Encapsulated EP construction with an aluminum coil delivers superior heat management and corrosion resistance. This translates to longer service life in harsh factories and reduced maintenance cycles, lowering lifecycle costs. Ideal for control panels and motor starter assemblies in environments where dust, moisture, or vibration is common. Weather-resilient NEMA 3R enclosure with a compact 6.52 in L × 6.37 in W × 13.41 in H footprint reduces cabinet footprint and simplifies mounting. The rugged housing keeps moisture and contaminants at bay while maintaining consistent performance. This addresses installation challenges in outdoor enclosures and crowded panel spaces. 2 kVA rating with 480 V primary and 120 V secondary delivers stable control power for PLCs, relays, and sensing circuits. The 60 Hz single-phase design aligns with common North American equipment, reducing integration risk. This configuration supports reliable operation across conveyor systems and automated lines. 115 °C rise rating informs thermal performance under full load, helping specify a safe operating margin. UL Listed certification confirms adherence to electrical safety standards, streamlining procurement and audit processes. Together, these factors minimize project delays and ensure consistent performance in production environments. Weight of 49 lb and a 68-frame design provide confidence in handling during installation and replacement. The wiring connection 511C and standard dimensioning support straightforward wiring and field serviceability. This helps maintainers conduct quick swaps with minimal downtime. Warranty coverage includes a one-year limited warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment, reducing risk for system upgrades and new line deployments.
