Overview

The Hammond Power FC2A0006KD is a general-purpose, three-phase encapsulated transformer designed for commercial and industrial applications where airborne contaminants, dust, or moisture pose operational risks. This 6kVA unit features a 480V primary voltage and a 240/120Y secondary voltage configuration, operating at a standard 60Hz frequency. The encapsulated design provides superior protection against environmental factors, ensuring extended service life and reliable performance in challenging conditions. Key specifications include a three-phase, three-coil construction with a single 3-leg core, meeting NEMA standards for primary-side taps where applicable. The transformer is convection air-cooled, eliminating the need for forced ventilation in most installations. Its compact design facilitates straightforward mounting and connection, reducing installation time and minimizing downtime during maintenance or upgrades. Applications include commercial buildings, manufacturing facilities, data centers, and other environments requiring stable, protected power distribution. The FC2A0006KD is ideal for use in systems where non-linear loads are present, as it is designed to handle such conditions per ANSI/IEEE C57.110 standards. With a power rating of 6kVA, this transformer supports a wide range of voltage requirements, including 480V primary input and 240/120Y secondary output. Its encapsulated design eliminates the need for additional enclosures in many applications, reducing material and labor costs while maintaining high levels of protection against dust, moisture, and mechanical damage.
  • Easy installation and maintenance - Three phase units have a removable hinged door that makes it easy to access terminations during installation and maintenance. Factory installed grounding lugs save time with easy access to the ground.
  • Reliable and durable - All three phase units come with a standard 10 kV BIL rating for increased reliability and protection against critical equipment failure. Standard Type 3R enclosures and texture painted Type 4 enclosures provide excellent durability.
  • Cost effective solution - Aluminum windings provide an economical solution without compromising on quality and performance.
  • Encapsulated construction for protection against dust and moisture
  • Compact design for easy installation and reduced downtime
