ELSCO Transformers provides oil-filled padmount and dry type transformers to help you maintain the integrity of your research. Designed for resilience and performance, our units increase power reliability for your peace of mind.
High-Quality Medium Voltage Transformers
Due to our commitment to quality and your peace of mind, our transformers meet and exceed NEMA, DOE, IEEE and ANSI standards. Depending on your needs, buy an off-the-shelf system or request a custom build, with ratings ranging from 500 kVA to 3,750 kVA.
Padmount Transformers for Research Facilities
Oil-filled padmounts are installed outdoors as part of underground power distribution systems. They transform power for your entire research facility or a large section of it.
We build our units to align with the goals and safety standards of modern research facilities.
- Meet sustainability goals: We offer the option to choose biodegradable natural ester fluid, supporting your organization’s environmental and sustainability initiatives.
- Improve safety: The external drain valve and sampler streamlines fluid analysis, enhancing technician safety and decreasing downtime.
- Obtain the right setup for your facility: Whether maximizing safety or cost-effectiveness, we offer Dead Front and Live Front connections to suit your goals. We also offer Radial or Loop Feed configurations.
Dry Type Transformers for Research Facilities
While these systems operate indoors or outdoors, they are often preferred indoors, closer to the laboratories. Use them as a secondary voltage step-down for specific high-power equipment or to serve building distribution panels.
Our design provides:
- Equipment protection: Sheet-wound secondary windings provide superior short-circuit strength, protecting the transformer and minimizing downtime.
- Safe indoor operation: With Nomex insulation and an air-cooled design, our transformers are safe for indoor lab environments.
- An advanced high-voltage design: In core-form transformers of 25 kV and above, we use a precision disc winding technique. This advanced construction delivers exceptional structural integrity and facilitates a uniform distribution of electrical stresses, maximizing the transformer’s lifespan.
Comprehensive Transformer Services
Our solutions include:
- Emergency replacements: Our Quick Response Team quickly and efficiently replaces a failed transformer to minimize downtime.
- Transformer repairs and rebuilds: Our highly skilled technicians perform quality repairs and rebuilds to restore transformer performance. With repair and rebuild experience dating back to 1912, you can count on our proven experience.
- Transformer retrofits: We replace old transformers with new units tailored to your research facility and the current system’s power requirements.
- Custom bus work: This solution involves seamlessly connecting your retrofit or new system to your research facility’s existing infrastructure.
- Custom-built transformers: We are equipped to meet the exact specifications and power requirements of your built-to-order dry type or oil-filled padmount transformer.
