The ETE WV1500P8S8 control transformer converts a selected high-voltage AC supply into a lower AC voltage suitable for industrial control and auxiliary equipment. Its wide-input-voltage primary winding incorporates dedicated taps for 500, 550, 600 and 690 V AC supplies, allowing the appropriate connection to be selected for the available electrical installation.
The transformer incorporates two secondary windings, each with 110 V AC and 120 V AC taps. When connected in parallel with matching voltage taps and correct polarity, the windings provide a combined 110 V AC or 120 V AC output. Alternatively, connecting the windings in series with the correct polarity provides a nominal 220 V AC or 240 V AC output. Both connection arrangements retain the transformer's total 1500 VA rated apparent power.
With 4% voltage regulation, Class E insulation and Class H varnish impregnation, the WV1500P8S8 provides dependable performance for industrial electrical equipment. Its robust construction and IP20 touch-proof terminals support installation within appropriately designed control panels, while the specified EPN 4 enclosure offers a compatible housing option. Primary tap selection, secondary winding connections, earthing and protective devices must follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.
