Construction & Power Solutions
Reliable Dry Type Transformers for the Construction Industry
At Bruce Electric, we specialize in providing high-performance construction transformers to keep your job site running safely and efficiently. Whether you’re working on a new residential community, a large-scale industrial facility, or a high-rise commercial building, we offer the right transformer for construction industry needs—including new and used dry-type transformers for temporary setups.
Transformers in Construction Site Power Management
Dry Type Transformers play a critical role on construction sites by ensuring a consistent, safe, and compatible power supply for everything from heavy-duty machinery to lighting systems and power tools.
Our transformers support various applications including:
- 1. Voltage step-down for safe tool operation: Converts high incoming voltage into levels safe for handheld power tools and equipment.
- 2. Temporary power distribution across large job sites: Distributes electricity to different areas of the site from a central transformer.
- 3. Equipment isolation for increased safety: Helps prevent electrical interference or faults by isolating sensitive machinery.
- 4. On-site power for site trailers, HVAC systems and lighting: Powers essential site infrastructure for crew comfort and visibility.
Transformer Solutions Tailored for Construction Projects
Our wide range of dry type transformers are built for rugged site conditions and varied project scales:
- Dry Type Transformers: Safe, durable and low-maintenance units perfect for construction environments.
- Buck Boost Transformers: Compact and cost-effective for minor voltage corrections to protect tools and site equipment.
- Drive Isolation Transformers: Safeguard variable frequency drives used in cranes, lifts, or industrial HVAC systems.
- Autotransformers: Ideal for motor starting applications or where lower voltage drops are needed.
- Lighting Transformers: Power outdoor lighting for work zones, scaffolding and overnight construction.
- Single Phase & Three Phase Transformers: Available for different utility setups, depending on your site’s infrastructure.
- General Purpose & Industrial Control Transformers: Suitable for control panels, lifts, HVAC and other critical construction systems.

Powering All Phases of Construction Projects
We support every construction phase with tailored power solutions designed for real-world job site conditions.
Residential Construction: Buck boost transformers and lighting transformers are ideal for home developments and on-site trailer setups. These help adjust voltage levels for safe power tool usage and consistent lighting throughout residential builds. For site trailers and HVAC, our panelboards and safety switches ensure reliable and secure distribution of temporary power.
Industrial Construction: Use medium voltage and three-phase transformers for powering motors, pumps, and HVAC systems. Industrial projects often demand high-capacity power, and our drive isolation and autotransformers are designed to handle heavy-duty equipment safely and efficiently. Our automatic transfer switches and 3 pole circuit breakers add an extra layer of protection and power continuity for mission-critical operations.
Commercial Construction: Equip your sites with drive isolation transformers and panelboards to support elevators, lighting and commercial HVAC. Commercial buildings under construction often require uninterrupted, clean power for complex electrical systems and our K-factor rated transformers help mitigate harmonic distortion from modern electronics. Combined with surge suppressors and rotary phase converters, our systems are designed to scale with your commercial project demands.
Temporary Site Power: Combine dry-type transformers with ATS and safety switches to create efficient and safe power zones. For fast-paced builds or early-phase work, temporary power setups are crucial to keep things moving, especially where permanent service isn’t yet available. Our transformers, panelboards and protective gear ensure stable voltage and safe distribution across portable offices, workstations and outdoor job areas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
1. How do I choose the right transformer for a construction site?
Choosing the right transformer depends on your load requirements, voltage levels, site conditions and whether you need a temporary or permanent setup.
2. Do I need different transformers for residential and industrial construction?
Yes. Residential projects often require lower capacity transformers, while industrial projects need more robust, higher-rated equipment.
3. What safety precautions should be followed with transformers on-site?
Proper installation, grounding, ventilation and regular inspections are essential to ensure safety on the job site.
