FAQs
Plan for a single‑phase enclosure that matches the 684X frame and NEMA 4X protection. Ensure adequate clearance for the 1.5 kVA transformer and secure mounting in a still air location to prevent heat buildup. Use proper CT/secondary wiring practices and verify the 2 at -5% FCBN tap settings during commissioning.
Yes. The S48G11B16SS4X is designed for a 480 V primary and a 120/240 V secondary, operating at 60 Hz. This classic configuration suits many control panels, machine rooms, and distributed power applications, reducing the need for additional voltage conversion stages.
The transformer features a NEMA 4X indoor-outdoor enclosure, which provides robust environmental protection. For formal certifications, consult Eaton directly; catalog notes indicate general specifications and protective enclosures, with detailed certifications often listed by the manufacturer upon request.
Encapsulation and an aluminum coil structure yield durable performance with reduced corrosion risk, lowering maintenance expenses over time. The 1.5 kVA rating is sufficient for typical control panels and small power loads, enabling longer service intervals and predictable thermal performance in rugged environments.
