Eaton XDT3B6 Dry-Type Transformer - Hazardous Area
Part Number: XDT3B6
Quick Summary
The Eaton XDT3B6 dry-type transformer provides reliable power isolation for hazardous-area equipment in demanding industrial environments. It steps 480 Vac down to 208Y/120 Vac for three-phase control and instrumentation at 60 Hz. In harsh facilities, space constraints, heat, and maintenance costs drive downtime; this resin-encapsulated design helps mitigate those risks. The unit carries NEC/CEC compliance and certifications for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations, plus a NEMA 3R enclosure for weather and impact resistance. Copper windings and a painted steel frame contribute durable electrical performance, while its compact footprint simplifies installation and reduces cabinet space and total cost of ownership.

Resin-encapsulated construction with copper windings and a painted steel housing delivers superior moisture and vibration resistance, reducing insulation faults and extending service life. This yields lower maintenance costs and less downtime in demanding environments. Ideal for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations in chemical plants, refineries, and mining operations. Three-phase operation at 60 Hz with a 6 kVA rating (primary 480 Vac, secondary 208Y/120 Vac) ensures stable supply to control panels and relays. The precise voltage transformation minimizes downstream equipment stress, improves PLC performance, and supports wider motor-control compatibility. NEMA 3R enclosure provides weather and impact resistance, enabling outdoor installations and reducing the need for additional enclosures. The compact footprint and robust build simplify site wiring, cabinet integration, and service access, delivering lower installation costs and easier retrofits. Certification to NEC/CEC standards enhances regulatory compliance and risk management for safety-critical systems.
