FAQ From Customers
-
What are pole mounted transformers filled with?
Most pole mounted transformers are oil immersed transformers filled with insulating mineral oil or synthetic ester fluid. The oil serves two main purposes — it provides insulation between internal components and helps dissipate heat generated during operation. Some eco-friendly designs use biodegradable natural ester fluids for improved fire safety and environmental protection. Regular oil testing ensures the distribution transformer maintains optimal performance and long service life. -
What is a pole mounted recloser?
A pole mounted recloser is an automatic, high-voltage electrical switch installed alongside a pole mounted transformer to protect power lines from faults. When a short circuit or overload occurs, the recloser interrupts the flow of electricity and automatically restores power after a short delay. This reduces outages and improves grid reliability in overhead distribution transformer networks. Reclosers are essential for modern rural and urban power systems that rely on pole mounted transformers. -
What is the largest pole mounted transformer?
The largest pole mounted transformers typically range up to 500 kVA or more, depending on regional standards and pole load capacity. Larger-capacity three phase pole mounted transformers are designed for industrial or community-scale power distribution. However, most utilities prefer sizes under 300 kVA for safety, weight, and installation reasons. NPC Electric can design and manufacture custom high-capacity pole mounted transformers to meet specific voltage and kVA requirements. -
What is a three-phase transformer?
A three phase transformer is used to transfer electrical energy in three phase power systems, which are common in industrial, commercial, and large-scale distribution networks. Compared with a single phase transformer, a three phase pole mounted transformer delivers higher efficiency, balanced load distribution, and greater power capacity. It is often installed on poles or in substations as part of the distribution transformer network to step down high transmission voltages. -
Do transformers convert AC to DC?
No, transformers do not convert AC to DC. A transformer only changes the voltage level of alternating current (AC), stepping it up or down as needed. To convert AC to DC, additional electronic components such as rectifiers are required. For example, a pole mounted transformer may step down the AC voltage from 11kV to 415V, and then a rectifier or converter can change that AC output into DC for specific applications.
