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 from 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 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.

The new Dimmable LED power supply from Foster Transformer features patented short circuit and overload protection yet can be dimmed with a standard household dimmer. Encapsulated in epoxy and housed in a 304 Stainless Steel enclosure, this power supply is virtually impervious to dirt, moisture, and corrosive elements, making it ideal for use with signage, lighting and other industrial, commercial, and institutional applications. This unique power supply can withstand a direct short in excess of 15 days, with no external fusing required. Product accepts multiple input voltages including 120V, 240V, and 277V, 50/60 Hz, with output configurable for 12 VDC or 24 VDC up to 60 W. ETL certified for North American and CE marked for Europe. Tested to ANSI/UL 60950-1, CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-03 and EN60950-1. Limited power source output allows for Class 2 wiring. Standard electrical...

With the recent addition of its 100VA model, Foster Transformer offers the widest capacity range of Inherently Limited Class 2 transformers in the industry. The SURVIVOR family ranges from 40 VA to 100 VA – the industry’s largest. Each model features patented short circuit and overload protection which allows them to withstand a direct short circuit in excess of 15 days. For applications requiring less power, the Low Voltage Class 2 family includes 5 VA and 20 VA capacities. Due to their Inherently Limited classification, SURVIVOR transformers eliminate the need for external protection or the problematic internal fusing. They also extend the range of Class 2 transformers allowing them to be used in intermittent duty applications that would cause the fuses or circuit breakers used by other manufacturers to open. Elimination of external fusing lowers the installed cost and...

Foster Transformer introduces the 100 VA SURVIVOR Class 2 transformer, the highest capacity inherently limited class 2 transformer in the world. This is the newest in the line of SURVIVOR series transformers with patented short circuit and overload protection which them to withstand a direct short circuit in excess of 15 days. All SURVIVOR transformers, including the 100 VA model, are classified as Inherently Limited. This eliminates the need for external protection or the problematic internal fusing. It also extends the range of Class 2 transformers allowing them to be used in intermittent duty applications that would cause the fuses or circuit breakers used by other manufacturers to open. Elimination of external fusing lowers the installed cost and total cost of ownership of the product since no servicing...

A new line of RoHS compliant Current Transformers from Foster Transformer features compact construction and multiple mounting options to meet any design parameter. They are ideal for use in motor control applications, UPS systems, appliances, or any application where isolated current monitoring is desirable.

Standard models feature a 1:500 turns ratio and handle rated currents from 0.1 to 30.0 Amps. Custom designs for other current ranges or ratios are available with a 1,000 piece minimum order. Operating frequency range is from 50 Hz to 400 Hz. These unique transformers feature a primary resistance of 1.1 m¥Ø (typ) with a secondary resistance of 16.7 ¥Ø (max). Each size/model includes UL Recognized Class 130 (B) insulation. Optional ¨ù¡± quick connect terminals keep high current off of the printed circuit board and simplify connections....
