Q116UM by Danaher

The Danaher Q116UM from the POWERSTAT Transformers series is a high-precision voltage control transformer designed for industrial automation applications. Featuring bidirectional knob rotation, this unit provides fine-grained voltage regulation in both clockwise (0–140 V) and counterclockwise (0–120 V) directions. The transformer delivers a maximum output power of 1.0 kVA and supports both single-phase and 3-phase Wye configurations, enabling versatile deployment across diverse power systems. The rugged construction and dual-direction adjustment mechanism ensure consistent performance in demanding operational environments. As part of the Danaher portfolio, the Q116UM combines robust electrical design with user-centric control features for optimized power delivery.

The Q116UM’s technical specifications underline its capability to handle mixed reactive and resistive loads with precision. It supports an input voltage of 120 V, 50/60 Hz and a phase configuration selectable between Single phase or Wye for 3-phase systems. The unit sustains a continuous output current of 7.5 Amps and accommodates a maximum apparent power of 1.0 kVA under nominal conditions. Under constant current load, it can deliver up to 9 Amps (3.8 kVA), and under constant impedance load, up to 12 Amps (5.0 kVA). The standard jumper configuration is set to a movable common position for flexible grounding and wiring options.

Operational features of the Q116UM include support for both back-of-panel or bench mounting and compatibility with panels up to 3/4 inch thick. The transformer’s knob rotation direction is specified as Both CW and CCW supported, allowing dynamic adaptation to changing load demands. It exhibits thermal and electrical stability when modulating voltage between 0–140 V CW and 0–120 V CCW, delivering consistent performance across its full output range. The robust mechanical design ensures secure installation, while the movable common jumper facilitates rapid configuration changes without rewiring.

System integration is streamlined by the Q116UM’s compatibility with existing Danaher control architectures and standard industrial power topologies. Its flexible connection type – either #1 single-phase or #3 3-phase Wye – supports seamless integration into distribution panels, test benches, or field-mounted enclosures. The precise voltage control and robust load handling make this transformer ideal for laboratory power supplies, electronic test systems, and industrial automation equipment where tight voltage tolerances are critical. Engineers benefit from the combination of the Q116UM’s modular mounting options, comprehensive specification set, and Danaher’s reputation for reliability in power control applications.
