Frequently asked questions

TransformerPath is the transformer industry platform — daily market intelligence, a worldwide manufacturer & supplier directory, an electrical-grid census, a transformer/electrical events & webinar directory, and hands-on engineering tools (the IEC 60076 design calculator, rating-plate and test-report generators).

Yes — the core is free forever: Daily Intel, the basic manufacturer & supplier directories, events, webinars, grids, industry news, knowledge articles, job browsing, RFQ submission and a selection of engineering calculators and book excerpts.

Learning $199, Professional $599 and Team $1,999 — each a single payment for 12 months of access, with no auto-renewal. If checkout is paused, email hello@transformerpath.com.

A live IEC 60076 transformer design calculator for distribution, power and cast-resin modes: rating plate, core & winding sizing, turns, conductors, losses & efficiency, leakage reactance, short-circuit thermal withstand (IEC 60076-5), impulse / BIL levels, a to-scale cross-section drawing, and a downloadable PDF design report plus a BOM (Excel).

The TransformerPath Professional Engineering Series (V1, V2) is sold separately — digital Professional Edition and a Premium printed edition — and can be bundled with a membership. Book chapters link to the Academy lessons and the interactive 3D models.

Profiles are TransformerPath-created from public sources (verified listings). Companies can claim and verify their profile — Verified and Pro levels confirm the information, and we make clear we do not guarantee product quality.

Updated hourly, free, with an RSS feed. Each item links to its original source, and the paper is region-filterable.

Not today. Accounts are being added so engineers can keep saved designs, bookmarks, notes and follows in one workspace — you'll be able to sign up and use it on any device.

Via the Learning/Professional/Team buttons on the pricing page (Stripe checkout). If payments are temporarily paused while links are refreshed, email hello@transformerpath.com and we'll send the checkout link.

No — TransformerPath is not an accreditation body; it issues course completion records for its learning tracks. These are not accredited qualifications, professional certifications, licences, or authorisations to practise engineering. Academy courses and capstones are manually reviewed, and each completion record carries a unique verification page.

Yes. Suppliers can take a Verified / Pro / Premium tier to control their profile, publish a catalogue, get enhanced search placement, analytics and RFQ eligibility. Claim your profile from its listing page.

Engineering content and tools follow IEC 60076 (and IEEE/ANSI C57 where relevant). Methodology, assumptions and limitations are documented on each calculator; results are a first-cut/tender-grade design, not a final works design.
