FAQs
This transformer uses a three-phase 480 V delta primary and provides a 208Y/120 V secondary. For best results, verify panel bus configurations match the 480 V delta input and choose proper primary fusing per the nameplate. Use correct neutral bonding on the 208Y/120 V secondary and observe enclosure and clearance requirements for a NEMA 2 indoor or outdoor installation. Always follow NEC guidelines and local codes.
The unit is DOE 2016 Efficient with copper windings designed to minimize losses. It specifies a 150 °C rise, aligning with its insulation rating and robust thermal management. At full load, expect reduced energy losses relative to older, non-DOE compliant designs, contributing to lower operating temperatures and better overall system efficiency in solar and distribution applications.
Yes. With solar-rated copper windings, DOE2016 efficiency, NEMA 2 enclosure, and a 15 kVA rating, the V48M28T1516PVCU is well-suited for solar PV deployments and mixed-load industrial environments. It supports stable secondary voltages for inverters and control gear, while its enclosure and taps help maintain performance under dynamic solar irradiance and load conditions.
The transformer is UL Listed and DOE2016 Efficient, with a NEMA 2 enclosure and 10 CFR Part 431 notes.
