What we buy
What we buy here
At 300 kVA, the difference between a single-phase and a three-phase unit is the difference between a can and a cabinet. Rigging weight, shipping weight and operating weight are three different numbers and only one of them belongs on a permit.
| Wet weight | about 2,400 pounds |
|---|---|
| Typical use | a small industrial process or a commercial campus building |
| Common form | three-phase padmount or dry-type |
| Why sellers call | Three hundred kVA units sit in the range where a plant can still handle the move itself and often does not. |

The nameplate, the cabinet interior and the tank in daylight. Three photographs are usually enough to place a unit in the right class and the right price band.

The form on this page, a text or an email all reach the same desk. Include the city, the access and any deadline the site is working to.
- 03
Review the offer
A buyer reads the photographs, asks one or two questions and sends a written offer with the assumptions stated, so nothing changes on the day.
- 04
We schedule freight
Crane, flatbed and permits are booked around your access. You get a date and a window, and we carry the cost of getting it right.

Winding resistance, megger and turns ratio, plus oil analysis where the unit is liquid filled. The results decide the final number, and you see them.

Rating
What a 300 kVA transformer is used for
300 kVA is the size that turns up behind a small industrial service, a strip centre, a school or a water plant. A cooling class with dead fans is a smaller transformer wearing a larger nameplate.
The photograph of the nameplate is worth more than a page of description, and it takes about four seconds to take. Phase loss damage is often confined to one winding, which makes the unit a rebuild candidate rather than scrap.
Size, weight and handling
The most common cause of a low offer is a missing nameplate, and the second most common is a missing access route. A gate that is four inches too narrow turns a morning into a week.
A crew that has worked the county before knows which road floods and which bridge is closed for repair. A unit in a yard with a wide gate and a flat approach is worth more than the same unit behind a fence.
What we check on a 300 kVA unit
We grade on the core, the coil, the tank and the bushings rather than on cosmetics, because a faded cabinet with a clean core beats a painted one with a wet tank. A contaminated unit enters a regulated path, and the documentation changes from equipment to waste.
A sample taken from the bottom drain after the unit has stood is worth more than one taken in a hurry. A unit that has been flooded is a teardown inspection rather than a purchase, and the oil analysis is what decides it.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
How much does a 300 kVA transformer weigh?
The process runs on one call and one look: describe the unit, send the tag, agree a number, and put a date on the truck. Overweight is a permit problem before it is a crane problem, and Ohio scales are not forgiving. A seller with a deadline should say so early, because the schedule is built around the date rather than the unit.
Service area
Do you buy a single 300 kVA unit?
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. We work to your deadline rather than ours, which is why the first question is when the site has to be clear. A seller who sends four photographs at the start usually gets a decision the same day.
Payment
What if the 300 kVA unit has failed?
You will not be handed to a call centre. The person who answers the phone is the person who decides whether we buy. We separate the copper, the core steel, the oil and the hardware, and the arithmetic of a three-phase padmount teardown is not a secret. A buyer who has seen the site will always beat a buyer who has only seen a form, which is why the visit is free.
