Test Transformer Design

Power Transformers

Specifying transformers is not always an easy task for unique applications. There are many variations when designing transformers for specific applications. Over the last 35 years our team has manufactured thousands of transformers which vary in application. This has given us a great deal of experience when designing test transformers. We have worked with the leading universities in the UK to design unique testing and research applications.  

Our team understand that most university projects require a complex problem to be solved, so our team can offer free advice from design through to production. For research and test applications our design team can provide full design data and drawings to aid the design process. When designing a transformer there are many elements to consider. The correct choice of lamination, transformer connections and transformer size and heat restrictions. This is to name just a few.

Our test transformers all conform to BS EN61558 and EN 60076 standards. Also, our procedures and quality controls are independently monitored to BS EN ISO 9001:2000

Case studies

8000A Transformer

To manufacture an open style transformer designed to offer the customer 8000A at 9 volts. Our design team were required to design the transformer to be built on a moveable unit which would allow the operator the facility to move the transformer into place when testing equipment.

72kVA Testing transformer


We were tasked by a motor manufacturer to design a test unit which required our team to design a system with a 72kVA transformer and a drive to offer the facility for the operator to change the voltage, current and frequency. The unit was designed and manufactured within a stainless steel enclosure with a user control panel to offer ease of use.

10.5kW Transformer

Our engineering team were tasked to design a 10.5KW enclosed transformer, with the ability to vary the voltage manually. The customer required the facility to test their equipment at different set voltages for different periods of time. The transformer was designed so the user could easily connect the transformer to their equipment through a bus bar system.
