VanTran Transformers has served industrial and commercial facilities throughout North America since 1963. Many businesses that have installed VanTran systems need replacements as the old transformers reach the end of their useful lifespan. These older units often experience dropoffs in performance, increased maintenance requirements and compatibility issues with newer types of equipment.
When your VanTran transformer shows signs of wear and no longer meets your operational demands, ELSCO Transformers offers replacement solutions that restore reliable power distribution while minimizing installation downtime.
Signs You May Need to Replace Your VanTran Dry Type Transformer
As a VanTran transformer ages and declines in performance, various signs are visible to maintenance crews. These units often develop issues with insulation deterioration, increased operating temperatures and reduced efficiency, which can affect overall reliability. Many older VanTran installations also struggle to work effectively with modern switchgear and control systems.
Temperature cycling, humidity exposure, dust accumulation and other environmental factors speed up aging. High-demand facilities like petrochemical plants, mining operations and manufacturing centers often see accelerated wear patterns that require earlier replacement.
Choosing ELSCO for Your VanTran Transformer Replacement
