Application – Single-Phase Motors
Buck-Boost transformers are power transformers, not control transformers. They may also be used to lower voltage
when the available power supply voltage is too high.
when the available power supply voltage is too high.
When the available power supply voltage is not within
the proper range, a buck-boost transformer is often
used to adjust voltage to match the motor. The most
common usage on submersible motors is boosting a
208 volt supply to use a standard 230 volt single-phase
submersible motor and control. While tables to give a

(1) Do not add running capacitors to 1/3 through 1 hp control boxes, which use solid state switches or QD relays.
Adding capacitors will cause switch failure. If the control box is converted to use a voltage relay, the specifi ed
running capacitance can be added.

Auxiliary Running Capacitors
Buck-Boost Transformers
Added capacitors must be connected across “Red” and
“Black” control box terminals, in parallel with any existing
running capacitors. The additional capacitor(s) should
be mounted in an auxiliary box. The values of additional
running capacitors most likely to reduce noise are given
below. The tabulation gives the max S.F. amps normally
in each lead with the added capacitor.

Although motor amps decrease when auxiliary
run capacitance is added, the load on the motor
does not. If a motor is overloaded with normal
capacitance, it still will be overloaded with auxiliary
run capacitance, even though motor amps may be
within nameplate values.
