Can't wait? Ask for refurbished or surplus units: tested reconditioned transformers, switchgear, generators, robots and machine tools often ship from stock in weeks, not years. Tick "Refurbished or surplus OK" on the request.

Questions

How long is the lead time for a large power transformer?

Large power transformers take about 128 weeks from the big makers in 2026, and generator step-up transformers 144-160 weeks. Smaller substation units run about 92-110 weeks.

How long does medium-voltage switchgear take?

About 66-80 weeks for 15 kV class and 91-104 weeks for 38 kV switchgear in 2026; high-voltage breakers about 125 weeks.

Are refurbished or surplus units an option?

Yes. Reconditioned transformers, switchgear, breakers, gensets, robots and machine tools ship from existing stock, so lead times are much shorter than new units. Tick "Refurbished or surplus OK" on the request and we include tested refurbished and surplus options next to new-build slots.

How can I get equipment sooner?

Send Norynta your spec, quantity, site country and needed-by date. Within 48 hours we send makers worldwide with earlier production slots or stock, their lead time and origin. Free for buyers.
