Powering Innovation: 5000 KVA Transformer Installation at Chester Facility

January 20, 2025

Electrical transformers are based on principles discovered in the 19th century, but they remain critical in cutting-edge energy systems today. This 5000 KVA dry type, pad mount, dual winding transformer was recently placed for service at Recore's design/build project (Phoenix) down in Chester, S.C. 

The transformers' primary duty will be to provide power to the motors that are part of the production process here at this 300,000-square-foot facility. Pushing the boundaries of what's possible in manufacturing. It is what we do, it is who we are. We are Recore Electrical Contractors.
