March 11, 2024

Encapsulated Transformers for Commercial Applications – 1ph, 3ph Current: HPS Fortress™

For commercial applications where airborne contaminants are present, HPS general-purpose encapsulated transformers offer a cost-effective solution that prioritizes safety, quality and ease of installation and maintenance.

The core and coil are completely encapsulated in epoxy and silica, providing excellent protection against airborne particles and moisture build-up inside the transformer enclosure.

Designed for commercial applications including:
  • Shopping Centers
  • Schools
  • Sports Complexes
  • Office Buildings
  • Lighting
  • Wastewater

Why choose HPS encapsulated transformers for your commercial application?

Easy installation and maintenance – Three phase units have a removable hinged door that makes it easy to access terminations during installation and maintenance. Factory installed grounding lugs save time with easy access to the ground.

Reliable and durable – All three phase units come with a standard 10 kV BIL rating for increased reliability and protection against critical equipment failure. Standard Type 3R enclosures and texture painted Type 4 enclosures provide excellent durability.

Cost effective solution – Aluminum windings on units above 2 kVA provide an economical solution without compromising on quality and performance. Single phase units below 2 kVA have copper windings.

Packed with features – Every unit comes standard with many features that are designed to meet your application demands throughout the lifespan of your transformer.

  • 10 Year Warranty
  • Ratings
    • Single Phase: from 50VA to 37.5kVA
    • Three Phase: from 6kVA to 75kVA
  • 60 Hz frequency (50/60 Hz on four single phase voltage groups)
  • An extensive standard offering of primary and secondary volts from 120V to 600V
  • Export model: 190V / 200V / 208V / 220V / 240x380V / 400V / 416V / 440V / 480V
  • CSA and UL listed

New Options Added To Hammond Power Solutions’ HPS Centurion P And HPS Sentinel Lines

HPS Centurion™ P passive harmonic filter is specifically engineered to mitigate harmonic currents created by non-linear loads. It is currently available from 5 to 500 horsepower and it improves power quality by simultaneously reducing harmonics and improving true power factor. The advanced HPS design delivers superior performance compared to a traditional harmonic filter by reducing harmonic current distortion by 80% (typically to 5% or less at full load), corrects corrects true power factor to over 95%, and meets IEEE 519 harmonic requirements when operated within designed parameters.
