SAFE TRASFORMATORI

What SAFE TRASFORMATORI does

SAFE TRASFORMATORI s.r.l. is an Italian, family-owned manufacturer of dry type electrical transformers and magnetic components, founded in 1978 by Tullio Salsa and headquartered in Casaleggio (Novara province), Italy. The company operates from a single production site and serves industrial customers both domestically and internationally, with a multi-language website (English, Italian, Romanian) signaling active cross-border commercial outreach.

Its product portfolio is organized into three lines: (1) Transformers and Autotransformers, covering single and three-phase control, power, insulation, safety transformers and autotransformers in ratings ranging roughly from 50VA to 40KVA (single and three-phase) and up to 1100V; (2) Dry type core and air-core Inductors and Reactors compliant with CEI 14.5 and EN IEC 76-6, in insulation classes B, F, and H, using copper or aluminum windings on stainless steel or aluminum substrates for filtering, current limitation, power factor correction, and short-circuit limitation applications; and (3) Industrial Projects, covering custom-designed magnetic components and "special executions" with optional accessories including electrostatic screens, adjustment tappings, thermal protectors and thermistors, DIN mounting brackets, and protection enclosures. Underlying technology is conventional electromagnetic winding — copper/aluminum conductors on laminated magnetic cores with class-B/F/H insulation systems — rather than any novel platform architecture.

Commercially, the firm runs a sales-led B2B model with direct engagement on custom/special builds against customer specifications, one-time hardware sales with undisclosed pricing, no public distribution or channel partners, and no disclosed digital or ecosystem components. Revenue, headcount, and contract value are not publicly disclosed. Quality and regulatory positioning is anchored by ISO 9001:2015 certification (August 2016 update from the 2008 norm) and UL 1446/CSA C22.2 certification (File Nr. E475840, Class 155(F) and 180(H), achieved 2015), which qualify products for European and North American sale; memberships in CDO, Confartigianato Donne Impresa, and Confartigianato Piemonte Imprese embed the firm in Italian SME business networks.

Products and services

• Transformers and Autotransformers Dry type single and three-phase control, power, insulation, and safety transformers, plus autotransformers, for industrial applications. Includes control transformers (50VA–25KVA single-phase, up to 40KVA three-phase), insulation transformers (up to 1000V AC, 500Hz), safety transformers (up to 10KVA single-phase / 16KVA three-phase, max 50V output), and power transformers (up to 1100V). Designed for industrial buyers needing IEC EN/CEI and UL/CSA-compliant magnetic components.
• Inductors and Reactors Dry type core inductors and reactors compliant with CEI 14.5 and EN IEC 76-6, available in insulation classes B, F, and H. Manufactured using wires, rectangular wires, multi-wire and strips in copper or aluminum on stainless steel or aluminum substrates to minimise eddy currents and additional losses. Applications include starter motor, filtering (network or output), current/short circuit limitation, leveling, conversion plants and straightening, power factor correction, open/closed transition, and mutual isolation. Air-core inductors and reactors are also offered with the same compliance profile.
• Industrial Projects (Custom Dry Type Magnetic Components) Design and manufacturing of dry type magnetic components for custom industrial applications, including customer-designed special executions. Accompaniments include electrostatic screens, adjustment tappings, thermal protectors and thermistors, DIN mounting brackets, and protection enclosures (painted metal shields with selectable protection index, color, accessories, wheels, trolley, fans, electrical devices; plastic enclosure available for small transformers).
