FAQs
Installers should plan for floor or wall mounting in upright orientation, ensuring adequate clearance for ventilation. The unit uses a NEMA 2 enclosure with copper windings and WS58 weather shield, and wiring follows 284B connections. Consider the 21.13 in depth, 24.88 in width, and 36.88 in height to fit the available space and service clearances.
K13 denotes a high nonlinear tolerance, reducing overheating and insulating stress when harmonics are present. This improves reliability for drives and electronic loads, lowers maintenance needs, and helps maintain voltage stability during peak harmonic events.
Yes. The transformer provides a 480 V primary with a 240 V delta secondary and 120 V midtap, plus a lighting tap option, enabling voltage tailoring for lighting circuits. The copper windings and 150 °C rise rating support consistent performance under typical industrial lighting loads.
The unit is UL Listed, complies with DOE 2016 Efficient standards, and references 10 CFR Part 431 Efficient guidelines. These certifications support regulatory compliance, energy efficiency goals, and safety requirements for industrial installations.
With DOE 2016 efficiency and a robust NEMA 2 enclosure, the N48M22T3016CU offers reduced energy waste and longer service life under normal operating conditions. Copper windings and electrostatic shield minimize EMI and wear, translating to lower maintenance and improved uptime, especially in facilities with nonlinear loads.
