Buck-Boost Transformers

Stabilize input voltage by 5–25% in UPS, lighting, and control systems

Buck-Boost Transformers for Voltage Correction

A buck-boost transformer is a compact transformer used for small voltage correction by either stepping down (buck) or stepping up (boost) the supply voltage through a series-connected winding. It is typically used where full voltage stabilisation or electrical isolation is not required, but precise correction of under- or over-voltage conditions is necessary.

Buck-boost transformers are commonly applied to correct voltage variations in the range of ±5% to ±25% and are widely used in UPS systems, lighting installations, HVAC equipment, industrial control panels, and power distribution units where space, efficiency, and cost are key considerations.

As one of the established buck boost transformer manufacturers in India, Rishab Industries designs and manufactures custom buck-boost transformers supporting power ratings up to 100 kVA, suitable for single-phase and three-phase systems operating at 50 Hz and 60 Hz.

Applications:

Buck-boost transformers are used in applications where equipment performance is affected by consistent under-voltage or over-voltage conditions and only minor voltage correction is required. They are preferred in systems where space constraints, energy efficiency, and cost control are critical, and where full voltage stabilisation or electrical isolation is unnecessary. By correcting voltage at the point of use, buck-boost transformers help protect equipment, improve operational stability, and reduce thermal stress on electrical components.

What does a Buck-Boost Transformer do?

A buck-boost transformer corrects small voltage variations by either stepping down (buck) or stepping up (boost) the supply voltage. It is used to stabilise under-voltage or over-voltage conditions where full voltage regulation or electrical isolation is not required.

How does a Buck-Boost Transformer work?

A buck-boost transformer uses a series-connected winding to add to or subtract from the incoming voltage. Depending on the wiring configuration, the transformer either boosts or bucks the supply voltage to achieve the required correction level.
