FAQs
The N48M28F1521LS42 is a vented, cabinet-style transformer designed for standard electrical rooms. Plan for adequate ventilation around the unit and maintain clearance for service access. Its 21.13 in L, 24.88 in W, and 36.88 in H footprint fits common industrial enclosures, aiding straightforward integration with existing busways and panelboards. Ensure compatible mounting surfaces and proper seismic/structural support per local code.
This transformer is a three-phase unit rated for 15 kVA with input/output configuration of 480-208Y/120. Its K-Factor nonlinear design handles harmonic content effectively, improving power quality for sensitive loads such as PLCs, servos, and drives while maintaining voltage stability across phases.
Yes. The N48M28F1521LS42 uses K-Factor nonlinear technology (K13) to accommodate harmonic currents, reducing overheating and voltage distortion. This makes it well-suited for automation cells, robotics, and drives where nonlinear loading is common, helping meet reliability and performance targets.
The transformer is UL Listed, signaling conformity with established electrical safety standards in industrial applications. This certification supports safer installation, routine maintenance, and procurement processes, particularly in North American facilities where UL compliance is a common prerequisite.
The vented design and harmonic-tolerant K-Factor reduce thermal stress and long-term wear, lowering maintenance frequency and extending asset life. Lower downtime, improved reliability, and safer operation contribute to a favorable total cost of ownership in power distribution and automation infrastructures.
