Introduction: What Is a Single Phase Power Transformer?
A single phase power transformer is an electrical transformer designed to transfer electrical energy between two circuits using electromagnetic induction. It is mainly used in low-voltage and medium-voltage power distribution systems where single-phase loads are required.
Compared with three-phase transformers, single phase power transformers are typically used for residential power supply, rural electrification, small commercial facilities, agricultural applications, and distributed power networks.
Как профессионал производитель однофазных трансформаторов в Китае, EverNew Transformer provides reliable single phase power transformers with capacities ranging from small distribution units to customized solutions for utility and industrial applications.
Our single phase transformers are manufactured according to international standards including IEC 60076, ANSI/IEEE requirements, and customer-specific specifications.

Single Phase Power Transformer Working Principle
A single phase power transformer operates based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
When alternating current flows through the primary winding, it creates a changing magnetic field inside the transformer core. This magnetic flux induces voltage in the secondary winding, allowing electrical energy to be transferred while changing the voltage level.
The transformer can:
- Step down high voltage electricity for end users
- Step up voltage for power transmission
- Provide electrical isolation between circuits
- Improve power distribution efficiency
The basic components include:
- Silicon steel core or amorphous alloy core
- Первичная обмотка
- Вторичная обмотка
- Insulation system
- Transformer tank
- Cooling medium (oil or air)


Types of Single Phase Power Transformers
1. Single Phase Oil Immersed Power Transformer
Сайт single phase oil immersed pad mounted transformer is one of the most commonly used solutions for outdoor power distribution.
The transformer windings and core are immersed in insulating oil, which provides:
- Превосходные теплоизоляционные характеристики
- Эффективный отвод тепла
- Длительный срок службы
- Надежная работа на открытом воздухе
Типичные области применения:
- Коммунальные распределительные сети
- Rural electrification projects
- Электроснабжение жилых домов
- Возобновляемые энергетические системы
Common specifications:
| Параметр | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Номинальная мощность | 5 kVA – 500 kVA |
| Класс напряжения | 6kV, 10kV, 11kV, 15kV, 20kV, 33kV |
| Частота | 50 Гц / 60 Гц |
| Тип охлаждения | ONAN |
| Изоляция | Mineral oil / FR3 oil |
| Стандарт | IEC 60076 |

2. Single Phase Pole Mounted Transformer

Single Phase Power Transformer vs Three Phase Transformer
Many customers ask whether they should choose a single phase or three phase transformer.
| Comparison | Single Phase Transformer | Three Phase Transformer |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Simple | Более сложные |
| Приложение | Single phase loads | Промышленные энергетические системы |
| Установка | Flexible | Centralized |
| Вместимость | Как правило, меньшего размера | Medium to large capacity |
| Стоимость | Lower initial investment | Higher efficiency for large loads |
A single phase transformer is usually the best choice when:
- The electrical load is mainly residential
- The power requirement is below several hundred kVA
- The distribution system uses single-phase supply
How to Select the Right Single Phase Power Transformer?
Before purchasing a single phase transformer, buyers should consider the following factors:
1. Rated Capacity (kVA)
The transformer capacity should match the connected electrical load.
Common ratings:
- 10 кВА
