FAQs
When installing the Z48G28B09S6 in hazardous locations, ensure it is mounted in an enclosure or cabinet that maintains the Class I Division 2 rating. Verify adequate clearance for heat dissipation, secure mounting to support the 240 lb weight, and route primary and secondary leads to minimize strain. The encapsulated design helps reduce ingress, but proper sealing and cable entries remain essential for long-term reliability.
The transformer delivers 9 kVA with a three-phase configuration. Primary voltage is 480 VAC, secondary is 208Y/120 VAC. It features an 80°C rise rating, enabling dependable operation in warmer plant areas. Dimensions are approximately 10.55 in L × 20 in W × 17.34 in H, and it weighs about 240 lb, suitable for surface or cabinet mounting in industrial environments.
Yes. Its encapsulated construction and Class I Division 2 designation make it well-suited for hazardous-area control panels and MCCs in chemical and petrochemical facilities. The 9 kVA rating supports typical control load and instrumentation, while the compact footprint helps conserve panel real estate. It is designed to withstand challenging ambient conditions typical of process plants.
The Z48G28B09S6 is designed for HazLoc Class I Division 2 environments, reflecting a hazardous-location protection approach. Certifications beyond this designation are listed as ‘Contact Manufacturer’ in the catalog materials, so for formal confirmation or third-party listings, consult Eaton directly or reference the Eaton specification sheet for the most up-to-date compliance details.
The encapsulated HazLoc design minimizes moisture, dust, and chemical ingress, reducing maintenance frequency and extending service life in harsh environments. With a robust enclosure and solid-state insulation approach, you can expect lower routine outages, fewer preventive interventions, and predictable performance over the asset’s lifecycle, supporting a favorable total cost of ownership in demanding industrial settings.
