Probably simple for some of you. but I have no idea what this is. The whole thing weighs 31.5 pounds. The transformer inside weighs 21 pounds. Thanks.

Kind of looks like a big power inverter, what kind of hook-up's (plug-in's) are on the ends?? That alum. looks to be a heatsink.
kind of looks like a sodium ballast from the side... like one of these:
Amazon.com: Xtrasun BAS400A 400-Watt Xtrasun Sodium HPS Ballast: Patio, Lawn & Garden
The whole exterior is extruded aluminum but i don't think it was intended to act as a heat sink. There are no plug-ins. there is a wire that goes in from each end (they were cut off) and attaches to the transformer.
Its an inverter is my guess.
Could have been one "hard wired" into a chassis like a motorhome maybe,,,Quote:

Whatever it is, I got two of them. Nice - each has six pounds of extrusion and a 21 pound transformer that I figure will give out five pounds of copper.
Sounds more like what I have always called a step down transformer. A small transformer alongside a big transformer. Its like running 110 or something off a 250 kva transformer. They are usually steel though.
