Waukesha® power transformers have earned a reputation for quality and are custom designed to meet specific customer requirements. This process begins by accessing design data from one of the industrys largest computer-based libraries. Hundreds of alternative core and coil configurations are reviewed for each proposal, allowing SPX Waukesha engineers in Wisconsin and North Carolina the opportunity to select the optimum electrical design that will satisfy a customer's individual needs. Other programs then plot the forces that a coil will experience during a short circuit, helping to optimize the mechanical design. Computer data also furnishes precise information on flux density, conductor size, cooling requirements, dielectric characteristics, power losses and more.
Combined with SPX Waukeshas more than 40 years of transformer manufacturing and engineering history, these design tools help ensure every Waukesha® transformer provides consistent, dependable performance and long service life.
