Issue:
How are Transformer enclosures rated?
Product Line:
LV Transformers
Environment:
Applies to Low Voltage Transformers by SquareD/Schneider Electric
Cause:
There are various NEMA ratings for different styles of Transformer enclosures
Resolution:
Changing the material the enclosure is manufactured out of does not change the functional design of the enclosure, and hence does not change it`s NEMA rating. A NEMA 3R encapsulated Transformer made out of stainless steel still has a NEMA 3R rating. Likewise, a NEMA 2 ventilated Transformer enclosure made out of stainless steel still has a NEMA 2 rating. A NEMA 2 ventilated stainless steel enclosure can obtain a NEMA 3R rating with the addition of an optional stainless steel weathershield kit. The stainless steel weathershield kits are recognized in Square D/Schneider Electric's system by adding the ``SS`` suffix to the normal weathershield part number.
SquareD/Schneider Electric does offer NEMA 4X rated transformers as follows:
3ph through 30kVA
1ph through 25kVA
