185D36

Power Transformers Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 185D36 is a low-voltage chassis-mount isolation transformer from the 185 series. It features dual primary windings rated for 115 VAC and 230 VAC operation at 50/60 Hz. The secondary configuration provides 36 VAC center-tapped at 1.2 A in series mode, or 18 VAC at 2.4 A in parallel mode. With a power rating of 43 VA, it utilizes quick connect terminals for installation. The unit measures 56.39 mm in length, 79.25 mm in width, and 68.07 mm in height.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Dual primary winding design allows flexible connection to either 115 VAC or 230 VAC input sources.
• Dual secondary windings enable configurable series or parallel output connections for varying voltage and current requirements.
• Constructed with Class F insulation and subjected to a 4,000 V RMS hipot test for enhanced electrical safety.

Power Transformers Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring isolated low-voltage power distribution
• Chassis-mounted equipment needing 115/230 VAC input conversion
• Automation systems utilizing rectifier circuits powered by 18V or 36V AC

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify that the required secondary configuration matches the application needs, as this model supports both series (36V CT @ 1.2A) and parallel (18V @ 2.4A) connections. Confirm terminal compatibility with quick connect connectors before integration. Ensure the chassis mounting space accommodates the specified dimensions. Check local shipping restrictions, as large industrial transformers may have specific transport regulations.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select the 185D36 when a 43 VA capacity is sufficient for the load. Choose this model over others if dual primary flexibility is required for global voltage standards. Consider the physical footprint of 56.39 x 79.25 x 68.07 mm against available chassis space. Opt for this component if quick connect termination is preferred over soldering or screw terminals for assembly efficiency.

Power Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond 185 series of industrial control transformers. These units are designed for robust performance in demanding environments. The series typically offers various voltage and wattage combinations to suit different industrial automation needs. Hammond Manufacturing has produced these transformers since 1932, emphasizing reliability in electrical enclosure components.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include models like 185C16 or 185D20, though their voltage and current ratings differ. Verify that any replacement maintains the 43 VA rating and compatible physical dimensions. Ensure the new part supports the required 115/230 VAC primary inputs and appropriate secondary configurations.
