Choosing between these two power conversion units is less about price and more about what kind of power you're converting. If your system runs on DC and lives in a vehicle or mobile machine, the Eaton 11020CL1 is aimed squarely at that world. If you're feeding a 480V three-phase AC line and need 208V three-phase AC for industrial equipment, the XING Laser transformer is built for that job.
Quick verdict
Go with the Eaton 11020CL1 DC-DC converter if your application is DC-to-DC in a vehicle, industrial machine, or OEM assembly. It costs USD 287.13, making it the lower-priced choice. Go with the 30kVA XING Laser step-down transformer if you need AC-to-AC conversion from 480V to 208V at up to 24kVA of resistive load. That unit costs USD 950.00.

Where the Eaton DC-DC converter wins
The Eaton 11020CL1 is the lower-price option and the only one of the pair designed for DC-to-DC conversion. Its heavy-duty aluminum heatsink and industrial-grade construction point to use in electric vehicles, mobile machinery, and OEM equipment. If your bus voltage is DC and you need a converter from a recognizable industrial component maker, this unit is the direct fit.
Where the XING Laser transformer wins
The XING Laser transformer is the only AC-to-AC solution here. It steps 480V three-phase down to 208V three-phase at 60Hz, with a stated 24kVA maximum resistive load and 18kVA maximum inductive load. Built-in ventilation helps with heat during continuous operation. If your equipment expects 208V AC and your supply is 480V AC, this is the unit that matches that conversion.
Eaton 11020CL1 DC-DC Converter Power Conversion Industrial Vehicle OEM
This Eaton unit comes from surplus OEM inventory and is listed in new other condition. The description highlights a genuine Eaton component, a heavy-duty aluminum heatsink, and industrial-grade construction, with intended use in electric vehicles, industrial equipment, mobile machinery, and OEM applications. At USD 287.13, it's the less expensive of the two. For OEM builds that already plan around the 110200CL1 part number, it offers a compact, surplus-sourced component. The clear reason to choose it is DC-to-DC conversion in a vehicle or OEM power chain. The limitation is that it won't step down AC voltage; if your load is 480V AC that needs 208V AC, this converter isn't the tool for that job.
30kVA Step Down Transformer 480V to 208V Industrial Power Converter - NEW
This XING Laser transformer is a new 3-phase autotransformer that converts 480V AC to 208V AC at 60Hz. The listing specifies a maximum resistive load of 24kVA and a maximum inductive load of 18kVA, and it includes built-in ventilation for heat dissipation during continuous operation. Physically, it's a large unit at 20.5 inches long, 17 inches wide, and 21.5 inches high, with a gross weight of about 100 kg. At USD 950.00, it's the higher-priced option, but it's the one that actually performs AC-to-AC step-down. The reason to choose it is an industrial environment where a 480V three-phase feed needs to become 208V three-phase for downstream equipment. The limitation is that it doesn't do DC-DC conversion, so it has no place in a vehicle that needs a DC bus converter.
Final choice by use case
If you're converting DC power in an electric vehicle, industrial vehicle, or OEM assembly, the Eaton 11020CL1 at USD 287.13 is the direct and lower-priced match. If you're stepping down 480V three-phase AC to 208V three-phase AC for industrial equipment, the XING Laser transformer at USD 950.00 is the unit that fits the job.
