Industrial Transformers

Industrial transformers are essential for many commercial applications. Any process that involves the transfer of power and energy between different industrial settings or machinery will rely on a high current energy transformer.

Heavy duty transformer machinery is typically used to modify the voltage of electricity while keeping electrical power unchanged. They can be used to produce power, regulate temperature, and move fluid substances. We're proud to stock a wide range from some of the biggest names on the market.

Our useful filter tools can help you refine your search to find the exact industrial transformer you're looking for. Narrow it down by manufacturer, measurement range, supply voltage, and more.

How do industrial transformers work?

Industrial transformers are electromagnetic devices that transform power and provide a degree of isolation between two parts of a circuit. They are typically made up of a core and two individual sets of wire coils called primary and secondary windings.

When AC current is applied to the primary winding of the high voltage transformer, this creates a magnetic field. The core directs the path of the magnetic field between the two coils to prevent wasted energy. When the magnetic field reaches the secondary winding, the electrons within it move which creates an electric current through electromotive force.

What type of industrial transformers are available?

We stock a wide variety of industrial transformers at RS and the right one for you depends on your application. These fall into different categories of transformers, including the following:

• Control transformers: These are used to step up or step down the voltage of AC current. They provide power to the control system of electrical equipment and power supplies and convert the voltage needed to supply industrial control circuits and motor control loads.
• Power transformers: This type of industrial transformer is widely used in power supply and electronics Their main functions include power transmission and voltage conversion.

What sectors use industrial transformers?

Industrial transformers have an important role in a variety of industry sectors. Some of these include:

• Transport:Industrial transformers are used to monitor and control the voltage of electricity used for charging the batteries of electric vehicles. Innovations in the industry mean that specialized transformers can charge multiple electric cars at one time.
• Steel manufacturing:Transformer machinery is used during steel manufacturing to ensure safe high voltage These transformers are designed to sustain the extreme mechanical and thermal pressures of steel furnaces.
• Electrochemical: Electroplating on elements like copper, zinc, and aluminum is a common process in the electrochemical industry. Industrial transformers allow electrolysis to be conducted safely and efficiently.
