ISRI Code : NA
Aluminum Transformers are basically aluminum wires around a steel core. It may also contain an outer case surrounding the aluminum wiring. They are often found in electrical systems. Aluminum Transformers can be of various sizes and capacities.
These transformers are similar in look to Copper Transformers. The only way to distinguish between them is by identifying the type of wiring around the core. After the wire is cut, if it is white in color, they are aluminum.
Small transformers are not worth pulling out. However, the heavier ones are valuable and worth scrapping. Proper scrapping and sorting of components into various scrap grades will fetch better prices than throwing it away as a single unit.
