DRY TYPE DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER

What is a dry-type transformer? Non-oil HV transformers High voltage transformers used in the utility grid are typically insulated by being immersed in a tank of oil, and cooled by natural convection (circulation) of the oil. A "dry type" transformer is not immersed in oil, and is cooled by air convection or by fans.

Dry-type transformers and the advantages and disadvantages of oil-immersed transformers

The price of oil becomes more expensive than dry change. Volume, high-capacity oil change and more change than dry. Comprehensive building (basements, floors, roof, etc.) and personnel-intensive field changes required to use the dry. Oil change places with in a separate Electricity Transformer. Commonly used within the transformer. Outdoor temporary power generally uses the oil change. In the building, changes in the space to select the dry and oil change, larger space can choose the oil change, the more crowded space options dry change. Comparison of regional climate hot and humid areas, easy to use and oil change. If you use dry change of circumstances, must be equipped with forced air cooling equipment. y y y the appearance of the different packages, Dry Transformers can directly see the core and coil, and transformer oil transformer can only see the shell; lead a different form of dry-type transformers are mostly used silicone rubber tube, and transformer oil Most use ceramic casing; different capacity and voltage dry-type transformers are generally applicable to power distribution, capacity mostly in 1600KVA below 10KV voltage below have to do 35KV voltage level of the individual; and they can be small transformer oil to large to do all the capacity, voltage ratings also did all the voltage; China is building 1000KV UHV test line, must be used in transformer oil. insulation and heat not the same as the general resin dry type transformers insulated by natural air-cooled, highcapacity cooling by the fan, and oil-type transformers were insulated by the insulating oil, insulating oil in transformers by the cycle of the coil within the tropics to the transformer radiators (panels) on the heat. for most places dry-type transformers used in the need to "fire, explosion," the place for large buildings, tall buildings easy to use; the Oil Power Transformer as "trouble" there may be a oil spray or leak and cause fire, mostly used in outdoor venues and have to dig a "oil pool accident," the place. The load bearing capacity of dry-type transformers are different from the rated capacity should be run, the oil type transformer overload better. The cost is different for the same capacity of the transformer, dry type transformer purchase price than the price of oil much higher. Dry-type transformer models usually begin with SC (cast resin encapsulation type), SCR (non-insulated envelope-type solid epoxy resin cast), SG (open type)

What is the disadvantage of using dry type transformer? Unlike liquid filled transformers they are exposed to the surrounding environment, such as moisture, dirt and other airborne contaminents.
