Medium voltage Pad-mounted transformers are pivotal components in modern electrical distribution systems. Padmount transformers are used with underground electric power distribution lines at service drops, to step down the primary voltage on the line to the lower secondary voltage supplied to utility customers. A single transformer may serve one large building or many homes.
Common Application Uses:
- Residential Areas: Supply power to housing developments by converting high voltage to household levels.
- Commercial Complexes: Serve shopping centers and office buildings, meeting diverse business power needs.
- Industrial Parks: Provide power to industrial zones with multiple small industries.
- Public Facilities: Supply power to schools, hospitals, and parks.
Typical Installation Locations:
- Near Buildings: Positioned at a safe distance to comply with safety regulations.
- Sidewalks/Roadside: Found in residential and commercial areas, securely enclosed.
- Green Spaces: Located in public green spaces or utility easements for easy access by utility personnel.
- Industrial Zones: Strategically placed to efficiently distribute power within the zone.

ESSENTIAL Pad Mounted Ttansformer SPECIFICATIONS
1. Capacity (kVA):
- Determines the maximum power the transformer can handle.
- Ensures the transformer meets power demands without overloading.
2. Voltage Ratings:
- Primary voltage: Level at which the transformer receives power.
- Secondary voltage: Level at which the transformer delivers power to the load.
- Correct voltage ratings are crucial for compatibility with supply and load.
3. Phase:
- Single-phase: Suitable for residential and light commercial applications.
- Three-phase: Used for commercial and industrial applications with higher power needs.
- Correct phase selection ensures effective power supply.
4. Frequency: 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
5. Temperature Rise:
- Indicates the increase in temperature of the transformer’s windings above ambient temperature under full-load conditions.
- Proper management avoids insulation degradation and extends operational life.
6. Insulation Level:
- Represents the transformer’s ability to withstand voltage stresses.
- Essential for protection from overvoltages and ensuring reliable operation.
7. Taps:
- Adjustable connections on the transformer windings for adjusting the voltage ratio.
- Crucial for compensating voltage variations and maintaining desired output voltage.
8. Impedance:
