Uganda's industrial base is expanding around Kampala, Namanve Industrial Park and Jinja. Food processing, construction materials and a fast-growing solar sector need reliable transformers, inverters and chokes that cope with supply fluctuations.
VA Electricals designs and manufactures buck boost transformers at its works in Bhosari, Pune. Every unit is built to your voltages and rating and tested in-house, then packed for export to buyers in Kampala, Namanve Industrial Park, Jinja and across Uganda.
Built for 240 V single-phase / 415 V three-phase, 50 Hz, with the buck or boost amount chosen to bring your supply to the equipment's rated voltage.
A buck boost transformer raises (boosts) or lowers (bucks) the supply voltage by a small amount so equipment receives the voltage it is designed for. Because it only handles the correction voltage, it is far smaller and more economical than a full isolation transformer for the same load.
For sites in Uganda where the supply sits a little above or below what equipment is rated for, a buck boost transformer corrects the voltage economically, without a full-size transformer.
Lowers a high supply voltage to protect equipment rated for a lower voltage.

Designed around your measured supply range and load.
Sugar, dairy, beverage and grain-milling plants around Kampala and Jinja run process lines.
Typical use: Keeping refrigeration and process motors at rated voltage.
Cement and steel plants run crushers, kilns and induction furnaces.
Typical use: Bucking or boosting supply voltage by a small amount to match equipment.
Off-grid and commercial solar installations need inverter and power-conversion equipment.
Typical use: Bucking or boosting supply voltage by a small amount to match equipment.
Panel builders in Kampala and Namanve supply factories and buildings.
Typical use: Bucking or boosting supply voltage by a small amount to match equipment.
Plastic and packaging manufacturers run extrusion and moulding lines.
Typical use: Bucking or boosting supply voltage by a small amount to match equipment.
Telecom and banking networks depend on UPS and inverter backup.
Typical use: Holding voltage steady at remote equipment sites.
Many sites in Uganda run on a mix of grid power and diesel generators, with voltage swings and frequent changeovers. Tell us your supply conditions and we design with margin on voltage, temperature rise and duty, so equipment stays protected.

Yes. VA Electricals manufactures buck boost transformers at its works in Pune, India and supplies buyers across Uganda, including Kampala, Namanve Industrial Park, Jinja, Mukono, Mbarara.
Yes. Units are built for the 240 V single-phase / 415 V three-phase, 50 Hz supply used in Uganda, with the buck or boost amount chosen to bring your supply to the equipment's rated voltage.
When the supply only needs a small voltage correction and isolation is not required. A buck boost unit handles only the correction voltage, so it is smaller, lighter and lower in cost for the same load.
VA Electricals operates an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system and holds MSME ZED Bronze certification. Its products carry CE conformity under the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, covering transformers up to 200 kVA.
Shipped by sea to Mombasa or Dar es Salaam, then by road to Kampala, with air freight to Entebbe for urgent needs.
Yes. Tell us about voltage fluctuations, generator use and ambient temperature. We build in margin on voltage, temperature rise and duty so units stay reliable on unstable supplies.
Share your voltages, rating and quantity. Our engineers will send a technical offer for supply to Kampala, Namanve Industrial Park, Jinja or anywhere in Uganda.
