What are the new Energy Efficiency levels coming for Transformers sold in the U.S.?

The Department of Energy has established new and more stringent Energy Efficiency levels for Transformers in the U.S. effective January 1st 2016.  According to the DOE, the new efficiency levels are expected to reduce energy losses by an average of 18% in low-voltage dry-type distribution transformers and 13% for medium-voltage dry-type transformers, over the current TP-1 efficiency levels.  Read more

Can a transformer be back-fed or used in reverse?

Generally speaking, HPS does NOT recommend the back-feeding of most standard HPS distribution transformers.  The reason is that reverse feeding such transformers may result in technical issues and safety aspects that could be easily avoided by using a transformer specifically designed for the required step-up application.


HPS has the know-how and capability to assist its customers in satisfying the most demanding application needs in a time sensitive manner.  We encourage the use of the proper equipment for our customer's applications and make every effort to ensure complete customer satisfaction.  Read more

HPS Achieves IDW 
Silver Band of Excellence

The Industry Data Warehouse (IDW) is a data portal (managed by IDEA) that enables distributors to securely access accurate and current product information from manufacturers enabling them to promote products in a more consistent and organized manner.

HPS is excited to announce that we have now expanded the product data attributes supported within IDW, achieving the Silver Band of Excellence.  To qualify for Silver, 90-95% of stock products in the IDW are required to be populated with spec sheets, attributes, image URLs, and descriptions.

Distributors will be required to agree to sign the HPS Distributor Agreement Addendum in order to access HPS product and pricing data in one standardized electronic format.  In addition to product specifications and dimensions, the data will also include links to product images, specification sheets, brochures and other technical information.

HPS Technical Presentation Webinars

Distributors, specifiers and end-users should be familiar with transformer and reactor technology to properly specify, select, and apply magnetics.
