What are Buck Boost Transformers?

What are buck boost transformers? Buckboosters help regulate a tanning bed's voltage as close to 230 volts as possible. Most indoor tanning equipment today must have 230 volts applied for optimum tanning lamptanning bed buck boost transformers output.  To help regulate your salon's "actual" 220 voltage, which can range from 208 volts to 248 volts, you can install a device nicknamed a "buck-booster" , which may buck your voltage DOWN from 248 volts, or boost your voltage UP from 208 volts, etc. 

These step-up or step-down voltage converters are critical to the proper operation of your tanning salon equipment and many manufacturers, ETS Tans and Sun Ergoline for example, void your warranty if these are not installed prior to operating a tanning bed. 

We offer for sale, new buck-boosters from $150-$350, and used buck boosters from $90 to $190, freight included.  These transformers can be wired for +/- 16 or 32 volts and sizes range from .5 KVA to 3.0 KVA.  Scroll below to buy NEW buck boost transformers.
