Construction and Materials
Hammond Manufacturing offers a robust line of transformers designed for reliability and performance. These transformers are engineered with high-quality materials to ensure efficient power conversion and long operational life.
The construction typically involves a core and coil assembly.
- Core: The core is usually fabricated from high-grade silicon steel laminations. This material is chosen for its excellent magnetic properties, which minimize hysteresis and eddy current losses, leading to increased efficiency. The laminations are insulated from each other to further reduce eddy currents.
- Coils: The windings are made from high-purity copper wire. The wire is insulated with a tough, heat-resistant enamel coating to prevent short circuits between turns and between layers. The coils are wound precisely onto the core to ensure optimal magnetic coupling and mechanical stability.
-
Encapsulation: Many Hammond transformers are encapsulated in a durable epoxy resin. This process serves multiple purposes:
- Provides excellent electrical insulation.
- Protects the core and coil assembly from moisture, dust, and other environmental contaminants.
- Enhances mechanical strength and vibration resistance.
- Aids in heat dissipation.
- Terminals: Connection points are typically robust screw terminals or solder lugs, designed for secure and reliable electrical connections.
- Enclosure (if applicable): Depending on the model, transformers may be housed in a protective enclosure. These enclosures can be made from materials like painted steel or aluminum, providing physical protection and ensuring safety.
The specific materials and construction details may vary slightly depending on the transformer series and its intended application, such as power transformers, control transformers, or audio transformers. However, the commitment to using premium materials and meticulous construction techniques remains a hallmark of Hammond Manufacturing products.

Options-Styles
Hammond Manufacturing offers a comprehensive range of style options for their transformer products, designed to meet diverse application needs and installation requirements. These options primarily revolve around enclosure types, materials, and mounting configurations, ensuring both functionality and safety.
Enclosure Types
- Chassis Mount Open Frame: These transformers are designed for integration into custom enclosures or panels where an open frame is acceptable and provides ample ventilation. They are ideal for applications where space is at a premium or where the transformer is already protected by the equipment's housing.
- Enclosed (Boxed) Transformers: Hammond Manufacturing provides a variety of enclosed transformer options. These typically feature robust metal enclosures that offer enhanced protection against physical damage, dust, and moisture. Enclosed units are crucial for safety in environments where exposed live parts must be avoided. Common enclosure styles include:
- General Purpose Enclosures: Suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
- Ventilated Enclosures: These enclosures incorporate features to allow for airflow, aiding in heat dissipation for transformers that generate significant heat during operation.
- Non-Ventilated (Sealed) Enclosures: Offer superior protection against environmental contaminants and are often used in dusty or humid conditions.
- Shielded Transformers: For applications requiring electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI) suppression, Hammond offers shielded transformers. These are constructed with special shielding materials integrated into the enclosure to minimize stray electromagnetic fields.
- Submersible Transformers: In specialized wet or underwater applications, submersible transformers are available, providing a high level of environmental protection.
Materials and Finishes
- Steel Enclosures: The most common material for enclosed transformers, steel offers durability and robust protection. Finishes may vary to include standard paint or powder coating for corrosion resistance.
- Aluminum Enclosures: For lighter weight applications or environments where corrosion is a significant concern, aluminum enclosures are utilized.
- Flame Retardant Materials: Certain components and enclosure materials may be specified as flame retardant to meet stringent safety codes and regulations.
Mounting Configurations
The mounting style is a critical aspect of transformer integration and is offered in several configurations:
- Chassis Mount: Designed to be bolted directly to a chassis or panel.
- Base Mount: Features a base that allows for secure mounting to a flat surface.
- Flange Mount: Incorporates a flange for panel mounting, often allowing for a flush or semi-flush installation.
- Wall Mount: Some larger units may come with brackets or provisions for wall mounting.
- Surface Mount: A general term that can encompass base or chassis mounting, referring to the transformer being mounted on an external surface.
