    Types QB, QMS, and QL 600 Volts and Below are GE's dry-type transformers that provide reliable operation and meet various industry standards. They are rated 600 volts or below and are used to obtain load voltages such as 480, 240, 208 and 120 volts from distribution voltages like 600, 480 and 240 volts. Type QB and QMS models are enclosed in weatherproof enclosures while Type QL models have drip-proof enclosures. All models have voltage taps and insulation systems designed to compensate for temperatures up to 220°C while maintaining design life. Sound levels are quiet and below industry standards depending on KVA rating. Terminations accommodate various cable types and connectors.

    Transformers General Information

    Types QB, QMS, and QL 600 Volts and Below


    The complete family of transformers from GE provides quiet, reliable operation.
    All of the dry-type transformers through 1000 KVA are UL listed under the requirements of Standard 506 and 1561. In addition each transformer meets the requirements of NEMA ST-20, 1992.
    Type QB and QMS models are C-UL listed.
    General-purpose transformers are rated 600 volts and below for supplying appliance, lighting and power loads from electrical distribution systems. Standard distribution voltages are 600, 480
    and 240 volts; standard load voltages are 480, 240, 208 and 120 volts. The transformer is used to obtain the load voltage from the distribution voltage. Since no vaults are required for
    installation these transformers can be located right at the load to provide the correct voltage for the application. This eliminates the need for long, costly, low-voltage feeders.
    Construction
    Types QB and QMS
    Core and Coils are contained within a NEMA 3R non-ventilated weatherproof enclosure. Type QB and QMS units feature encapsulated core and coils.
    Type QL
    Units are enclosed in a NEMA 2 drip-proof metal enclosure with natural-draft ventilation. Core-and-coil assembly is mounted on rubber isolation pads to reduce noise. Weathershield kits are
    available for conversion to a NEMA 3R enclosure suitable for outdoor service. All QL DOE2016 model part numbers begin with 9T1.
    Voltage Tap Arrangement
    Transformer taps compensate for high or low line voltages. Standard NEMA, ANSI three-phase taps are two 5 percent taps below normal on transformers smaller than 30 KVA. This
    arrangement provides a 10 percent range of tap voltage adjustment.
    Most standard QL units rated 15 through 500 KVA have available six universal voltage taps-four 2 1/2 percent below normal and two 2 1/2 percent above normal. This arrangement provides a
    15 percent range of tap voltage adjustment.
    Temperature Class
    Industry standards classify insulation systems in accordance with the rating system shown below.
    Insulation system classification
    Ambient + Winding Rise + Hot Spot = Temp. Class
    40°C 55°C 10°C 105°C
    40°C 80°C 30°C 150°C
    40°C 115°C 25°C 180°C
    40°C 150°C 30°C 220°C
    All standard general-purpose, GE transformers meet all applicable NEMA, ANSI, UL and IEEE standards.
    The design life of transformers having different insulation systems is the same, since the allowable temperature rise of an insulation material system is predicated on a specified life for all
    insulation. The lower temperature systems are designed for the same life as higher temperature systems.
    Sound Levels
    All general-purpose transformers are as quiet, or quieter than the 1986 ANSI and NEMA standards for sound levels. Average sound levels are warranted not to exceed the values listed for each
    load rating shown in the adjacent table. Sound characteristics vary between transformers of identical voltage and KVA rating. The range of variation may be 4 to 8 decibels.
    These values apply only to specified test conditions because the characteristic of the installation can cause them to be higher under operating conditions. Where acoustical noise is deemed to
    be of unusual concern, proper steps should be taken during installation to minimize audible noise transmission.
    Sound Levels (Decibels)¹ for 150°C Rise Models
    KVA Sound Levels
    0-9 40
    10 - 50 45
    51 - 150 50
    151 - 300 55
    301 - 500 60
    ¹Measure per ANSI C89 2-1986.
    Termination
    Improved termination spacing and wiring compartment room gives greater flexibility in selecting various UL listed connectors for either copper or aluminum cable. A listing of suitable
    connectors is packaged with each GE transformer.
