TM Series Transformers
Description
Design Features
- Provides AC or DC bus supply voltages for up to four Aerotech controllers
- 300 watts max power output (TM3); 500 watts max power output (TM5)
- Auxiliary supply outputs for powering up to four additional products
TM3 Transformer Module
The TM3 transformer module provides and distributes isolated AC or DC bus supply voltages for up to four Aerotech controllers. It is configured at the factory to provide 28 VAC, 56 VAC, 115 VAC, 40 VDC, 80 VDC, or 160 VDC with a maximum transformer output power capability of 300 watts.
Additionally, the TM3 provides auxiliary supply outputs for powering the auxiliary power inputs of up to four Aerotech products. The TM3 also includes a 24 VDC power supply that provides the user with 24 VDC output. Other features of the TM3 include a soft-start circuit to limit inrush current and a voltage selector that can be configured for AC input voltages of 100 VAC, 115 VAC, 200 VAC, or 230 VAC.
TM5 Transformer Module
The TM5 transformer module is used to provide and distribute isolated AC bus supply voltages for up to four Aerotech controllers. It is configured at the factory to provide 28 VAC, 56 VAC, 115 VAC, or a combination of these voltages with a total output power capability of 500 watts. Additionally, the TM5 distributes the applied AC line voltage to each of the auxiliary supply outputs for powering the auxiliary power inputs of other Aerotech products. The TM5 may also be purchased with the 24 VDC power supply option that provides the user with 24 VDC output.
