FAQs
The S48D11S15SS4X is a single-phase transformer designed for control panels and power distribution cabinets. It supports standard panel mounting in NEMA 4X environments and uses 480 V primary to 120/240 V secondary wiring. For installation, verify enclosure dimensions, wiring termination abilities, and wire sizing per your panel design to ensure safe, code-compliant terminations.
A 15 kVA rating defines the transformer’s capability to handle peak and continuous loads typical of industrial control circuits. Efficiency remains high under rated load, while voltage stability is maintained across the 480-120/240 V outputs. This enables consistent operation of motors, relays, and controllers, reducing voltage drop and improving overall system performance.
Yes. The encapsulated design with a rugged, protective enclosure supports installation in harsh environments, including outdoor or washdown areas. The NEMA 4X-rated (encapsulation) construction provides resistance to moisture, dust, and corrosion, helping maintain reliability in challenging production environments.
Certifications are crucial for regulatory approval and safety. While the data shows verifying with the manufacturer, typical requirements include UL/cUL, CE, and appropriate IP/NEMA enclosure ratings. Always request current certification documents from the supplier to ensure compliance with your regional and industry standards.
Investing in a rugged encapsulated transformer reduces maintenance cycles due to lower ingress of dust and moisture and provides longer mean time between failures. The 15 kVA rating delivers reliable load handling for control panels, which translates to lower downtime, fewer spare part calls, and improved overall equipment effectiveness in automation projects.
