Overview
The Eaton C0500E2B is a Type MTE industrial control transformer rated at 500 VA, engineered for reliable step-down voltage conversion in industrial control systems. This Type MTE industrial control transformer features primary voltage options of 240×480V, 230×460V, or 220×440V, with secondary voltage of 120/115/110V. It enables safe isolation of control circuits from main power and lighting systems, supporting both single-phase 50/60 Hz operation.
