FAQs

Plan for floor-mounted installation in a sturdy foundation with clearances per the enclosure rating. The unit uses a 480 V primary and 208Y/120 V secondary, housed in a NEMA 3R enclosure suitable for indoor or outdoor environments. Ensure adequate ventilation and access for maintenance, with compatible rails or supports for secure mounting.
The N48M28B2216QCU adheres to the DOE 2016 efficiency standards for general-purpose ventilated transformers, reducing both core and copper losses. It is UL Listed and complies with 10 CFR Part 431 Efficient requirements, providing regulatory confidence and potential energy-cost savings across continuous operation.
Yes. The N48M28B2216QCU features a NEMA 3R enclosure with Weathershield RH6 protection, designed for outdoor and semi-exposed settings while maintaining electrical integrity and long-term reliability in plant environments.
Confirm 225 kVA rating, primary voltage of 480 V, secondary voltage of 208Y/120 V, and 60 Hz operation. Check insulation class (220 °C), temperature rise (80 °C), and the tap changer settings (+2 at 2.5% FCAN, -4 at 2.5% FCBN) to ensure voltage regulation aligns with your load profile.
With copper windings and robust insulation, the transformer offers reliable long-term operation with reduced maintenance versus lesser-efficiency units. UL listing supports ongoing compliance, while straightforward installation and cooling performance help minimize downtime and optimize total cost of ownership.
