If you’re importing equipment from another country, you must ensure you have the correct transformer for the voltage and frequency of the country of origin. Voltage and frequency vary widely by region, so it’s crucial to verify the right power transformer specifications before purchasing a commercial or industrial transformer. Types of LV Transformers Needed for […]
Read MoreReverse feeding a transformer is not a recommended practice, as it can lead to decreased performance and potential damage. However, some distribution transformers can be reverse-connected without reducing their nameplate KVA capacity. It is important to take precautions when reversing the connection of smaller transformers, such as three-phase transformers under 6kVA and single-phase transformers under […]
Read MoreTransformers are designed to change the voltage of an electrical supply, not its frequency. Transformers only transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another. If you need to change the frequency of your supply, say from 50Hz to 60Hz, you will need to purchase a dedicated frequency converter or potentially new equipment. Can a […]
Read MoreWhether you’re running a factory, a construction site, or a commercial building, reliable power equipment is essential in keeping your operations running smoothly. One of the most important pieces of equipment in your arsenal is the power transformer. In this article, we’ll answer common questions about transformer specifications, power transformer maintenance, protecting against power outages, […]
Read MoreWhile the majority of businesses rely on the grid for their power, doing so has become less stable than ever. The problem might be your own electrical system, from a single circuit to a complete shutdown of power. The electrical industry and its supply chains are still in recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, and it […]
Read MoreHow do you choose a transformer? Well, choosing a transformer rental is a smart start. You access the exact transformer you need, and you get professional support for a lower cost than buying the transformer outright. If you’re renting a transformer for your business, there are things you should know about how to choose the […]
Read MoreHaving issues getting your transformers and electrical equipment this year, you’re not alone. Why Is There An Electrical Transformer Shortage In Canada? There is an electrical supply shortage due to slow downs with the electric material and steel supply chain. These slow downs have resulted in longer wait times and therefore what took 15-30weeks to […]
Read MoreA neutral grounding resistor or neutral ground resistor is an important option for anyone using low and medium-voltage generators and transformers. Every system with a generator, alternator or transformer needs to be grounded to improve safety and prevent damage to people, equipment, and your overall electrical system. Neutral ground resistors are just one option to […]
Read MoreInterested in learning more about how an isolation transformer works? Here are five major advantages of isolation transformers: 1. Isolation Transformers Have A Lower Risk of Energy Surge Power surges are problematic when you work with electricity. A surge could short circuit equipment, shock you, or even cause a fire. Isolation transformers reduce […]
Read MoreTransformers adjust the voltage of the electrical current. A single-phase transformer is fairly simple, it uses one primary and one secondary winding in order to change the voltage. Three-phase transformers are more complex and are able to support heavy industrial use. Discover how three-phase transformers work and why you might consider using one below. What […]
