Overview

The Hammond Power FC2A0045KB is a three-phase encapsulated general-purpose transformer designed for commercial and industrial applications where airborne contaminants, moisture, or harsh environments are present. Rated at 45kVA, this transformer features a 480V primary (delta) and a 208Y/120V secondary (wye), operating at 60Hz with a 135°C temperature rise in a 25°C ambient environment. The transformer is housed in a NEMA 3R enclosure, providing protection against rain, sleet, and external ice formation, making it ideal for outdoor or semi-outdoor installations. Key specifications include 2 full-capacity taps (2 @ 5% FCBN), factory-installed grounding lugs, and pre-installed vibration isolation pads for enhanced stability. The transformer is constructed with copper windings and features separate high-voltage and low-voltage terminal boards for safe and easy wiring. Standard features include outward-facing mounting holes, conduit knock-outs, floor mounting feet, and a drip shield for added protection. The enclosure is ANSI 61 grey with a durable finish, and the transformer meets NEMA ST-20 sound level standards. Applications include process controls, panel shops, machine automation, HVAC systems, power timers, solenoids, and controllers. The FC2A0045KB is UL Listed (File: E112313) and CSA Certified (File: LR3902), ensuring compliance with industry safety standards. With a typical impedance of 3% to 6.5%, this transformer delivers reliable performance in demanding environments. Installation is straightforward, with front-accessible terminals and lugs suitable for both aluminum and copper cables. Optional wall mounting brackets and panel mount fuse holders are available for added flexibility. Backed by a 1-year warranty, the FC2A0045KB is 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.
  • 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.
  • 2 full-capacity taps (2 @ 5% FCBN), factory-installed grounding lugs, and vibration isolation pads
  • UL Listed (E112313) and CSA Certified (LR3902) for safety and compliance
