Feature → Business Impact → Application: Encapsulated construction and NEMA 3R enclosure provide rugged protection against dust, moisture, and incidental rain, reducing maintenance cycles and extending service life in machine rooms and outdoor installations. This translates to lower downtime and safer operation in food processing lines, packaging equipment, or outdoor control cabinets. Feature → 480 V primary to 120 V secondary, single‑phase, 60 Hz delivers compatible low‑voltage control power from common plant feeders, simplifying wiring and reducing the need for additional transformers or step‑down gear in automation panels. Application: PLC racks, motor starters, and control circuits in manufacturing lines gain predictable regulation with minimized thermal stress and improved reliability. Feature → No taps and a defined temperature rise of 115 °C provide a robust, low‑maintenance solution with fewer field adjustments; this reduces commissioning time and keeps upkeep straightforward on aging or hard‑to‑access equipment. Application: Retrofit projects and new builds where quick deployment and consistent performance matter. Feature → UL Listed and CSA Certified, plus a NEMA 3R enclosure, offer regulatory compliance and installation confidence across North American facilities; this addresses procurement concerns about safety labeling, traceability, and field acceptance. Application: Industrial automation deployments requiring standards compliance and traceable quality. Feature → Frame 67P and compact footprint enable easier mounting in crowded panels and limited spaces; combined with a reliable 1.5 VA rating, this unit fits into control enclosures without aggressive re‑designs. Application: Panel builders seeking scalable, plug‑and‑play transformer solutions for distributed automation.

FAQs
The S48N12P16P is intended for single‑phase power conversion from 480 V to 120 V at 60 Hz, suitable for control panels, automation cabinets, and industrial equipment. Its NEMA 3R enclosure supports indoor and exposed locations, while the absence of taps simplifies wiring. This makes it a practical fit for plant floors, machine controllers, and distributed power distribution in manufacturing settings.
This Eaton transformer carries UL Listed and CSA Certified markings, indicating compliance with recognized safety and performance standards. For engineers and procurement teams, these certifications facilitate NEC/IEC compliance, labeling accuracy, and field acceptance, reducing risk during audits and ensuring reliable performance in regulated industrial environments.
Yes. With a 480 V primary to 120 V secondary, single‑phase operation, and a 60 Hz rating, it is well aligned with standard PLC power requirements and control circuits. The encapsulated design and NEMA 3R enclosure support enclosure mounting in controlled and harsher environments, while the frame 67P footprint eases panel integration and minimizes installation complexity.
The encapsulated construction reduces dust ingress and environmental exposure, lowering maintenance needs in dusty or humid settings. No taps simplify field servicing and reduce miswiring risk. Ensure periodic verification of certifications and warranty terms, and reference Eaton’s documentation for installation guidelines to maintain reliability over the long term.
Eaton provides warranty terms per policy 25-000: one year from the date of installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This coverage supports ongoing reliability in manufacturing environments and gives purchasers recourse for manufacturing defects, with access to Eaton technical support for installation guidance and after‑sales service.
