The ETE DV200P6S4 is a reliable 200 VA single-phase industrial control transformer designed to provide a 110 V AC secondary output from either a 240 V AC or 415 V AC primary supply. Manufactured by Eastern Transformers & Equipment (ETE), this transformer belongs to the established DV dual-input-voltage control transformer series, developed for industrial electrical control panels, machine building and automation systems requiring flexible input voltage selection.
The DV200P6S4 features a tapped primary winding with 0/240/415 V terminals, allowing installers to select the appropriate connection for the available supply voltage. Its 0/110 V secondary terminals provide a dedicated 110 V AC output for compatible contactors, control relays, solenoids, signalling devices and other industrial control equipment. The dual-input arrangement makes this transformer particularly useful for panel builders and OEM machinery manufacturers working with different electrical supply configurations.
With a rated apparent power of 200 VA, Class E insulation and 10% voltage regulation, the DV200P6S4 offers dependable voltage transformation in a compact industrial design. Measuring 96 × 104 × 103 mm and weighing 3.5 kg, it is suitable for integration into electrical control cabinets. Compatible enclosure references are ETE EPH 2 or EPN 1, providing additional installation flexibility where an enclosed transformer arrangement is required.

Reliable 110 V AC Control Power with Dual Primary Voltage Flexibility
The ETE DV200P6S4 provides a practical solution for industrial applications requiring a dedicated 110 V AC control supply where the available primary voltage may be either 240 V AC or 415 V AC. Its dual-input-voltage arrangement enables the correct primary connection to be selected during installation, allowing one transformer model to accommodate different electrical supply configurations.
For a 240 V AC input, the transformer uses its designated 0/240 V primary terminals. For a 415 V AC input, the designated 0/415 V primary terminals are used. Both arrangements provide a nominal 110 V AC secondary output. The primary connections are alternative voltage selections and must not be energised simultaneously from separate electrical supplies.
The 200 VA continuous apparent power rating corresponds to a calculated nominal full-load secondary current of approximately 1.82 A at 110 V AC. This capacity makes the transformer suitable for appropriately sized industrial control circuits, including compatible contactor coils, electromagnetic relays and signalling equipment. Where contactors or solenoids have significant energisation demands, their inrush VA requirements must also be considered when selecting a transformer.
The specified 10% voltage regulation describes the variation in secondary voltage between no-load and rated-load conditions. This characteristic should be considered when designing circuits with voltage-sensitive control components or loads that change during machinery operation. The ETE DV200 transformer size also has published contactor inrush selection figures of 350 VA at 95% secondary voltage and 600 VA at 90% secondary voltage, providing useful additional guidance when assessing electromagnetic control loads.
Industrial durability is supported by the transformer's Class E insulation system, Class H varnish impregnation, IP20 touch-proof terminals and protective core earth connection. The design follows EN 61558-1 and is intended for continuous control circuit operation within its specified electrical and environmental limits.
For installation within electrical control cabinets, the DV200P6S4 measures 96 × 104 × 103 mm and can be accommodated using the specified EPH 2 or EPN 1 enclosure references. Suitable primary and secondary circuit protection, conductor sizing, protective earthing and ventilation should be incorporated into the installation.
Although the transformer may be connected across two suitable phases of a three-phase system where the phase-to-phase voltage is 415 V AC, the DV200P6S4 remains a single-phase transformer. Its 0/110 V secondary winding provides a nominal 110 V AC output and should not be confused with a centre-tapped 55/0/55 V supply used in certain construction-site applications.
