Selling Policy 25-000 - Distribution and Control Products and Services
Feature → Business Impact → Application: Encapsulation and enclosure design provides rugged protection in both indoor and outdoor installations, reducing field modifications and maintenance costs while improving safety. This translates to fewer service calls and longer equipment life in harsh environments, especially in outdoor control panels and distributed power applications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 2 kVA, 480 V primary to 277 V secondary, 60 Hz single-phase configuration delivers precise voltage transformation with minimal footprint, enabling compact panel layouts and reliable operation in automation cabinets. This supports more efficient wiring schemes and easier energy management in machine centers and production lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Aluminum coil and EP encapsulation enhance moisture resistance and vibration tolerance, boosting uptime and reducing insulation fatigue in aggressive environments. Ideal for industrial automation gear, motor control centers, and switchgear assemblies where reliability matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA 3R enclosure with indoor-outdoor capability and UL Listed safety credentials reduce regulatory risk and simplify procurement for outdoor facilities, campuses, and harsh factory floors. This is particularly valuable in facilities with outdoor transformers or weather-exposed installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wiring connection 511G and 68-frame footprint support straightforward field wiring and flexible mounting within existing panels, accelerating installation, serviceability, and future expansion. Suitable for plug-and-play replacements and scalable distribution in modern factories.

FAQs
Ensure mounting within a NEMA 3R rated enclosure and verify indoor-outdoor suitability. Use the 511G wiring connection for straightforward field wiring, and account for panel depth (6.52 in) and height (13.41 in) to maintain clearance and ventilation. Weight is 45 lb, so plan for secure mounting and accessible connections during service.
Primary voltage is 480 V with a 277 V secondary, configured as single-phase at 60 Hz. The transformer is rated for 2 kVA, with a 115 °C rise, enabling reliable loading in typical industrial power distribution and automation panels.
Yes. The enclosure is NEMA 3R rated and designed for indoor-outdoor use, and the unit features Weathershield compatibility to withstand environmental exposure in outdoor or mixed environments without added enclosure accessories.
The transformer is UL Listed, ensuring compliance with safety standards. Warranty is Eaton’s Selling Policy 25-000: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first, providing protection against manufacturing defects.
Its compact 2 kVA form factor, rugged construction (aluminum coil, EP encapsulation), and reliable UL-listed safety reduce downtime and maintenance. The 68 frame and 6.37 by 6.52 by 13.41 inch dimensions optimize panel space, lowering installation labor and improving long-term energy management in production lines.
