Foster Transformer introduces a line of RoHS compliant isolation transformers which are suitable for step-up, step-down and 1:1 voltage applications. An electrostatic shield between the primary and secondary windings enhances safety and provides suppression of transients and electrical noise. When used in a 1:1 configuration, these isolation transformers protect sensitive electrical equipment installed in electrically “noisy” environments and allow the use of commercial grade printers, computers and other peripheral devices in medical equipment by isolating them from mains power.

Contractors and end-users wishing to use “green” LED lighting can now do so while retaining the aesthetics of dimmable lighting with a new dimmable LED power supply made in the USA by Foster Transformer.  With patented short circuit and overload protection, this new technology is easy to install and use, and it works with many household dimmer switches.  It is ideal for commercial, industrial and institutional uses - especially those which call for “made in America” components, as well as for individuals wishing to control the output of their architectural LED lighting. 

Commercial applications such as restaurants and entertainment establishments benefit from the mood-setting low lighting available through dimmable switches, yet they still reap the energy savings and design versatility of LEDs.  Casinos and gaming venues enjoy the architectural characteristics of LED lighting with the dimming capability of conventional lighting.

New inherently limited Class 2 Transformers from Foster Transformer are easier to install and operate since they require no external fusing and contain no internal current fuses.  Designed for applications requiring a hard wired, externally mounted Class 2 power source, these UL listed and C-UL Certified transformers are ideal for many control applications.  Manufactured with UL Class 130 (B) Insulation Systems and Class 155 (F) magnet wire, these transformers are designed to last the life of the systems they power.  They are ideal for use with alarm systems, motion sensors, automated faucets & toilets, remote signaling, low voltage lighting, door openers, control systems, dispensing equipment and commercial appliances. 

Foster Transformer introduces a line of RoHS compliant isolation transformers which are suitable for step-up, step-down and 1:1 voltage applications.  An electrostatic shield between the primary and secondary windings enhances safety and provides suppression of transients and electrical noise.  When used in a 1:1 voltage configuration, these isolation transformers allow medical equipment manufacturers to use commercial grade printers, computers and other peripheral devices which would not normally meet the leakage current specs for medical equipment.  Their higher efficiency, lower temperature rise, Class 180 Insulation, and layer wound construction allow Foster Isolation Transformers to last longer than comparably rated models.  Suitable for use with Medical EN 60601-1 devices, these products are ideal for medical devices and equipment as well as industrial and commercial products including industrial controls, commercial appliances, machine tools, and more.
