Single Phase Overhead Distribution Transformer Step-up / Step-Down Transformer

Silverstone Electric step-up/step-down transformer is a two winding transformer, specifically designed to transform between two different distribution-class voltages or to isolate between similar distribution-class voltages. Two-winding construction along with the use of full-width sheet secondary windings produces a unit with fault duty capabilities exceeding that of an autotransformer.
