Rental Transformers

[FaradayFF]

Greetings,
Does anyone have any experience renting stepdown transformers for a construction jobs? Looking in the range of 200kVA. How easy are they to setup and wire up?
I'd think those are oil filled units?

Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks,
EE

I can't imagine using oil filled units this small a unit for temporary use. We used to to use Aggreko for this type of need when I was doing this kind of stuff.
Oh wait...I just realized you must mean high voltage on the primary. Then probably oil filled. Not sure if that will be easily rented.

Hi textie,
We're talking low voltage.

Wiring is pretty much the same as any other transformer although some rental units will have camlok connectors. I've even seen some rental units that were basically unused, not even a hole punched for the wiring.
