ABB TX 250 kVA Pad-Mounted Transformer from Germany
A liquid dielectric oil-filled pad-mounted transformer rated at 250 kVA, designed for underground distribution systems in residential and commercial areas. It steps down medium voltage to low voltage and falls under HTS 8504.21.0060 due to its power handling capacity between 100-500 kVA and use of liquid dielectric insulation.

Import Tips
• Obtain NEMA and DOE efficiency certifications to meet U.S. energy standards for liquid-filled transformers
• Include detailed test reports for dielectric strength, BIL rating, and oil type (e.g
• mineral oil) in documentation
• Verify labeling for voltage ratings, kVA capacity, and temperature rise to avoid CBP reclassification
