With a robust export footprint across North and South America, including Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, we provide excellent value for medium-voltage power distribution solutions.
500 kVA Pad Mount Transformer Price
While “cost” refers to the overall investment, the “price” of a 500 kVA pad mount transformer often denotes market rates for standard units. Prices can vary based on design (radial or loop feed), voltage class (e.g., 13.2 kV to 480Y/277V), and regional regulations. Energy Transformer offers transparent pricing models and customized quotes based on client specifications. As a certified manufacturer serving international markets, our products are trusted by electrical contractors, developers, and utilities in the U.S., Canada, Spain, and Brazil.
500 kVA Pad Mount Transformer Weight
Weight is a key factor when transporting, lifting, or placing pad-mounted transformers, especially in infrastructure or renewable energy projects. The typical weight of a 500 kVA pad mount transformer ranges between 1700 to 2200 kilograms depending on materials used (copper vs. aluminum windings), enclosure type, and accessories. Energy Transformer ensures an ideal balance between performance and portability. Built in our state-of-the-art Chinese facility, each transformer is optimized for long service life and easy deployment across diverse terrains in North and South America.
