What We Do

Delta Star is capable of constructing transformers that are 315,000 volts and below in both single and three phase ratings through 900 BIL rating. These units could include tap-changing equipment and are utilized in both utility and industrial applications. Utility applications include power, distribution, generator step up, UAT, grounding units, voltage regulators, and autotransformers. Delta Star's industrial transformers are used for secondary load centers, unit substations, distribution services, power substations, and hazardous locations. Delta Star constructs mobile transformers that can be used for a number of different purposes, which include serving as temporary substations during emergencies or as a safeguard against power outages resulting from malfunctioning transformers. Additionally, mobile transformers are used in remote locations until permanent transformers are in place and for planning routine maintenance of permanent substations. Delta Star's mobile transformers can be built up to a capacity of 100 MVA rating and up to 230,000 volts. Delta Star can provide multiple voltage requirements for use on both the high and low sides. Additionally, load tap changer equipment can be installed for the secondary voltage regulation. All of the mobile transformers and mobile substations are welded to their trailers.
