Navigating through an extensive inventory of machinery and equipment can be a daunting task without effective search functionalities. While numerous industry counterparts offer various online search tools, these often fall short, leaving users dissatisfied due to their restricted search options. At Surplus Record, we’ve refined our approach to ensure you swiftly locate the precise equipment you’re searching for.
Transformers play a crucial role in the manufacturing sector by adapting the supplied power to match the voltage needs of diverse machinery and equipment, facilitating secure and effective functioning. Surplus Record boasts an impressive selection of more than 5,000 transformers, encompassing a variety of types, dimensions, and purposes. Our advanced search tool enables you to immediately explore all available transformers, simplifying the process of finding and connecting with sellers to acquire the specific transformer required for your operations.
How to Use the Advanced Transformer Search Tool
You can navigate directly to the Advanced Transformer Search via the link located in our main navigation menu, under “Categories”.
- Once you’re on the Advanced Transformer Search page, you’ll be presented with a series of fields with which you can filter and provide additional information in order to narrow down your search. Note that all fields are optional, as you may not know all the specifics about the transformer in question.
- Begin your search by selecting one or multiple transformer categories under Three Phase Transformers or Single Phase Transformers.
- Specify whether you’re searching by kVA or mVA (note: 1000 kVA = 1 mVA).
- Required: enter a range for the kVA/mVA on the low side and high side (i.e.: you can enter 50 kVA on the low and 75 kVA on the high to view a range of transformers that fall within that voltage range).
- After you enter in a kVA/mVA range, you can click “Show Transformers” to view all of the transformers that fall within that range regardless of their primary voltage (High Voltage) or secondary voltage (Low Voltage).
- From here, you can choose one or multiple primary/secondary voltages to further narrow down your search.
How to Make the Most of the Search
- Specify the correct parameters: Our transformer search allows you to locate various types of three phase and single phase transformers.
- The “60 Hz Three Phase Transformers” contains every kind of three phase transformer under the sun, such as dry, oil, step-up/step-down, distribution, etc. The exception is padmount transformers, which are classified under “60 Hz Three Phase Padmount Transformers”.
- Similar logic applies to 60 Hz Single Phase Transformers, except Padmount and Pole Mount Transformers, which are called out in their own categories, which you can specifically search.
- Use the correct range: The upper and lower limits of kVA/mVA let you find transformers that fall between both values. It’s recommended that you start your search looking at the range for kVA/mVA and reviewing the results first before further narrowing down your research using primary or secondary volts filters.
- Send Multiple RFQs At Once: You can add up to 10 listings and submit them to dealers at one time. Click on the “Add to RFQs” checkbox on any listing to add it to your RFQ list. When you are ready to submit your RFQs, click on the “Submit RFQs” button below the list or at the bottom of the page.
- Contact The Seller: In your search results, you can either click “Contact Seller” to the right of the transformer listing to get in contact with the transformer seller right away, or click on the transformer listing title to view more details for the transformer.
In rare cases when there are no results that match your search parameters, you can submit a Wanted Request that will go to dealers that specialize in transformers and will most likely have your transformer in stock but are just not advertising it online right now (make sure you select “Transformers” under “Industries” in the Wanted form).
