Dry Type Transformers
ELSCO Transformers specializes in designing and manufacturing dry type transformers. We’ve been producing dry type transformers in our facilities since 1988, and our commitment to superior quality has awarded us with an excellent track record. We offer customers various transformer options for uninterrupted power supplies that fit their specific industry’s unique applications.
The main distinction between dry type transformers and most other transformer types lies within their cooling systems. Instead of using a liquid cooling agent (oil) to prevent the unit from overheating, dry type transformers rely on ventilation through air circulation around the windings. This configuration protects the internal components, particularly the coils and insulation, from reaching the point of thermal shock damage.
Padmount Transformers
We offer various padmount transformers, all of which are constructed in our facilities and shipped directly to your location. Our liquid-filled padmount transformers are among the most advanced designs in the industry and provide an array of customization options.
Purchasing your padmount transformers from ELSCO Transformers provides you with the following major benefits:
- They can be customized to fit your specific applications.
- We offer mostly new padmount transformer models.
- Our padmount transformer options accommodate the needs of most industrial and commercial applications.
- Our padmount options also include incredibly cost-effective power output capabilities.
- Every padmount transformer that leaves our facility is made in the U.S. and tested numerous times before shipping.
- Copper and aluminum winding options are available for build-to-order models.
Padmount transformers are ideal for a wide range of applications, including hospitals, correctional facilities, manufacturing plants, shopping centers and more. Their tamper-proof construction makes them a safe option even for residential settings where they connect underground power lines. Plus, our padmount transformers feature a power range from 500 to 2,500 kVA.

Custom Bus Work
One of our most popular transformer services is custom bus work. With this service, we take your new dry type transformer and modify the HV cable and LV bus to slide right in and bolt right up for seamless retrofit replacements.
Our experienced team can come directly to your facility to take all of the necessary measurements in order to perform custom bus work on any retrofit dry type transformer. Contact us to learn more about this service.
Retrofitting
When your transformer breaks or struggles to maintain its original power capacity, it’s time for a transformer retrofit. Transformer retrofitting refers to the process of replacing an old transformer with a new unit that fits the design and power requirements of your facility.
We can retrofit dry type transformers, padmount transformers, in-stock replacement transformers and most other medium voltage transformer types. If your facility’s transformers are nearing the end of their lifespan or are unable to meet your increased capacity needs, reach out to ELSCO Transformers for custom retrofitting work.
