FAQs
The transformer is single-phase, 60 Hz, with a 16 A wiring connection and a 9.89 in x 16 in x 10.38 in footprint (frame 177). Plan for indoor-outdoor placement as indicated by Weathershield specifications. The unit supports taps at +2.5% and -2.5% to accommodate input variability, simplifying field wiring and reducing voltage drop in panel assemblies.
Key data include a 5 kVA rating, copper windings, 115 °C rise specification, and 60 Hz operation. The copper windings reduce I2R losses, while the 115 °C rise indicates acceptable thermal performance under full-load conditions. Ensure adequate clearance and ventilation in the enclosure to maintain efficiency and longevity.
Yes. The 480 V to 120/240 V secondary configuration supports common control-system power needs, and the encapsulated, rugged EP design is well-suited for industrial cabinets. The 5 kVA rating aligns with typical automation panel loads, while copper windings and a robust enclosure enhance reliability in continuous operation.
