15 kVA rating at 60 Hz with 120 V primary and 120 V secondary provides dependable power for marine electronics, delivering electrical isolation and predictable voltage under load. This supports control panels, lighting, and ventilation systems on ships and offshore installations, reducing nuisance trips and downtime. Copper windings improve efficiency and heat dissipation, delivering lower I2R losses and enhanced durability in harsh marine environments. In turn, this lowers maintenance costs and extends equipment life. Tap adjustments provide voltage regulation with two taps at +2.5% and four taps at -2.5%, allowing field compensation for line variations and ensuring stable operation of critical loads. NEMA 2 enclosure with WS11 weathershield protects against moisture and corrosion, enabling outdoor or damp locations such as engine rooms or deck-mounted panels. UL Listed and ABS Certified approvals streamline procurement and compliance, while the DOE 2016 Efficient designation supports energy-target programs and operating cost reductions. Finally, the unit’s dimensions—31.3 in height, 22.89 in width, 18.39 in depth—and a weight of 277 lb aid in space planning and support straightforward installation in standard electrical rooms.
