Integrated wall mounting brackets are included for ease of installation. The unit is encapsulated in silica sand and resin and has a 130˚C insulation with an 80˚ temperature rise.

Copper winding inside this step-down transformer are made from high-quality aluminum wire to improve performance. The core of the unit is coated to prevent moisture and is electrically balanced to minimize axial forces during short circuit events. Knockout hubs on the side and the bottom of the unit provide easy line-in and line-out wiring. Suitable applications include use for lighting systems, heating elements, air conditioners, motor applications, and more.
