compatibility

CXL-800

The CXL-800 is of open construction and is designed 
to accommodate up to eight CXL-40T or CXL-100T 
transformers (including any mixture of the two types). It is 

not suitable for CXL-200T or CXL-400T transformers.

CXL-1600

The CXL-1600 is of more substantial construction, in the 
form of a fully sealed enclosure with top and side ventilation 
grilles. This design provides a greater degree of safety 
protection, as the transformers are fully enclosed, and is 
also more suited for the extra weight of the higher power 
transformers.
The CXL-1600 can accommodate up to four CXL-200T 
or CXL-400T transformers (including a mixture of the 
two models), or up to eight CXL-40T or CXL-100Ts 
(or a mixture of the two), as per the CXL-800. It is also 
possible to fit various other combinations; the table below 
summarises the maximum quantity of each transformer type 
that may be fitted when the two categories  
(CXL-200T/400T and CXL-40T/100T) are mixed:
