Product Features
Technical Overview
The transformer operates with a 20 kVA power rating and a maximum line current of 100 amps, handling substantial electrical loads. Input and output connections use hardwire terminals, supporting 3-wire and 4-wire configurations for single-phase and two-phase systems.
Voltage conversion capabilities include step-down functionality, transforming higher input voltages like 208V, 230V, or 400V to lower output voltages such as 120V or 208V AC. This design helps manage inrush currents and can prevent UPS oversizing when installed upstream.
This section brings together practical product details such as Power Rating, Input Receptacle Type, Output Receptacle Type, Input Voltage, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
