FAQs
This transformer uses a three-phase 480 V delta input and 208Y/120 V output, intended for grounded, panel-mounted or standalone installations. The unit features a NEMA 2 enclosure with FR940 frame and WS58 weather shield, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor environments. Ensure adequate clearance for cooling, proper grounding, and compliance with local electrical codes during mounting and connection.
Yes. The V48M28T3016PVCU is DOE 2016 Efficient and UL Listed, with copper windings and insulation rated to 220°C. Compliance with DOE 2016 reduces energy losses, while UL Listing confirms safety standards. This combination supports energy efficiency targets and regulatory acceptance in commercial and industrial solar projects.
Primarily designed for solar duty and industrial power distribution, it steps 480 V delta to 208Y/120 V to feed inverters, controls, and auxiliary loads. Its rugged enclosure and temperature tolerance suit outdoor transformer banks, equipment rooms, and facilities facing environmental or regulatory demands.
The unit carries UL Listing and DOE2016 Efficient labeling, along with a NEMA 2 enclosure, FR940 frame, and WS58 weather shield. It offers precise voltage tapping (2 AT +2.5% FCAN, 4 AT -2.5% FCBN), a 150°C rise rating, and 220°C insulation, all contributing to safer, more reliable operation.
Copper windings reduce I2R losses, improving overall efficiency and lowering energy costs. The DOE2016 rating and rugged enclosure minimize maintenance and downtime, while precise tap settings stabilize downstream equipment. Together, these factors shorten payback periods and extend service life in demanding solar and utility-scale installations.
