Application Examples
- Step-down from 480V distribution to 208Y/120V lighting and receptacle panels
- Offices, schools, retail, and light-industrial spaces prioritizing quiet, efficient operation
- Facilities with mixed 208V and 120V loads served from a single transformer
- Projects needing fine voltage correction via ±2.5% taps
Installation Tips
- Mount upright only with clear ventilation; follow NEC and local codes.
- Set the primary tap position to match measured feeder voltage before energizing.
- Bond and ground per code; land neutrals correctly for 120V branch circuits.
- Use indoors (NEMA 2); specify optional WS61 weathershield only if conditions require added protection.
