Standards | UL/cUL Certification E536138 for Three-Phase Pad-Mounted Transformers
Winley Electric recently updated and expanded its UL/cUL certification documentation under E536138 for three-phase liquid-filled pad-mounted transformers. According to the latest certificate, the UL-US scope covers three-phase pad-mounted distribution transformers from 45 to 5000 kVA and 26.0 to 36.0 kV, while the cUL Canada scope covers 75 to 3000 kVA and 26.0 to 36.0 kV. This article reviews the certified range, applicable North American standards, key UL/cUL test items, certified sample and nameplate traceability, and the value of the certification in technical review, tender documentation and supplier compliance evaluation.

Scope note: This article is based on the available UL/cUL certificates, report references and current test-item list. It does not add conclusions beyond the certificate/report information provided by UL.
1. Certificate Overview
Three-phase pad-mounted transformers are commonly used in commercial and industrial distribution, utility distribution, data center power infrastructure and renewable-energy interconnection projects. For North American projects, UL/cUL certification can support compliance pre-review, technical submittals and supplier qualification.

5. Winley Certification Case: Test Items, Certified Sample and Nameplate Correspondence
In Winley Electric’s E536138 three-phase pad-mounted transformer certification case, the documentation is organized around traceability. The UL/cUL certificates define the certified product category, applicable standards and model range. The listed test items show the key verification areas, including electrical performance, insulation, temperature rise, sealing, mechanical structure and enclosure integrity. The certified sample or same-series product photos help illustrate the transformer structure, while the nameplate photo supports cross-checking of the model, rated capacity, voltage, phase, frequency and serial number against the certified scope.

7. Substantive Value: Production Consistency and Factory Surveillance
The value of UL certification is not limited to a certificate. After certification, the manufacturing location and certified product are typically covered by UL Follow-Up Services, which are intended to confirm that UL Certified products continue to comply with the original certification requirements.
This drives consistency control over component selection, nameplate management, assembly process, tank sealing, connection structure, factory testing and record traceability. For batch delivery, customers care not only about the tested sample but also whether subsequent shipments remain consistent with the certified sample.
8. Customer Procurement Value
For North American buyers, EPC contractors and engineering consultants, the E536138 UL/cUL certification documentation can support technical review, tender submission, supplier qualification and site acceptance preparation. Customers can check the certificate number, report reference, applicable standards and certified model scope against the certification requirements specified in project documents.
During project execution, nameplate information such as model number, rated capacity, voltage, phase and frequency can also be cross-checked with the certified scope. This helps reduce repeated communication caused by incomplete certification documents or unclear model coverage. The certification does not replace project-specific approval, customs procedures or final owner acceptance requirements, but it provides a clearer and verifiable compliance documentation basis for customers.
