Replacement / retrofit

A transformer that failed or is at end of life? That's our ground

Failure, repeated summer tripping, an obsolete unit or a load that has grown : give us the rating plate and the room constraints, and we return an equivalent or better-sized unit, Tier 2 compliant, delivered price with transport included, with a single contact. Controlled 15–18 week lead time.

Lead time

The market is jammed.
Your project doesn't have to be.

Since 2021, procurement times for grid components have almost doubled: the International Energy Agency reports up to four years for a large power transformer, with prices up around 75%. Data centers, renewables, grid reinforcement, electric mobility: everyone is ordering at once, from the same production lines. The result: lead time has become the first purchasing criterion, ahead of price.

In France the squeeze is structural. The distribution system operator plans to move from 15,000 to 20,000 distribution substations installed per year by 2027, and lifted its industrial purchasing to €4.5 billion in 2025, roughly 35% above 2022. That demand takes first call on European production capacity; private projects queue behind it.

Orders of magnitude for custom distribution transformers; actual figures vary by segment, manufacturer and configuration. Market context: IEA, Building the Future Transmission Grid (2025); France figures: Enedis investment programme and industrial purchasing (2025). Our lead time is delivered to site, shipping and formalities included, not ex-works.

How we hold that lead time

No magic: building a transformer takes a few weeks. It is everything around it that stretches, and that is what our model is built on.

Standardised ranges

From 100 to 3,150 kVA, our ranges avoid re-engineering on every order. The base design is done: only your specification has to be integrated.

Slot reserved at order

No queue behind saturated order books: capacity is planned at our partner factories, and your production slot is fixed when you order.

Integrated logistics

Manufacturing, acceptance testing and shipping run end to end, right to your site. One point of contact, one lead time: the delivered one.

And when it isn't possible, we say so. A special configuration or an HV substation has its own schedule: announced in the quotation, never discovered along the way.

Start with a part, not a whole project

You don't need a full transformer to work with us. A bushing, a DGPT2 relay, a set of gaskets for your existing fleet, any brand: identified from a reference or a nameplate photo, quoted and delivered fast. It's the easiest way to try us, same rigour, same single contact, reply within 48 h.

Cast resin · dry type

The format European projects ask for most

No flammable liquid, indoor installation, lighter maintenance: the dry-type transformer has become the default choice for data centers, public buildings and sensitive sites across France and the EU. We supply it bare or inside an IP-rated metal enclosure. See the cast-resin range →

Sectors

Where electrical demand is exploding

Data centers & IT (K-rated designs for non-linear loads) · Solar and wind (step-up units, bidirectional flow, evacuation substations) · Battery storage and EV charging hubs · Industry and grid operators. Each sector has its constraints, we design for them, not around them.

Warranty & after-sales

Guaranteed, delivered, supported, with no middleman

Equipment built far away should not leave you on your own if something goes wrong. A contractual warranty, a delivered price with transport included, and a single point of contact that replies within 48 h, with no redirection to a distant factory.

EU compliance

Built to clear customs and inspection

Placing a transformer on the EU market carries clear obligations, and as the brand, we carry the manufacturer's obligations: CE marking, technical file, EU Declaration of Conformity, Tier 2. For the import itself, either your company acts as importer of record (we supply the complete documentation pack) or we arrange delivery through an EU-established importer.

CE marking

EU Declaration of Conformity and full technical file, under our manufacturer responsibility.

Ecodesign Tier 2

Regulation (EU) 548/2014: capped losses, mandatory since July 2021. Verified at the factory.

IEC / EN 60076

Type, routine and special tests; KEMA / TÜV witnessed reports on request.

RoHS / REACH

Hazardous substances controlled and documented across all components.

WEEE

Producer registration and eco-contribution handled, mandatory from the very first unit.

For projects in France, our designs also align with the applicable NF standards (NF EN 60076, NF C 13-100 / 13-200) and DSO requirements (Enedis / RTE); see the French version of this site for the full France-specific documentation and guides.
