Mr. Electric of Charlotte Metro installs transformers in Charlotte, NC. An electrical transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. Transformers come in a variety of forms, and our team is well-versed in matching the suitable transformers to your specific needs. From pad-mounted to custom transformers, we handle repairs, installations, and troubleshooting for high-tech transformers. Whether you require a new transformer or maintenance for an existing unit, we are here to help. Contact us today to learn more.

Why Do I Need Transformer Installation Services?

Transformers installation is necessary because they play a crucial role in power distribution systems as they help regulate and control voltage levels. By stepping up or stepping down the voltage, transformers ensure that electricity can be efficiently transmitted over long distances and delivered to various locations at suitable voltage levels. Transformers provide electrical isolation between circuits, ensuring safety and protection against electric shocks. They act as a barrier, preventing direct contact between power sources and electrical devices or appliances.

We Offer Multiple Types of Transformers 

Our experienced team will help you choose the type of transformer that fits your electrical system. The best choice for you depends on multiple factors, including how you intend to use them, your property's electrical capacity, and your budget. Below, we explain the types of transformers to help you make an informed decision. 

Liquid-Filled Transformers 

A liquid-filled transformer is typically used in commercial and industrial settings. They can be used indoors or outdoors. Liquid-filled transformers are filled with mineral oil for outdoor use or high fire point fluid for indoor use. 

Dry-Type Transformers 

Dry-type transformers offer a vast range of industrial functions. We often install this type of transformer close to your electrical load to eliminate the need for expensive cable runs. Dry-type transformers have lower operating and maintenance costs. 

Cast Coil Transformers 

Cast coil transformers have high dielectric strength to handle electrical stress, thermal stress, and overvoltages. They require little maintenance and have a long lifespan. The cast coil windings ensure that moisture and airborne contaminants won’t affect this transformer. The most common places we install cast coil transformers include the following:

• Medical production 
• Pulp and paper production 
• Automotive production 
• Food and beverage production 
• Pharmaceutical production 

 Step-Up & Step-Down Transformers 

Step-up and step-down transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage transfer. A step-up transformer is a type of electrical transformer that increases the voltage level from the input winding to the output winding. It is used when the voltage needs to be raised for efficient long-distance transmission or to match specific equipment requirements. A step-down transformer reduces the voltage from the input to the output winding. Step-down transformers are commonly found in household electricity distribution systems, where the high voltage from the power grid is stepped down to lower, safer levels for use in homes and businesses.

Pad-Mounted Transformers 

Pad-mounted transformers are commonly used for underground power distribution systems. They provide a flexible, low-profile option due to the contemporary design. Pad-mounted transformers do not need a protective barrier because they have an insulated construction. The best places for this type of transformer include offices, restaurants, retail spaces, and schools.  

Isolation Transformers 

An isolation transformer allows two appliances to be connected without direct power feed. This type of transformer is often used when equipment needs to be isolated from its power source for safety. 

Toroidal Transformers 

Toroidal transformers maintain constant frequency when transferring electricity and are chosen for their reduced size, losses, and weight. Most people love that they use electromagnetic induction. The circulation formation of a toroidal transformer helps reduce the amount of wire needed, preventing electromagnetic interference.

Custom Transformers 

 Our expert service professionals can design customized transformers that meet the needs of your electrical system. We can customize it to meet your performance requirements and the electrical system’s size.

Buck Boost Transformers 

A buck boost transformer is used to increase or decrease small voltage amounts. Buck means decrease, and boost means increase. This is used in power lighting applications.
