The amount of copper in a power pole transformer is depended on its size and design. In fact, single phase pole mounted transformer is lesser than three phase in copper content, although they all are distribution transformers. Because the content of copper decides the capacity of the transformers. Generally, small distribution transformers may contain around 50 to 100 pounds (about 23 to 45 kg) of copper. Larger transformers can contain several hundred pounds of copper.The copper is primarily used in the windings, which are essential for electrical conductivity and efficiency.

Single Phase Pole Mounted Transformer Manufacturer YAWEI promises: the winding material of the copper transformer is 100% copper, and the winding material will not be cut corners after the product is put into production, and the rights and interests of users are 100% guaranteed.

The main components of a single-phase pole transformer include core, coil, insulation layer, oil tank, protection device, cooling device and other accessories. Therefore, the copper content in the transformer is mainly determined by the structure, material and manufacturing process of the transformer. As mentioned above, the winding material of the transformer is paper-wrapped flat copper wire in the coil, so the main copper content in the transformer depends mainly on the winding. Of course, it is not ruled out that the precision instruments in other accessories also have a certain copper content. (ps: Why should copper be used as the winding material? Because of the excellent conductivity of copper: low resistance, it determines that it has good performance in electromagnetic induction.)

In order to obtain accurate copper content, we can usually check the specifications or technical data sheets of the transformer manufacturer (Yawei Transformer will guarantee your product rights), which usually provide detailed information about the materials used. If there is no relevant information on the technical parameter sheet, we can contact the manufacturer or supplier to obtain more accurate data.

Of course, if you want to conduct a copper inspection in person, you can also physically disassemble and analyze the transformer, but this method may damage the equipment, so it is generally not recommended.
