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.

Each spring, as construction season kicks off across the country, National Work Zone Awareness Week returns to deliver a message that should never have to be repeated but always needs to be heard. This year, NWZAW runs April 20 through 24, 2026, hosted by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, under the theme "Safe Actions Save Lives."

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.
