Jaspers Transformatoren 8kVA Single Phase Transformer 480V Pri 208V Sec VES5

Jaspers Transformatoren 8kVA Single Phase Transformer 480V Pri 208V Sec VES5

This is a Jaspers Transformatoren VES5 single-phase step-down transformer rated at 8 kVA, stepping 480V AC primary down to 208V AC secondary. Built by Jaspers Transformatoren BV of Maastricht, Netherlands, and compliant with EN 61558-2-1, it features an open-frame construction with dual wound coils on a laminated steel core and a multi-position terminal block on top for flexible wiring configurations. It operates on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz supplies, making it suitable for use in either European or North American power environments.

Applications

Single-phase step-down transformers like the Jaspers VES5 are used wherever equipment designed for 208V AC must be powered from a 480V supply — a common need in North American industrial and manufacturing facilities where 480V three-phase distribution is standard but individual machines or control panels require 208V single-phase feeds. Typical applications include powering imported European machinery, CNC control panels, lighting circuits, HVAC controls, and other single-phase loads from a 480V bus. The open-frame IP00 construction is intended for installation inside a panel, enclosure, or control cabinet rather than standalone use, and the 50/60 Hz dual-frequency rating makes this unit equally usable in facilities with either power standard. Jaspers Transformatoren has manufactured industrial-grade transformers in the Netherlands for decades and their VES-series units are found in process control and machine-tool environments across Europe and North America.
