Mars50VA Control TransformerNEMA Class IIMars 50327 -- 50VA HVAC Control Transformer, 120/208/240/480V to 24V

The Mars 50327 is a purpose-built HVAC control transformer that steps down high-voltage primary supply (120, 208, 240, or 480VAC) to a safe 24VAC secondary for control circuits in air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration systems. Compact foot-mount design with wire lead connections makes this a straightforward drop-in replacement for several popular OEM and aftermarket transformers.

Reliable 24V Control Power for HVAC and Refrigeration Systems

Control transformers like the Mars 50327 are the backbone of thermostat and relay control circuits in residential and commercial HVAC equipment. Rated at 50VA, this unit provides enough capacity to power standard 24V control boards, contactors, and thermostat circuits without nuisance tripping or excessive heat buildup.

With a multi-tap primary that accepts 120, 208, 240, or 480VAC input, this transformer suits a wide range of equipment voltages -- from standard residential single-phase to commercial three-phase secondary legs. Whether you are servicing a rooftop package unit, a split system air handler, or a refrigeration condensing unit, the 50327 covers common voltage configurations in a single part.

Multi-Tap Primary

Accepts 120, 208, 240, or 480VAC input -- one transformer handles multiple equipment voltage configurations without adapters.

24VAC Secondary Output

Delivers clean 24VAC to control circuits, thermostats, relays, and contactors at up to 50VA continuous capacity.

Low Heat Rise Design

NEMA Class II construction with low heat rise keeps operating temperatures in check during continuous-duty HVAC service.

Foot Mount with Wire Leads

Standard foot-mount base and wire lead connections simplify installation in existing brackets and terminal strips.

Direct Replacement Cross-Reference

The Mars 50327 is a confirmed direct replacement for the following parts. If you are pulling one of these out of a unit, the 50327 drops right in:

  • Packard PF42450
  • Packard Titan Max TF42450A
  • SUPCO SXT1650
  • IRP 5041C
  • NBK Parts 20605 (also identified by this number)
Wide Voltage Compatibility: The multi-tap 120/208/240/480V primary means you do not need to stock multiple transformer SKUs to cover different job sites or equipment vintages. Tap the correct primary lead for the supply voltage present and wire the 24V secondary into the control circuit.

Typical Applications

This transformer is used in control circuits where a low-voltage signal must switch or power relays, contactors, or thermostat boards. Common applications include:

  • Central air conditioning split systems and package units
  • Gas and electric furnace control boards
  • Commercial refrigeration condensing units
  • Heat pump control circuits
  • Rooftop HVAC units with 208/240V or 480V three-phase supply
50/60Hz Rated: The Mars 50327 is rated for both 50Hz and 60Hz systems, making it suitable for use in international equipment or anywhere grid frequency varies.

Installation Notes

The foot-mount base allows the transformer to be secured to a panel bracket or sheet metal surface using standard hardware. Wire leads connect to line-voltage terminals on the primary side and to the 24V control circuit on the secondary side. Always verify the primary tap matches the supply voltage before energizing.

Voltage Tap Selection: Connect only the wire lead corresponding to your actual supply voltage to the primary terminal. Leave unused primary leads insulated and secured. Connecting the wrong tap to line voltage will result in incorrect secondary output and may damage connected control components.
Service Tip: When replacing a failed control transformer, check the 24V secondary fuse or fuse link (if present in the circuit) and inspect the contactor coil for a short before installing the new unit. A shorted coil load is a common cause of transformer burnout and will damage a new replacement transformer if not corrected first.

Important Information
  • Always disconnect and lock out power before removing or installing this transformer.
  • Verify supply voltage at the panel before selecting the correct primary tap. Incorrect tap selection will produce wrong secondary voltage and may damage connected components.
  • This transformer provides 24VAC output -- do not connect DC-only components to the secondary without appropriate rectification.
  • Inspect the connected 24V load (coils, boards, relays) for shorts before installing a replacement transformer. A shorted load will damage the new unit.
  • Insulate and secure all unused primary tap leads to prevent contact with grounded metal or other conductors.
  • Unit weight is 0.3 lbs -- foot-mount hardware is not included; use fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface.
