Overview

The Hammond Power FC2A0045KB is a three-phase encapsulated general-purpose transformer engineered for commercial and industrial environments where airborne contaminants, moisture, or harsh conditions are present. Rated at 45kVA with a 480V delta primary and 208Y/120V wye secondary, this transformer operates at 60Hz with a 135°C temperature rise in a 25°C ambient environment. Designed for outdoor or semi-outdoor installations, the FC2A0045KB features a NEMA 3R enclosure that protects against rain, sleet, and external ice formation, making it ideal for process controls, panel shops, machine automation, HVAC systems, power timers, solenoids, and controllers. Constructed with copper windings and a single 3-leg core, the transformer includes three coils and is convection air-cooled for reliable performance. It offers two full-capacity taps (2 @ 5% FCBN) on the primary side, factory-installed grounding lugs, and pre-installed vibration isolation pads for enhanced stability. The transformer meets UL, CSA, and NEMA standards, with a typical impedance of 3% to 6.5% for consistent operation. Standard features include outward-facing mounting holes, conduit knock-outs, floor mounting feet, and a drip shield for added protection. Wiring is simplified with separate high-voltage and low-voltage terminal boards, and the transformer supports both aluminum and copper cables. Front-accessible terminals and lugs ensure easy installation, while optional wall mounting brackets and panel mount fuse holders provide added flexibility. With a 10-year limited warranty, the FC2A0045KB delivers a cost-effective solution for commercial and light industrial applications requiring a durable, encapsulated transformer.
  • 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.
  • Cost effective solution - Aluminum windings provide an economical solution without compromising on quality and performance.
  • Two full-capacity taps (2 @ 5% FCBN) and factory-installed grounding lugs
  • Convection air-cooled, single 3-leg core design with vibration isolation pads
