Transformer Solutions for the United States

Buying for a U.S. site? Explore pad-mounted, dry-type, power and unit-substation transformers, with the utility requirements and installation details in view from the start.

TRANSFORMERS FOR YOUR SITE

Start with the installation.

An outdoor distribution pad, an indoor power room and a utility substation call for different equipment. Choose the arrangement first, then work through the ratings.

Dry-type transformers

Dry-type transformers

For indoor substations, buildings and plant power rooms. Explore cast-resin designs, enclosures and cooling options.

View dry-type transformers
Power transformers

Power transformers

For utility substations, renewable grid connections and large industrial loads. View the oil-immersed power range.

Pad-mounted transformers

Pad-mounted transformers

Outdoor distribution equipment with enclosed cable connections. Compare single- and three-phase arrangements.

Unit-substation transformers

Unit-substation transformers

For installations connecting the transformer to adjacent switchgear. Cable boxes, bus connections and layout matter as much as the rating.

Also available in our catalogue: oil-immersed distribution transformers and compact substations. Published ranges are not a guarantee of every rating combination or U.S. approval; the quoted design must match the project.

BEFORE YOU REQUEST A PRICE

Same kVA. Not always the same transformer.

Two quotations can look similar until you compare the connections, losses or required tests. Send the utility specification or equipment schedule with your enquiry so those differences can be addressed early.

Oil-immersed transformer with enclosed connection compartments in the workshop
Connection compartments and the physical arrangement are part of equipment selection.
Supply & load
60 Hz, kVA or MVA, primary and secondary voltages, winding connections, impedance and tap range. Include the load profile if it is available.
Connections
For pad-mounted equipment: radial or loop feed, connector type and protection. For a unit substation: incoming and outgoing connections, cable boxes and adjacent switchgear.
Site conditions
Indoor or outdoor location, temperature, altitude, sound limits and available space. For a replacement, add the outline dimensions and cable entry positions.
Approval & tests
State the required IEEE/ANSI C57 parts, editions, loss or efficiency requirements and witness tests. Any requested listing must cover the actual manufacturer, model and ratings.

A laboratory accreditation or type-test report is not a blanket product listing. Check the complete document for the offered design.

FROM QUOTATION TO SITE

A few details are easier to settle before the order.

Share your required delivery date and destination at the quotation stage. Drawings, inspection and transport all need room in the programme.

Factory testing information
What should I send for a replacement?

The old nameplate, photographs of all sides, outline dimensions and connection details. Mention any increase in load or change to the supply. This helps avoid an electrical match that will not fit the site.

Can we witness factory testing?

Include the tests, witness points and reporting you need in the enquiry. The agreed inspection plan and schedule should be part of the order.

What is included in delivery?

The quotation should identify the delivery point, packing, shipping documents and responsibilities for unloading. Installation, commissioning and on-site support need an agreed scope; they should not be assumed to be included.

What if the specification is incomplete?

Send what you have, together with the state, application and intended delivery date. A single-line diagram or utility document is useful, but you do not need a finished equipment schedule to start a conversation.
