Overview

The Hammond Power Y500PKCH3L0U is a 500 kVA, 600V class, three-phase autotransformer designed for applications requiring minor voltage adjustments within a distribution system. This unit serves as an economical alternative to isolation transformers when load isolation from the supply line is not a requirement. It can function as either a step-up or step-down transformer, offering flexibility for various industrial needs. The autotransformer features a primary voltage rating of 600Y Volts and a secondary voltage rating of 480Y Volts, with an alternate rating of 480Y Volts to 380Y Volts. Operating at a frequency of 60 Hz, it is built with a standard 130°C insulation system (80°C rise). The Y500PKCH3L0U is housed in a heavy-duty Type 3R enclosure, suitable for demanding industrial environments. Terminations are top accessible, providing separate high and low voltage lead wires. Standard side and rear conduit knock-outs are included for ease of installation. The impedance is less than 3%, ensuring efficient operation. This autotransformer is UL Listed (File: E112313) and CSA Certified (File: LR3902), meeting stringent industry standards. Its robust construction and reliable performance make it ideal for applications such as motor control, power factor correction, and general voltage regulation in industrial facilities. The inclusion of a neutral terminal further enhances its versatility for specific wiring configurations. Manufactured in the USA, the Y500PKCH3L0U embodies Hammond Power's commitment to quality and durability in power distribution solutions.
