Our Business
Altro Transformers commenced its manufacturing operations during 1982 as a specialist in the design and manufacture of Transformers and DC Rectification Equipment. Over the years our product range has expanded to include Medium voltage transformers and substations, Power Quality solutions, including Power Factor Correction, Voltage Optimisation and Harmonic mitigation equipment.
Altro Transformers is synonymous with high quality and finish. Our range is comprised of a standard group of products as well as custom designed products for one off applications through to high volume OEM requirements.
More recently we have expanded into the solar energy industry providing packaged power solutions. We manufacture commercial sized systems complete with string inverters, DC isolation and fusing, cooling system and smart communication and remote monitoring. For large solar projects we also manufacture skid mounted systems utilising central inverters. Packaged systems can be supplied complete with DC combiner cabinets, LV switchboard, SCADA and MV transformer/switchgear.
Our focus remains on “Quality and Service”. Our in-house engineering and design facilities allow us to provide superior quality products and short lead times in a cost effective manner. All products are manufactured in accordance with the relevant Australian and International standards.

LV Range
LV Range
The LV range offers a mix of Control Transformers (single voltages, multi tap, 690V, 1000V); 3 Phase Transformers (isolation & auto); Specialty Industry Transformers (rail, telecommunications, marine, medical) and Power Supplies (switch mode power supplies, DC rectifiers & battery backup systems) for multiple applications. Select from our range of standard ratings and voltages or we can custom engineer and manufacture to suit customer requirements.
MV Range
MV Range
Provision of energy efficient and environmentally sustainable products is a tremendous aspect within our business. We offer a unique 3 dimensional transformer through our TDT brand. The continuous winding of the tri dimensional core provides improved benefits such as improved performance; reduced losses (no-load loss is reduced to approximately 40% and no-load current reduced by more than 70%), reduced sound level, reduced harmonics, improved EMC and substantial operating cost savings over the transformer lifecycle. Our range includes Oil Immersed Type, Cast Resin Type and Open Ventilated Dry Type. We offer traditional ground mount and pad mount types as well as kiosks and packaged substations up to 3MVA.
Power Quality
Power Quality
Operational longevity of electricity supply and equipment can save businesses thousands of dollars in the long term. Our power quality service from initial analysis, reporting, recommendation and installation can augment energy and product efficiency whilst creating immediate financial savings. Our range encompasses Active Power Filters (APF), Static Var Generators (SVG), Voltage Power Optimisation (VPO) and Power Factor Correction (PFC); Reactors (AC line reactors, shunt and DC chokes). Overall savings offer quick payback time lines, enabling businesses to invest access funding towards commercial progression.
Enclosure Systems
Enclosure Systems
Our In-house metal fabrication facility is equipped with state of art machinery enabling us to design, manufacture and configure enclosures with quick turn-around. Select from a range of standard enclosures in various IP ratings, Kiosks and Substations. Custom designs are engineered to suit project specific specifications.
Repairs & Rewinds
Repairs & Rewinds
A breakdown can either slow down or shut down production or equipment function. We not only manufacture transformers but can also assist with troubleshooting, repairing and rewinding transformers from LV (1 and 3 phase) to HV transformers. Another extension to this service is the integration of LV motor repairs and rewinds. Our scope of resources ensures that transformers and motors are assessed and remedied quickly and proficiently, ensuring clients are active within short timelines and focusing on their business.
Altro Transformers is synonymous with the provision of high quality products and finish. Our innate ability and drive for innovation paved a pathway in providing custom product solutions for all unique scenarios as well as standard requirements. With state of the art in-house design and development facilities and a great team, we employ the latest design and modelling systems in order to provide unparalleled products with short delivery times and optimal service. All products are manufactured to relevant Australian manufacture and ISO standards.
