Your transformers. Your way. 69kV-230kV transformers in half the time of an OEM.

Remanufacture Your Substation Transformer

Why Remanufacturing Wins

Get your transformers in half the time OEMs can deliver


“They don’t make ‘em like they used to.” Your substation transformer is valuable. Don’t throw that away: remanufacture, reuse, and save. In the 20th century, substation transformers were designed with reliability in mind—thick steel tanks, spacious tank interiors, and plenty of copper. This “greater design margin” approach kept substation transformers running cooler, extending their life expectancy. Solid, older substation transformers are the key to remanufacturing America’s power grid to be stronger than ever.

At Jordan Transformer, we specialize in rewinding and remanufacturing your substation transformers with base ratings from 10MVA-80MVA and 69kV-230kV with complete Class II IEEE testing.

  • Winding room environmentally controlled 
    • 9 specialized winding machines with an 80-ton and 200-ton coil sizing apparatus
  • Core and coil assembly room temperature controlled  
  • Drying oven for completed coil assemblies 
  • Drying oven for completed core and coil assemblies 
  • Sandblasting booth, external dedicated building 
  • 8 separate oil tanks (total 40,000-gallon oil farm)
  • 8 storage buildings for components in waiting 
  • 13 cranes and hoists
