FAQs
For installation, ensure the transformer is mounted within a NEMA 3R-rated enclosure or suitable area for indoor-outdoor use. Account for the 13.41 in height, 6.52 in depth, and 6.37 in width, and plan for the 43 lb weight. Use the 2D wiring connection and position the unit to allow service clearance and easy access to the 2 at -5% FCBN taps for voltage adjustment.
The S48G11S16N is a single-phase transformer rated at 1.5 kVA with a 480 V primary and 120/240 V secondary, operating at 60 Hz. It features aluminum coil windings, an EP encapsulation, and a NEMA 3R enclosure. It also includes 2 at -5% FCBN taps to fine-tune output for compatible downstream devices.
Yes. It carries UL Listed certification, supports safe operation in indoor-outdoor environments, and is designed for reliability across industrial applications. The enclosure and construction are intended to meet common regulatory expectations, with a documented warranty and service terms to protect long-term ROI.
Commonly used in control panels, machine controllers, and automation cabinets where space is at a premium. It is well-suited for manufacturing lines and outdoor equipment enclosures that require dependable 480 V to 120/240 V conversion, 60 Hz operation, and robust weather resistance.
The encapsulated aluminum-coil design minimizes moisture intrusion and corrosion risks, reducing maintenance needs. With UL Listed safety, a 1-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment), and a manageable 43 lb weight, maintenance planning and procurement become more predictable, improving total cost of ownership for facility operators.
