My nameplate says Siemens Energy. Is that the same thing?

Close enough for us. We buy equipment under every name Siemens has carried, including Siemens Energy, Siemens Industry.

Could an older Siemens unit contain PCBs?

Oil-filled units built before 1980 may contain PCBs. We sample before an offer is final. We do not give disposal guidance on the web; call and a person will walk you through it.

Do you buy failed or damaged units?

Yes. Failed units are worth their core, windings, breakers, copper, and steel. Tell us what failed if you know.

How fast do I get a number?

Clear nameplate photos get a reply during business hours. A firm number may wait on inspection or testing.

Sell used Siemens equipment: low voltage dry-type transformers, mini power centers, cast coil transformers

Siemens on the nameplate

Siemens bought out Allis-Chalmers' interest in Siemens-Allis, their 1978 electrical equipment partnership, in 1985.

Siemens Energy was spun off from Siemens AG in September 2020. It carries GEAFOL cast resin transformers, power transformers and voltage regulators, while Siemens Industry sells the low voltage dry-types and Sentron Power Centers.

In 2024 Siemens Energy announced its first US power transformer factory, in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Reading the plate: Siemens puts the full catalog number on the dry-type nameplate with the wiring diagram and tap connections. The number itself encodes phase, primary, secondary, taps and kVA, for example 3F3Y045D16.

FAQ

Selling Siemens equipment: what people ask.

Yes. Age does not stop a purchase. Older Siemens units sell for spares, parts, or metal, and the nameplate tells us which.
