Product Information
Full details
This Legrand 042856 safety transformer is designed for electrical engineers and technicians requiring a reliable voltage conversion for safety-critical applications. Its key benefit is providing a stable 24V output from primary voltages of 230V or 400V, ensuring safe operation of low-voltage equipment. A potential caveat is its specific use as a safety converter, not for general-purpose power adaptation. Key features include its 63VA apparent power rating, panel mounting type, and compliance with EC EN 61558-2-6 standards.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this transformer?
This transformer is designed to be used as a safety converter, stepping down primary voltages (230V or 400V) to a safe 24V for low-voltage applications and to protect against electric shock.
Can I use this transformer for general power conversion needs?
While it converts voltage, it is specifically intended as a safety converter. For general power conversion that does not require safety isolation, other transformer types might be more suitable.
What is the maximum power this transformer can supply?
The apparent power capacity of this transformer is 63VA (Volt-Amperes).
What safety standards does this transformer comply with?
This transformer conforms to EC EN 61558-2-6 standards for safety.
How is the transformer mounted?
The transformer features a panel mounting type, designed to be securely fixed onto an electrical panel.
What is included with the transformer?
The transformer comes with an earth/zero coupling strip for convenient and safe grounding connections.
What are the dimensions of the transformer?
The dimensions are 84mm (width) x 77mm (height) x 98mm (depth).
Troubleshooting
Transformer not providing 24V output
Verify that the primary voltage input is correctly connected (230V or 400V) and within the specified range. Check all wiring connections for looseness or incorrect placement. Ensure the load connected does not exceed the 63VA capacity.
Overheating during operation
Ensure the transformer is adequately ventilated and not overloaded. Check that the ambient temperature is within the operational limits. If the issue persists, disconnect power and inspect for internal faults or consult a qualified technician.
Visible damage to the unit
Immediately disconnect power from the transformer. Do not attempt to use a damaged unit. Contact the supplier or manufacturer for replacement or further guidance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Robust safety features ensure protection against electric shock.
- Flexible input voltage options (230V/400V).
- Stable and reliable 24V output for sensitive equipment.
- Compact design with panel mounting for easy integration.
- Conforms to relevant international safety standards.
Cons
- Primarily intended as a safety converter, limiting general use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Mounting: Securely mount the transformer onto a suitable panel using the designated mounting points. Ensure it is installed in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive heat or moisture.
- Wiring: Connect the primary voltage (230V or 400V) to the appropriate input terminals. Connect the secondary 24V output terminals to your low-voltage equipment. Ensure the earth/zero coupling strip is correctly connected to the system ground.
- Verification: Double-check all connections for security and correctness before applying power. Consult the product manual or a qualified electrician if unsure.
Compatibility:
- This transformer is compatible with electrical systems providing 230V or 400V primary voltage.
- It is designed for use with 24V secondary loads up to 63VA.
- Ensure the operating environment is suitable for electrical equipment (temperature, humidity).
Care:
- Regularly inspect the transformer for any signs of damage or overheating.
- Keep the transformer clean by dusting it with a dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or solvents.
- Ensure ventilation openings are clear of dust and debris.
