These are commonly used by larger municipal utilities such as LADWP. The Stalder Building located at the corner of Market Street and Mission Inn Avenue, will be the first zero property line customer for Riverside Public Utilities (RPU). Engineering staff determined that the Station Class Transformer was the transformer of choice for this project. Station Class Transformer Padmounted Transformer Page 20
