Transformer

That looks like a transformer, not an inverter. It seems to have a 1900V primary. Is that a distribution voltage in South Africa? It seems very low for a distribution voltage, and very high for a load voltage.

I don't think you'll get many takers. Maybe you can get a bit for scrap metal? Assuming that you came across it legally, of course.

I believe  from substation to endpoints are 11kv. 1.9kv appears to me like a private spur for farms etc which cant afford complilcated  voltage overhead infrastructure but still keeping copper  size down.

It looks like you have a piece of kit that used to belong to Bloemfontein (Mangaung) Municipality.

If you have legal possession of it, and wish to sell it, please use the Classifieds template.  

Not necessarily Bloemfontein municipality, Bloemfontein transformers is the name of the manufacture, I've been to that factory.
