Overview

Compact, Secure
Underground Power

Padmount transformers serve as the final voltage step-down stage in underground distribution systems, converting medium-voltage supply to the utilization voltage required by residential, commercial, and industrial loads. Their tamper-resistant enclosures and locked compartments make them the standard choice wherever public access is a concern.

Candron padmount transformers are built to ANSI C57.12.25 (single-phase) and ANSI C57.12.26 (three-phase) with CSA certification for Canadian installations. Standard features include radial or loop configurations, integral overcurrent protection options, and oil-immersed construction for thermal efficiency and long service life.

Both single-phase and three-phase configurations are available with customized tank dimensions, high-voltage arrangements (radial, loop, or multi-tap), low-voltage termination options, and a range of protective accessories.

Applications

Where Padmounts Are Used

Residential Subdivisions

Step down utility distribution voltage to 120/240 V for single-family and multi-unit residential developments with underground services.

Commercial Buildings

Supply three-phase power to shopping centres, office buildings, and mixed-use developments from underground distribution feeders.

Industrial Facilities

Connect plant equipment to the utility distribution system where overhead lines are restricted or aesthetics require underground routing.

Solar & Renewable Energy

Step up generation voltage for interconnection to the utility distribution network in ground-mount and rooftop solar installations.

Data Centres

Provide reliable, efficient primary power transformation with low-loss designs and custom secondary voltage arrangements for critical facilities.

Transit & Public Infrastructure

Power transit stations, EV charging infrastructure, and public facilities from underground utility distribution loops.
