Eaton Z48G28T15CUS6 Hazardous Transformer - Class 1 Div 2
Part Number: Z48G28T15CUS6
Quick Summary
The Eaton Z48G28T15CUS6 hazardous location transformer is a three-phase power transformer that provides reliable voltage transformation for Class I Division 2 environments. In practice, plants struggle with downtime and safety concerns when equipment isn’t rated for harsh atmospheres or when wiring isn’t organized for hazardous locations. It carries UL Listed and CSA Certified approvals, and features a rugged NEMA 3R enclosure with a Grade 316 stainless steel enclosure note for corrosion resistance. This encapsulated design reduces leakage paths and simplifies compliance. For project teams, its 15 kVA capacity, copper windings, and built-in voltage taps support consistent control-system power with predictable maintenance and service life, while enabling faster installation in constrained spaces and varying supply conditions.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: Encapsulated hazard-rated design (EPTZ) provides enhanced safety margins in Class I Division 2 environments, reducing risk of arc flash and containment breaches. This translates to lower insurance costs and smoother commissioning for chemical plants and oil & gas facilities where space is at a premium. Application: Control panels and motor control centers in hazardous locations. Feature → Copper windings and 60 Hz three-phase operation deliver high efficiency and reliable load handling with minimal stray losses, supporting tighter voltage regulation and reduced heat generation. Application: Panel boards serving critical process instrumentation with demanding duty cycles. Feature → Tap size 2 at -5% FCBN allows on-site voltage optimization to compensate for downstream voltage drop, improving motor performance and reducing breaker trips. Application: Facilities with fluctuating supply or long feeder runs. Feature → NEMA 3R enclosure and Weathershield indoor-outdoor design enable indoor-outdoor installation with favorable corrosion resistance and ease of mounting, reducing enclosure-related maintenance. Application: Outdoor substations and damp locations adjacent to washdown areas. Feature → Certifications UL Listed and CSA Certified provide regulatory confidence and simplified procurement for compliance-driven projects, while Class 1 Division 2 rating confirms suitability for hazardous environments. Application: Asset upgrades in chemical processing, mining, and refineries. Feature → 15 kVA rating with 480 V primary and 208Y/120 V secondary supports scalable power distribution to control cabinets, lighting, and auxiliary systems in compact footprints. Application: New buildouts or retrofits requiring reliable step-down power in limited spaces.
