Why Choose the ETE XMS250P4S6 250 VA Class II Enclosed Safety/Isolating Transformer?
The ETE XMS250P4S6 is a 250 VA single-phase Class II enclosed safety/isolating transformer designed to provide a nominal 24 V AC secondary supply from a 240 V AC primary input. Part of the ETE XMS transformer series, it combines Class II electrical construction, an integral moulded housing and chassis mounting for industrial control panels, electrical machinery and automation equipment.
Featuring 0/240 V primary terminals and 0/24 V secondary terminals, the XMS250P4S6 provides dedicated AC voltage transformation for compatible low-voltage industrial control circuits. Its Class II construction incorporates protective insulation arrangements, while its safety/isolating transformer design provides electrical separation between the primary and secondary circuits.
The XMS250P4S6 is specified for chassis mounting only, making it suitable for installation on an appropriately supported equipment mounting surface. With Class F insulation, dimensions of 126 × 136 × 127 mm and a weight of 4.6 kg, it offers electrical panel builders, OEM machinery manufacturers and maintenance engineers a practical solution for supplying compatible 24 V AC control equipment.

Reliable Class II 24 V AC Control Power for Industrial Automation
The ETE XMS250P4S6 provides a straightforward method of transforming a nominal 240 V AC primary supply into a 24 V AC secondary supply. Its 250 VA rated capacity makes it suitable for compatible industrial control equipment where the combined apparent power demand remains within the transformer's rating. Typical loads may include AC control relays, contactor coils, signalling devices and other electrical equipment designed for 24 V AC operation.
A key feature of the XMS250P4S6 is its Class II electrical construction. Class II equipment incorporates protective insulation arrangements designed to provide protection against electric shock without relying on a protective earth connection for its protective insulation system. The transformer's safety/isolating designation provides electrical separation between primary and secondary circuits, supporting appropriately engineered low-voltage control power installations. Class II electrical construction is distinct from the transformer's Class F thermal insulation rating.
The integral moulded housing provides an enclosed transformer format, while the specified chassis-only mounting arrangement allows the unit to be installed on a suitable equipment mounting surface. Unlike smaller XMS models that may offer DIN rail installation, the XMS250P4S6 must be chassis mounted. The mounting surface and fixings should be suitable for its 4.6 kg weight and the conditions of the installation.
At its rated capacity, the calculated nominal secondary current is approximately 10.42 A at 24 V AC. This figure is derived from the 250 VA rating and nominal output voltage rather than a separately verified manufacturer current rating. The calculated ideal primary current is approximately 1.04 A at 240 V AC, excluding transformer losses and magnetising current. Suitable circuit protection, conductor sizing, ventilation and electrical clearances remain essential for dependable operation.
