75 kva transformer cost
The cost of a 75 kVA transformer varies greatly depending on factors such as **type, voltage level, brand, newness, and configuration**.
The following is a detailed analysis:
I. Typical Price Range
1. Brand-new Transformers
- **Domestic Dry-type Three-phase Transformers** (such as Wankong):
- Common type: **¥6,000~¥15,000** (approximately $850~$2,100)
- Isolation type/with protective casing: **¥8,000~¥25,000** (for example, the SG-75KVA of Shanghai Zhequan starts at ¥8,000)
- **Imported Brands (such as Eaton, Square D, GE)**:
- Three-phase dry type: **$2,500~$4,000** (for example, the brand-new Eaton V48M28T7516 on eBay is $3,950)
- Oil-cooled type/NEMA 3R protection: **$3,500~$6,000**
2. Second-hand/Refurbished Transformers
- **Quotations on the eBay platform**:
- Three-phase dry type (480V to 208Y/120V): **$1,200~$2,500** (for example, the refurbished Square D is $1,900, and the second-hand
Federal Pacific is $1,125)
- Single-phase transformer: **$4,800+** (for example, the brand-new single-phase Square D is $4,800)
3. Models for Special Scenarios
- **Rental-type Temporary Transformers**:
- The daily rent is approximately **$50~$100**, and the deposit is $2,000~$3,000.
- **High-voltage Transformers (such as 13.2kV)**:
- The price is **30%~50%** higher than that of low-voltage models.
II. Factors Affecting the Price
1. **Type and Cooling Method**:
- Dry type < Oil-cooled type, Isolation type > Common power distribution type.
2. **Voltage Level**:
- The higher the input/output voltage (such as from 480V to 13.2kV), the higher the insulation requirements, and the price increases
significantly.
3. **Brand and Place of Origin**:
- Imported brands (such as Eaton, Siemens) are **50%~100%** more expensive than domestic brands (such as Zhequan).
4. **Additional Functions**:
- Having a circuit breaker, an IP protective casing, an integrated monitoring module, etc. will increase the cost by **10%~30%**.
III. Purchase Suggestions
- **With a Limited Budget**: Choose **domestic dry-type transformers** (such as Wankong at ¥6,000~¥10,000) or **second-hand
well-known brands** (around $1,500 on eBay), and make sure to confirm the test report.
- **Industrial/Outdoor Scenarios**: Give priority to **oil-cooled type + NEMA 3R**, set aside a budget of **$4,000+**, and ensure the
protection level.
- **Local Purchases in the United States**: It is recommended to use platforms such as **second-hand items on eBay** or **Grainger**.
For brand-new models, you can compare **Square D 75T3H** ($2,350) and **Eaton V48M28T75EE** ($1,800).
**Note**: The above prices are for reference in the market in 2025. Specifically, it is subject to the **real-time quotations of suppliers**.
It is recommended to provide the following parameters to obtain accurate quotations:
- Input/output voltage and number of phases
- Protection level (NEMA/IP)
- Winding material (copper/aluminum)
- Certification standards (such as UL, CE)
