Tecnotrafo TKS 320 VA Single Phase Control Transformer

Tecnotrafo TKS 320 VA Single Phase Control & Command Transformer

The Tecnotrafo TKS 320 VA single phase transformer is a high-reliability, European-designed control and command transformer to provide steady power isolation in severe settings. Built in Spain by Tecnológica Industrial S.A., this small unit offers an innovative multi-tap primary configuration ($230\text{V} – 400\text{V} – 460\text{V}$) and a dual-voltage secondary side ($115\text{V} \text{ or } 230\text{V}$ with a center tap).

It is designed with an IP-20 certified auto-extinguishing protective enclosure for excellent safety against accidental contact and minimum electromagnetic interference (EMI). For naval distribution panels, industrial machinery, and localized automation networks, where voltage adaptation and clean power isolation are vital, its robust thermal management and class HC (200°C) copper wire windings make it an ideal choice.

Technical Specifications

Applications

1. Marine & Offshore Vessels: Well suited for use in vessel distribution boxes, bridge console instrumentation and engine control room automation networks operating on typical marine voltages such as $460\text{V}$ at $60\text{ Hz}$.
2. Industrial Automation Controls: Ideal for powering auxiliary control circuits, contactors, human machine interfaces (HMIs) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs)
3. Machine Tool & CNC Systems Local step-down isolation transformer for machine control circuits in large manufacturing machinery. Works reliably.
4. Power Distribution Panels: Provides a safety galvanic isolation buffer to protect sensitive electronic relays from voltage surges on primary distribution lines.

Our Engineer’s Insight:

The Tecnotrafo 232B14TKS is a workhorse for control applications. In shipboard environments, the $460\text{V}$ primary input line is standard for machinery spaces. Stepping the voltage down to $115\text{V}$ for control logic or local automation systems without bringing dangerous high voltage to the panel door is a critical safety practice. The unit’s dual $50/60\text{Hz}$ rating ensures flawless performance whether a ship is operating on its own generators or connected to shore-side power grids
