Re: [TCML] Pole Transformers for sale



Dave,

Yes, I think that T&R quit selling their transformers to non-corporate entities. Lot's of legal liability when you start selling potentially fatal devices to individuals whom are totally unqualified to mess with said dangerous device.

David,

What ever happened to T & R Electric?  Awhile
back, I'm astounded to see that it was in 2002, I
purchased a 5 KVA pig from them for $199,
delivered.  They had their own truck and driver
that traveled America's highways dropping off
transformers along the way, sort of like Johnny
Appleseed.  I see that they still have an active
web site so it might be worth a shot.  Of course
their corporate philosophy toward dispensing
dangerous hardware to rank amateurs may have
changed in the succeeding 16 years.

Try keeping an eye on eBay. Occasionally, a nice deal on a smaller pole pig, or sometimes even a PT, will show up on eBay from time to time. There's just about always oversized ones list on there (or very over priced ones when it come to PTs), but with perseverance, sometimes a real deal will show up. I recently obtained a 3 kVA rated 155:1 (18.6 kV) PT for $75 off of eBay. The only caveat was that at 225 lbs (+ the weight of the shipping pallet), it cost me just over $200 to ship it, but still <$300 total invested into a real beast of a dry type potentital transformer is a decent deal. Also, although it's probably been some 20 years ago now, I seem to recall someone, probably on this list, mentioning that they could get them for a reasopnable cost from the local electrical utility company in the Denver area.? Maybe check into that?

H�]TH[HH�[��YHY^\TH�\�[zH�^H@ could have them ship the
smallest Kva unit they have but not a chance. I live in Colorado Springs so there's no chance fo me to pick one up. I'm looking for a really small unit from 1 to 5 Kva. Looks like I'll never get to have a pole pig coil.
