Acme Electric Corporation Opti-Miser® Energy Efficient Transformers


More than 20 years ago, Acme envisioned the development of a transformer that provides customers maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Operating at a higher efficiency than standard transformers, the Opti-Miser® dry-type distribution transformer can provide thousands of dollars in cost savings for your company. Acme engineered the Opti-Miser® design criterion to increase efficiency. As a result, load losses have been decreased by 15 to 35%.

Utilizing a wound core and coil design that provides reduced core loss; the Opti-Miser® is the pioneer in energy efficient transformers developed in the industry. Over the years, it has provided customers consistent, dependable service and cost savings. When NEMA developed the TP-1 Standard, the Opti-Miser® already met the strict requirements for increased energy efficiency. With its unique design and use of superior materials, the Opti-Miser® can provide optimal energy efficiency at the TP-1 level and is qualified to bear the Energy Star® label.

Opti-Miser® reduces the amount of core loss that a company pays for and is designed for maximum efficiency; the cost savings realized can result in a payback period of less than five years. When you consider the long life expectancy of a transformer and then include the cost savings that result from using the Opti-Miser® during that period, it's easy to see why more and more companies are choosing this transformer for their power distribution needs. Essentially, the Opti-Miser® begins providing cost savings from the moment it is energized.

Opti-Miser® is available in 80°, 115°, and 150° C Rise, 220°C insulation system, single and three-phase units. Units are available in multiple primary and secondary configurations; 240 x 480; 600; 480 delta primary volts and 120/240; 208Y/120; 240 secondary volts.

All units are covered by Acme's ten year limited warranty and meet or exceed UL, CSA, NEMA, ANSI and OSHA standards.
