Measured in kVA (kilovolt-amperes) or MVA (megavolt-amperes).
Before purchasing, transformers must be categorized to determine their secondary market value:
Units containing high-quality mineral oil may have higher value, provided they are PCB-free. 3. Compliance & Environmental Safety This is the most critical phase of the acquisition process:
A "Certified Laboratory Report" or a visible "Non-PCB" manufacturer’s label is required.
All oil-filled transformers must be tested for Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs). We only purchase "Non-PCB" units (typically <50 ppm) unless specialized for hazardous waste disposal.
This report outlines the standard operating procedures, market value drivers, and logistical requirements for a "We Buy Used Transformers" procurement program.
Coordination of flatbed or heavy-haul trucking based on the weight and dimensions of the unit. Conclusion
Evaluation of whether the unit requires heavy-duty cranes or specialized forklifts for removal.
