Market Definition
Distribution transformers are a specialized type of electrical transformer engineered to lower the voltage of electricity from medium or high voltage transmission lines to the lower voltage levels required in distribution networks. These networks directly supply electricity to end users, including residential homes, commercial establishments, and industrial facilities. Typically, distribution transformers operate with a primary voltage below 35 kilovolts (kV) and provide a secondary voltage suitable for end-user applications, typically ranging from 240 volts (V) to 480V. Their primary role is to ensure the safe and efficient transmission of electrical power by reducing the voltage to levels suitable for use. Distribution transformers are integral components of the power distribution infrastructure, serving as the crucial link between the high-voltage transmission network and the low-voltage distribution network that serves individual consumers.
