- No sacrifice in quality or life expectancy and all transformers are upgraded in design to today’s short circuit standards.
What repair options can you offer for a failed transformer with rectangular core & coil design?
A. Jordan Transformer can “convert” some transformers to circular core & coil design with all new core steel and new disc windings. Our clients have found this to be an excellent option. We have done more than 25 “rectangular to circular” core & coil conversions.
Do you buy surplus transformers?
A. No, we remanufacture your substation power transformers that are failed or gassing.
Do you work on furnace transformers and rectifiers?
A. Yes - we are experts with both.
