Eaton Z48N11S15SS Hazardous location encapsulated transformer - UL Listed
Part Number: Z48N11S15SS
Quick Summary
Hazardous location encapsulated transformer solutions from Eaton provide reliable power isolation for equipment in Class I Division 2 environments. Industrial teams frequently face enclosure corrosion, sealing failures, and complex compliance paperwork when deploying transformers in hazardous areas. UL Listed status, Class I, Division 2 grouping (C and D), and a Grade 304 stainless steel enclosure (NEMA 3R) help simplify audits and extend service life. The Z48N11S15SS model pairs a 15 kVA, single-phase design with 480 V primary and 120/240 V secondary, 50/60 Hz operation, and EPZ encapsulation for added safety. These features translate into fewer field failures, easier maintenance, and faster deployment for process automation, oil and gas, and chemical facilities.

Encapsulated EPZ design with a Grade 304 stainless steel enclosure provides robust sealing against moisture, dust, and corrosion, reducing maintenance cycles and extending service life in demanding environments. Business impact: lower total cost of ownership and fewer unplanned outages in hazardous zones. Application: panel installations and outdoor cabinets in chemical and petrochemical plants where reliability is critical. Class I Division 2 compliance (Groups C and D) plus UL Listing deliver regulatory confidence for equipment in hazardous locations, simplifying audits and accelerating project approvals. Business impact: faster commissioning and safer operations. Application: control panels and power distribution near volatile processes. 15 kVA single-phase capacity with 480 V primary and 120/240 V secondary supports common industrial loads and control circuits, enabling compact, scalable installations. Business impact: reduced footprint and streamlined wiring. Application: process automation and machine control in plants with space constraints. Aluminum windings offer cost efficiency and thermal performance, contributing to lower procurement and operational costs. Business impact: improved equipment economics over lifecycle. Application: high-temperature environments typical of refineries and mining sites. Indoor-outdoor suitability (Weathershield) with a NEMA 3R enclosure allows flexible mounting, including outdoor or semi-protected locations. Business impact: broader placement options and simplified site planning. Application: outdoor equipment rooms or remote process stations. The 180H frame, 524H wiring connection, and absence of taps align with standard installation practices, reducing commissioning time. Warranty terms of one year from installation (or 18 months from shipment) provide assurance against early-life faults, supporting maintenance planning and ROI justification. Application: risk management programs and uptime-focused capital projects.
