Transformer Features
This clam-shell pad-mounted oil-immeresed transformer comes in single-phase configurations with a voltage rating of 480 V on the primary side and 240/120 V on the secondary side with dual winding. This unit’s cores are made from cold-rolled silicon steel laminations using state-of-the-art technology.
This transformer is highly energy efficient with lower heat emissions, resulting in fewer cooling requirements. The unit also features mineral oil as an insulating fluid with a 65°C temperature rise. With its NEMA Type 3R enclosure, this clam-shell pad-mount unit can be used for indoor or outdoor applications.
This transformer is primarily used in Electric power distribution, industrial sites, electrical rooms, underground vaults, manufacturing facilities, processing plants, commercial buildings, and underground industrial power distribution.
Benefits
Pad mount transformers are ground-mounted distribution transformers enclosed in a metal cabinet, usually located on a concrete pad. This type of transformer, enclosed in a grounded metal box with all live contact points, can be installed in residential areas without fencing, unlike transformers in substations.
MPS’ pad mount transformers are protected against tampering and the weather, so they can be safely placed where people are present. All enclosures are made from heavy gauge sheet steel and powder painted with a baked-on coating to make them tamper-resistant. Our pad mount transformers come in live-front and dead-front designs along with radial or loop feed.
Our transformers are made of premium materials and typically support residential, commercial, and industrial loads in cities and rural areas. They are filled with sustainable and biodegradable dielectric fluid, which offers excellent fire protection and a longer lifespan.
FAQs
Our recommendation is that you buy a purpose-built step-up transformer instead of reverse feeding when possible.
