Defender E205042 5kVA 110V 16A/32A Portable Transformer

The Defender E205042 5kVA 110V 16A/32A Portable Transformer provides a reliable 110V power supply for demanding construction work and temporary site applications.

It steps down and isolates a 230V to 240V mains supply, providing 110V AC power for compatible industrial tools, site lighting, heaters and other equipment.

Two 16A sockets and one 32A socket provide a versatile selection of outlets, allowing equipment with different connection requirements to be powered from the same transformer.

The transformer delivers a maximum intermittent output of 5kVA alongside a continuous rated output of 2.8kVA, making it suitable for both heavier intermittent loads and equipment requiring a steady supply.

A working duty cycle of five minutes on and fifteen minutes off applies when the transformer is operating at its maximum intermittent rating.

Resettable thermal overload protection helps safeguard the transformer and connected equipment, while allowing the protection system to be reset without replacing a fuse.

The centre-tapped-to-earth output provides an additional level of electrical safety commonly required for professional 110V site power systems.

A tough, impact-resistant GRP enclosure protects the internal components against the knocks and regular movement associated with construction environments.

The enclosure is also non-corrosive, helping the transformer remain dependable when regularly transported or stored between jobs.

An IP44 rating provides protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashing water, supporting use in dusty and changeable site conditions.

The transformer operates from a 230V to 240V AC, 50Hz or 60Hz input and supplies 110V AC at 50Hz through its three covered output sockets.

It is supplied with a 1.8m bare-ended mains input lead and does not include an input plug, allowing the required connection to be fitted for the intended installation.

Weighing 32kg, the portable transformer combines substantial site-ready construction with the flexibility required for temporary power distribution.

Its 0.93 rated power factor, multiple socket configuration and BS EN 61558-1 compliance make it a practical power solution for professional tradesmen working with 110V equipment.
