Powering Progress Since Day One

For over three decades, Acme Electric has been the go-to name when power reliability can’t be compromised. We design and manufacture transformers that keep everything from manufacturing plants to data centers running smoothly, because we know that when the lights go out, everything else stops too. Our team of engineers doesn’t just build equipment—they solve the complex power challenges that keep business owners up at night. Started in a small workshop by two electrical engineers who were tired of seeing good businesses fail due to power problems, we’ve grown into a trusted partner for companies who need their electrical systems to work perfectly, every single time.

The breakthrough came in 1998 when we developed our first custom transformer for a local textile mill that had been struggling with voltage fluctuations for months. Word spread quickly through the industrial community, and soon we were fielding calls from facilities managers across the region who had heard about “those transformer guys who actually fix problems.” What started as weekend projects in a garage became the foundation for innovations that now power some of the most demanding operations in North America.

Got Questions?

This section covers the most common questions customers ask about these electrical components.

How long do these units typically last?

Most units are designed to operate reliably for 20-30 years with proper maintenance. Lifespan depends on operating conditions, load factors, and regular inspections. Units in harsh environments may require more frequent servicing.

What size unit is needed for a specific application?

Sizing depends on the total load requirements, voltage specifications, and future expansion plans. An electrical engineer should calculate the exact requirements based on connected equipment and safety margins.

Can these be installed outdoors?

Many models are rated for outdoor installation with appropriate weatherproof enclosures. Indoor units require different housing specifications. The installation environment determines which type and protection rating is needed.

How often should maintenance be performed?

Annual inspections are recommended for most installations. This includes checking connections, testing insulation, and monitoring oil levels where applicable. High-use or critical applications may need more frequent attention.

What happens if a unit fails?

Failure modes vary but often involve protective systems shutting down the unit safely. Most installations include backup systems or redundancy to maintain power during repairs. Professional diagnosis is required to determine repair versus replacement options.
