High-Quality Electrical Transformer Installation Service in Birmingham, AL

Our commercial customers choose their transformers based on several factors, including how they plan on using them, their property's electrical capacity, and budget. We can help you determine what type of transformer best fits your residential or commercial electrical system. There are several common options for electrical transformers available, including: 

• 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 over-voltages, electrical stress, and thermal stress. These transformers have long lifespans and require little maintenance. 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, 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.
