Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications for the Medical Grade Plug-In Line Isolation Transformers from Hammond Manufacturing, specifically the 178, 240, 289, and 298 "MG" Series. These transformers are designed for non-patient connected indoor applications requiring protection of sensitive electronics, such as high-end audio, medical electronics, and laboratory equipment.
Certifications: The transformers are cULus and CSA listed, complying with UL 60601-1 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1-M90 standards.
Key Features:
  • Complete line isolation and noise filtering with a Faraday shield to reduce leakage currents below 100 microamps.
  • Not suitable for life support appliances.
  • Available in three VA capacities: 500VA, 1000VA, and 1800VA, all rated at 50/60Hz.
  • Four electrical configurations: 120V-120V, 240V-240V, 240V-120V, and 120V-240V.
  • Vented 14-gauge steel housing with white powder paint.
  • Hospital Grade 3-wire grounded input plug and 2 or 3 duplex hospital grade output receptacles.
  • On-Off switch/circuit breaker combo and built-in automatic thermal cut-out for protection.
Technical Specifications:
  • Straight Isolation (120 VAC to 120 VAC): Models 178MG500, 178MG1000, 178MG1800 with efficiencies ranging from 93% to 96%.
  • Straight Isolation (240 VAC to 240 VAC): Models 240MG500, 240MG1000, 240MG1800 with similar efficiencies.
  • Step-Down Isolation (240 VAC to 120 VAC): Models 289MG500, 289MG1000, 289MG1800.
  • Step-Up Isolation (120 VAC to 240 VAC): Models 298MG500, 298MG1000, 298MG1800.
Conclusion: These transformers are ideal for applications requiring low leakage and high efficiency, ensuring the protection of sensitive electronic equipment in medical and studio environments.
