Feature: 1.5 kVA, 480 V primary, 120/240 V secondary, 60 Hz, single-phase. Benefit: Adequate, scalable power for automation and control circuits without oversized equipment. Application: Control panels and small process equipment that require consistent voltage conversion with efficiency. In practice, this means fewer components to manage and lower heat generation inside enclosures. Feature: NEMA 3R enclosure with indoor-outdoor suitability. Benefit: Weather-resistant performance and versatile placement in factories, warehouses, or exterior locations. Application: Outdoor timer modules, exterior feeders, and process lines where environmental exposure is a factor, reducing enclosure changes and maintenance. Feature: Tap size 2 at -5% FCBN. Benefit: Built-in voltage regulation to accommodate supply variations and maintain stable secondary voltage. Application: Sites with fluctuating mains where voltage droop could impact performance of sensors and controllers. Feature: Aluminum coil construction. Benefit: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant windings that improve service life and ease handling during installation. Application: OEM panels and retrofit scenarios where weight and durability matter for field crews. Feature: Weathershield indoor-outdoor capability with a rugged design. Benefit: Extended operating life in challenging environments with fewer replacement cycles. Application: Industrial environments, service bays, and outdoor equipment housings where reliability is critical. Feature: UL Listed and compact dimensions (6.52 in L, 6.37 in W, 13.41 in H). Benefit: Clear compliance and space-efficient panel design; easier integration with standard mounting patterns. Application: New builds and retrofits aiming for safe, standards-aligned power distribution.
