Transforming Energy Efficiency

Transformers are the cornerstone of the energy infrastructure for many business sites and play a key role in the evolving landscape of the energy transition.

On-site green energy generation, like solar PV or wind, produces direct current (DC), necessitating transformers to convert it into the useful alternating current (AC). Step-up and step-down transformers adjust voltage to align with specific electrical infrastructure and equipment requirements.

Challenges in the Current Transformer Landscape:

Ageing Infrastructure​

  • The surge in green energy adoption has heightened the demand for transformers. However, the ageing transformer fleet in the UK poses a risk, with older models becoming potential points of failure, leading to extended downtime and lost productivity.

Energy Inefficiencies​

  • Older transformers contribute to substantial electrical losses, escalating energy costs and associated carbon emissions.

Key Benefits

Powerstar turns transformers from potential power resilience risks into opportunities for substantial cost and carbon savings for our clients.

Amorphous Core Transformers

With up to 80% lower core losses than standard CRGO models, Powerstar's transformers ensure significant cost and carbon savings.

Integrated Remote Monitoring

All our transformers include integrated remote monitoring, offering greater visibility of performance and improvements.

Quality Assurance

Manufactured in the UK, Powerstar transformers adhere to the highest quality standards, including UL Quality Assurance (E472553), ISO 9001, and ISO 14001, IEC 60076 and BS EN 61558.

Why Powerstar

Integrated Voltage Management for Optimal Efficiency

Combining low-loss distribution transformers with our dynamic voltage optimisation technology, Powerstar minimises inefficiencies in high-voltage infrastructure, unlocking additional savings and reductions in carbon emissions.

Client-Centric Approach

Our process begins with an installation feasibility study, ensuring that our transformers align with a client’s site, voltage profile, and energy management priorities. Powerstar delivers not just transformers but comprehensive, tailored solutions, enabling clients to achieve their energy management goals.

A combination of voltage regulation and low-loss transformers saved this leading food manufacturer over £71,000 on their annual energy bills.
