Heavy Duty Furnace Transformer by Volta Transformers

High-Current Furnace Transformers for Heavy Industry

Furnace transformers are critical power distribution components engineered for demanding industrial processes relying on high-temperature electric heating, such as steel manufacturing, aluminum smelting, ferroalloy production, and metal foundries. These specialized transformers step down medium grid voltages into extremely high-current, low-voltage outputs required to feed electric arc furnaces (EAF), ladle furnaces (LF), and induction heating systems.

Manufactured under strict ISO 9001:2015 quality frameworks and fully compliant with international IEC 60076 standards, Volta furnace transformers are structurally reinforced to withstand frequent short-circuit forces, intense mechanical vibrations, severe harmonic currents, and extreme thermal fluctuations common in metallurgical applications.

Furnace Transformer FAQ

Technical answers for international procurement managers and project engineers.

Volta Transformers manufactures furnace transformers ranging from 250 KVA up to 20 MVA (with custom designs up to 25 MVA / 66 KV class). We support primary voltages up to 33 kV and deliver customized low-voltage high-current secondary outputs designed to your specific furnace requirements.
Furnace operation subjects transformers to severe thermal and electrodynamic stresses. Our units feature reinforced core clamping structures, high-strength insulation materials, heavy copper busbars, and internal impedance tuning to minimize electrodynamic coil movement and suppress harmonics during arc short-circuit conditions.
Depending on ambient conditions and continuous load ratings, we supply ONAN (Oil Natural Air Natural), ONAF (Oil Natural Air Forced), OFAF (Oil Forced Air Forced), and water-cooled options like OFWF (Oil Forced Water Forced) for high-density furnace environments.
