Q116UM

The Danaher Q116UM transformer, part of the POWERSTAT Transformers series, delivers precision voltage control for industrial and automation applications. This unit features bidirectional knob rotation, enabling output voltage adjustment from 0–140V in the clockwise direction and 0–120V counterclockwise. With a maximum output power of 1.0 kVA, the Q116UM supports both single-phase and 3-Phase Wye configurations for versatile deployment. Its durable design accommodates bench mounting or back-of-panel mounting, making it suitable for both laboratory benches and enclosed control panels. Designed for repeatable, fine-grained voltage modulation, this transformer ensures stable operation under varying load conditions.

The Q116UM is specified for an input voltage of 120V, 50/60 Hz and provides an output current of 7.5 Amps under rated conditions. It handles a constant current load of up to 9 Amps (3.8 kVA) and a constant impedance load up to 12 Amps (5.0 kVA), highlighting its capacity to manage reactive and resistive loads. The device’s connection type supports both #1 Single phase and #3 3-Phase Wye wiring, with a standard movable common jumper to simplify grounding and configuration changes. Mechanical compatibility extends to panels up to 3/4 inch thick, ensuring seamless integration in standard industrial enclosures. These specifications are critical for engineers calculating thermal dissipation, voltage drop, and safety clearances in complex automation systems.

Operational features include a robust transformer core designed for minimal saturation, yielding stable voltage under sudden load transients. The bidirectional knob provides linear response characteristics across both clockwise and counterclockwise ranges, reducing overshoot when adjusting to precise setpoints. Efficiency at nominal load remains above 95%, minimizing heat generation and extending service life in continuous-duty applications. The Q116UM’s insulation and winding design meet industry safety standards, safeguarding connected equipment from spikes and transients. Its repeatable adjustment mechanism supports automated calibration routines when combined with external measurement and control systems.

System integration is streamlined by the transformer’s compatibility with common industrial controllers and power distribution architectures. Engineers can deploy the Q116UM in robotics, motor drives, test benches, or process control racks that require fine voltage tuning. The combination of Danaher reliability and the flexible mounting options makes this transformer ideal for retrofits or new installations. Target applications include industrial automation, laboratory instrumentation, and manufacturing lines where precise voltage regulation is essential.
