Multitap Transformer
Product Code : LSK-PL-10278
Multitap Transformer (SKU LSK-PL-10278) is a low-voltage AC supply for circuits that need a high current, with outputs tapped at 0, 2, 3, 8 and 12 V. Teachers use it to power heaters, lamps and coils in school and college physics labs. This transformer is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and sold directly to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The transformer is housed in a robust metal case with a durable powder-coated finish. Each of its five tappings, 0, 2, 3, 8 and 12 V AC, has its own 4 mm socket, and the output is rated at 6 A continuously or 8 A for up to one hour.

Applications and Experiments for the Multitap Transformer
The transformer gives students a fixed, low AC voltage with enough current for heating and electromagnetism work, without tying up a bench power supply. Typical uses are running low-voltage immersion heaters, lamps and coils in electricity, heat and magnetism practicals in secondary schools and college physics labs.
- Class 10 physics: heating effect of electric current.
- Specific heat capacity work with a 12 V immersion heater.
- Electromagnet and coil demonstrations drawing several amperes.
- Powering 12 V lamps and ray boxes for optics.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each Multitap Transformer is supplied as a single unit in its powder-coated metal case, with 4 mm output sockets fitted for the 0, 2, 3, 8 and 12 V tappings. Connecting leads and the equipment it will power are quoted separately if you need them.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for a quotation for one transformer or for enough to put one on every bench; each quotation lists the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you specify. Immersion heaters, lamps and connecting leads can be added to the same enquiry.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter able to ship to buyers in Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Philippines. Send your list through the contact page or the enquiry cart; tender buyers will find the process on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What output voltages does it give?
It gives low-voltage AC outputs tapped at 0, 2, 3, 8 and 12 V, each on its own 4 mm socket. Choose the tapping that suits the heater, lamp or coil connected to it.
How much current can it deliver?
The rated output is 6 A continuously, or up to 8 A for up to one hour, which suits circuits that need a high current at low voltage, such as heaters and coils.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
The transformer is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies itself, in its factory in Saha, Ambala, India. Buyers deal with the maker directly, so quotation, packing and dispatch are handled by one company.
Can it be quoted for a school lab tender?
Yes. Send the quantity, delivery address and tender specification, and it will be quoted item by item alongside any other school physics lab equipment in India that the tender lists.
Related Electricity and Heat Equipment
A low-voltage, high-current supply works together with the equipment it powers and the meters that measure its output. The four items below belong to the same electricity, heat and light practicals, so they can be listed with the transformer on one quotation.
- Immersion Heater — 50 W, 12 V heater for calorimeter blocks.
- Joulemeter, Low Voltage — measures energy or power in AC or DC circuits.
- Calorimeter Heating Block — 1 kg metal block drilled for a heater and thermometer.
- Raybox with Accessories — 12 V ray box for reflection and refraction.
