Custom power transformers

[Reid Malenfant]

Hi good AoS members

I'm looking for transformer manufacturers that take on custom work, or if you like build transformers to my specifications

So far i have looked at Airlink Transformers who definately look like they could cater for my needs with some nice big toroids, i have also found a place about a mile from my house that can also make custom transformers. The problem being here is they'll be standard E & I transformers & thus at 2KVA they'll be kind of heavy These might be ideal though as i could pick them up once built rather than having them couriered to me. They also look like they could be a better price as well

I'm sure that 6 (six) 2000VA transformers are going to be bloody heavy whether they are toroids or not, but as i'd rather use toroids i'm open to other suggestions before i go ahead & do anything

I'm in no rush, if anyone can think of anywhere then please chirp up

Before anyone mentions Antrim Transformers they might like to have a go at navigating their site

Faster than an electric flash of a shorted secondary winding

Many thanks Richard Looks interesting & probably worth considering having had a quick read

No harm in asking for a quote

I like to use Avel Lindberg

I'm surprised no-one so far has mentioned Sowter: http://www.sowter.co.uk/

Six 2000VA trannies - what the hell are you building, Mark, an amp with which to arc weld?

Looks like another possibilty, thanks Andr'e Only thing is their standard range only goes up to 1KVA, bigger might be quite a bit more expensive

I'll take a look at Sowter in a second, thanks Marco

@ welding, no i'm going to make 6 amplifiers & equip each with a big transformer We all know that a big PSU does a better job, just look at the Techie driven by an SR5

As they say in America about their cars "there ain't no substitute for cubes"

Tiger Toroids

If you tell them it is for audio, thay can add mechanically stabilised core and additional wrapping between primary and secondary coils.
They will build toroids up to 6KVA.

Thanks Andy I honestly don't think i'd like to handle a 6KVA transformer, my Krell KSA250 has a 4.5KVA & it weighs about 85lbs

Definately looks like another worth contacting for a quote


You guys are great, frankly i didn't know there were so many manufacturers out there, i'll be spoilt for choice soon

You got it in one Alex, the PSU is the engine! Give it a small one & don't expect the best performance

Aye, just like yer 'tadger'!
