Residential Products

Application Description A Mini Power Center combines three individual components into one NEMA Type 3R enclosure: a main breaker, an encapsulated single-phase (Type EP) or three-phase (EPT) Dry-Type Trans-former, and a secondary distribution loadcenter with main breaker. Inter-connecting wiring is completed at the factory. Mini Power Centers are used wherever there is a 480V or 600V distribution system and loads requiring 208Y/120V, three-phase or 120/240V single-phase.

Typical installations include:

• Industrial plant assembly lines
• Plant expansions
• Test equipment
• Temporary power at construction sites
• Sewage disposal plants
• Warehouses
• Car washes
• Parking lots
• Commercial buildings

Standards and Certifications Industry Standards
All dry type distribution and control transformers are built and tested in accordance with applicable NEMA, ANSI, and IEEE Standards. All 600 volt class transformers are CSA and UL listed unless otherwise noted.

Seismic Qualified
All dry type distribution transformers are seismically tested, seismically qualified, and exceed requirements of the Uniform Building Code (UBC) and California Code Title 24.

Product Specifications

• Frequency
  Eaton standard dry type distribution transformers are designed for 60 Hertz operation. Transformers required for other frequencies must be specifically designed.
• Overload Capability
  Short-term overload is designed into transformers as required by ANSI. Dry type distribution transformers will deliver 200% nameplate load for one-half hour; 150% load for one-hour; and 125% load for four-hours without being damaged provided that a constant 50% load precedes and follows the overload. See ANSI C57.96-01.250 for additional limitations. Continuous overload capacity is not deliberately designed into a transformer because the design objective is to be within the allowed winding temperature rise with nameplate loading.
• Insulation System and Temperature Rise
  The design life of transformers having different insulation systems is the same — the lower temperature systems are designed for the same life as the higher temperature systems.
• Winding Terminations
  Eaton recommends external cables be rated 90°C (sized at 75°C ampacity) for encapsulated designs and 75°C for ventilated designs.
