Custom Bus Work

When Custom Bus Work May Be Needed

Custom Bus Work is often needed in the following situations:

• You are replacing an old transformer with a new one. Replacing your transformer with a different or newer model can prove costly because it may require you to rework all the connections to and from the transformer.  This becomes an urgent problem in emergency replacement situations, where a few additional hours of downtime can exceed the price of a new transformer
• You are upgrading your facility’s power capacity. When your plant or facility needs to increase energy production or capacity, or you need to replace an existing dry type, you may have to alter infrastructure to meet your goals. To save money while upgrading, many facility managers turn to new retrofit transformers. These custom systems can provide greater power capacity while maintaining the connections and dimensions of the original

At ELSCO Transformers, we can provide custom bus work for our dry type transformers in replacement or retrofit applications. For a perfect fit, our staff will make sure the new low voltage bus bars line up with your facility’s existing low voltage gear and include any necessary high voltage cabling to the high voltage gear. When you provide the specifications, we can equip your ELSCO medium-voltage dry type transformer with the right bus bar arrangement for your applications and ship the transformer with the bus bars in place.  We guarantee a perfect fit to your specs.
