FAQs
The N48M47B3016 is designed for floor or wall installation with upright orientation, suitable for limited spaces. Ensure a level, non-conductive mounting surface, compliant clearance for ventilation, and access to the 283B wiring connection. Verify ambient temperature does not exceed the 80 °C rise rating and that the enclosure remains protected in the installation environment.
K-Factor 13 indicates nonlinear winding losses handling higher fault current and harmonic loads, improving thermal stability under varied operating conditions. DOE2016 efficiency reduces core and copper losses, lowering standby and running energy costs. Together they deliver reliable performance in continuous-duty industrial environments while keeping heat generation within the enclosure limits.
Yes. The transformer is specified for 480 V primary and 480Y/277 V secondary in a three-phase configuration, rated at 30 kVA. This makes it compatible with common plant feeders and distribution panels, enabling straightforward integration with typical manufacturing or data-center electrical architectures.
The unit is UL Listed and DOE2016 Efficient, with a NEMA 2 enclosure and an Electrostatic shield. These features support electrical safety, energy compliance, EMI control, and moisture/dust resistance, aligning with regulatory requirements for industrial facilities and serviceable maintenance zones.
Expect lower energy losses due to DOE2016 efficiency and reduced thermal wear thanks to K-Factor 13 cooling. The UL listing, NEMA 2 enclosure, and electrostatic shield reduce regulatory risk and EMI-related failures. Combined, these factors translate to lower lifecycle costs, fewer maintenance events, and faster project payback in automation-heavy plants.
