What Is a 112.5 kVA Pad Mounted Transformer?
A pad mounted transformer sits on a concrete pad at ground level. It takes medium-voltage power from the utility — usually somewhere between 2.4 kV and 34.5 kV — and steps it down to a lower voltage that buildings and equipment can actually use.
The 112.5 kVA version is on the smaller end of three-phase pad mounted transformers. That’s not a weakness — it just means it’s sized for projects where the load demand is moderate and you don’t need more capacity than the job actually calls for. The steel enclosure locks shut, so there are no exposed live parts. That matters when the unit is going into a publicly accessible location.
Inside, it uses a cold-rolled silicon steel core and copper windings. The mineral oil handles both insulation and cooling. No external ventilation needed, which makes installation simpler.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 112.5 kVA three phase pad mounted transformer used for?
It steps down medium-voltage utility power to a usable low voltage — typically for small commercial buildings, residential developments, schools, clinics, or light industrial connections. It’s one of the more common entry-level capacities for projects that need three-phase outdoor distribution without going into heavy industrial territory.
Is 112.5 kVA enough for a small commercial building?
For most small commercial buildings with moderate loads — retail units, small offices, mixed-use spaces — yes, it’s a workable size. Where it starts to fall short is when you have heavy HVAC, large motors, or expect the load to grow significantly. In that case, 150 kVA or 225 kVA is worth looking at. If you send us a rough load list, we can give you a straight answer.
What primary and secondary voltage options are available?
Primary voltage runs from 2.4 kV to 34.5 kV — covers most utility grid voltages in North America and other markets. Standard secondary voltages are 208Y/120V, 240V, and 480V. Other combinations are possible. Just let us know what your grid supplies and what voltage you need at the output end.
Can the transformer be customized?
Yes. Options include primary and secondary voltage, tap range, connection type (Dyn11, YNyn0, and others), winding material (copper or aluminum), oil type (mineral or vegetable), enclosure color, and nameplate language. Single units and project quantities are both fine.
What standards does this transformer meet?
Manufactured to ANSI/IEEE C57.12.00 and C57.12.34 for three-phase pad mounted distribution transformers. The enclosure meets ANSI/IEEE C57.12.28. We can also produce to IEC 60076 if your project is outside North America. CE documentation is available.
How do I get a quote from a pad mounted transformer supplier in China?
We keep the process straightforward. Send us the rated capacity (112.5 kVA), primary and secondary voltage, quantity, installation country, and any standard or certification requirements. We’ll respond within 24 hours with a configuration and price. No complicated forms — just the basics to get started.
