Phase and Class Coverage (1-Phase & 3-Phase, Distribution Class)

We supply both single-phase and three-phase dry-type transformers. Three-phase covers the majority of commercial, industrial, and distribution applications because most loads in those environments are three-phase: HVAC equipment, motors, elevators, large lighting systems, and process equipment.

For single-phase applications, browse our single-phase transformer category.

Three-phase transformers we supply are built to distribution class standards under ANSI/IEEE C57.12.01 and related test code C57.12.91. If your project specifies power class or a non-standard configuration, send the spec and we will source accordingly.

Phase Common KVA Range Typical Use
Single-Phase 0.05–500 KVA Lighting panels, control circuits, small commercial, isolation, multifamily
Three-Phase 3–5000 KVA Commercial buildings, industrial facilities, data centers, hospitals, primary distribution

Capacity and Voltage Range (Up to 5 MVA, Up to 15 KV)

We source three-phase transformers across the full capacity and voltage spectrum used in commercial, industrial, and medium-voltage applications.

Medium-voltage three-phase units are typically specified for applications where the unit needs to step down from utility-supplied 5 KV or 15 KV service inside a building or vault, where mineral oil cannot be used. 

These units cost more than equivalent liquid-filled designs, but they often pay back through lower fire suppression, containment, and ventilation costs on hospital, university, and data center installations.

Voltage Class Capacity Range Common Use
600V Class (Low Voltage) Up to 1000 KVA Standard commercial and industrial building distribution, mechanical equipment
5 KV Class (Medium Voltage) Up to 5000 KVA Industrial primary distribution, large commercial, data center primary
15 KV Class (Medium Voltage) Up to 5000 KVA Industrial primary distribution, hospital primary, data center primary, university campuses

Indoor vs Outdoor Options

Most three-phase transformer applications are indoor. Outdoor units are specified when liquid-filled transformers are not desired but the installation is exterior, such as rooftop equipment, equipment yards near occupied buildings, or sites with strict environmental restrictions on oil-containing equipment. 

Indoor installations need to account for ventilation, ambient temperature, and sound, since dry-type units reject heat into the surrounding space.

Installation Enclosure Common Use
Indoor NEMA 1 (ventilated) or NEMA 2 (drip-proof) Mechanical rooms, electrical rooms, vaults, occupied building spaces
Outdoor NEMA 3R (weather-resistant) or NEMA 4 (sealed) Rooftop installations, exterior pads, weather-exposed equipment

Available Options (Fan Kits, Lug Kits)

Three-phase transformers ship in standard configurations, with options available for specific application requirements:

  • Fan kits: add forced-air cooling to increase capacity above the self-cooled rating, typically by 33% on standard units
  • Lug kits: mechanical lugs for primary and secondary connections, sized to cable type and current
  • Surge arresters: primary-side protection for medium-voltage units
  • Temperature monitoring: winding temperature indicators with alarm contacts
  • Sound enclosures: reduced-sound designs for noise-sensitive installations
  • Stainless steel enclosures: for corrosive environments or coastal installations
  • K-factor designs: for non-linear loads with significant harmonic content
  • Electrostatic shields: for sensitive electronic equipment isolation

Types of Three-Phase Transformers

Three-phase transformers are built and configured for specific applications. The right type depends on what the unit is doing in the system: stepping voltage up, isolating a drive, isolating sensitive equipment, or interfacing renewable generation with the grid.

Type Function Common Use
Step-Up Increases voltage from generation or low-voltage source to higher distribution or transmission voltage Renewable generation tie-in, generator step-up, specific industrial equipment
Drive Isolation Provides electrical isolation for variable frequency drives and large motor loads Industrial VFD applications, motor drive systems, harmonic mitigation
Isolation Provides electrical separation between primary and secondary, typically with equal voltages Sensitive equipment isolation, hospital/lab applications, noise reduction
Solar Optimized for inverter-output service in solar PV applications Utility-scale solar collection, distributed solar tie-in, solar inverter step-up

Step-Up Transformers

We supply step-up three-phase transformers for renewable generation tie-in, generator step-up, cogeneration, and specific industrial equipment that needs to interface lower-voltage output with plant distribution. Common configurations include 480V to 12.47 KV or 13.8 KV for renewable tie-in, and lower voltages stepped to 480V or 600V for equipment-specific applications. 

Send the source voltage, output voltage, and KVA and we will quote accordingly.

Drive Isolation Transformers

Drive isolation transformers are designed for service with variable frequency drives (VFDs) and large motor loads. They provide electrical isolation between the source and the drive, reduce harmonic distortion reflected back to the source, and improve drive performance and protection.

These units are typically specified with K-factor ratings appropriate for the harmonic content of the connected drive load (K-4, K-13, or K-20 depending on harmonic severity). Common applications include large industrial VFD systems, HVAC drives in commercial buildings, and process equipment with significant non-linear loading.

Isolation Transformers

Isolation transformers provide electrical separation between primary and secondary windings, typically with equal voltages on both sides (480V to 480V is common). They are used to break ground loops, reduce electrical noise, protect sensitive equipment, and provide safety isolation in applications such as healthcare, laboratories, and sensitive electronic equipment service.Isolation transformers are often specified with electrostatic shielding for additional noise reduction, and they may be specified with K-factor ratings for harmonic-heavy loads. Send your application and we will configure accordingly.

Solar Transformers

Solar transformers are optimized for inverter-output service: cyclic loading, harmonic content from inverters, and continuous reverse-power operation. Common applications include utility-scale collection (typically 480V or 600V inverter output stepped up to 34.5 KV collection voltage), distributed solar tie-in for commercial installations, and inverter step-up for residential and small commercial systems. 

We work with renewable EPCs across both utility-scale and distributed solar projects.

Industries and Applications for Three-Phase Transformers

Dry-type transformers are used where liquid-filled equipment is not allowed, practical, or preferred. We supply dry-type units for commercial, industrial, heaThree-phase transformers support the commercial, industrial, utility, and renewable applications where three-phase power is required. We supply units for planned projects, facility upgrades, and emergency replacement needs.lthcare, renewable, and critical-infrastructure applications.

Electric Utility and Rural Distribution

Investor-owned utilities and co-ops, including municipal utilities and rural electric co-ops, use three-phase transformers for distribution feeders, commercial service, industrial customer drops, and substation applications. We support both scheduled procurement and urgent replacement needs. 

Data Centers and Crypto Mining

Data centers and crypto mining sites rely on three-phase transformers for site distribution, PDU feeders, isolation, and medium-voltage step-down applications. We help buyers source units when factory lead times do not match the project schedule.

Oil and Gas Operations

Oil and gas sites use three-phase transformers for gas processing plants, compressor stations, pump stations, and process equipment. We can help match units for new builds, harsh environments, and emergency replacements.

Solar and Renewable Energy Projects

Solar farms, wind sites, and battery storage projects use three-phase transformers for collection, step-up, tie-in, auxiliary service, and grid-interconnection applications. We work with renewable developers and EPCs to source project-ready configurations.

Selecting the Three-Phase Transformer

We help buyers spec the right unit every day. Send what you have and we will fill in the gaps.

Choosing the Right KVA Rating

KVA rating should reflect connected load, expected diversity, and any growth or motor inrush you need to plan for. Send:

  • Connected KVA or load schedule
  • Diversity factor if known
  • Future expansion plans
  • Required temperature rise (80°C, 115°C, 150°C)
  • Harmonic content of the load (drives, UPS, switching power supplies)
  • Motor inrush requirements (for motor-heavy applications)

Three-phase transformers are sensitive to ambient temperature, ventilation, and harmonic loading. The rating that fits a well-ventilated electrical room with linear loads may be insufficient for a hot mechanical space serving VFDs. 

We will recommend a rating that fits your load profile and installation environment without overbuilding.

Matching Primary and Secondary Voltage

Primary voltage is set by the building or utility distribution feeding the transformer. Secondary voltage is set by the load.

  • Primary side: confirm the voltage class feeding the unit (480V, 600V, 12.47 KV, 13.8 KV, 15 KV class, 24.7 KV)
  • Secondary side: confirm the load-side voltage requirement (208Y/120V, 480Y/277V, or other)
  • Connection: Delta-Wye is most common for step-down distribution; Wye-Delta or other configurations apply for specific applications
  • Frequency: 60 Hz is standard for North American applications; 50 Hz available for international or specific equipment
  • BIL: required for medium-voltage units, typically 60 KV BIL for 5 KV class and 95 KV BIL for 15 KV class

If your specifying engineer has provided a transformer spec or one-line diagram, send it as-is. We will confirm the configuration before quoting.

Installation and System Considerations

Three-phase transformer installations need to account for ventilation, sound, clearances, and harmonic loading:

  • Ventilation: dry-type units rely on air cooling and need adequate clearance and airflow
  • Sound: standard units generate audible hum; low-sound designs are available for noise-sensitive locations
  • Clearances: confirm National Electrical Code (NEC) clearances for indoor installations
  • Enclosure type: indoor (NEMA 1/2) or outdoor (NEMA 3R/4) per installation environment
  • Ambient temperature: affects loading capacity, especially in unconditioned spaces
  • Harmonic loading: K-factor designs are required for non-linear loads such as drives, UPS, and switching power supplies
  • Seismic considerations: some installations require IBC-compliant seismic-rated units
  • Accessibility: confirm that maintenance access, replacement clearances, and rigging paths work for the unit size

If your installation has site-specific constraints, mention them on the quote request. Problems with ventilation, sound, or access are much cheaper to solve before the unit ships.
