Eaton XDT3D6 Dry-Type Transformer - Class I, Division 2

XDT3D6's resin-encapsulated design protects copper windings from moisture, dust, and chemical exposure, reducing insulation breakdown and unplanned downtime in harsh environments. The robust construction translates into longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs for hazardous-area applications such as chemical processing or oil and gas facilities. In practice, this translates to safer, more reliable power for critical plant controls and instrumentation. With a 6 kVA rating, three-phase configuration, and a 600 Vac primary stepping down to 208Y/120 Vac, the unit delivers stable, clean power to control panels, motor starters, and instrumentation. The 60 Hz rating ensures compatibility with standard industrial equipment, minimizing the need for field rewiring or adapters. The compact footprint supports installation in crowded electrical rooms or on equipment skid layouts. The resin-encapsulation minimizes moisture migration and flashover risk, even in outdoor or damp spaces. This combination is particularly valuable for routine inspections where downtime is costly and response times matter in hazardous environments. Copper windings offer low resistance and high efficiency, helping reduce I2R losses and energy costs over the transformer’s life. The modular footprint supports easy alignment with existing busways and mounting patterns. Copper windings also contribute to improved short-circuit withstand ratings when properly installed. An enclosure rated NEMA 3R provides weather, corrosion, and dust protection, while NEC/CEC compliance and Class I, Division 2 hazardous-location rating streamline regulatory approval. The transformer’s three-phase design simplifies interconnecting with switchgear, MCCs, and PLC power sourcing. In installation, standard mounting patterns and connector interfaces support quick integration with existing electrical infrastructure. The rugged housing and ventilation design help maintain safe operating temperatures in dense equipment racks. From a procurement perspective, the XDT3D6’s documented UL certifications and availability of design packs accelerate the specification and buy-off process. The combination of rugged construction, reliable power conversion, and a name-brand supply chain reduces risk and supports predictable maintenance budgets for industries with strict uptime targets. This supports faster project onboarding and reduces TCO through longer intervals between replacements.
