Eaton S48G11S15LS45 Encapsulated Transformer - 115C Rise
Part Number: S48G11S15LS45
Quick Summary
The Eaton S48G11S15LS45 encapsulated transformer is designed for reliable power isolation in industrial controls and distribution panels. In demanding environments, engineers face heat, vibration, and crowded electrical rooms that threaten uptime. This encapsulated design helps manage thermal loads and improves resilience against dust and moisture, reducing nuisance outages. Certification expectations for transformers in many facilities include IP enclosure ratings, CE marking, and SIL safety considerations, though exact approvals should be confirmed with Eaton. The device supports a general-purpose role in automation and control applications, delivering stable 15 kVA power from 480 to 120/240 V while simplifying installation and maintenance across panel installations.

Encapsulated transformer
Encapsulated construction shields windings from dust, moisture, and vibration, boosting reliability in harsh plant environments. This reduces maintenance intervals and minimizes unplanned outages on critical automation lines. It’s particularly valuable in compact control panels where enclosure integrity matters for uptime. The 1-phase 480-120/240 V rating simplifies integration with common facility power, enabling quick feed-through to panel boards and control circuits with predictable voltage performance. The compact footprint saves panel space, reduces enclosure size, and eases retrofits in existing cabinets, lowering installation time and cost. At a 115C rise, the transformer maintains performance under elevated ambient temperatures typical of crowded electrical rooms, extending service life and reducing cooling requirements. Compatibility with Eaton distribution schemes supports safer wiring practices and faster commissioning, addressing common objections about mix-and-match components in legacy systems. encapsulation further reduces corrosion risks in dusty or humid environments, delivering long-term reliability and lower total cost of ownership for automation projects.

FAQs
Begin by verifying enclosure space and thermal management, then mount the transformer inside a compliant panel with clean, secure terminations for the 480 V input and 120/240 V outputs. Use appropriately rated lugs or connectors, ensure proper strain relief, and follow Eaton mounting guidelines to minimize vibration transfer. Confirm ambient temperature ranges and clearances per the installation sheet to maintain the 115C rise specification.
The unit is a general-purpose encapsulated transformer rated at 15 kVA, single-phase, with a primary of 480 V and secondary of 120/240 V. It is designed for rugged industrial environments and features an elevated temperature rise rating of 115C, which supports reliable operation under higher ambient conditions.
Yes. Its encapsulated construction and 15 kVA rating make it well-suited for general power isolation in industrial automation panels, machine control circuits, and control rooms. It integrates with standard Eaton distribution schemes, providing stable voltages while simplifying wiring and maintenance in busy facilities.
Certification details for this model are labeled as 'Contact Manufacturer' in the spec sheet. For regulatory compliance, confirm CE marking, IP ratings, and SIL considerations directly with Eaton or an authorized distributor before deployment in regulated environments. They can provide updated certificates and test reports relevant to your region and application.
Encapsulation protects windings from dust, moisture, and vibration, reducing insulation wear and the likelihood of premature failures. This translates to longer mean time between failures (MTBF), lower preventive maintenance needs, and reduced operational interruptions in automated lines. The sealed design also minimizes ingress-related maintenance in harsh environments, supporting lower total cost of ownership over the product life cycle.
