Here at R Baker (Electrical) Ltd, with over a quarter of a century's expertise in military servicing, we have the knowledge necessary to deliver the electrical projects which others turn away.
All of our products pass through our quality control system, and are tested to the highest standards using state-of-the-art equipment. Our investment in new methods and technologies allows us to offer expert reliability when repairing or manufacturing any new products.
Defence Transformers
All of the military transformers (NSN / NATO) which we manufacture and repair for defence applications fully comply with the shock and vibration requirements of NES 501 and DEF STAN 02-535. Our type tests also include self-induced vibration and EMC requirements for military vessels, and selected products have been shock tested by an MOD approved agency (QinetiQ).
Transformers are hard mounted to bulkheads and decks, and do not require shock mounts. All equipment is manufactured to a minimum of IP23 of BS60529 and to Cat.2 Shock Grade C. Units are naturally air-cooled, and mounted in IP rated enclosures.
For more information please see our transformer range.
