Q UL-3R Enclosures All Panel-Tran® enclosures are UL-3R listed for indoor and outdoor use.
Q Transformer Assembly Acme totally encapsulated distribution transformers are designed for general purpose indoor/outdoor
operation. Panel-Tran® can be installed in a wide variety of atmospheric and environmental conditions. A 180°C, UL
recognized insulation system is used. Panel-Tran® units are electrostatically shielded to provide transient voltage protection at
no extra cost.
Q Panel AssemblyThe power panel assembly will accommodate one-inch, 1, 2 or 3-pole, common trip, duplex secondary
branch circuit breakers and ground fault circuit breakers. Per UL and NEC requirements, the Panel-Tran® assembly comes
fully equipped with primary and secondary main circuit breakers. Branch circuit breakers should be obtained from our local
distributor once you have established your branch circuit requirements.
Q Panel-Tran® —Why? Panel-Tran® eliminates the normal tangled masses of secondary circuit feeders and gives your industrial
commercial distribution systems new flexibility. Use your high voltage bus to full advantage by putting power where the
problem is. Reduce cost — save space — keep flexible.
Q Panel-Tran® —Where? Anywhere 120, 208 or 240 volt branch circuits are required. Typically, Panel-Tran® is best applied in
situations similar to the following: Powering foreman centers, vending machine areas, factory test set- ups, office buildings,
mining applications, assembly lines, portable or temporary power sources, parking lots, small machine set-ups, light industrial
areas, warehouses, and numerous other locations. Use where your branch circuits may require future change or expansion.
Q UL Listed Panel-Tran® has been listed by Underwriters’ Laboratories for both indoor and outdoor operation under their unit
substation classification, file number E-56936. In addition, Panel-Tran® is UL listed as suitable for use as Service Entrance
Equipment.
Q Meets The NEC Panel-Tran® fully complies with Article 450-3 of the latest edition of the NEC.
Q Protection A primary main breaker protects the transformer and acts as a disconnect device. This primary main breaker has
a high interrupting capacity to handle fault conditions. A secondary main breaker, between the transformer and the panel, is
required by the N.E.C.
Q Branch Circuits Typical 1” snap-in or bolt-incircuit breakers, regular or duplex, must be field installed.They are not provided with
the Panel-Tran® unit. A secondary ground is provided within the wiring compartment for accepting your branch unit. All of the
breakers, including the primary main, secondary main, and branch circuit breakers are located in the lower section of the
Panel-Tran®. This lower section is protected by a hinged, removable front cover which can be padlocked for safety.
Q Recommended Branch Breakers We suggest using branch breakers of the same manufacture as the panel in Panel-Tran®.
Please contact the factory for the proper branch breaker recommendation.
Q Connections All Panel-Tran® connections will accept copper or aluminum conductor.
