1921 A separate Transformer Division was set up, rebuilding the transformer business which had languished over the past decade.

1926 The Central Electricity Board was created to construct the national grid, something Sebastian Ferranti had advocated for a long time. Ferranti Ltd won the largest single share of the orders for large three-phase transformers, having persuaded the commissioners to use this type of equipment in place of the planned single-phase equipment.

1930 Large contracts were in hand to supply transformers and meters for the Central Electricity Board. The company had customers all over the world

1957 The Distribution Transformers Department was set up
