Used ACME Electric Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Acme Electric was founded in 1917 and spent its early decades producing electrical appliances and battery chargers before pivoting decisively into transformer manufacturing. The company introduced its dry-type distribution transformer in 1936 and grew steadily from its base in Lumberton, North Carolina. In 2004 Acme acquired Amveco Magnetics, adding toroidal transformer expertise to its portfolio, and the company later became a division of Hubbell Incorporated, further expanding its engineering resources and global reach.

Acme Electric's flagship product lines center on dry-type transformers spanning a wide kVA range. The T Series covers single- and three-phase general-purpose distribution transformers, while the TPC3 Series addresses larger three-phase distribution needs. For machine tool and factory automation control circuits, the TA and TB Series open core and coil transformers and the AE and CE Series encapsulated industrial control transformers are widely specified. The Buck-Boost Series provides an economical solution for correcting off-standard line voltages by 5 to 20 percent without requiring a full isolation transformer. All product lines are designed and rated to meet or exceed UL, CSA, CE, NEMA, ANSI, and IEEE standards.

Acme Electric transformers are found across a broad range of end markets. Industrial manufacturing facilities rely on them for motor drive and factory automation power distribution. Commercial construction projects specify Acme units for general building power. Data centers use the company's low-voltage PDU transformers for reliable power conditioning, and OEM equipment builders integrate Acme control transformers into machine tool panels, packaging lines, and process control systems. Hazardous-location variants serve petrochemical and other demanding plant environments.

Buyers seeking used Acme Electric transformers are drawn by the brand's century-long reputation for rugged, low-maintenance construction. Dry-type designs eliminate the fire and environmental risks associated with oil-filled units, and the epoxy-encapsulated control transformer series resist moisture, dirt, and vibration exceptionally well. Replacement parts and cross-reference data remain widely available through Hubbell's distribution network, making maintenance straightforward on older units. The combination of long service life, broad kVA availability, and strong resale value makes used Acme Electric transformers a practical choice for facilities looking to reduce capital expenditure without sacrificing reliability.
