Why Choose the ETE WV2000P8S8 Wide-Input-Voltage Control Transformer?
The ETE WV2000P8S8 is a high-capacity 2000 VA (2 kVA) single-phase wide-input-voltage control transformer designed for industrial machinery, electrical control panels and automation systems requiring flexible AC voltage connections. Part of the ETE WV Wide Input Voltage transformer series, it features primary terminals marked 0/500/550/600/690 V and two separate secondary windings with terminals marked 0/110/120 V + 0/110/120 V.
Manufactured by Eastern Transformers & Equipment (ETE), the WV2000P8S8 accommodates nominal 500 V, 550 V, 600 V and 690 V AC supplies through selectable primary winding taps. Its dual-secondary arrangement provides 110 V AC or 120 V AC output using parallel connections, or 220 V AC or 240 V AC output using series connections, making it suitable for a range of industrial control voltage requirements.
With a rated capacity of 2000 VA, Class E insulation and 3% voltage regulation, the WV2000P8S8 combines substantial control power capacity with adaptable electrical connections. Measuring 192 × 145 × 185 mm and weighing 18 kg, it is designed for integration into appropriately engineered industrial electrical equipment. The manufacturer's specified enclosure reference is EPN 4.

The ETE WV2000P8S8 is designed for industrial installations where higher nominal supply voltages are used. Its primary terminals are marked 0/500/550/600/690 V, providing selectable connections for four industrial supply voltages within one transformer model.
This flexibility is particularly useful for OEM machinery manufacturers, industrial panel builders and control system integrators supplying equipment for installations with different electrical distribution arrangements. The appropriate primary tap can be selected to match the nominal supply voltage, reducing the need for separate transformer models.
The primary winding uses discrete voltage taps rather than automatic input voltage selection. The correct terminals must be selected before the transformer is energised, following the manufacturer's connection instructions and applicable electrical safety requirements.
With its 2 kVA capacity, the WV2000P8S8 can supply substantial compatible control circuit loads, subject to appropriate load calculations, protective devices and installation conditions.
Flexible 110/120 V AC Parallel or 220/240 V AC Series Outputs
A major advantage of the WV2000P8S8 is its dual-secondary winding arrangement. The transformer incorporates two separate windings, each with terminals marked 0/110/120 V, allowing the secondary output to be configured for different control circuit requirements.
- 110 V AC parallel connection: Both secondary windings are connected in parallel using their corresponding 110 V taps and the correct winding polarity.
- 120 V AC parallel connection: Both secondary windings are connected in parallel using their corresponding 120 V taps and the correct winding polarity.
- 220 V AC series connection: The two 110 V winding sections are connected in series with the correct polarity to provide a nominal combined output of 220 V AC.
- 240 V AC series connection: The two 120 V winding sections are connected in series with the correct polarity to provide a nominal combined output of 240 V AC.
The 2000 VA rating applies to the complete transformer and must not be interpreted as 2000 VA available independently from each secondary winding. Parallel connections require matching voltage taps and correct winding polarity, while series connections must be arranged to produce the intended combined voltage.
All secondary connections should follow ETE's wiring instructions, including appropriate winding phasing, circuit protection and load assessment. Incorrect connections can result in excessive circulating currents, incorrect output voltage or damage to the transformer and connected equipment.
Reliable Control Power with 3% Voltage Regulation
The ETE WV2000P8S8 has a specified 3% voltage regulation, describing the change in secondary voltage between the manufacturer's defined loading conditions. This characteristic supports predictable secondary voltage performance for appropriately selected industrial control equipment.
Combined with its Class E insulation system, wide primary voltage selection and configurable secondary windings, the transformer offers a practical solution for industrial control applications requiring both voltage flexibility and substantial power capacity.
