Resin encapsulation and 316 stainless steel housing deliver superior protection against moisture, dust, and corrosion, extending service life in hazardous locations and lowering maintenance intervals. This hardware robustness translates to higher uptime for critical processes in petrochemical plants, chemical processing, and outdoor installations, where enclosure integrity matters to reliability and safety. The three-phase 60 Hz design with a 480 Vac primary and 208Y/120 Vac secondary supports efficient power distribution to control systems and instrumentation, simplifying panel design and reducing wiring complexity for engineers. Copper windings provide excellent thermal performance and energy efficiency, enabling continuous operation with cooler operation and reduced energy losses, especially in high-load applications. NEC/CEC compliance, Class I Division 2 hazardous location rating, and NEMA 4X protection minimize regulatory risk and streamline procurement for inspected projects. The compact resin-encapsulated enclosure balances rugged protection with installation flexibility, making it easier to fit into confined electrical rooms and hazardous-area cabinets while maintaining fiber and cable routing clarity for maintenance teams.

FAQs
Begin by confirming NEC/CEC compliance and Class I Division 2 rating for your specific area. Verify enclosure protection with NEMA 4X, ensure proper clearances for cooling and wiring, and plan mounting in a clean, ventilated space. The resin-encapsulated design aids moisture resistance, but you should still follow standard clearance, labeling, and grounding practices to maintain safe operation.
The 480 Vac primary to 208Y/120 Vac secondary setup simplifies powering low-voltage control circuitry from a single transformer. It reduces secondary wiring complexity and allows standard 120/208 V control devices, relays, and PLC inputs to be fed directly. This configuration supports compact panel layouts, improved coordination with motor starters, and streamlined protection schemes for hazardous-area equipment.
Yes. The 316 stainless steel housing with resin encapsulation and a NEMA 4X enclosure is designed for corrosive and wet environments typical of outdoor, chemical, and oil-and-gas facilities. Its Class I, Division 2 rating further ensures compliance for hazardous locations, making it well-suited for installations exposed to chemicals, dust, and moisture without sacrificing performance.
Rely on NEC/CEC compliance, the Class I Division 2 hazardous-location rating, and the NEMA 4X enclosure designation. These certifications validate suitability for hazardous environments, ensure safe enclosure integrity, and streamline procurement against stringent safety and regulatory requirements in process industries and installations in hazardous areas.
The resin-encapsulated design with copper windings reduces moisture-related degradation and thermal cycling, translating to lower maintenance needs and longer service life. The rugged enclosure minimizes corrosion risks, lowering replacement frequency. Although upfront cost may be higher, the extended uptime and reduced maintenance translate to a favorable total cost of ownership for critical power distribution in hazardous environments.
