General Purpose Ventilated Transformers 19.1-2
Overview Eaton's family of energy-efficient
ventilated transformers meets DOE 2016
efficiency requirements and federal energy
efficiency laws mandated by the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 and 10 CFR Part 431
(2016). Energy-efficient transformers are
especially designed to have low no-load
(core) losses; minimum efficiency
levels have been established for these
transformers when loaded at 35% of
their full load capacity. Available 600 V
distribution transformers installed in
the United States are required to meet
these energy efficiency requirements.
General purpose DOE 2016 transformers,
single-phase 15-100 kVA and three-phase
15-300 kVA, are manufactured in seismic

mounting is available up to 112.5 kVA
(1400 lb maximum weight). Coils are
wound with aluminum or copper
conductor and 220 ?C insulation materials.
The transformers are available with
temperature rise options of 150 ?C, 115 ?C
or 80 ?C, NEMA ST-20 audible sound levels,
and 60 or 50 Hz. Installation of energy-

How many AMPS is 480V? To calculate how many amps in 480 watts, divide watts by the voltage. 480 Watts to amps conversion is calculated based on current type AC/DC, current in watts, voltage type, voltage in volts, and power factor. How many amps in 480 watts? 480 watts equals 4.0000 amps with 120 volts DC. Watts to amps conversion table with 120 volts. 490 watts to amps
