FAQs
This transformer is configured for 480Y/120V three-phase service and fits standard industrial layouts. Plan for adequate clearance around the vented enclosure, proper mounting in a stable rack or pad, and compliant conduit entry. Verify UL Listed status for regional codes and ensure enclosure ratings match environmental exposure. Confirm connector compatibility and short-circuit duty requirements with your panel builder.
The unit uses a K-Factor nonlinear design and vented construction to manage harmonic currents and heat rise associated with non-linear loads like variable frequency drives. This reduces excessive temperature rise, minimizes insulation stress, and enhances reliability. It is well-suited for manufacturing lines, CNC machinery, and other equipment that draw distorted current profiles.
This model carries UL Listed certification, signaling compliance with safety requirements for electrical installations in applicable regions. While UL is confirmed, CE marking and IP ratings depend on regional codes and installation conditions. Always verify local regulatory requirements and enclosure protection needs before deployment to avoid non-conformance penalties.
Typical applications include power distribution to control cabinets, motor control centers, and critical manufacturing lines. Its three-phase design and 480Y/120V output align with industrial protocol for plant-wide power distribution. The vented, high-capacity transformer supports reliable operation under non-linear loads common in robotics, presses, and material handling systems.
Expect improved uptime due to enhanced cooling and reduced thermal stress under heavy load. Regular inspection of ventilation paths, termination connections, and enclosure integrity is advised. The 45 kVA rating and UL Listed certification help justify ongoing maintenance as part of a predictable ROI, with decreased energy losses and extended service life in demanding environments.
