Introduction
Tripp Lite’s S3MT-30KWR480V and S3MT-60KWR480V are 480V wrap-around models
that include two transformers in one enclosure: a 480V (Delta) to 208V (Wye)
input isolation step-down transformer and a 208V (Wye) to 480V (Wye) output
auto step-up transformer.
The input isolation transformer mitigates utility line surges and spikes while
protecting the UPS. The output autotransformer is designed to support 480V
(Wye) IT loads. These models have built-in circuit breakers to prevent
dangerous circuit overloads. Four ball-bearing fans for S3MT-30KWR480V and
eight ball-bearing fans for S3MT- 60KWR480V maintain quiet operation and help
to dissipate transformer heat. An overheat-sensing relay and thermal switch,
combined with an LED light in the front panel, provide over-temperature
warning and overheating protection. The UPS system’s small footprint and quiet
acoustic profile enable installations with minimal space and noise impact. All
transformer models feature stainless steel housings with front panels similar
to the S3M-Series 208V 3-Phase UPS line.

Important Safety Warnings
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions for models S3MT-30KWR480V and
S3MT-60KWR480V that should be followed during the installation and maintenance
of the transformer and UPS.
CAUTION! Risk of electrical shock! Hazardous live parts inside this unit
are energized from the transformer even when the breaker is turned off.
WARNING! The unit is intended for installation in a controlled
environment.
CAUTION! A transformer can present a risk of electric shock and a high
short circuit current. The following precaution should be observed when
working on the transformer:
- Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
- Use tools with insulated handles.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the transformer and UPS from
the main supply before performing maintenance or service.
Servicing of the 3-phase transformer and UPS should be performed by Tripp Lite
certified personnel with knowledge of the 3-phase transformer and UPS and all
required precautions.
The transformer is extremely heavy. Caution should be taken in moving and
positioning equipment. The instructions contained within this manual are
important and should be closely followed at all times during installation and
follow-up maintenance of the 3-phase transformer and UPS.
CAUTION!
The transformer has a dangerous level of heat. If the transformer’s front-
panel red LED indicator is on, the unit’s outlets may have a dangerous level
of heat.
All servicing on this equipment must be carried out by Tripp Lite-certified
service personnel.
Before conducting any maintenance, repair, or shipment, first, ensure
everything is turned off completely and disconnected.
Special Symbols – The following symbols are used on the transformer to
warn you of precautions:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK – Observe the warning that a risk of electric shock is
present.

Operation
Over-Temperature Protection
Over-Temperature Warning LED Light (Red)
The transformer includes two warning LED lights on the top portion of the
front panel: one light for the input transformer and one light for the output
transformer. The corresponding warning light will turn ON when the secondary
side of the input (T-in) or when the primary side of the output (T-out)
transformer reaches a temperature of 160°C ± 5°C, i.e. a range of 155°C to
165°C (311°F to 329°F). The warning light turns OFF when the transformer cools
to a temperature of 125°C ± 5°C, i.e. a range of 120°C to 130°C (248°F to
266°F).
Over-Temperature Protection Relay and Thermal Switch
The transformers include an over-temperature protection relay and thermal
switch on the secondary sides of the input (T-in) and on the primary side of
the output (T-out) transformer to protect the transformer from overheating.
- Input Transformers (T-in): If the secondary side of the (T-in) input transformer reaches temperatures of 160°C ± 5°C, i.e. a range of 155°C to 165°C (311°F to 329°F), and over-temperature protection relay and the thermal switch will activate and will open the breaker on the secondary side of the transformer. Once the transformer temperature has cooled down to 125°C ± 5°C, i.e. a range of 120°C to 130°C (248°F to 266°F) the warning LED light will turn OFF, and you may manually Reactivate (close) the output breaker on the transformer to restart normal operation.
- Output Transformers (T-out): If the primary side of the (T-out) output transformer reaches temperatures of 160°C ± 5°C, i.e. a range of 155°C to 165°C (311°F to 329°F), and over-temperature protection relay and the thermal switch will activate and will open the breaker on the primary side of the transformer. Once the transformer temperature has cooled down to 125°C ± 5°C, i.e. a range of 120°C to 130°C (248°F to 266°F), the warning LED light will turn OFF, and you may manually re-activate (close) the input breaker on the transformer to restart normal operation.
