Why Choose the ETE MV300P1S3 300 VA Control Transformer?
The ETE MV300P1S3 is a compact and reliable 300 VA single-phase control transformer designed to provide dependable low-voltage AC power for industrial control circuits, electrical panels and automation equipment. Part of the ETE MV multi-voltage control transformer series, it features selectable primary voltage connections and dual secondary windings, offering flexible voltage conversion for industrial machinery and electrical installations.
Manufactured by Eastern Transformers & Equipment (ETE), the MV300P1S3 features 10/0/220/240 V AC primary terminals and two independent 12 V AC secondary windings. These secondary windings can be connected in parallel to provide 12 V AC or in series to provide 24 V AC, making the transformer suitable for a variety of industrial control and auxiliary power applications. The 10 V primary adjustment tap provides an additional connection option, with the correct configuration to be confirmed with ETE before installation.
With a continuous apparent power rating of 300 VA, Class E insulation and 8% voltage regulation, the MV300P1S3 is engineered for dependable operation in industrial environments. Its compact 120 × 100 × 120 mm construction, IP20 touch-proof terminals and compatibility with EPH 3 or EPN 2 enclosures make it a practical choice for electrical panel builders, OEM manufacturers and industrial automation engineers.

The ETE MV300P1S3 control transformer uses electromagnetic induction to convert a higher single-phase AC supply voltage into a lower AC voltage suitable for industrial control and auxiliary equipment. Its multi-voltage primary winding incorporates connections for 220 V AC and 240 V AC supplies, helping electrical engineers select the appropriate input connection for their installation.
The transformer also includes a 10 V primary adjustment tap, identified in the terminal arrangement as 10/0/220/240 V. This adjustment connection must not be treated as an independent 10 V supply input. The correct terminal configuration and intended use of the adjustment tap should be confirmed with ETE before wiring or energising the transformer.
The MV300P1S3 incorporates two independent 12 V AC secondary windings that can be configured according to the application. Connecting the windings in parallel with matching polarity provides a nominal 12 V AC output with a calculated total rated current of 25 A. Connecting the windings in series with the correct polarity provides a nominal 24 V AC output with a calculated rated current of 12.5 A. Both arrangements retain the transformer's total 300 VA apparent power rating.
With Class E insulation, Class H varnish impregnation and IP20 touch-proof terminals, the MV300P1S3 is designed for dependable service in industrial electrical installations. Its compact construction supports straightforward integration into machinery cabinets and control panels, while the specified EPH 3 and EPN 2 enclosures provide compatible housing options. Primary tap selection, secondary winding connections, earthing and circuit protection must follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.
