Appleton T5000 Heavy Duty Transformer 5.0 Kva

Product Description

The APPLETON T5000 is a heavy-duty 5.0 KVA dry-type transformer designed to step down 240x480 volt primary input to 120 volt secondary output. Built for demanding commercial and industrial applications, it handles continuous-duty power conversion in environments where reliable voltage transformation is critical. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians install this unit in control panels, machine tool circuits, and facility power distribution systems. The 91-pound construction reflects a robust core and coil assembly suited for fixed installation in conditioned or sheltered indoor spaces.

This transformer serves commercial and industrial facilities requiring a dedicated step-down voltage source for 120-volt control circuits, lighting circuits, or equipment loads fed from 240-volt or 480-volt branch circuits. It is a common fit for machine tool control power, HVAC equipment control wiring, and general panel-fed 120-volt distribution where a separately derived source is required by code.

Key Features

• 5.0 KVA continuous-duty capacity for sustained power conversion loads
• Dual primary voltage (240x480 volts) allows flexible connection to either voltage source
• 120-volt secondary output serves control circuits and equipment loads
• Heavy-duty construction rated for commercial and industrial service
• Compact footprint at 14.5 x 13.5 x 11.0 inches for panel or wall mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation dry-type step-down transformer for commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems requiring 240x480-volt primary to 120-volt secondary conversion.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), Article 450, which governs transformer installation requirements. De-energize and lock out all primary circuits before making any connections. The unit must be mounted securely to a structural surface capable of supporting at least 91 pounds and must be installed with required clearances per NEC and manufacturer guidelines. Verify primary tap selection matches the available supply voltage before energizing.
