Encapsulated transformer
Encapsulated design provides moisture and dust resistance, boosting reliability in harsh environments, which translates to reduced maintenance costs and shorter downtime in conveyor lines and packaging automation. The 2 kVA, single-phase configuration delivers sufficient VA for PLCs, relays, and control circuits, simplifying wiring and improving control panel efficiency. The 480-120/240 VAC secondary output enables straightforward feeding of low-voltage circuits, enabling rapid panel upgrades and safer isolation for sensitive electronics. A robust 115°C rise insulation supports hotter plant rooms without derating, enabling denser installations in compact enclosures. The catalog number S48G11P02P ensures procurement consistency, while the encapsulated form factor eases mounting and compatibility with standard enclosure accessories. Overall, installation is faster, lifecycle costs are lower, and regulatory compliance is easier to maintain across typical industrial facilities.

FAQs
For optimal performance, mount the encapsulated transformer inside a clean, dry enclosure with adequate clearance for heat dissipation and ventilation. Use proper terminal blocks, provide secure mounting, and route primary and secondary leads with rated insulation. Ensure the panel exhibits correct ingress protection and follow Eaton recommendations for wiring gauge and torque specs to prevent overheating and maintain safe isolation.
A 2 kVA rating provides ample headroom for typical PLCs, relays, and minor auxiliaries, reducing the risk of voltage drop and derating. Under light load, transformer losses are minimized, improving overall efficiency. In practice, plan loads to stay within a safe margin of the rated VA to avoid excessive heating and to maximize lifecycle performance in automation cabinets.
Yes. This single-phase transformer is designed to provide 480VAC input with a 120/240 VAC secondary, making it suitable for powering low-voltage control circuits, PLC logic, and instrumentation within automation equipment. Ensure the panel wiring follows applicable codes and that the secondary is properly fused or protected to safeguard connected devices.
Key certifications to verify include CE conformity and other regulator marks relevant to your region, along with any UL/CSA listings your facility requires. Insulation and enclosure integrity are also important; confirm the exact approvals with Eaton and ensure the product meets your facility’s IP and environmental requirements before installation.
Leverage the encapsulated design to minimize moisture-related issues in damp cabinets, reducing maintenance visits. Monitor winding temperatures and load levels to prevent derating, and ensure enclosure seals remain intact. When selecting components, choose compatible fuses and protective devices, simplify spare parts management, and document lifecycle costs to quantify ROI over the system’s operating life.
