Resin-encapsulated construction with copper windings delivers outstanding moisture resistance and electrical stability in harsh environments. This translates to lower insulation and coil failure risk, reduced maintenance cycles, and longer service life in hazardous locations. Three-phase medium-power capability at 60 Hz, 45 kVA rating, provides scalable power for industrial loads, reducing transformer count and simplifying plant design and installation. The primary 600 Vac to secondary 480Y/277 Vac configuration supports common building distributions and control circuits, enabling seamless integration with standard industrial controls and lighting while minimizing additional equipment. Class I, Division 2 hazard rating and NEC/CEC compliance paired with a NEMA 4X enclosure ensure safe operation in chemical and process environments, reducing regulatory risk and downtime. A robust enclosure and mounting compatibility support installation in both indoor electrical rooms and outdoor or washdown areas, accelerating commissioning and field retrofits while delivering reliable performance over the life of the installation.

FAQs
For hazardous-area installation, ensure ample clearance around the 28 inch depth and 27.5 inch height, secure mounting, and proper conduit entry methods. The resin-encapsulated, copper-wound design with a 316 stainless enclosure reduces moisture ingress and corrosion, lowering field maintenance and the risk of coil degradation. Follow all Eaton installation instructions and applicable lockout/tagout procedures.
The XDT3E45X provides a 45 kVA three-phase transformation from 600 Vac to 480Y/277 Vac, suitable for mid-range industrial loads and control circuits. Copper windings offer high efficiency and thermal performance, while resin encapsulation enhances reliability in harsh environments. Ensure correct connection methods, proper cooling, and adherence to Eaton’s wiring diagrams during installation.
Yes. The transformer is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations with NEC/CEC compliance, a Class I, Division 2 hazardous rating, and a NEMA 4X enclosure. These certifications support safe operation in chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and other demanding environments, while enabling compliance with relevant electrical codes and industrial standards.
Resin encapsulation protects windings from moisture, dust, and contaminants, extending insulation life and reducing corrosion-related failures. Copper windings deliver consistent electrical performance, while the rugged enclosure tolerates washdown and harsh conditions. Together, these features translate to longer service intervals, fewer unplanned outages, and lower lifecycle maintenance costs in hazardous settings.
ROI is driven by reduced downtime, lower maintenance frequency, and longer transformer life in hazardous environments. Although the upfront cost may be higher than simpler units, the XDT3E45X’s durability, regulatory compliance, and reduced risk of moisture-related faults yield lower replacement and outage expenses over the asset’s lifecycle, improving overall facility uptime and safety.
