What we buy
What we buy here
At 112.5 kVA, the difference between a single-phase and a three-phase unit is the difference between a can and a cabinet. We weigh when a number sits close to a permit threshold, because guessing on a bridge is not a strategy.

Rating
What a 112.5 kVA transformer is used for
In a commercial building or a small industrial service work a 112.5 kVA unit is often the service transformer rather than a process transformer. A station service transformer is unglamorous, critical and usually much older than the station it serves.
A bushing with a cracked porcelain skirt fails a visual inspection before it fails electrically. A transformer that has run at a steady percentage of nameplate usually has cleaner oil than one that cycled hard.
Size, weight and handling
A trailer needs somewhere to stand, and the place it stands is rarely the place the site had in mind. A permit names a route, and the route is chosen around bridges rather than around distance.
A second pair of eyes on the access route is worth more than a second opinion on the paint. A vault removal needs ventilation, a rigging plan and a street that can be closed for an afternoon.
What we check on a 112.5 kVA unit
A transformer that has been re-gasketed and re-painted is not automatically a good unit, and sometimes the paint is hiding a leak that was never fixed. A test taken before the unit is moved is worth more than one taken after, because the move disturbs the oil.
A sample taken from the bottom drain after the unit has stood is worth more than one taken in a hurry. A transformer that has run at a steady percentage of nameplate for years usually has clean oil, whatever its age.
What it is worth
Two units of the same age can be worth very different amounts, and the difference is usually the tap changer. A buyer who explains a low number honestly is more useful than one who agrees with everything.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
How much does a 112.5 kVA transformer weigh?
Nothing sits in our queue for a week waiting for approval, because the buyer who quotes you also books the crew. Rigging weight, shipping weight and operating weight are three different numbers and only one of them belongs on a permit. A unit substation is convenient in service and awkward to move, because the sections are bolted together.
Service area
Do you buy a single 112.5 kVA unit?
A mixed lot takes longer than a single unit because every tag has to be read, but it still moves in days rather than months. Answers come back the same day in most cases, and the truck is scheduled the moment the paperwork is signed. A short drive within one county costs less than a long drive across three, and the number shows it.
Payment
What if the 112.5 kVA unit has failed?
Most units leave within a week of the number being agreed, and a unit that has to clear a site by Friday can usually be gone by Friday. A three-phase padmount that has been sitting with the bushings open is a teardown more often than not, because water gets in and stays. A seller with a deadline should say so early, because the schedule is built around the date rather than the unit.
