Aerospace Industry
Military and defense equipment and various aircraft systems frequently use aerospace transformers. These are designed to modify voltage and current to function safely in various types of electrical systems. Stangenes offers standard and custom transformers for customers in the aerospace industry, with multiple types available based on the specific application.
What Is an Aerospace Transformer?
Aerospace transformers feature designs that meet the demanding standards of aerospace applications, providing efficient power transmission for high-voltage components and mission-critical systems. Their essential function is to transmit and distribute power, with well-designed transformers effectively managing reliable and safe electrical power levels while withstanding environmental factors such as:
- Altitude
- Air pressure changes
- Temperature fluctuations
- Vibrations
As such, transformers from Stangenes serve an integral purpose in many types of modern aircraft systems, including communications, avionics, navigation, and control systems.

Types of Transformers Used in the Aerospace Industry
All Stangenes transformers, including general, pulse, isolation, and current transformers, can be built and tested to meet the demands of aerospace environments. However, there are specific types within these categories that can be used to meet the often demanding requirements of the aerospace industry. These include high-voltage transformers, inverter transformers, toroidal transformers, and trigger transformers.
High-Voltage Transformers
Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) can utilize high-voltage transformers from Stangenes Industries to manage high frequencies anywhere from tens of kilohertz to multiple megahertz. This ability to work with high frequencies makes these aerospace transformers ideal for power conversion in aircraft systems where efficiency and weight are critical considerations.
Toroidal Transformers
This transformer design features an efficient core in the shape of a doughnut, which helps contain the component’s magnetic field while mitigating the risk of electromagnetic interference (EMI) within the system. This feature is particularly important in aircraft systems that might otherwise experience issues with EMI while providing systems with a low-profile design.
Trigger Transformers
These specialized models generate high-voltage electrical pulses to control ejection seats or ignite aircraft engines. Generally, we recommend these components for applications that require precision triggering and an interference-free solution in a low-profile design.
Inverter Transformers
These voltage-fed power transformers can transfer electrical energy without changing the frequency. They are used in certain aircraft systems to convert a portion of DC power to AC. We can provide these in single or three-phase designs according to customer specifications.
Advantages of Transformers for the Aerospace Industry
Aerospace transformers offer several benefits that make them essential in many applications. A major advantage of using Stangenes transformers is the ability to provide efficient and sustained power distribution for essential aircraft systems.
