Pole-mounted transformers are essential components in electrical distribution systems, commonly used to step down high voltage to a lower voltage suitable for residential and commercial use. Here is some technical information about pole-mounted transformers:
Transformer Types:
- Single-Phase Transformers: Typically used for residential applications, providing 120/240V split-phase output.
- Three-Phase Transformers: Used for commercial and industrial applications, providing three-phase output at various voltage levels.
Voltage Ratings:
- Primary Voltage: The high-voltage side of the transformer is typically rated for 7.2 kV, 12.47 kV, or 24.9 kV, depending on the distribution system.
- Secondary Voltage: The low-voltage side usually provides 120/240V in the case of single-phase transformers and various voltages for three-phase transformers, depending on the application.
