Epoxy encapsulation and silicon steel laminations reduce core losses and temperature rise, boosting efficiency and reliability in demanding panels. This directly lowers cooling requirements and minimizes thermal stress on control circuits, extending service life in conveyor systems and packaging lines. In practice, technicians install it in control cabinets where compact form factor saves space and simplifies wiring. Compatibility with a 208/277 V primary and 120 V secondary supports widespread control circuits and relays. The 50 VA rating aligns with typical automation loads, reducing need for oversizing and saving weight and cost. Copper windings and molded-in terminals provide robust connections and vibration resistance, while the epoxy housing protects windings from dust and moisture for longer panel life. Certifications RoHS, UL Listed, CSA and cUL support global procurement and regulatory compliance. The unit’s 3.61 in L x 3.0 in W x 3.26 in H footprint and 2.8 lb weight make it easy to fit into compact enclosures and streamline installation.
