Eaton Crouse-Hinds XDT3C6X Dry-Type Transformer - 4X Hazardous Area
Part Number: XDT3C6X
Quick Summary
The XDT3C6X dry-type transformer delivers reliable voltage conversion for hazardous-area electrical systems in industrial plants. A common challenge engineers face is selecting a transformer that both withstands harsh environments and meets stringent NEC/CEC requirements without sacrificing reliability. This unit features a NEMA 4X enclosure and a Class I, Division 2 hazardous rating, with resin encapsulation and copper windings for added moisture and chemical resistance. Built for 60 Hz operation with a 6 kVA rating, it supports three-phase 480 Vac to 240 Vac service while remaining compact enough for rugged installations. By combining corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel, certified installation, and straightforward mounting, it reduces maintenance intervals and accelerates safe integration into safety-critical power systems.

XDT Hazardous Area Transformers
Resin-encapsulated construction provides moisture and chemical resistance, reducing corrosion risk and extending service life in harsh environments; this supports downtime reduction and predictable performance in chemical processing and outdoor installations. The 316 stainless steel housing offers robust protection against corrosion, enabling dependable operation in demanding plants with exposure to corrosive atmospheres and washdown cycles; ideal for hazardous area transformers deployed in refineries and chemical facilities. Copper windings deliver high efficiency and reliable power transfer, contributing to lower energy losses and improved voltage regulation in critical control panels and distribution boards. The 480 Vac primary to 240 Vac secondary configuration at 60 Hz and 6 kVA supports compact, three-phase step-down applications, enabling safer, centralized power conditioning in manufacturing floors and process lines. The NEMA 4X enclosure plus NEC Class I, Division 2 rating ensure compliance and simplified installation in hazardous locations, reducing risk during commissioning and ongoing maintenance. This transformer is designed for straightforward mounting with standard accessory compatibility, decreasing installation time and enabling scalable retrofits in growing facilities. Industry-specific insight shows that resin-encapsulated, copper-wound transformers like XDT3C6X reduce moisture ingress and arc flash exposure, delivering cost-effective reliability for long-term operation in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and energy-adjacent industries.

FAQs
For hazardous locations, install the XDT3C6X with a NEMA 4X enclosure and ensure compliance with NEC Class I, Division 2 requirements. Verify area classification and provide proper clearance for ventilation and heat dissipation. Use appropriate mounting hardware and consider external protection from chemical exposure and washdown cycles typical in chemical and oil & gas facilities.
The XDT3C6X provides a three-phase 480 Vac primary and 240 Vac secondary output at 60 Hz with a 6 kVA rating. Copper windings and resin encapsulation support stable voltage regulation and insulation integrity, making it suitable for mid-power distribution in harsher environments.
Yes. The transformer is designed for NEC/CEC compliance and carries a Class I, Division 2 hazardous rating with a NEMA 4X enclosure, enabling safe operation in hazardous locations and assisting with regulatory documentation and audits.
Industries like oil and gas, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and energy infrastructure benefit from the XDT3C6X because of its harsh-environment construction, resin encapsulation, copper windings, and robust enclosure. Typical applications include panel power conditioning, control circuits in hazardous area zones, and long-term off-highway or plant floor installations.
With resin encapsulation and a corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel housing, maintenance intervals are typically longer due to improved protection against moisture and contaminants. The robust enclosure and reliable copper windings reduce downtime, improve voltage stability, and contribute to a favorable total cost of ownership in demanding industrial environments.
