Padmount Transformers | 75 kVA to 15000 kVA - Pacific Crest Transformers

Padmount Transformers come in a wide variety of electrical and mechanical configurations. They may be offered in any voltage, phase or frequency required.
A Padmount Transformer is mounted on a 'pad' foundation with high and low voltage underground cables entering from below directly into the terminal compartments, which are a part of the transformer housing. Padmount transformers are specially designed for ease of installation and reliability in public areas, where a tamper-proof design is required.

Benefits of Pacific Crest Transformer design

A Padmount Transformer is designed for distribution and specialty (dedicated load) applications, in public access areas where security and public safety are of premier importance
Pacific Crest Transformers are also designed for ease of installation and first cost savings
Integral fault protection reduces outage time
Single-phase or three-phase designs are available,depending on load requirements
Internal loadbreak switches can be used as loadbreak devices or as a sectionalizing switch to locate faults and isolate them
Safe, dead-front construction or live front construction options are available

Application

A Padmount Transformer is a single piece of equipment with integral HV and LV terminal chamber; it requires less space and makes installation simpler, less expensive and more aesthetic.
This also means that costs associated with operation and maintenance are reduced.
PCT's liquid-filled, Padmount Transformers are an ideal choice for commercial, industrial, and utility applications.
All ratings are designed in accordance with applicable ANSI, NEMA and IEEE standards.
