I am planning on buying a transformer to run several of my machine tools. My RPC supplies 240 volts and the machines are 575. So I'm looking for a transformer to step up the voltage, one that is 240 primary, 600 secondary with the taps so I can buck or boost. I have tried to find a used transformer for some months when I find one the right voltage it is a Delta - Y step down unit. So I have decided to buy new and get on with life.
Here is my question: Are there any issues with using a transformer with a RPC that would favour a isolation transformer over a auto? I know that the isolation transformers are a more robust design but does the fact that the RPC is manufacturing the 3rd leg make a difference? I thought that on an isolation unit the coils were completely separate but the auto was different somehow.
Just wondering, Thanks.
