Functional Features:
-
Epoxy vacuum casting: Windings are manufactured using H-class insulation material with VPI (vacuum pressure impregnation) process, delivering high mechanical strength and excellent moisture resistance.
-
Flame-retardant design: Insulation uses self-extinguishing Nomex/epoxy systems compliant with UL 94 V-0, oil-free and pollution-free.
-
Temperature monitoring: Pre-embedded PT100/PT1000 temperature sensors support connection to dry-type transformer temperature controllers.
-
IP protection: IP20 as standard; IP21/IP23 enclosures available as options.
Material Composition:
-
Core: High-permeability, low-loss cold-rolled grain-oriented silicon steel (CRGO), stacked with 45° fully mitred joints
-
Windings: Copper conductors (Cu) with H-class epoxy vacuum casting insulation
-
Insulation parts: Nomex aramid paper, epoxy glass cloth
-
Enclosure: Powder-coated steel plate (stainless steel enclosure optional)
Structural Features:
-
Core and windings form independent modules for ease of transport and installation
-
Low-voltage side configurable for top or bottom cable exit
-
Lifting eyes provided; bolt-down or concrete-foundation mounting via base holes
Working Principle: Based on electromagnetic induction — AC current in the primary (high-voltage) winding produces alternating magnetic flux, which is coupled through the core to the secondary (low-voltage) winding, inducing a voltage and thereby performing voltage transformation. The dry-type transformer uses air as the cooling medium; heat is dissipated via natural convection or forced-air cooling.
Application Scenarios: Commercial buildings, data centres, hospitals, schools, airports, industrial plants, metro and rail transit systems.
Installation Requirements:
-
Install in a well-ventilated indoor transformer room; ambient temperature ≤ 40 °C
-
Maintain a maintenance aisle of ≥ 0.8 m around the transformer
-
Foundation shall be level; deviation ≤ 2 mm/m
-
Core, enclosure, and neutral point must be reliably grounded; grounding resistance ≤ 4 Ω
Usage Precautions:
-
Monitor winding temperature during operation; maximum permissible temperature for Class F insulated windings is 155 °C
-
Avoid prolonged overloading; load factor recommended below 80%
-
Clean dust from the transformer surface regularly to maintain clear ventilation paths
-
Perform insulation resistance testing at least once per year using a 2500 V megohmmeter
