Product Description
The Dry Type Transformer uses air for the cooling of the device and is safer option as compared to oil type which is widely used in transportation hubs and company buildings. This system is highly effective and are resistant to chemical contaminants as they do not contain any liquid medium for cooling. The windings and core of the dry type transformer are kept within a sealed tank that is pressurized with air. It is an efficient system with a high mechanical strength and are free from temperature fluctuations. There is very less requirement of maintenance and the device is less prone to the fire hazards.
Reliable & Safe OperationDesigned to meet IS 1180, IS 11171, and IEC 60076 standards, the transformer ensures safety through its fire-resistant self-extinguishing encapsulation, robust dielectric strength, and adherence to strict insulation classes. Continuous duty with an overload margin makes it a dependable choice for various applications.
Flexible & Customizable SolutionsOur transformer offers broad customization, from winding connections, coil structure, and material (copper/aluminum) to input/output voltages and capacity. The protection level and cooling systems (AN/AF with fan provision) can be tailored, ensuring best fit for unique site or process requirements.
FAQs of Dry Type Transformer:
Q: How does the dry type transformer ensure safety in demanding environments?
A: This transformer uses a self-extinguishing (flame-retardant) encapsulation and robust insulation (Class F / Class H), meeting IS 11171 and IEC 60076 standards. Its protection level (IP23, customizable) shields against dust and water spray, making it suitable for industrial applications where fire and environmental safety are essential.
Q: What is the typical process for customizing a dry type transformer for specific industrial needs?
A: To customize your transformer, specify capacity (502500 kVA), voltage requirements (up to 33 kV high voltage, 400V/433V low voltage), winding connections (Dyn11, Yyn0, etc.), cooling method (AN/AF, fan provision), and special features like K-factor design. Manufacturers will design and build the unit to your process parameters and site conditions.
Q: When should forced cooling be considered for the dry type transformer?
A: Forced cooling (Air Forced, AF) is recommended if your application involves high loading or if the transformer will frequently operate near its maximum rated capacity. This feature enhances heat dissipation, ensuring transformer longevity and reliability under demanding operating conditions.
Q: Where can these transformers be installed, and what site conditions are suitable?
A: These dry type transformers are ideal for indoor or sheltered industrial environments with ambient temperatures from -25C to +40C and relative humidity up to 95%. Floor-mounted designs make them suitable for stable, level surfaces. Customizable dimensions and IP protection ensure adaptability to various facility layouts.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using a dry type transformer in industrial power distribution?
A: Key advantages include high efficiency (98%+), low maintenance due to the absence of oil, superior fire and environmental safety, noise levels below 65 dB, overload capacity (120% for 1 hour), and strong resistance to harmonics with optional K-factor designs. Custom configurations further enhance process compatibility.
Q: How does the tap changer function contribute to voltage regulation?
A: The off-circuit tap link allows adjustment of the output voltage in 5% increments (2.5% steps), enabling fine-tuning of supply voltage to match load requirements or compensate for voltage drops, thus maintaining stable and reliable output for sensitive equipment.
