Description
Acme Electric TA-1-81213 Industrial Control Transformer 250VA 480V 120V 50/60Hz
The Acme Electric Corporation TA-1-81213 is a 250 VA single-phase industrial control transformer designed to step down higher industrial voltages to standard control-circuit levels. It features a multi-tap primary winding that accepts 220V, 230V, 240V, 440V, 460V, or 480V, making it adaptable to a wide range of North American industrial power systems. The secondary outputs 110V, 115V, or 120V depending on the tap selected. Made in the USA by Acme Electric Corporation of Cuba, New York.

Applications
Industrial control transformers like the Acme Electric TA-1-81213 are standard components in machine tool panels, CNC equipment, conveyor systems, and other industrial automation and control circuits. Their purpose is to isolate and step down line voltage — typically 480V or 240V from the main power distribution — to the 120V level that control relays, solenoids, pilot lights, and PLCs operate on. The multi-tap primary design allows a single transformer model to serve across the range of voltages common in North American industrial facilities, from older 208V/240V delta systems up to the 480V wye systems standard in modern plants. Acme Electric Corporation (later Acme Transformers, now part of Hubbell) was a major U.S. manufacturer of these dry-type distribution and control transformers for decades; the TA-series control transformers remain widely used in legacy and ongoing industrial installations.
This Acme Electric Corporation TA-1-81213 250VA Industrial Control Transformer has been inspected and is in good used condition. The core and windings appear intact, and all terminal connections (H1–H4 primary, X1–X2 secondary) are present. The mounting flanges show surface rust and edge wear, and the housing has some paint scuffing and handwritten inventory markings — typical of a transformer that saw real service. Please review our photos for a full picture of cosmetic condition, and contact us if you have any questions.
