Single-Phase Pole Mounted Transformers

Pole-mounted Transformers Feature

Purpose:

Voltage Transformation: Single-phase pole-mounted transformers are used to transform voltage from one level to another, typically stepping down the voltage for distribution to homes and businesses.
Distribution: They are a common component in the distribution network, helping to provide the appropriate voltage levels for end-users.
Mounting:

As the name suggests, these transformers are mounted on utility poles. This allows them to be positioned conveniently along power distribution lines, reducing the need for large structures or dedicated substations.
Construction:

The transformers are housed in weather-resistant enclosures to protect them from environmental factors such as rain, snow, and sunlight.
Cooling may be achieved through natural convection or with the help of cooling fins to dissipate heat.
Phases:

Single-phase transformers handle power in a single alternating current (AC) waveform. In contrast, three-phase transformers handle three AC waveforms and are often used in larger industrial settings.
Capacity:

Single-phase pole-mounted transformers come in various capacities, ranging from a few kilovolt-amperes (kVA) to several tens of kVA, depending on the specific requirements of the distribution area.
