Eaton XDT1A2 Dry-type Transformer - Hazardous Locations
Part Number: XDT1A2
Quick Summary
XDT1A2 dry-type transformer safely steps down 480 VAC to 120/240 VAC for control panels in hazardous locations. Engineers often struggle with limited space, maintenance demands, and strict regulatory compliance when deploying transformers in classified areas. The XDT1A2 meets NEC/CEC standards, with NEC Class I, Division 2 ratings and a NEMA 3R enclosure, while copper windings and resin encapsulation boost reliability. Its compact 2 kVA, single-phase design reduces footprint and installation costs, enabling tougher environments to be powered from standard plant distributions. This makes it well-suited for chemical plants, refineries, and other hazardous environments, improving panel design flexibility and overall system uptime.

Resin-encapsulated construction with copper windings delivers excellent moisture and chemical resistance, reducing maintenance needs and extending service life in harsh environments. This translates to lower downtime and more consistent performance for critical equipment in hazardous areas. The painted steel enclosure provides rugged mechanical protection and EMI shielding, safeguarding internal components from dust, vibration, and accidental contact, which translates to fewer field failures and longer system uptime in exposed installations. With a 2 kVA, single-phase configuration and a 480 VAC primary to 120/240 VAC secondary, you can power motor starters, PLCs, sensors, and instrumentation from a single, compliant transformer, simplifying panel design and reducing the need for additional converters. The resin-encapsulated design eliminates oil management concerns, supporting safer maintenance practices and easier regulatory audits. Compact dimensions—6.3 in depth, 6.4 in width, 13.4 in height—and a 51 lb weight enable straightforward installation in restricted spaces. Certifications including NEC/CEC, Class I Division 2, and NEMA 3R reinforce compliance and enable confident deployment in hazardous locations. Overall, XDT1A2 provides a reliable, low-maintenance power solution that aligns with industrial best practices for safety, compliance, and efficiency.

FAQs
The XDT1A2 is designed for Class I, Division 2 environments with a NEMA 3R enclosure, providing protection against dust, water, and nuisance splashes. When installing, ensure adequate clearance for cooling and terminal access, follow local codes, and account for the transformer’s dimensions (6.3 in D, 6.4 in W, 13.4 in H) and weight (51 lb) to determine mounting methods and support structures.
XDT1A2 is a single-phase transformer rated at 2 kVA with a primary voltage of 480 VAC and a secondary voltage of 120 VAC/240 VAC. This configuration supports control panels, PLCs, and instrumentation with a clean, isolated power source suitable for hazardous-area applications operating at 60 Hz.
Yes. The NEMA 3R enclosure, along with the resin-encapsulated winding design, provides protection in outdoor or semi-exposed environments common in hazardous locations. Always verify local climate conditions and ensure proper mounting, sealing, and drainage as part of the site-specific installation plan.
The transformer complies with NEC/CEC standards and offers NEC hazardous location rating Class I, Division 2, plus a NEMA 3R enclosure. This combination supports regulatory compliance for hazardous-area installations, enabling safer operation in chemical, oil, and gas facilities while satisfying Canadian and U.S. requirements.
Resin encapsulation eliminates liquid oil, reducing spill risk and maintenance complexity. Copper windings and a rugged painted steel housing enhance durability and efficiency, contributing to lower preventive maintenance costs and longer service life. In practice, the unit delivers higher uptime, improved safety, and a favorable total cost of ownership for hazardous-location power supplies.
