What Types of Commercial Transformers Are Available?
Your choice of transformers depends on many factors, including how you intend to use them, your home or business's electrical capacity, and your budget. Mr. Electric of Paulding County can help you search various transformer types to determine which one fits your electrical system. We’ve described several common options for you to consider:
Liquid-Filled Transformers
Electricians use these transformers in various commercial and industrial locations. You can use them in indoor and outdoor locations, and their application depends on the fluid type they are filled with. For outdoor locations, these transformers are filled with mineral oil. Those intended for indoor use are filled with high fire point fluids.
Dry-Type Transformers
You get a broad range of industrial functions with dry-type transformers. We can install these transformers close to your electrical load, so you won't need expensive cable runs. This transformer type has low operating and maintenance costs, making it more cost-efficient.
Cast Coil Transformers
With their high dielectric strength, cast coil transformers can handle electrical stress, overvoltages, and thermal stress. Additionally, you get a long lifespan out of this transformer type, and it requires little maintenance. Airborne contaminants and moisture don’t affect this transformer because of its cast coil windings. We recommend cast coil transformers in various facilities, including:
- Medical production
- Food and beverage production
- Automotive production
- Pulp and paper production
- Pharmaceutical production
Step-Up & Step-Down Transformers
Electrical systems use these transformers to either increase or decrease how much voltage is transferred.
Pad-Mounted Transformers
You can use pad-mounted transformers for underground power distribution systems. This option is flexible and comparatively low-profile because of its contemporary design. Additionally, there's no need to place a protective barrier around a pad-mounted transformer because it already has insulated construction. We recommend these transformers for various places, such as restaurants, offices, retail spaces, and schools. However, some homes benefit from using this transformer type as well.
Isolation Transformers
This transformer type lets you connect two appliances without directly feeding power from one device to the other. People typically employ isolation transformers in situations when they need to isolate their equipment from its power source for safety.
Toroidal Transformers
These unique transformers don’t change frequency when transferring electricity from one circuit to another. You may choose a toroidal transformer because it reduces physical size, losses, and switch-mode power supply weight. This option offers these benefits because it uses electromagnetic induction. It takes a circular formation, minimizing how much wire you need and helping prevent electromagnetic interference.
Custom Transformers
Electricians can design these transformers to meet your electrical system’s size and performance requirements.
Buck Boost Transformers
These transformers are an excellent choice to buck (decrease) or boost (increase) small voltage amounts to power lighting applications at businesses and homes.
