15 kVA single-phase design with a 240/480 V primary and 120/240 V secondary delivers reliable step-down power for control panels and equipment racks. This standardized rating simplifies procurement, reduces panel diversity, and streamlines wiring diagrams. The compact enclosure fits tight spaces in machine centers, automation closets, and process cabinets, supporting consistent performance across a wide range of industrial applications while meeting common electrical codes. EP encapsulation provides robust insulation and enhanced short-circuit isolation, improving uptime in vibration-rich environments. The encapsulated construction minimizes oil handling and leak risks, lowering maintenance and environmental concerns. This configuration is especially advantageous in indoor-outdoor installations, where spills, dust, or moisture can challenge transformer reliability, yet the product remains protected by a rugged NEMA 4X skin and corrosion-resistant materials. Aluminum windings keep weight manageable without sacrificing electrical performance, aiding installation and service logistics. Lighter weight reduces handling costs and enables simpler mounting in tight electrical rooms. Combined with a 304 stainless steel enclosure, the transformer resists rust and contamination in wash-down zones, outdoor walls, or damp environments—opening opportunities for food, beverage, or chemical processing facilities where environmental exposure is a concern. Operating at 60 Hz with a 115°C rise, the unit maintains thermal performance across typical plant ambient conditions. The 15 kVA rating supports robust load handling for motors, drives, and PLC interfaces without overtaxing electrical feeders. The absence of taps simplifies voltage relationships, while the aluminum windings and sealed construction contribute to longer service intervals and fewer on-site adjustments during commissioning. UL Listed and CSA Certified with a NEMA 4X enclosure provide clear regulatory compliance and product traceability. The rugged 304 stainless steel housing guards against corrosion in harsh environments, and the documented warranty supports asset uptime. For project teams, this translates to predictable procurement, faster approvals, and lower total cost of ownership over the transformer’s lifecycle.

FAQs
The S20N11S15SS4X is designed to drop directly into standard control panels that serve 240/480 V feeders and provide 120/240 V secondary supplies. It uses a 15 kVA single‑phase design and aluminum windings for easier wiring, and its 16.88 by 17.67 by 11.93 inch footprint aligns with common rack spaces while the NEMA 3R/4X enclosure supports indoor or outdoor mounting.
Certifications are a key purchasing criterion: the transformer is UL Listed and CSA Certified, offering a regulated safety baseline for panel builds. The enclosure is rated NEMA 3R for indoor use and NEMA 4X for outdoor exposure, delivering corrosion resistance and environmental protection. These marks simplify approvals and help reduce qualification timelines on regulated projects.
Yes, outdoor installations are supported by the rugged NEMA 4X stainless‑steel enclosure and indoor-outdoor rating. The aluminum windings and encapsulated construction minimize oil handling and leakage, while the enclosure prevents moisture ingress and dust intrusion. For facility managers, this means safer outdoor transformer deployments with predictable performance even under temperature swings and wash-down environments.
Weight and footprint considerations matter for retrofit projects. The transformer weighs about 207 lb with dimensions 16.88 in wide, 17.67 in high, and 11.93 in deep, so you’ll want appropriate lifting equipment and clearances. Its compact size supports wall-mount or base-mount installations, and the unit’s 15 kVA rating aligns with typical power feeds while leaving headroom for future loads.
From a maintenance and ROI perspective, the encapsulated design minimizes oil handling and spill risk, reducing routine service calls. UL Listed and CSA Certified products streamline procurement and compliance, accelerating project timelines. The 15 kVA rating supports higher startup torque for motors and drives, improving uptime, while the rugged indoor-outdoor enclosure lowers replacement frequency in demanding environments.
