FAQs
When mounting the C0500E2A in a control panel, consider its compact dimensions (6.11 in L x 5.14 in H x 5.25 in W) and molded-in terminals which simplify wiring and reduce vibration-induced wear. Ensure adequate ventilation for 55°C ambient tolerance and secure mounting to minimize movement. The transformer supports various primary voltages, allowing flexible integration with diverse panel power rails and minimizing the need for multiple parts.
Key specs include a 500 VA rating with primary voltages of 220x440 V, 230x460 V, and 240x480 V, and a secondary of 120/115/110 V. It operates at 50/60 Hz, has a 55°C temperature rating, and uses copper windings with an epoxy-encapsulated core designed for durability and efficiency in industrial environments.
Yes. The C0500E2A is UL Listed, cUL Certified, and CSA Certified, with RoHS compliance. These certifications help meet regulatory requirements in regulated industries such as food and beverage, life sciences, and metal fabrication, while the RoHS compliance supports environmental and sustainability standards.
The transformer carries UL Listed, cUL Certified, and CSA Certified marks and RoHS compliance. It also features a 130°C insulation system, epoxy encapsulation, and molded-in terminals, all of which contribute to safer installation, better reliability under heat, and regulatory alignment across global markets.
The epoxy-encapsulated construction and molded-in terminals reduce field maintenance by improving durability and resistance to dust, moisture, and vibration. The copper windings and efficient core design lower energy losses, potentially reducing operating costs. A 1-year warranty from installation (or 18 months from shipment) provides added protection against early-life failures, supporting a favorable total cost of ownership.
