Good morning, I am working on a legacy Schindler Miconic A with a burned out transformer, and cannot source an exact replacement from our suppliers. This transformer is single phase, with multi-tap secondary, running on 60 hertz, 480 mains voltage with a 950watt rating. This 480vac primary is getting ph2 and ph3 legs at 277vac on h1 and h2 respectively. The secondary taps: x1 is 120vac; x2 is neutral/ground; x5 is 150vac; x6 is neutral/ground; and when measured on a healthy transformer x3 is 70vac; x4 is 50vac.

X3/x4 confuses me. I have included a copy of the print for you to reference: x3/x4 are power for the door operators. As you can see, it can be either 115vac or 208vac (depending on the motor). I understand that there are plenty of motors that pull two hots from a 208vac source, but ive never heard of a motor using two hots from some kind of 3 phase 115v source.

Ive been unable to find a transformer that offers a tap at 50vac and 70 vac. Im even struggling to find a transformer offering both a 120vac and 150vac tap. Perhaps I just dont know of the right manufacturers or distributors to search? Maybe I need to source 3 separate transformers? Is it possible to custom order, or even try and get the transformer repaired?

How would you go about solving this problem?

Have you reached out to Adam’s or Radwell?

I know we have bought refurbished transformers in the past from them.
