Tanning Bed Transformer

Even 110 volt beds meet stringent standards to ensure they are safe

The tanning bed transformer used in tanning beds meets all safety regulations, so you can rest assured the tanning beds are safe. Even 110 volt tanning beds must meet stringent regulations relating to the transformers.

The past few years have seen some very functional innovations in the electrical systems used on tanning beds. The end result has been a very efficient system that runs the lamps at a fraction of the cost of older systems, while still operating within the limits of the components to maintain reliability and safety.

Heat is the number one enemy of any electrical system. Inefficient voltage will cause considerable down time because components will fail on a regular basis.

The newer transformers have eliminated the heat problem with a well designed cooling system. Thus they operate much more efficiently with a lot less downtime.

The Buck Booster is one of these innovative transformers, and appears to be the most common transformer used in tanning beds Refer to manufacture specifications to ensure you are replacing your transformer with the correct one.

Below is some general information on the transformers group structure. This information is not intended to be used as technical advice.

Group I is the standard buck booster which is flexible to different voltages

Group II is a pre-connect single phase corded unit with plug and receptacle

Group III is a single phase auto transformer pre wired to your voltage requirement

Group IV is a three phase auto transformer pre-wired to your voltage requirements with each auto transformer clearly marked

Group V is a panel booster for installation in the power control room to increase the line voltage from 208V to 235V to provide the right voltage for multiple beds.

These transformers are specifically designed to meet the voltage transformation needs of any size tanning salon, or home use. Most tanning beds require either 220V or 235V to operate properly. North American line voltages are usually 208V or 240V. So you might think this creates a bit of a problem. Not so, the industry has designed a solution.

The solution is very economical and quite simple actually. It works for both single and three phase beds. Units are rated in amperes rather than volts, to simplify the selection for either single phase or three phase beds.

When determining what transformer you need, there is no need to do any big complicated calculations, or be a mathematical genius. Simply determine the ampere rating of the bed. Then select the voltage adjustment required from the closest listing in the group. Every manufacture provides a cross reference chart.

The transformer that came with your bed will meet all safety regulations. If you need to replace the transformer it is always best to hire a qualified person to uninstall the old one and reinstall the new one. This will ensure your tanning bed continues to operate safely.
