At ELSCO Transformers, we carry 1,500 kVA medium voltage dry type transformers built to lower the total cost of ownership. From using high-quality materials to backing your new investment for indoor installation with a five-year warranty, our systems often provide more than 35 years of service, allowing you to operate with peace of mind. Our in-stock inventory is available to leave our facility within 24 to 48 hours, depending on what modifications need to be made.
Delivering Reliable Performance Since 1988
Through a stringent production process that involves hand assembly, ELSCO Transformers produces high-quality 1,500 kVA dry type transformers that consistently record a power factor rating of around 0.3%, compared to the industry ceiling of 1%. Every coil is hand-wound by experts to achieve uniform tension and concentric winding alignment. We maintain and verify the required airflow clearances, and each model passes five sequential production tests. Our commitment to quality has allowed us to maintain a consistent track record of zero failures or warranty claims since 1988.
1,500 kVA Dry Type Transformer Features
The magnetic core uses a step-lap mitered core made from CRGO laminated steel. This design minimizes iron losses and runs at a lower flux density, improving energy efficiency and reducing annual operating costs over the system’s service life. We use 100% copper for high- and low-voltage windings, a material that offers superior conductivity and durability.
Our coil assembly features DuPont Nomex insulation, rated for 200° Celsius, which we pair with SG200 fiberglass. These high-grade materials provide exceptional dielectric stability, flame resistance and mechanical toughness, increasing safety for indoor installations. Our devices meet and exceed DOE, NEMA, ANSI and IEEE standards, while the dry-type design and integrated anti-vibration pads provide a clean, quiet operation.

Installation and Support
We can modify an in-stock unit to fit your existing space and electrical infrastructure, and our team can fabricate custom bus bars based on your specifications. These services align your investment for a seamless, plug-and-play installation that reduces downtime and the need for costly system-wide overhauls. Our experienced transformer engineers are available for installation guidance and troubleshooting.
Industries That Can Benefit From a 1,500 kVA Transformer
1,500 kVA installations are common in:
- Automotive and heavy-process manufacturing: Our transformers support the high-amperage, continuous draw of full-scale assembly lines and process systems running across multiple concurrent shifts.
- Regional airports: 1,500 kVA systems provide stable voltage to power terminal operations, gate systems, environmental controls and ground support infrastructure where safety is critical.
- Large correctional and government operations facilities: A 1,500 kVA transformer serves HVAC and life-safety systems across large institutional campuses with 24-hour operational demands.
- Semiconductor fabrication and precision manufacturing: Our devices deliver clean, stable power to protect production yields and equipment integrity from any voltage deviations.
- Industrial cold storage and food processing complexes: 1,500 kVA solutions support refrigeration, processing lines and logistics systems that operate at full electrical load through continuous 24-hour cycles.
