2500 Series
The 2510/2520 Series Variable Transformers represent a compact
high current variable transformer design. The 2510, 120
volt unit is rated at 25 amperes for constant current loads; while
the 2520, 240 volt unit is rated at 10 amperes for constant current
loads. Constant impedance ratings are listed in the specifications.
They can be operated at frequencies between 50 and
2000 Hertz with derating at higher than rated frequency.
Uncased models have the shaft extending from the base end.
This shaft is fully adjustable and can be extended from either
end for general utility mounting. Cased styles are available in
either “C” style (featuring protective screening over the coil
assembly only) or the “CT” style (which also includes a terminal
box cover with knock-outs to accept conduit).
Motor-driven models are available in single, two, or three
ganged assemblies in cased or uncased styles as identified by
the prefix “M” in the part number. If a motor driven model is
ordered, be sure to prefix the part number with the desired travel
time from 0 to maximum of 5, 15, 30 or 60 seconds.
Example: 5M2510CT. The synchronous motor is designed for
operation on 120 volts, 50/60 Hertz, single phase lines and
draws approximately 0.3 amperes.
• Jumper provided in the standard common position and should be moved or removed as
required.

‡ Unit is fused for the constant current rating at the factory.
+ Motor driven units use terminal connections for CCW increasing voltage, as viewed from
the base end. See Figure 23 on page 9 for motor wiring.
If ganged units are used in a system that ordinarily has a common neutral or ground
between source and load, the neutral or ground must be connected to the common terminals
of the variable transformer assembly. If the system has no neutral, the load must
be balanced or the transformers will be damaged.
# Maximum output current in output voltage range from 0 to 25% above line voltage. At higher
output voltages, the output current must be reduced according to the derating curve,
Figure B, page 6.

Maximum KVA for lower voltages may be calculated from derating curve Figure B, page 6
