Eaton F10018 Type AP industrial control transformer - UL Recognized
Part Number: F10018
Quick Summary
Eaton Type AP industrial control transformer delivers reliable low-voltage control power for 480V systems in industrial control panels. Engineers often battle voltage drift and mis-timed taps that trigger nuisance trips and shorten component life. CSA and UL Recognized certifications, plus a resin-encapsulated, 60 Hz design with a 1800C insulation system, support reliable operation in harsh environments. Coupled with multi-tap voltage compensation and robust construction, this transformer helps reduce downtime, improve control accuracy, and lower lifecycle costs. Designed for screw-terminal boards and field service, it supports straightforward installation and long service intervals. Its 10 kVA rating accommodates medium-sized control circuits with headroom.

With a 10 kVA rating, the F10018 provides ample control power for medium-sized automation panels and machine tenders, reducing the need for oversized redundant transformers. This means fewer components in the power chain, lower cabinet heat, and reduced wiring complexity in installations. In practice, technicians deploy it in 480 V to 277 V control circuits where stable secondary voltage is critical for relays, timers, and PLC input modules. Tap versatility is a key feature, offering four secondary tap options with plus or minus 2.5 percent to compensate for voltage drift on 480 V feeders. This capability translates into tighter voltage regulation at the point of use, improving coil performance and extending device life. In the field, technicians tune taps during commissioning to maintain 277 V across lighting feeders or control circuits despite supply fluctuations. Durable construction and safe wiring are enabled by copper magnet wire, an electrical shield, and resin encapsulation, all housed in frame 258 and a 12 inch high by 10.75 inch wide footprint. The resin encapsulation plus 60 Hz operation are designed for reliable service in cabinets and industrial environments, reducing moisture and dust ingress. Screw-type terminal boards accelerate installation and simplify field maintenance, lowering labor costs during upgrades. Compliance and documentation support procurement and quality management, with CSA compliance and UL Recognized certification noted on the label and in the specification sheet. The combination of robust ratings, proven certification, and Eaton engineering heritage delivers predictable ROI by minimizing downtime and maximizing control reliability in automation projects.
