Used Sorgel Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Sorgel Electric was founded in 1916 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as a manufacturer of electrical distribution equipment. The company built a strong reputation over several decades producing dry-type transformers and related electrical apparatus for industrial customers across the United States. In 1972, Sorgel Electric was acquired by Square D Corporation, which later became a subsidiary of Schneider Electric in 1991, bringing the Sorgel product line under one of the world's largest electrical equipment organizations.

Sorgel's core product line centers on dry-type transformers in both single-phase and three-phase configurations, covering a broad range of kVA ratings from small general-purpose units to large medium-voltage insulated power transformers. Well-documented model families include the three-phase general purpose T3H and T6H series in ratings from 15 kVA through 300 kVA, single-phase S-series units, the TD-series three-phase transformers, and high-capacity medium-voltage insulated power units rated up to 2,000 kVA and beyond. Enclosure options span NEMA Type 1 indoor and NEMA Type 3R outdoor configurations, and specialty configurations such as zig-zag transformers were also produced under the Sorgel name.

Sorgel transformers were designed for demanding industrial and commercial environments. End markets include manufacturing plants, food and beverage processing facilities, water and wastewater treatment operations, commercial buildings, data centers, and utility substations. Their broad kVA range and voltage flexibility made them a go-to choice for plant engineers needing reliable step-down power distribution from 480-volt primary supplies to 208Y/120-volt secondary systems, as well as medium-voltage applications stepping down from distribution-level voltages.

Used Sorgel transformers attract buyers for several compelling reasons. Units built under the Square D era are known for heavy-gauge steel enclosures, Class AA temperature ratings, and high-quality insulation systems rated to 220 degrees Celsius, all of which contribute to exceptionally long service lives. Because Sorgel transformers were produced in large quantities and widely deployed across North American industry, replacement parts and reconditioned units remain readily available on the secondary market. Buyers seeking to reduce capital expenditure on plant electrical infrastructure consistently turn to used Sorgel transformers as a cost-effective, proven alternative to new equipment.
