Product Description
The SITAS 4AM3242-8JN00-0EA0 is the 24V-secondary version of the wide-range multi-tap SITAS transformer, sharing the same three-position primary: 400V, 385V, and 245V. With a 24V 2.63A secondary, it serves control panels where the control system (PLC, safety relay, HMI) runs on 24VDC derived from the transformer secondary — the most common architecture in modern automation — while retaining the dual-supply flexibility of the 8J primary tap arrangement.
Dual-Supply Panel Design
The 245V tap connects to a standard European 230V single-phase supply (the 15V margin accommodates typical grid overvoltage). The 400V tap connects phase-to-phase on a 400V three-phase feeder. The 385V tap splits the difference for installations where the measured voltage falls between the two standard values. A panel designed around this transformer can be deployed without modification in facilities with either supply type — the commissioning engineer selects the correct tap based on a voltage measurement at the panel incoming terminals, tightens one screw terminal, and the transformer delivers 24V at 2.63A to the control circuit.
Standard 63VA SITAS Specification
All other parameters match the SITAS 63VA family: EI 84/28 core, 86×98×90mm, 85% efficiency, 190VA S6 short-time rating, 8.4% uk, II0 vector group, 50/60Hz, safety isolating per EN 61558-2-2 and EN 61558-2-6, CE/UL/CSA/cRUus certifications, thermal class B (40°C ambient max), IP00 for in-cabinet mounting, screw and tab terminals. The mechanical and thermal footprint is identical to every other 63VA model in the 4AM series.
