In a processing plant, a shutdown is a costly interruption that could spoil batches and reduce workplace safety, especially if you use hazardous materials. This pause also translates to missed deadlines, putting your bottom line at risk.
ELSCO Transformers engineers quality oil-filled padmount and dry type transformers to meet the power demands of continuous processing environments.
Discover High-Quality Medium Voltage Transformers
To provide reliable performance and your peace of mind, we meet and exceed the latest DOE, IEEE, NEMA and ANSI standards. Whether you need a single unit, multiple systems, a built-to-order asset or an off-the-shelf asset, we carry medium voltage transformers in ratings ranging from 500 kVA to 3,750 kVA.
Padmount Transformers for Processing Plants
Processing plants install oil-filled padmount transformers outdoors to power the entire facility or specific processing areas. Their tamper-proof cabinet design with lockable doors allows for safe installation outside without requiring protective fencing.
Our padmount engineering helps you maintain nonstop production through:
- Easy maintenance: With an external drain valve, technicians can test the fluid without disrupting your continuous process.
- A more sustainable option: Our natural ester fluid option helps you achieve your sustainability goals by reducing your environmental impact.
- Tailored electrical connections: Match your specific design with Dead Front or Live Front connections.
Dry Type Transformers for Processing Plants
Typically used indoors, processing plants install dry type transformers near the large electrical loads they serve. Our dry type transformer design is focused on providing operational continuity. It offers:
- Process line protection: Superior short-circuit strength from sheet-wound secondaries prevents faults from causing failure that could halt your entire line.
- Robust performance under stress: For core-form transformers of 25 kV and above, our disc windings provide improved mechanical strength to withstand major electrical forces, while evenly distributing stress to eliminate weak points.
- 24/7 load performance: With high-temperature Nomex insulation, our transformers are built to handle the stress of continuous, heavy loads without overheating.
