A buck-boost transformer is a small electrical transformer used to slightly increase (“boost”) or decrease (“buck”) incoming voltage to match what equipment actually needs. For example: If your building is supplying 208 volts but your equipment performs best at 230–240 volts , a buck-booster can raise the voltage. If voltage is too high, it can reduce it slightly to protect equipment. In dental offices , these are increasingly being recommended for: vacuum systems, air compressors, sterilization equipment, imaging equipment, and other high-load mechanical systems. Why Dental Equipment Suppliers Are Recommending Them More Often 1. Modern Dental Equipment Is More Sensitive Older compressors and vacuums were often more forgiving mechanically. Newer systems: use variable frequency drives (VFDs), electronic control boards, digital monitoring, soft-start motors, and energy-efficient motors that require tighter voltage tolerances. Even being 5–10%...
