A POWERSTAT
The “Damage and Shortage” instructions packed with the unit outline the procedures to follow if any parts are damaged or missing.
Metered L2M Series POWERSTAT
Variable Transformers are continuously
adjustable autotransformers having a
movable brush-tap riding on a precious
metal plated commutator. Rotation of
the knob delivers any output voltage
in the range of zero to or above line
voltage. Operating characteristics
make them ideally suited for laboratory,
testing and other applications requiring
a portable source of variable AC voltage.
POWERSTAT Variable Transformers are
ruggedly designed for heavy duty use.
They provide excellent regulation with only
negligible variation in output voltage from
no-load to full-load current. Waveform
distortion is also negligible. Over 70 years
of variable transformer manufacturing
experience with rigid inspection at every
production stage in an ISO 9001:2000
certified environment assures a quality
built product.
All L2M Series POWERSTAT Variable
Transformers feature POWERKOTE Coils
for longer life, increased ratings, greater
overload capacity and better resistance to
fungus, salt spray and other contaminating
atmospheres. The precious metal plated
commutator of the coil is imbedded in a
high temperature material which holds
the windings in place even under severe
overloads. As a result, these units provide
higher output ratings per pound and per
dollar than competitive variable transformers.
MOUNTING
Although ideal for portable, benchtop or
shelf use, L2M Series units can be wall
mounted to any flat surface having a total
thickness of ½-inch or less. Using the
template (reverse side), locate and drill the
four No. 10 clearance holes. Using the four
thread forming screws provided, insert them
thru the flat mounting surface and then into
the holes on the back of the L2M Series unit.

Variable Transformer is a precision product packed with care. Examine it carefully for any shipping damage when unpacking.

INSTALLATION
Input connection is through a grounded
NEMA 5-15 line cord approximately 6 feet
long. Output connection is by means of a
NEMA-style receptacle, 5-WAY® Binding
Posts or a combination of both. Regardless
of the method of output connection, the
total output current rating of the unit must
not be exceeded. Polarity of the circuit is
maintained from input to output, therefore
the polarity of the receptacle is always
correct. Polarity of the 5-WAY Binding
Posts is black for line, white for neutral
and green for ground. Output metering
is provided by separate analog voltmeter
and ammeter having accuracies of ± 3%.
OPERATION
Connections and controls on L2M Series
units are designed for easy operation.
1. Be sure the main power switch is in the
2. Insert the input cord and plug assembly
3. Plug the load(s) into the receptacle and/
4. Place the main power switch in the “ON”
In many test applications, it is advisable to
turn power on with the output knob set at the
zero position. This permits monitoring of
the load current by the front panel ammeter
as voltage is increased to safeguard against
potential shorts or miswiring in the load.

or “I” position. The brightly colored “ON”
indicator of the rocker style thermal
magnetic circuit breaker power switch
will become visible and the voltmeter
reading will match the output knob
position indicated by the front panel
markings. A switch guard protects from
accidental switching. Voltage increases
with a clockwise turn of the knob. The
voltage level can be monitored using the
voltmeter provided on the front panel.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Circuit protection is provided on the unit
input and output by a thermal magnetic
circuit breaker incorporating two poles.
One pole is connected to the input line and
the other to the output line. This configu-
ration protects the unit from catastrophic
overloading conditions which include
substantial output overloads in the current
derated portion of 0 to 280 VAC models
(140-280 VAC).
ENVIRONMENTAL
To m e e t cu rr e n t ra t i n g s , a v e r a g e
operating ambient temperature for any
24-hour period should not exceed 30°C
(86°F) with maximum temperature not
to exceed 40°C (104°F). When oper-
ated at higher temperatures, output
current must be reduced as follows:
Maximum Ambient Load Derating Factor
The units can be operated in ambient tem-
peratures below -20°C (-4°F) but there is
a danger of mechanical freezing. Storage
ambient temperatures are -40°C to 70°C
(-40°F to 158°F).
MAINTENANCE
Except for the possible replacement of a
brush assembly, a POWERSTAT Variable
Transformer should not require servicing
if the ratings of the unit are not exceeded.
Normally, brushes last for the life of the
unit. They should be inspected periodi-
cally by removing the cover and replaced if
badly worn. Use only the correct Superior
Electric replacement brush assembly listed
because they contain special materials to
attain proper operation.

... STEP-UP. Types L2M216C and L2M226C are wired to a lower input voltage tap that permits operation from a 120 VAC input source to obtain an output voltage of 0-280 V. Because of the increased copper loss in the voltage boost section of the winding, the output current must be reduced according to Figure A whenever the output exceeds 125% of the output voltage. 28 SPRING LANE • ...
