How To Order Transformer



How To Order Transformer

To order transformer, please be absolutely very clear on what you want. If you have already a sample in mind, it’s even better, just send us the details. There are so many variations to the application of transformers. So, if you want to order transformer, we need to understand what you will use it for so that there is no miscommunication. 

Once it is made, there is not turning back unless to spend more resource and money to discard the original design and remake another one. Maybe the core can be salvaged. It will not be definite.
Here is how the processes go:

  • Provide the detail specifications of your transformer.
  • Obtain price quotation from us.
  • If OK, make payment.
  • Once payment is confirmed, work shall start immediately.
  • It usually takes 1 to 2 weeks to complete a standard order, longer if it is repair work or higher volume orders.
  • It comes with 1 year warranty. Once sold considered final. You can change the design after it is being built, additional charges apply.


We usually do not keep ready-made stocks unless listed in our website as surplus or extras since all our transformers are made to order. Please do not question our quality. We use genuine Japanese Z11 core. The cost of this better efficiency core alone is already many times the other inferior cores others use, not to mention the meticulously wound windings. Winding 1 transformer takes almost 1 day. Therefore it is worth every penny you invested on it.

If you have used, damaged, burnt and various transformers for restoration, please email us the picture and details before sending the transformers over for price estimation and pre-evaluation to ensure your satisfaction. 

We are using imported Japanese Z11 transformer cores, hand wound to perfection. The quality and safety are many times better than those H50 or H18 core wound by machines. There is just no fight between ours versus those alternatives out there. 

If you need Western Electric cores for your projects, we can do it too. Since we do not keep stock of the W.E. cores, you will have to supply us and we will wind it to your specifications, well, if the cores are up to the job and the laminations are still in good conditions. We cannot salvage those that are heavily damaged or oxidized. We’re not superman. 

We wind the transformers layer by layer, insulated by insulation film / paper per layer. For output taps, they will be insulated again for double safeties. These processes take time and are costly to make. We seldom see that nowadays on the generic transformers sold outside. Without such insulation, the lifespan of the transformer will be shorter. Coupled with non-soaked with varnish transformers, it will look new but the quality will not be there. 

If you are unsatisfied with your current transformers even if they’re not defective, be it too hot or waste too much power, get them all overhauled and replaced with high quality Z11 transformers. You will enjoy a cooler, safer and better system!

Our transformers are made with some reserves too just in case some overloading happens; it still will not break easily. Although so, do not order the transformers with such in mind. It is meant for your convenience, not as a design consideration. We cannot guarantee if you deliberately do so. It is your own wrong doings. 

Using low quality transformer is just like burning money! Do it right the 1st time, and do not save on what you should spend on. We do not compete in price wars. You are absolutely welcome to buy from others if they’re cheaper than ours. What we offer is technical competency, professionalism and excellent products. We truly believe that what you pay is what you get! There is no free lunch.
Properly aligned winding, every layer is insulated.

Quality is our motto! The one all can trust!
