Eaton
Builds Cooper Power series liquid-filled pad-mount and substation transformers up to 12 MVA, including a hardened data center line, and is adding a third US three-phase transformer plant in South Carolina.
Facts
Source per value- Segment Power when the maker publishes power, GSU, HVDC, autotransformer or reactor products or a rating above 20 MVA; Distribution when it publishes distribution, pad-mount, pole-mount, network or dry-type products; both when it publishes each. Derived from Transformer types and Largest rating.
- Distribution 5
- Transformer types Product types the maker lists, separated by semicolons: power, GSU, autotransformer, HVDC, shunt reactor, substation, distribution, pad-mount, pole-mount, network, dry-type (cast resin, VPI), mobile, rectifier/industrial, renewable and data center lines.
- distribution; pad-mount; substation; data center 5
- Largest rating MVA Largest verified published rating in the cited product or regional scope, in MVA. Product range identifies base, forced-cooling, phase-shifter throughput or group-history claims; these rating bases are not interchangeable. Planned future ranges are described separately.
- 12 4
- Smallest rating kVA Smallest published rating, in kVA. Shows how far down the distribution range a maker goes.
- 45 1
- Product range The kVA/MVA range as the maker states it, by product line.
- Substation transformer base range: 300-12,000 kVA three-phase; 250-5,000 kVA single-phase. Catalog also lists forced-air and dual-temperature ratings through 17,920 kVA; 12 MVA is the base-rating comparison. 4
- Highest voltage kV Highest voltage class the maker publishes or has delivered, in kV (AC system voltage; HVDC noted under Voltage classes).
- 46 4
- Voltage classes Voltage classes and BIL as the source states them, by product or plant.
- Substation primary 2.4-46 kV; secondary 208 V-15 kV (25 kV on special request) 4
- Plants Transformer manufacturing locations, city and country. Planned plants carry their target date. Location lists identify verified sites and may not cover every factory in a global group.
- two Wisconsin three-phase transformer facilities, United States; Jonesville, South Carolina, United States (planned 2027) 2
- Plant countries Countries with verified operating transformer manufacturing in the cited scope; not necessarily the complete global footprint. Component and service-only sites do not establish new-unit manufacturing.
- United States 2
- US plant Yes when an operating US transformer plant is verified; No when the source shows the maker's plants and none is in the US. Empty means not verified.
- Yes 2
- EU plant Yes when an operating transformer plant in an EU-27 country is verified (the UK, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey do not count). Empty means not verified.
- Not published
- Capacity expansion Announced transformer capacity expansions: amount in the original currency, place, announcement date, target date and output change. US and EU projects first.
- $340M three-phase transformer plant in an 861,000 sq ft building, Jonesville (Union County), South Carolina, announced 2025-02-12, production 2027, 700 jobs 2
- Largest US/EU expansion $M Largest single announced US or EU transformer capacity investment, in US$ millions, where the source states a dollar amount. Euro amounts stay in Capacity expansion unconverted.
- 340 2
- Expansion region Where the announced capacity expansions are: US, EU, both, or only elsewhere (Other).
- US 2
- Certifications and standards Quality certifications, listings and design standards the source names (ISO 9001, IEEE C57, IEC 60076, EU Ecodesign Tier 2, utility approvals).
- Not published
- Data center offer Yes when the maker markets transformers for data centers or has disclosed a data center transformer order. Empty means not found.
- Yes 5
- Data center product or order The named data center line, or the disclosed order with value and date.
- Envirotran HDC hardened data center substation transformers, 300-12,000 kVA base; FR3-filled 5
- Parent or owner Parent company or owner where the source states one.
- Not published
- HQ country Country of the maker's headquarters.
- Ireland 3
- HQ region Region of the maker's headquarters.
- Europe 3
- Legacy brands and names Sourced former names and acquired transformer businesses, retained on the current maker row to avoid duplicate supplier counts.
