Appleton HS5F5AS Transformer 5 Kva 240x480 to 120/240V

Product Description

The APPLETON HS5F5AS is a heavy-duty, single-phase dry-type transformer rated at 5 KVA with a primary voltage of 240x480 volts and a secondary voltage of 120/240 volts. Built for industrial and commercial service, it steps down primary voltage to usable 120/240-volt output for downstream loads. At 131 pounds, this is a substantial unit sized for permanent or semi-permanent installation. Licensed electricians install this transformer as part of a branch-circuit or service distribution system where voltage transformation is required between supply and load.

This transformer is suited for commercial, industrial, and heavy-duty residential applications where a reliable 240x480-volt primary source must be converted to a 120/240-volt single-phase secondary. Typical scenarios include panel feeds, equipment step-down service, and utility-side distribution in facilities where both 240-volt and 480-volt primary configurations are present. Its physical size and weight indicate suitability for fixed wall-mount or floor-mount installations in electrical rooms, mechanical spaces, or equipment enclosures.

Key Features

• 5 KVA rated capacity for steady-state single-phase load service
• Dual primary voltage configuration: 240 volts and 480 volts
• 120/240-volt secondary output for standard single-phase distribution
• Heavy-duty construction at 131 pounds for permanent fixed installation
• Compact footprint: 19 inches long x 14 inches wide x 13 inches tall

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install single-phase dry-type transformer for commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems requiring a 240x480-volt primary and 120/240-volt secondary configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 450 governing transformer installation, grounding, and overcurrent protection. Disconnect and lock out all primary power sources before making any wiring connections. Ensure the mounting surface is rated to support a minimum of 131 pounds and that adequate ventilation is maintained around the enclosure per manufacturer clearance requirements. Do not energize the transformer before verifying correct primary tap selection and confirming all secondary connections are complete and insulated.
