Documentation per unit
Routine test certificates per IEEE C57.12.90 issued against each serial number, so incoming inspection and asset records close out without chasing the supplier.
Power & distribution transformers · up to 50 MVA
Eight months.Not four years.
Domestic quotes for this class of transformer currently run 2.5 to 4 years. We supply new-manufacture units built to IEEE C57.12.00 and C57.12.10, routine tested per IEEE C57.12.90 on every unit, with factory acceptance testing witnessed by an independent third-party inspection agency.

The lead-time problem
The transformer is the pacing item on the whole project.
On most US grid and data-centre builds it is the transformer, not the construction, that sets the energisation date. Some utilities are ordering three years ahead of need simply to hold a slot in the queue.
We supply new-manufacture, IEEE C57-compliant units in approximately eight months, with the test documentation and loss guarantees a standard total-ownership-cost evaluation requires.

How we expect to be evaluated
Three things a buyer needs
from an import supplier.
Not marketing claims. Documents, numbers, and a straight answer on trade.
Losses you can capitalise
Guaranteed no-load and load loss figures backed by liquidated damages, so they enter a loss-evaluated bid formula as firm numbers rather than estimates.
Straight answers on trade
Our units are imported and do not qualify as domestic end products. We say so up front so domestic-content requirements surface before anyone spends time on a bid.
Witness testing
You are welcome
at the factory test.
Factory acceptance testing is witnessed by an independent third-party inspection agency as standard, not as a chargeable extra. Beyond that, you or an inspector you appoint are welcome to attend, and we will schedule the test to accommodate it.
For a first order from a new supplier this is usually the single most useful assurance available to a utility engineer, so we offer it without being asked.
Order release
Documentation schedule and test plan agreed and dated at order placement.
Manufacture
Built to IEEE C57.12.00 and C57.12.10 against the agreed specification.
Routine testing
Every unit tested per IEEE C57.12.90. Certificates issued per serial number.
Witnessed acceptance
Independent third-party agency attends. You are welcome to attend or appoint your own inspector.
Delivery
DDP to site quotable, with certificates and inspection report accompanying the unit.
Stated once, plainly
Our units do not qualify as domestic end products.
Transformers supplied by AxionOrbital Space Inc are of foreign manufacture. They are not compliant with Buy America, Build America Buy America, RUS domestic-content rules, or comparable state-level domestic sourcing requirements.
If your project carries any domestic-content condition, tell us at enquiry stage. We would rather decline early than waste your evaluation time, and we will not submit into a solicitation we cannot lawfully satisfy. Saying this openly costs us only the projects we could never legally win.
