Power Transformer


Record Products & Topics2 – History

TOSHIBA was the first in Japan to manufacture transformers. Not long after this the electric power business in Japan was inaugurated and AC transmission and distribution was introduced. Transformers up to only 10kVA & 2000V were produced.
In the subsequent 100 years TOSHIBA has continued to break Japanese high-voltage-capacity records.
