Epoxy encapsulated construction protects copper windings and laminated cores from moisture, dust, and vibration, reducing core losses and extending service life in demanding environments. The rugged housing minimizes insulation cracking and oil migration, leading to fewer field failures. For OEMs and panel shops, this translates into lower maintenance costs, reduced downtime, and predictable performance across shifts in winding environments and conveyor lines. Multiple primary voltage configurations—220 x 440 V, 230 x 460 V, and 240 x 480 V—coupled with a 500 VA rating, enable seamless integration with diverse plant power distributions. This flexibility reduces the need for alternative transformers, shortens design cycles, and lowers inventory costs. In the field, technicians appreciate the straightforward compatibility when wiring control circuits to PLCs, relays, and motor starters. Secondary voltage of 120/115/110 V at 50/60 Hz provides ready-made control power for relays, contactors, and automation sensors, simplifying panel schematics. The 130°C insulation system supports higher ambient temperatures typical of crowded equipment cabinets, while molded-in terminals enhance mechanical durability and reduce terminal loosening. These features help maintain consistent control voltage even as heat and load vary. Copper windings deliver high conductivity and thermal efficiency, delivering reliable voltage conversion with minimal copper loss. Molded-in terminals protect connections against vibration and dust, easing field assembly and maintenance. The factory-mounted two-pole primary fuse block for non-rejection type fuses simplifies protective wiring, accelerates installation, and improves safety by ensuring proper fuse alignment and accessibility. RoHS compliance, UL Listed, CSA Certified, and cUL Certified marks support regulatory alignment for global and North American facilities. Epoxy encapsulation and standard leakage protection reduce trace contamination and offer enhanced safety margins in hazardous zones. For engineers, these certifications provide confidence during design reviews and enable faster procurement approvals. Designed within Eaton’s MTE family philosophy, this transformer delivers consistent performance under varying loads and ambient conditions. The compact footprint at 500 VA helps maximize cabinet space in modern control panels, while durable construction supports long service life with minimal maintenance. Together with factory accessories and available datasheets, it supports efficient project execution from specification through commissioning.
