112.5 kVA Transformer Buyers in Texas

Sell a 112.5 kVA transformer from your Texas facility

A 112.5 kVA transformer commonly serves restaurants, medium retail buildings and small manufacturing facilities. Its rating describes apparent power capacity in kilovolt-amperes, not a fixed amount of electricity consumed. Equipment at this size may become available after a tenant change, service upgrade, plant shutdown or canceled construction project.

Indoor units are often ventilated dry-type transformers in metal enclosures, with cooling air passing around the windings. Outdoor units may be three-phase padmount transformers in enclosed cabinets, typically with separate cable compartments and a liquid-filled tank. Photos should show the complete enclosure, not just the rating label.

We buy single units and whole lots, any brand, whether new in crate, operating before removal or failed. Our yard and office are at 6402 McGrew St, Houston, TX 77087, and we buy across Texas. There is no need to assemble a full truckload before asking for an offer.

Common forms and voltage combinations

For a used 112.5 kVA transformer, voltage compatibility is a major part of the assessment. Primary voltage is the supply entering the transformer; secondary voltage is the output serving the load. A familiar dry-type arrangement is 480 V primary with 208Y/120 V secondary, where the output provides 208 V between phases and 120 V from a phase to neutral.

Other configurations can include 600 V primary to 208Y/120 V secondary, or medium-voltage primary service feeding 480Y/277 V or 208Y/120 V loads. Padmount nameplates may show primary ratings such as 12,470 V, 13,800 V, 24,940 V or 34,500 V. These are examples to check against the plate, not interchangeable connection options.

Our dry-type transformer buying page covers ventilated and other dry-type equipment. For outdoor cabinets, see padmount transformers we buy. Identify dead-front construction, which uses insulated cable connections, and loop-feed construction, which provides incoming and outgoing primary connections, if those features appear on your unit.

112.5 kVA transformer specs and full-load amps

Three-phase full-load current is calculated as kVA × 1,000 ÷ (1.732 × volts), using line-to-line voltage. At 112.5 kVA, that is approximately 312 A at 208 V, 135 A at 480 V and 108 A at 600 V. Those figures describe rated current at the specified voltage, not the current a lightly loaded transformer necessarily draws.

On the medium-voltage side, rounded values are approximately 5 A at 12,470 V, 5 A at 13,800 V, 3 A at 24,940 V and 2 A at 34,500 V. The table below shows these values together. Use our transformer kVA-to-amps calculator when comparing other voltages or ratings.

Buyers care because the voltage and current must suit the intended service and downstream equipment. A 112.5 kVA rating alone does not establish a match: phase, winding connections, frequency and impedance also matter. Impedance is the transformer’s opposition to current flow, expressed as a percentage, and helps determine available fault current.

What affects value and demand at this size

As a 112.5 kVA transformer buyer, we assess the actual configuration and condition rather than assigning one price to every unit at this rating. Voltage combination, enclosure type, winding material, completeness and documented operating history all affect the evaluation. New surplus equipment and a failed unit with missing parts present different buying considerations.

This size fits applications between smaller commercial loads and larger building or production requirements. Demand depends on whether an available unit matches a project’s voltage, capacity and installation needs; it is not determined by kVA alone. If your lot includes adjacent sizes, we also buy 75 kVA transformers and 150 kVA transformers.

• Show missing panels, damaged terminals, corrosion, leaks or signs of overheating in the photos.
• Identify copper or aluminum windings if documented; do not guess from exterior appearance.
• Include existing test reports and explain why the unit was removed or declared failed.
• List accessories, spare parts and original packaging that are included with the sale.

Nameplate details and photos to send

A readable nameplate is the best starting point when you want to sell a 112.5 kVA transformer. Photograph it straight on, with enough light to read small lettering, and include overall views from several sides. Our guide to reading a transformer nameplate helps identify the fields.

For liquid-filled equipment, include the fluid identification and any available PCB information. PCB means polychlorinated biphenyls, substances associated with some older insulating fluids. Existing records are useful; describe unknown information as unknown rather than estimating it.

• Manufacturer, serial number, 112.5 kVA rating, phase and frequency.
• Primary and secondary voltage, tap settings, connection diagram and impedance.
• Temperature rise, cooling designation, winding material if shown and listed weight.
• Quantity, Texas location, current condition and whether the equipment remains installed.
• Photos of terminals, cable compartments, enclosure damage and accessible lifting points.

Weight, rigging and trailer access

Do not estimate shipping weight from the kVA rating alone. The nameplate lists exact weights; photograph those entries and distinguish total weight from any separately listed component or fluid weight. Dry-type and liquid-filled designs can have different handling requirements even at the same electrical rating.

Describe stairs, doorways, dock access, ground conditions and whether a forklift or crane can reach the unit. Include photos of the route from its current position to the loading area. Lifting points, equipment capacity, trailer suitability and load securement need to be planned around the actual transformer.

The unit has to be de-energized and disconnected by the seller or the seller's qualified electrician. We coordinate freight and load-out with the seller, including the access and handling arrangements needed for pickup.

Get an offer for your 112.5 kVA transformer in Texas

Call or text (951) 403-5738, email Industrial832@gmail.com, or submit your transformer for an offer. Send the nameplate photo, overall photos, quantity, location and condition together so we can evaluate the equipment and respond with an offer.

Mention whether the unit is ready for loading or still connected, and identify any site access restrictions. Nothing is loaded until the price, payment terms and pickup plan are confirmed in writing.
