When sourcing a standard or custom transformer, it is essential to choose
a quality manufacturer to ensure the product functions as intended. However,
given the large number of potential options available, selecting the right one
can be challenging. In the following blog post, we provide an overview of some
of the key factors to consider when vetting transformer manufacturers to help
you choose one for your application.
Key Considerations for Selecting the Right Transformer Manufacturer
There are many factors to keep in mind when selecting a transformer
manufacturer, including:
Manufacturer Reputation and Commitment to Quality
Regardless of whether you require a standard or custom transformer, the
manufacturer you choose should have the knowledge and skills to produce a
product that meets your quality standards.
Product Capability
In addition to product quality, product performance is critical. The
manufacturer you choose should be able to create a transformer that fully meets
your application requirements.
Production Capability
Product manufacturers with production capacities at—or just above—the
volume you require now may limit your growth should your demand increase in
the future. When sourcing a transformer manufacturer, select one who can
handle more than your current demand. In doing so, you can spare yourself the
headache of having to find a company with greater capacity in the future.
Local and Domestic Engineering Support
Local and domestic engineering support allows for quicker response to
customers designing a custom transformer or having issues with an existing
one. Manufacturers who outsource engineering support services to other
companies—whether domestic or international—may have customers that
experience difficulty reaching an engineer and/or communicating the issue to
one who does not fully understand the product.
Financial Health
The financial state of a transformer manufacturer is important. One that is
financially stable is more likely to remain in control of its own manufacturing
operations. This characteristic allows it to produce quality products to the
specifications needed when needed.
