Distribution Transformer RFQ

Request quotes for utility distribution transformers, pole-mounted transformers, single-phase and three-phase pad-mounted transformers, underground residential distribution (URD) transformers, conventional and self-protected (CSP) designs, loop-feed and radial pad-mounted units, and replacement distribution transformers for utility, cooperative, commercial, and residential applications.

Complete only the fields you know. If you have a utility specification, nameplate data from a failed unit, one-line diagram, pad plan, load data, or equipment list, upload it near the end of this form.

Distribution Transformer RFQ Intake

This form is built for electric utilities, rural electric cooperatives, municipal utilities, commercial developers, electrical contractors, EPCs, and facility owners sourcing distribution transformers for new service, load growth, planned replacement, and storm restoration programs.

  • Single-phase and three-phase, pole-mounted and pad-mounted, and underground residential distribution (URD) transformer types
  • kVA rating, primary voltage, secondary voltage and configuration, fluid type, BIL, taps, and efficiency standard
  • Bushing and termination type, accessories, enclosure class, surge arresters, fusing, and metering provisions
  • Standards (ANSI/IEEE C57.12 series, DOE 2016), test requirements, delivery, and commercial scope

For Electric Utilities and Cooperatives

Capture kVA rating, primary voltage, secondary voltage and configuration, fluid type, bushing arrangement, surge arrester requirements, DOE 2016 efficiency compliance, and utility equipment specification compliance for pole-mounted and pad-mounted distribution transformers.

For Commercial and Residential Development

Support pad-mounted deadfront transformer specifications for underground service to commercial buildings, subdivisions, and industrial facilities — including loop-feed vs. radial configuration, ANSI enclosure class, sectionalizing switch, and metering provisions.

For Storm Restoration and Emergency Replacement

Collect nameplate data from the failed unit, voltage and kVA requirements, bushing type, and delivery urgency. Emergency and storm restoration stock orders should specify lead time requirements and whether surplus units are acceptable.

Utility Transformers

1. Transformer Type and Service Scope

Select the distribution transformer type and configuration. Distribution transformers step voltage down from primary distribution levels (2.4 kV to 34.5 kV) to utilization voltages (120/240 V, 120/208 V, 277/480 V) for residential, commercial, and industrial service.

Fluid Type

2. Application, Installation, and Project Type

Identify the service type, load, and project context. Distribution transformer selection depends on primary voltage, secondary service configuration, load type, and whether it is a new service or a like-for-like replacement.

Primary Application

3. Electrical Ratings and Transformer Requirements

Provide the key electrical ratings. Distribution transformer ratings are defined by kVA, primary voltage, secondary voltage, and service configuration. Specify as much as you know — suppliers can assist with sizing if you provide load data.

Key Ratings Required
Efficiency Requirements

4. Construction, Accessories, Bushing Arrangement, and Site Conditions

Specify construction features, accessories, bushing arrangement, and site or environmental conditions. Distribution transformers serving utility and commercial applications have specific requirements for bushings, lightning protection, metering provisions, and installation environment.

Construction and Accessory Requirements

5. Standards, Testing, Documentation, and Approval Requirements

Select applicable standards, certifications, test requirements, and approval procedures. Utility distribution transformers are typically specified to ANSI/IEEE C57.12 series standards.

Standards / Testing / Documentation

6. Implementation, Support, Warranty, and Commercial Scope

Identify delivery, installation, startup, training, support, and commercial requirements.

Commercial Scope

7. Contact, Delivery, Uploads, and Notes

Support Required

Upload specifications, one-line diagrams, nameplates, photos, drawings, test reports, utility standards, RFP documents, or site requirements.
