Hammond Power Solutions has long been recognized as a North American leader in dry-type transformer manufacturing, producing robust units for industrial and commercial applications. When you upgrade your facility or decommission a plant, these heavy-duty cast resin and ventilated transformers retain significant residual value. We handle the logistics, including rigging and freight, to remove these units directly from your site. Reach out to our purchasing team to turn your idle Hammond equipment into capital.
Why sell to us
The Value of Hammond Power Solutions Dry-Type Transformers
Hammond Power Solutions specializes in dry-type technology, making their transformers highly prevalent in indoor industrial environments, commercial buildings, and renewable energy installations. Because these units do not rely on liquid coolants, they are favored for applications where fire safety and environmental containment are critical priorities. When a facility undergoes a power system upgrade, the outgoing Hammond dry-type transformers often possess substantial value based on their core materials and kVA ratings.
Our purchasing process focuses heavily on the internal construction of these units. Hammond manufactures both copper-wound and aluminum-wound models, and the winding material plays a major role in determining the final offer. Copper units generally yield higher returns due to the intrinsic value of the metal, but aluminum-wound transformers are still highly sought after in the secondary and scrap markets. We assess the specifications of your surplus Hammond equipment to provide a fair cash offer.
What we buy
Purchasing Cast Resin and Ventilated Transformer Families
The Hammond Power Solutions lineup includes both cast resin and ventilated dry-type transformers, each serving distinct operational environments. Cast resin units encapsulate the windings in a solid epoxy, providing excellent protection against moisture, dust, and corrosive airborne contaminants. These are frequently removed from harsh industrial settings, mining operations, and marine facilities. We actively purchase surplus cast resin transformers, evaluating them based on their capacity and condition.
Ventilated dry-type transformers rely on ambient air circulation for cooling and are typically found in clean indoor environments like data centers, hospitals, and large commercial complexes. When these facilities upgrade their electrical infrastructure, they often need to dispose of large ventilated units. We buy these transformers regardless of their age or operational status. By providing the details from the Hammond nameplate, you enable our team to accurately determine the equipment's worth and arrange for its prompt removal.

How it works
Drive Isolation and Harmonic Mitigation Units
Industrial facilities utilizing variable frequency drives often deploy specialized Hammond drive isolation transformers to handle the unique electrical stresses these systems create. Drive isolation units are built with rugged bracing and specific winding configurations to withstand the mechanical forces and thermal loads associated with motor drives. Because they contain robust core and coil assemblies, these transformers hold considerable scrap and surplus value when decommissioned.
Similarly, harmonic mitigation transformers are designed to handle the non-linear loads generated by modern electronic equipment, preventing overheating and power quality issues. These units typically feature complex winding designs and heavier copper or aluminum content compared to standard distribution transformers. As experienced buyers, we recognize the distinct characteristics of Hammond's drive isolation and harmonic mitigation models. We factor the specialized construction and heavier material weight into our valuation when purchasing these units from your facility.
Logistics and payment
Identifying Your Hammond Power Equipment for Valuation
To initiate the purchasing process, we require accurate information directly from the transformer's nameplate. Hammond Power Solutions nameplates are typically affixed to the exterior enclosure and contain vital data including the kVA rating, primary and secondary voltages, impedance, and the specific winding material. Providing a clear photograph of this data plate is the most efficient way for our team to assess the equipment.
The nameplate will also indicate whether the unit is a standard distribution transformer, a drive isolation model, or a specialized cast resin unit. Additionally, the total weight listed on the tag helps us calculate the scrap value and plan the necessary rigging and freight logistics. Whether you have a single 15 kVA unit or a massive multi-megawatt installation, the nameplate data allows us to formulate a precise cash offer and coordinate the removal from your site.
Detail
Handling Industrial and Renewable Energy Surplus
Hammond Power Solutions has expanded its footprint significantly into the renewable energy sector, providing transformers for solar and wind power installations. These applications require highly durable equipment capable of handling fluctuating loads and harsh environmental conditions. As solar farms and wind energy facilities update their grid interconnection equipment, they frequently decommission large Hammond dry-type and padmount transformers.
We work directly with renewable energy contractors and facility operators to purchase this surplus electrical equipment. Our team understands the logistical challenges of removing heavy transformers from remote solar fields or industrial wind sites. We coordinate the heavy lifting, specialized rigging, and flatbed transportation required to clear the site efficiently. By selling your decommissioned renewable energy transformers to us, you eliminate storage issues and recover capital from idle assets.

Nationwide Removal and Logistics Coordination
Removing heavy electrical equipment from an active plant or a decommissioned facility requires careful planning and specialized equipment. We purchase Hammond Power Solutions transformers from locations across the entire United States, managing the complete removal process so your personnel can focus on their primary duties. Our logistics team arranges the necessary cranes, forklifts, and heavy-haul trucks to safely extract the units from your property.
Whether the transformer is located inside a tight electrical room, on a rooftop, or sitting on an exterior concrete pad, we have the resources to handle the extraction. We cover all freight costs and manage the transportation logistics from your site to our processing facilities. You simply provide the equipment details and site access, and we execute the purchase and removal with minimal disruption to your ongoing operations.
Condition and testing
Evaluating Core Materials and Transformer Condition
The physical condition and internal composition of your Hammond transformer directly influence our purchasing offer. While operational units may have surplus value, we also buy failed, burnt, or obsolete transformers strictly for their scrap material content. The heavy steel cores and the copper or aluminum windings represent significant recoverable resources. Industrial facilities often hold onto damaged units assuming they have no worth, but these heavy components are highly recyclable.
When you contact us, we evaluate the kVA size and the winding material to estimate the recoverable metals. Even if a Hammond cast resin transformer has suffered a catastrophic failure, the internal copper or aluminum remains valuable. We provide cash offers based on the current market value of these materials, ensuring you receive a fair return for equipment that would otherwise take up valuable space in your facility or scrap yard. Our assessment process is designed to maximize the return on your decommissioned electrical assets.

Common questions
Questions sellers ask
What information do you need to buy my Hammond Power transformer?
We need a clear photograph of the Hammond Power Solutions nameplate, which displays the kVA rating, voltages, winding material, and total weight. Additionally, providing a few wide photos showing the overall condition of the transformer and its current location helps us plan the rigging and freight.
Do you purchase Hammond drive isolation transformers that have failed?
Yes, we buy failed, burnt, or obsolete drive isolation transformers. These specialized units contain heavy copper or aluminum windings and robust steel cores that retain significant scrap value regardless of their operational status. We will evaluate the unit based on its material composition and weight.
Will you travel to our facility to remove a large cast resin transformer?
We serve the entire United States and will arrange the necessary rigging and freight to remove large cast resin transformers directly from your site.
