Portuguese term or phrase: pad mount transformer
This is a part of a wind turbine generator, the term "pad-mounted" also appears once. There's no further context because it's actually a list of parts in general.

Padmount transformer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A padmount or pad-mounted transformer is a ground mounted electric power distribution transformer in a locked steel cabinet mounted on a concrete pad. Since all energized connection points are securely enclosed in a grounded metal housing, a padmount transformer can be installed in places that do not have room for a fenced enclosure. Padmount transformers are used with underground electric power distribution lines at service drops, to step down the primary voltage on the line to the lower secondary voltage supplied to utility customers. A single transformer may serve one large building, or many homes.
