FAQs
When installing the Z48N11S15XCU in Class 1 Division 2 zones, ensure proper clearances around the NEMA 3R enclosure for heat dissipation and inspection access. Use the 524H wiring connections as specified, verify copper windings for low resistance paths, and mount in accordance with local codes. The UL Listed rating confirms suitability for hazardous environments, while the EPZ design minimizes ignition risk during startup and operation.
The transformer is built with an encapsulated EPZ enclosure andClass 1 Division 2 rating, providing suppression of arc and ignition sources in groups C and D. Copper windings enhance electrical efficiency, while the NEMA 3R enclosure supports both indoor and outdoor installation. Together these features deliver safer power conversion for potentially explosive atmospheres and help maintain compliance with industry standards.
Yes. The Z48N11S15XCU is designed for 50-60 Hz single-phase systems, converting a 480 V primary to 120/240 V secondary. This makes it suitable for common industrial distribution networks, minimizing the need for custom transformers and reducing integration risk in facilities with mixed voltage equipment.
Key certifications include UL Listed for hazardous locations and the Class 1 Division 2 rating with Groups C and D. The product carries Eaton’s warranty policy, typically 1 year from installation or 18 months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This combination supports regulatory compliance and predictable maintenance budgeting for long-term reliability.
Expect a favorable ROI from reduced downtime, safer operation, and easier maintenance thanks to an encapsulated copper-wound design and rugged enclosure. Routine inspections should focus on enclosure integrity, wiring terminations (524H), and thermal performance. The UL Listed rating and durable NEMA 3R enclosure help minimize unplanned service events in hazardous sites, lowering total cost of ownership.
