Padmount Transformers in Canada

Three-phase pad-mounted distribution transformers for commercial, industrial and underground distribution — stocked and shipped Canada-wide.

Purcee Industrial Power supplies padmount transformers across Canada. As the exclusive Canadian distributor of Yawei transformers, we stock, configure and ship three-phase pad-mounted distribution transformers for commercial developments, industrial sites, campuses and utility underground distribution — from our Foothills, Alberta head office.

Pad-mounted transformers sit on a concrete pad with no exposed live parts (dead-front), making them safe and tamper-resistant for public and commercial settings. We help specify the right kVA, voltage, feed arrangement and connector type, then deliver with coordinated nationwide logistics.

Overview

What is a padmount transformer?

A padmount (pad-mounted) transformer is a ground-level, locked, tamper-resistant distribution transformer mounted on a concrete pad and fed from an underground primary. With a dead-front design and no exposed conductors, padmount transformers are the standard choice for commercial complexes, subdivisions, data centres, campuses and industrial parks.

For three-phase pad-mounted distribution transformers built to the Canadian standard with separable insulated high-voltage connectors, see our CSA C227.4 transformers page. We help confirm loop- or radial-feed, voltage class and connector requirements for your site.
