We're thrilled to announce that the Pelco TB2N1 Transformer Base has been successfully validated through MASH 2016 crash testing. Our TB2N1 was included in a complete assembly (a 25-foot luminaire pole with a 10-foot arm and transformer base) that passed all three levels of MASH testing. This certification represents a significant commitment to crashworthy design and the safety of the infrastructure professionals who depend on our products.

When specifying traffic signal infrastructure, the terms "transformer base" and "foundation" are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. Each component serves a distinct purpose, and understanding how they work together can save time during design, streamline installation, and ensure your project meets safety and compliance standards from the start.

Traffic signals do a lot more than guide drivers through intersections. They stand up to weather conditions from wind and ice to extreme temperatures, day after day. The backplate behind the signal head plays a critical role in visibility, but traditional designs come with a hidden cost: they dramatically increase the structural loads that stress the entire mounting system. Pelco Products set out to solve that problem, and the result is the AeroFlex flexible backplate.
