GE Rome Transformer Replacements with PSC

Replace your GE Rome Transformer with confidence

When it's time to replace a GE Rome transformer, choose the team that has lived and breathed Rome production. PSC delivers faster, lower-cost, compliant replacements by matching electrical and key physical dimensions—providing a value-added service backed by unmatched knowledge and field-proven expertise.

From 1953 to 1998, GE Rome shipped approximately 120,000 transformers used in hospitals, universities, small and large industries, municipalities, cooperatives, and utilities. This included nearly 75,000 Secondary Substation Transformers (liquid-filled, dry-type, and VaporTran) and around 5,000 Primary Substation Transformers.

Why PSC is the Right Choice

We have decades of Rome expertise. PSC's product specialists are former GE Rome experts with over 100 years of combined experience in sales, design, manufacturing, testing, quality, and transportation for the ~120,000 transformers initially built in Rome, GA. That institutional knowledge means fewer surprises, faster quotes, and right-first-time replacements. Our proprietary Rome knowledge includes nameplate conventions, serial numbering, design variants (VAPORTRAN, DRY TYPE, LIQUID FILLED), and field nuances that matter for proper fit, performance, and safety. 

Did you know that PSC has exclusive, GE-granted access to original GE Transformer design documents for transformers manufactured in Rome, GA, from 1953 through closing in 1998? Only PSC can refer to older drawings of your aging equipment. We are your single source for replacements: PSC coordinates the entire job—from identifying the specific replacement to delivering engineered replacement units for site-ready installations—minimizing customer downtime, labor, and overall cost.

Ready to Get Started? What We Need to Start Your Quote

In order to provide an accurate, timely quote, we ask for the following information:

  1. The serial number stamped on the transformer nameplate, typically stamped on the nameplate at the front of the transformer. (Example: M157536A)
  2. Any current customer specifications or project requirements
  3. Whether you plan to replace the existing HV Load Interrupter Switch
  4. Whether you plan to replace the HV and/or LV air-filled terminal compartments
