Burton 15180 AC-AC Transformer 120V Primary 8/20/32/40V Multi-Tap Secondary 80VA

Burton 15180 AC-AC Transformer 120V Primary 8/20/32/40V Multi-Tap Secondary 80VA

The Burton 15180 is a single-phase, open-frame AC-AC step-down transformer with a 120V primary and four selectable secondary output taps: 8, 20, 32, and 40 volts AC. Rated at 80VA and 60Hz, it is a wire-lead unit with a common red neutral wire shared across the secondary taps — connect the red wire as your neutral and attach your second lead to whichever labeled wire delivers the AC voltage you need.

Applications

Multi-tap chassis-mount transformers like the Burton 15180 are used wherever a piece of equipment or control circuit needs a low-voltage AC supply derived from a standard 120V line. The four selectable secondary taps make it versatile for powering indicator lights, relays, solenoids, timing circuits, small motors, and other low-voltage AC loads within industrial control panels, test fixtures, and custom equipment builds. Open-frame transformer designs of this type were — and still are — common in OEM equipment manufacturing, where the transformer is mounted directly to a chassis or panel as part of a larger assembly. Burton has supplied industrial and OEM transformers of this style since the mid-20th century, and units like this remain practical for maintenance, repair, and custom project applications wherever a 120V to 8–40VAC conversion at modest power levels is needed.
