Custom step-up transformer

Wound to Spec

Step-Up Transformers, Wound to Spec

A step-up transformer raises incoming line voltage to the higher level your equipment requires — 208 V to 480 V, 240 V to 480 V, or any ratio your application calls for. That is what lets 480 V machinery run on a 208 V service, an inverter feed a higher-voltage bus, or a long cable run arrive at the far end with usable voltage.

We wind each unit to your precise turns ratio, VA rating, frequency, and mounting footprint, in single-phase or three-phase, isolated or autotransformer construction. Our engineers spec the right approach for free — and every unit is individually tested before it ships, not batch-sampled.

Applications

Where Step-Up Transformers Are Used

Wherever the supply is lower than the equipment needs — imported machinery, inverter output, and long feeder runs.

Imported & Export Equipment

Match 208 / 240 V service to 380–480 V gear built for another market — or the reverse.

Industrial Machinery

Bring higher-voltage motors, presses, and CNC equipment onto an existing service.

Renewable Energy

Raise inverter output to grid or distribution voltage in solar and storage installations.

Long Runs & Voltage Drop

Boost at the source so voltage arrives within tolerance at the far end of a long feed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Step-Up Transformers

A step-up transformer raises an incoming AC voltage to a higher output voltage using a turns ratio where the secondary has more turns than the primary. It lets equipment rated for a higher voltage run from a lower-voltage supply — the mirror image of a step-down transformer.
Yes — we wind to any input/output ratio you specify (208→480, 240→480, 120→240, or fully custom), in single-phase or three-phase, with the exact VA rating and footprint your installation needs.
An isolated step-up transformer has separate primary and secondary windings, giving galvanic isolation and noise rejection. An autotransformer shares a single winding — smaller, lighter, and more efficient for modest ratio changes, but without isolation. We help you choose based on safety, space, and cost.
No — no minimums and no maximums. We build from a single prototype through full production runs, with free engineering and a working prototype typically in 48 hours.
