Substation Class
5000 kVA Transformer Buyers
We buy used and surplus 5000 kVA transformers anywhere in the United States. At this rating we typically see plant substation transformers, station-class units in fenced yards, and mill service transformers.
These are the units most often abandoned in place. They are also among the most valuable things left on a closed site.

You are paid before the transformer leaves your property. No consignment, no waiting on a resale.
We do not ask you to test, repair or clean anything. We evaluate the unit ourselves.
We cover the freight and the rigging. Lowboys, cribbing, permits and escorts are our cost.
Disconnection, dismantling and removal are handled by our crews at our expense.

5000 kVA transformer questions
Straight answers
What is a used 5000 kVA transformer worth?
It depends on voltages, winding material, fluid type and condition more than on the rating alone. Two 5000 kVA units can be worth very different numbers if one is copper-wound in a standard voltage combination and the other is aluminum-wound on an odd primary. Send the nameplate and we will price yours specifically.
Do you buy single 5000 kVA units or only lots?
These are the units most often abandoned in place. They are also among the most valuable things left on a closed site.
Is a 5000 kVA unit single-phase or three-phase?
Three-phase. We buy both.
