About Tierney Electrical

USAEst. 1938

Tierney Electrical Manufacturing Company was established in 1938 in Seattle, Washington, where it has operated continuously for more than eight decades. Founded as a focused transformer manufacturer, the company built its reputation in the Pacific Northwest by combining copper-wound craftsmanship with the ability to produce standard and custom designs on lead times far shorter than the industry norm. That single-location, single-focus model has kept Tierney Electrical a recognized name among electrical engineers and plant maintenance teams throughout the United States.

The core product line is dry-type, air-cooled transformers with all-copper windings, spanning 50 VA through 3,000 KVA. The 600 V general-purpose distribution series covers single-phase units from 15 KVA to 1,000 KVA and three-phase units from 15 KVA to 3,000 KVA, while the Type MTC machine tool control series addresses the demanding control-circuit requirements of industrial machinery. Specialty variants include the Capacitran line, which uses a Class 220 insulation system for continuous overload capacity beyond nameplate rating, and the Corrositran line, engineered with extra-thick insulating varnish and stainless steel hardware for corrosive environments such as pulp and paper mills and marine installations. K-Factor rated three-phase units and outdoor padmount configurations round out the catalog, along with neutral grounding reactors.

Tierney Electrical transformers serve a broad cross-section of industrial end markets. Machine tool and CNC machining facilities rely on the MTC control transformer series to power machine logic circuits reliably. Pulp and paper producers, food and beverage processors, water treatment plants, and marine and port facilities specify the Corrositran and other specialty variants for harsh-environment installations. General manufacturing plants, commercial buildings, hospitals, and schools use the standard GP distribution series for everyday power distribution and voltage conversion.

Buyers seeking used Tierney Electrical dry-type transformers on the secondary market are drawn primarily to the all-copper winding construction, which resists thermal degradation and supports a long service life well beyond that of aluminum-wound alternatives. The straightforward air-cooled, dry-type design requires no oil management, simplifying maintenance and reducing long-term operating costs. Because Tierney Electrical has maintained consistent design standards across decades of production, replacement parts and rewinding services remain accessible, and units from earlier production runs continue to perform reliably in active facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tierney Electrical best known for manufacturing?

Tierney Electrical is best known for dry-type, air-cooled transformers built exclusively with copper windings, produced at its Seattle, Washington facility since 1938. The product range spans 50 VA to 3,000 KVA and includes general-purpose distribution, machine tool control, and specialty transformer designs.

What transformer series does Tierney Electrical make?

Tierney Electrical produces several distinct series, including the Type GP general-purpose distribution transformers, the Type MTC machine tool control transformers, the Capacitran high-overload-capacity line, and the Corrositran corrosion-resistant series. Neutral grounding reactors and K-Factor rated three-phase units are also part of the catalog.

Why do buyers choose used Tierney Electrical transformers?

Used Tierney Electrical transformers are sought for their all-copper winding construction, which provides superior thermal durability and a longer service life compared to aluminum-wound units. The dry-type, air-cooled design eliminates oil maintenance requirements, and the company's consistent build standards mean older units remain serviceable and rewindable.
