WE SPECIALIZE IN EMERGENCY TRANSFORMER REPLACEMENTS If you have an emergency power outage call 800-232-9002 to contact our Rapid Response Team 800-232-9002 Dry Type Transformers A dry type transformer uses circulating air to protect the coils, windings and insulation from overheating. ELSCO has been manufacturing dry type transformers since 1988. Our dry types are a preferred choice for indoor installations because they run cool and quiet and have no flammable coolants that can leak or cause fires. For safety reasons they are usually installed in a locked enclosure. By employing modern designs and using only quality materials and workmanship, ELSCO produces dry type transformers that meet or exceed Department of Energy standards and offer significant cost and environmental advantages. ELSCO Dry-Type transformers embody highly efficient designs with laminated steel cores, 100% copper windings, and top grade insulation. They are hand-wound and assembled under strict quality controls in our factory in Cincinnati, Ohio. Each transformer is tested five times during its construction to ensure our customers receive a reliable product that will provide decades of useful life. We have been manufacturing dry type transformers this way since 1988, with zero failures due to materials and workmanship. Our dedication to quality enables us to offer a five year warranty on our new dry type transformers. The industry norm is one year. We stock dry type transformers in 500 KVA to 2500 KVA ratings and primary voltages of 2400, 4160, 12470, 13200 and 13800 volts. We normally maintain 95% availability of units in these popular ratings, so that we can ship from stock within 24-48 hours. If you have unique specifications we can also build a new dry type transformer for you. The Benefits of ELSCO Dry Type Transformers The benefits of our dry type transformers originate from both the design and the materials used in their construction. Superior Materials Coil options include copper or aluminum magnet wire and round coil, disc wound designs. We select insulation such as Dupont Nomex and SG200 fiberglass for their quality and outstanding longevity. Long Life Because we use quality materials in their construction, our dry type units have an expected useful life of 30 years or more, and require little or no maintenance. Their resistance to short circuits and excessive heating minimizes the chances of premature failure. Lower Fire Risk Enclosing the coils in a polyester varnish coating greatly reduces the risk of fire and isolates them from moisture. Dry types do not contain any combustible oil coolant; consequently they provide a safer option in potentially hazardous areas such as forests, petrochemical plants or chemical manufacturing facilities. Easy Installation With options for either indoor or outdoor enclosures, the installation of these transformers is simple and easy. While this greatly reduces any downtime, we go one step further – offering offer a customized retrofit solution that leaves our facility as a perfect “plug and play” for your facility. Pollution Free Dry type transformers contain no liquids that can leak out and contaminate an area. Dry types provide pollution-free operation, making them useful in areas sensitive to liquid or chemical contamination. Suitable for a Variety of Environments Because many models provide moisture protection of the inner coils or cores, these transformers can work indoors and outdoors in dry and moist conditions. Additionally, because these transformers have proven to perform through some seismic events, they are ideal for earthquake prone areas where building codes may require equipment to have this protection.

A padmount transformer is a tamper–proof distribution transformer with lockable front doors that is installed on a concrete pad. They are liquid cooled. They are ideal for public spaces like shopping malls, restaurants and other areas that see significant foot traffic, where electrical equipment needs to be kept secure. They are frequently installed outdoors in all-weather conditions. Padmount Transformers We Stock We stock padmount transformers with ratings from 500 KVA to 2,500 KVA, with 4160, 12470, 13200 and 13800 volt primary voltages. If you’re not sure what transformer size you need, we can work with you to calculate the rating that will work best. Our stock units are three-phase, but we can build a single-phase transformer to order as needed. Our new, in-stock units can have either aluminum or copper windings depending on what is available at the time. New, build-to-order units can be designed and built with either aluminum or copper windings and insulated with mineral oil or natural ester fluid. All our transformers are made by hand in the United States. ELSCO padmount systems can come outfitted with many accessories, such as temperature and liquid level gauges, pressure vacuum gauge, pressure relief valve, drain valve and sampler, fuses, load breaker switch, and lightning arresters. Benefits of a Padmount Transformer Padmount transformers are great when under-ground service is required, or when the unit will be installed outdoors and exposed to the weather, They are normally enclosed and locked in a NEMA standard steel cabinet. Our transformers offer a cost-efficient solution for your energy needs. ELSCO’s inventory of new transformers exceeds all national energy efficiency standards — including NEMA, ANSI and IEEE — plus the recommended ENERGY STAR and Department of Energy (DOE) ratings, so you can deliver more power at a lower cost.

Other Transformer Services Because of ELSCO’s decades of experience in rebuilding, rewinding and repairing transformers, we have the knowledge and skills to build, repair or retrofit any brand or model of medium-voltage transformers in use today. Due to recent advances in transformer technology, it is usually more economical to replace an older transformer with a new model rather than repair or rebuild it. While the new models are more efficient, they are often a different size and would not match the existing connections. ELSCO can provide the following services to solve this problem: Transformer Retrofits. A retrofit replaces an older transformer with a newer model that may also have a higher KVA rating. Dimensions are likely to be different, requiring custom bus work and new high voltage bushings and accessories. Custom-Built Transformers. Some customers have unique specifications and design requirements that cannot be met with retrofitted stock units. ELSCO can design and build a custom transformer to those specifications. Transformer Repairs. Occasionally a custom-built transformer that is only a few years old will have a performance issue or fail outright, but can be repaired. If a repair is the most economical solution, ELSCO has the knowledge and experience to make the repair. Since repairs take time, an urgent need might be met temporarily with a retrofitted pre-owned transformer. ELSCO’s business has always been to provide transformer solutions.
