What we buy
What we buy here
A 75 kVA transformer that has been sitting as a spare is often the best unit left on a site. We weigh when a number sits close to a permit threshold, because guessing on a bridge is not a strategy.

| Typical use | a small office, a restaurant or a light industrial service |
| Common form | three-phase padmount |

- 01

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.
- 05
Testing on arrival
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.
- 06

PCB paperwork
Pre-1979 units get the testing and the manifest they need.
Rating
What a 75 kVA transformer is used for
A 75 kVA unit usually serves a load measured in hundreds of horsepower rather than thousands. A marine unit corrodes at the enclosure long before the winding notices, so the cabinet is the first inspection.
Pole units are the cheapest transformers in any surplus list and the easiest to move, which makes them a good first purchase. A nameplate answers six questions at once, which is why it is the first thing photographed.
Size, weight and handling
Ground bearing is the question a crane operator asks first and the site answers last. A river terminal changes the arithmetic on a very large unit, because barge transport avoids the bridges.
A deduction agreed before the lift is a negotiation, and a deduction after it is an argument. A tornado moves the building rather than the transformer, so access becomes the constraint.
What we check on a 75 kVA unit
We look for evidence of overload, because a unit that ran hot for years shows it in the paint on the tank and the colour of the oil. Nobody has ever regretted testing the oil before agreeing a number, and plenty of people have regretted skipping it.
A sample bottle that has been sitting in a truck since Tuesday is not a sample, it is a guess. Contamination is a legal question before it is an electrical one, and the handling path changes completely.
What it is worth
The gap between scrap value and resale value is the whole reason a buying desk exists. A clean oil test moves a number up faster than a new coat of paint ever will.
An overstock sale is where matching sets appear, and a matching set is worth more than the units bought one at a time. A transformer sold as equipment keeps its documentation chain, and that chain has value to the next owner.

Questions
What sellers ask before they call
Equipment types
How much does a 75 kVA transformer weigh?
There is no pressure to accept on the call; the number holds for a set period and you can test it against another buyer. Weight is the first logistics question, and the figure on the tag is not the figure the crane needs, because oil, bushings and skid weight all add up. The order of work is always the same: look, measure, test, agree, lift, pay.
Service area
Do you buy a single 75 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. 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 substation unit is a project rather than a purchase, and it should be planned like one.
Payment
What if the 75 kVA unit has failed?
Sellers who send all four photographs in the first message usually have a number the same morning. A three-phase padmount that failed a high-potential test is a teardown candidate, but the tank and the core often outlive the winding. A site visit answers in twenty minutes what a week of messages cannot.
