The voltage and frequency in the Canadian industrial and commercial power grids, typically 600V/60Hz or 480V/60Hz, differ significantly from those of Chinese export equipment, which is mostly adapted to 380V/50Hz.

In July 2025, Shanghai Instal Electric Group announced that its specially developed three - phase 600V/480V to 380V transformer has successfully passed the authoritative certifications of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL). This achievement positions Instal as one of the few domestic manufacturers capable of meeting the stringent electrical standards in North America.​
The voltage and frequency in the Canadian industrial and commercial power grids, typically 600V/60Hz or 480V/60Hz, differ significantly from those of Chinese export equipment, which is mostly adapted to 380V/50Hz. To solve this problem, Instal's R & D team spent over a year optimizing for the complex Canadian grid environment. By using high - quality high - permeability silicon steel sheets and low - loss oxygen - free copper wire windings, the power conversion efficiency exceeds 98%. The product can also withstand input voltage fluctuations of 600V/480V±10% and maintain the output voltage at 380V±2% (with an error ≤1%). This makes it suitable for local equipment like air compressors in factories, automated production lines, and central air - conditioning in commercial buildings.
