New 230V to 460V Transformer — Reliable Power Conversion for Refrigerated Containers

If your refrigerated shipping container is rated for 460V 3-phase power but your site only supplies 230V, our new 230V to 460V transformer solves the problem instantly. This industrial step-up transformer is purpose-built for reefer containers, letting you run high-voltage refrigeration units from standard, more widely available power sources — without the cost or noise of hiring a generator.

Whether you’re setting up cold storage at a warehouse, construction site, farm, or event location, this transformer bridges the gap between your available supply and your container’s electrical requirements, keeping your cargo at a safe, consistent temperature.
