Product Description
The Siemens SITAS 4AM4842-8DN00-0EA0 is a 500 VA single-phase safety isolating transformer with an 11-tap primary covering 208 V through 550 V and a 24 V secondary output. Delivering 20.8 A continuous with 2000 VA short-term capacity, it reliably powers 24 V PLC systems, sensors, actuators, and control electronics — with the added flexibility of adapting to virtually any global mains voltage through its multi-tap primary.
Key Features
- 11-tap primary (208-550 V) plus 24 V secondary — one transformer for worldwide 24 V control circuits
- 20.8 A at 24 V supplies high-current low-voltage control circuits with safe galvanic isolation
- 2000 VA short-term capacity (4× nominal) handles inrush from DC power supply charging and contactor coils
- Safety isolating transformer per EN 61558-2-6 — suitable for SELV/PELV circuits
- Low inrush current design simplifies primary-side protection coordination
- Compact EI 120/72 core: 122 × 121 × 134 mm footprint
- 50/60 Hz dual-frequency operation for global industrial power compatibility
- IP00 open-type construction for enclosed panel or cabinet mounting
