Distribution Transformers

Distribution transformers serve as critical nodes in the electrical grid, stepping down medium distribution voltages (⚡ 11 kV or 33 kV) to end-user utilization levels (⚡ 400 V three-phase / 230 V single-phase).

Distribution Transformer Types

• 🪜 Pole-Mounted: Compact units mounted directly on utility poles for overhead distribution in residential or rural areas.
• 🟩 Pad-Mounted: Ground-level, locked steel enclosures designed for underground distribution systems in suburban or commercial zones.
• 🏢 Dry-Type: Fire-resistant transformers using air or resin instead of liquid coolant, ideal for indoor, high-occupancy buildings.
