Eaton Specification Sheet - N38M31T50EE
The K-Factor nonlinear design reduces harmonic distortion and circulating losses, delivering tangible efficiency gains for heavy loads and sensitive electronics alike. This translates to lower cooling requirements and cooler switchgear compartments, which in turn extend equipment life and reduce maintenance cycles in demanding manufacturing environments. The transformer’s tap capability provides targeted voltage regulation, with 2 taps at +2.5% and 4 taps at -2.5%, enabling precise compensation for voltage drop along feeders and long cable runs; the result is improved motor performance and fewer nuisance trips in production lines. UL Listed and NEMA TP-1 compliant status simplifies procurement and regulatory audits, while NEMA TP-1 efficiency notes confirm optimized energy use in power management circuits. Compatibility with standard switchgear and the 914D frame facilitate straightforward installations in existing racks or enclosures, minimizing retrofit time. The aluminum coil construction reduces copper weight and supports efficient heat dissipation, contributing to lower operating temperatures and extended insulation life. With a 50 kVA rating and 380 V to 220Y/127 V outputs, the unit supports a broad spectrum of loads, from drives to lighting to control panels. The transformer’s electrostatically shielded design enhances protection against EMI, and the WS39 weathershield option expands outdoor applicability in exposed environments. A 150 °C rise temperature class paired with a 200 °C insulation system provides a robust safety margin for continuous operation in moderate to harsh ambient conditions. Industry professionals also value the compact physical footprint—22 in depth, 39 in height, and 29 in width—alongside a manageable weight of 554 lb, which simplifies crane-lift planning and site readiness. Finally, Eaton’s 25-000 warranty policy offers a clear service expectation, supporting uptime and long-term budget planning for power distribution projects.

FAQs
N38M31T50EE ships in a 914D frame and uses an aluminum coil designed for installation inside standard switchgear enclosures. With 22 in length (depth), 39 in height, and 29 in width, it fits most control rooms and MCC bays. The unit supports 3-phase 50 kVA loads at 380 V primary and 220Y/127 V secondary, with taps for voltage regulation to accommodate feed length and load changes.
The K-Factor nonlinear design targets harmonic currents by reducing their adverse effects on the transformer and downstream equipment. This improves overall efficiency, reduces heating, and lessens magnetizing current under non-linear loads typical of drives and power electronics. The result is lower losses, cooler operation, and improved reliability for motor control centers and process equipment.
Industries with demanding loads such as manufacturing lines, metalworking, packaging, and data-center ancillary equipment benefit from stable voltage regulation and robust protection. Motor control centers, control panels, and drive-heavy applications benefit from precise taps, compact frame, and UL/NEMA TP-1 compliance which streamlines procurement and reduces project risk.
The N38M31T50EE is UL Listed and NEMA TP-1 compliant, with NEMA TP-1 efficiency noted in catalog notes. This combination supports regulator-approved procurement, simplifies safety and efficiency audits, and aligns with industry best practices for energy management. It also helps qualify for energy-rebate programs and reduces risk during installation and commissioning.
Warranty is Eaton’s 25-000 policy, offering one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever comes first. With a robust 50 kVA rating, aluminum coil construction, and electrostatic shielding, maintenance intervals are generally low and predictable. The efficiency and reliability of this transformer translate into lower energy costs, fewer unplanned outages, and a favorable total cost of ownership for power distribution projects.
