Copper windings deliver high efficiency and low losses, reducing energy waste and improving overall system reliability. Business impact: lower operating costs and reduced heat within control cabinets, enabling longer service intervals and easier cooling design for compact plant layouts. Application: automation panels and distributed power networks across machine cells. The 480 V primary to 120/240 V secondary configuration with a 15 kVA rating consolidates transformer needs, simplifying procurement and inventory management for panel builders and electrical contractors. Copper windings and a single-phase, 60 Hz design support precise voltage regulation in standard industrial environments, while the 2D wiring connection streamlines field wiring and field adjustments. The -5% FCBN tap size provides voltage flexibility to accommodate minor supply fluctuations, reducing the risk of undervoltage or overvoltage faults. The enclosure notes indicate Grade 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance, with an important caveat that this does not guarantee a NEMA 4X rating, guiding proper enclosure selection. Indoor-outdoor Weathershield expands installation options, improving project timing and maintenance planning by eliminating the need for multiple protective enclosures. Overall, this transformer fits well in critical power paths where reliability, space efficiency, and lifecycle cost control are paramount.

FAQs
Plan for a 480 V primary and 120/240 V secondary connection using the 2D wiring format. The unit has a 180 frame and measures 13.38 in W x 19 in H x 10.52 in D, weighing 220 lb, suitable for mounting in compact control cabinets or dedicated transformer racks. Ensure indoor-outdoor rating and enclosure placement comply with the Grade 304 stainless steel note, and verify the -5% FCBN tap is set to match nominal input voltage to reduce voltage drop and improve regulation. Mounting hardware should support the enclosure and consider service clearance for maintenance and wiring accessibility.
Key specs include a 15 kVA VA rating, single-phase configuration, 60 Hz frequency, 480 V primary, and 120/240 V secondary. Copper windings provide high efficiency, with a 115 °C rise temperature rating. The transformer uses a 2D wiring connection and features a -5% FCBN tap for voltage adjustment. This combination supports stable voltage delivery to control circuits while maintaining compact form factor and predictable thermal performance.
Yes, the product is specified for indoor-outdoor use with Weathershield indicated as Indoor-Outdoor. The enclosure is Grade 304 stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance, though Eaton notes that this does not imply a guaranteed NEMA 4X rating. For outdoor deployments, assess ambient conditions, rain exposure, and required enclosure protections; where higher IP/NEMA ratings are needed, discuss with Eaton to confirm enclosure integrity and additional protective measures.
Certifications are listed as ‘Contact Manufacturer,’ so confirm current compliance status with Eaton prior to purchase or deployment. The warranty is Eaton’s standard policy: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This provides a clear fallback for initial field performance and helps justify lifecycle budgeting for maintenance and replacement planning.
The transformer consolidates 480 V to 120/240 V outputs at 15 kVA in a single, rugged package, reducing parts count and inventory complexity. Its copper windings and 60 Hz single-phase design improve efficiency and voltage regulation in control panels, lowering energy waste and downtime. The compact 180 frame and indoor-outdoor capability streamline installation in space-constrained facilities, supporting faster project timelines and better total cost of ownership.
