High-Quality Electrical Transformers in Birmingham, AL

You may be asking, “What does a transformer do?” Electrical transformers are used to increase or decrease voltage and electric current distributed to a residential property, business, or collection of properties. Electricians use transformers to regulate the amount of electricity transferred and ensure all connected systems operate with the correct voltage. Transformers ensure safety, reliability, and efficiency.

Our certified electricians at Mr. Electric of Birmingham will match you with the right transformer for your electrical needs. Transformers come in many forms, and our licensed electricians have experience repairing, installing, and even troubleshooting high-tech transformers. If you need a new transformer installed by our professionals or preventative maintenance for your existing one, Mr. Electric can help.

• Liquid-Filled Transformers – These transformers are used in various commercial and industrial locations, both indoor and outdoor. Their application depends on the type of fluid they’re filled with. For outdoor use, they’re filled with mineral oil. For indoor use, they’re filled with high-fire point fluids.
• Dry-Type Transformers – Dry-type transformers allow for a broad range of industrial functions. Our electricians can install them close to your electrical load to avoid running expensive cables. This type of transformer has lower maintenance and operating costs compared to others.
• Cast Coil Transformers – Cast coil transformers have high dielectric strength, allowing them to handle overvoltages, electrical stress, and thermal stress. These transformers have long lifespans and little maintenance required. The cast coil windings prevent airborne contaminants and moisture from damaging it. Mr. Electric of Birmingham recommends cast coil transformers in facilities like medical production, food and beverage production, and automotive production, just to name a few.
• Step-Up & Step-Down Transformers – These transformers are installed to either increase or decrease how much voltage is transferred to an electrical system.
• Pad-Mounted Transformers – These transformers are used for underground power distribution systems because they’re flexible and have a contemporary design, making them low-profile. They have insulated construction, eliminating the need to place a protective barrier around the unit. We recommend these transformers for schools, restaurants, retail spaces, and office buildings.
• Isolation Transformers – This transformer allows you to connect two appliances without directly feeding power from one device to the other. These are typically used when people need to isolate equipment from its power source for safety.
• Toroidal Transformers – These transformers reduce the physical size, losses, and switch-mode power supply weight due to using electromagnetic induction. These transformers are unique because they don’t change frequency when transferring electricity between circuits. They take a circular formation, minimizing the amount of wire you need and preventing electromagnetic interference.
• Custom Transformers – You can have a custom transformer designed by a licensed electrician to meet your electrical system’s size and load requirements.
• Buck Boost Transformers – These transformers are great for people to buck (decrease), or boost (increase) small voltage amounts to power lighting applications when needed.
