Description
The Honeywell AT140A1000/U Class 2 Transformer is a high-quality electrical device designed to convert electrical voltage from one level to another, making it an essential component in various electrical and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) applications. This specific transformer is rated at 40 VA (volt-amperes) and features a primary voltage of 120 VAC (volts alternating current) at 60 Hz (hertz) and a secondary voltage of 24 VAC.
Transformers are fundamental devices that play a crucial role in supplying the necessary power to various electrical and electronic components within a system. In the case of the AT140A1000/U transformer, it serves as a vital power source for low-voltage systems, controls, and accessories, commonly found in HVAC systems, doorbells, thermostats, and other applications.
The 40 VA rating of this transformer indicates its capacity to provide 40 watts of power to the connected devices. This rating ensures that it can reliably power and operate a range of low-voltage components, making it versatile and suitable for diverse applications.
The primary voltage of 120 VAC 60 Hz refers to the voltage input from the main power source. In this case, the transformer is designed to accept standard household voltage, which is 120 volts at a frequency of 60 hertz. The primary voltage is where the transformer receives electrical power before converting it to the secondary voltage.
The secondary voltage of 24 VAC is the output voltage provided by the transformer to the connected low-voltage devices. This lower voltage is typically safer for controlling and powering electronic components, reducing the risk of electrical shock or damage to sensitive equipment.
Installation of the Honeywell AT140A1000/U transformer is straightforward and typically involves connecting the primary side to the main power source and the secondary side to the low-voltage components. Proper wiring and installation are essential to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the connected devices.
This Class 2 transformer complies with safety and performance standards, making it a trusted choice for professionals in the HVAC industry, electrical contractors, and homeowners. Its reliability and versatility make it suitable for a wide range of applications where low-voltage power conversion is required.
