Feature → Business Impact → Application: Copper windings reduce I2R losses, boosting efficiency and lowering operating costs in continuous-duty cabinets. Result: measurable energy savings and cooler transformer operation in hot plants. Application: Control panels with mixed loads benefit from consistent output under fluctuating current, improving equipment life. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 5 kVA VA rating supports scalable panel loads, enabling future expansion without new transformers. Application: Industrial enclosures in confined spaces gain from the compact 9.89 in depth and 10.38 in width; install with confidence in tight MCCs and switchgear rooms. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Tap changes at ±2.5% FCAN/FCBN maintain voltage accuracy during input variations, reducing nuisance trips and premature equipment wear. Application: Any facility with variable mains voltage and sensitive electronics benefits from tighter regulation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Weathershield indoor-outdoor capability and a Grade 316 enclosure note enhance corrosion resistance, lowering maintenance cycles in challenging environments. Application: Outdoor-rated installations or damp locations require rugged enclosure performance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 16 A wiring and 177 frame support straightforward mounting and field wiring, simplifying install and reducing labor costs. Application: New builds and retrofit projects aiming for fast deployment and reliable power transfer.

FAQs
Plan for the 124 lb unit with dimensions of 9.89 in depth, 10.38 in width, and 16 in height. Ensure a solid base or appropriate mounting for the 177 frame and 16 A wiring. Provide adequate ventilation and comply with indoor-outdoor placement guidance from the catalog notes. Follow 480 V to 120/240 V secondary connections and 60 Hz operation for proper performance.
The transformer provides 480 V primary and 120/240 V secondary at 60 Hz, single-phase, with a 5 kVA VA rating. It uses copper windings and offers a ±2.5% tap range (FCAN/FCBN) to accommodate voltage variations. Designed for indoor-outdoor service with 16 A wiring, it suits typical control panel applications requiring stable voltage under load changes.
Yes, the model is specified for indoor-outdoor use, with weathershield capability and a Grade 316 enclosure noted in the catalog. However, the catalog notes clarify that enclosure grade does not automatically imply NEMA 4X rating; confirm site-specific enclosure and corrosion requirements with Eaton and align with local codes.
This model ships with a certified test report for the specific serial number. Certification details (CE, IP, SIL) should be verified with Eaton to ensure current approvals for your region and application. The catalog also notes a Grade 316 enclosure option and US UPC information for reference during procurement.
The product carries Eaton’s warranty of one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Maintenance benefits come from copper windings and robust enclosure, which reduce unexpected failures and downtime. For ROI, plan around the 5 kVA rating to support growing loads without frequent replacements, while tracking serial-number-specific test reports for compliance.
