Pad Mounted Transformer
A pad-mounted transformer is a ground-level electrical distribution unit enclosed in a weatherproof, tamper-resistant cabinet, commonly used in residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, and renewable energy projects. Designed for underground power systems, it safely steps down high-voltage electricity to usable levels (e.g., 13.8kV to 120/240V) while minimizing visual impact and environmental risks. Modern 2025 models integrate smart sensors for real-time load monitoring, corrosion-resistant materials for coastal/humid climates, and compatibility with solar/storage microgrids, making them a critical component of urban infrastructure and energy transition plans.
