Marine duty encapsulated design with copper windings and a NEMA 3R enclosure delivers exceptional durability in harsh environments. The rugged construction reduces corrosion-induced outages and lowers long-term maintenance expenses, making it ideal for offshore platforms, ships, and coastal substations where reliable power distribution is essential. Copper windings minimize resistance losses and heat, improving efficiency under heavy loads. The 80 °C rise rating guides enclosure and cooling design, while the NEMA 3R enclosure provides splash and wind-driven ingress protection for marine installations. 30 kVA three-phase power conversion provides scalable load handling with a compact footprint. The 480 V primary and 208Y/120 V secondary configuration supports critical equipment with consistent voltage profiles, reducing the need for multiple transformers on site. The three-phase design also supports paralleling with shared or separate feeders, enabling straightforward upgrades as demand grows. Voltage regulation is enabled by taps at +2.5% FCAN and -2.5% FCBN, allowing on-site fine-tuning to maintain stable secondary voltages under load variations. This reduces equipment stress and protects sensitive electronics, supporting tighter uptime targets for critical loads. The taps enable quick voltage compensation to match generator or grid variations without replacing equipment. Indoor-outdoor rating and Weathershield design provide flexible placement and consistent performance across weather conditions, reducing the need for enclosure swaps when environments change at dockyards or offshore sites. This resilience supports installations near hot boilers, salt spray, or dusty environments while meeting regulatory and reliability requirements. Dimensions of 14.66 in depth, 26.58 in width, and 28.15 in height with a 799 lb weight inform installation planning, hoisting, and ventilation requirements, helping teams minimize field surprises and ensure compliant mounting in restricted spaces. For integration with Eaton or third-party switchgear, this unit uses standard wiring connections and mounting footprints to simplify field retrofits. UL Listed certification and Eaton warranty support reliability and compliance; coupled with copper windings and solid core design, this transformer delivers predictable performance, simplified maintenance planning, and long service life under demanding duty cycles. The warranty terms provide protection against field failures during the first eighteen months after shipment or one year after installation, whichever comes first.

FAQs
The LY48M28B30CU provides a 480 V primary and 208Y/120 V secondary in a three-phase format, 60 Hz operation, and copper windings for efficiency. Its marine duty encapsulated design and NEMA 3R enclosure ensure resilience against moisture, salt spray, and washdowns, making it well-suited for vessel gensets, deck services, and shore-power connections. Voltage taps further aid compatibility with varying supply conditions on ships.
Dimensions are 14.66 in depth, 26.58 in width, 28.15 in height, with a weight of 799 lb, so plan for hoisting, vibration isolation, and adequate ventilation. The unit is built for indoor-outdoor use with a rugged enclosure, enabling flexible placement near loads while maintaining serviceability and compliance with maritime installation practices.
The LY48M28B30CU is UL Listed and features a NEMA 3R enclosure, suitable for indoor-outdoor use in harsh environments. These certifications support compliance with safety and performance standards for electrical equipment installed on ships, offshore platforms, and rugged outdoor installations.
The transformer includes two taps at +2.5% FCAN and four taps at -2.5% FCBN, allowing on-site voltage regulation to compensate for load variations and source fluctuations. This capability reduces voltage stress on connected equipment, minimizes nuisance trips, and supports stable operation of sensitive devices in dynamic power networks.
With copper windings, a robust 80 °C rise, and a marine-grade, encapsulated design, maintenance intervals are extended and energy efficiency is improved. The UL Listed rating plus Eaton’s one-year installation or eighteen-month shipment warranty provide practical risk mitigation, while durable construction supports long service life in demanding duty cycles on vessels and outdoor sites.
