dry type distribution transformer
A dry type distribution transformer is an essential electrical device designed to convert voltage levels while maintaining power distribution efficiency and safety. Unlike oil-filled transformers, these units use air as their cooling medium and feature solid insulation materials, typically made from high-quality epoxy resin. The transformer's core consists of high-grade silicon steel laminations that minimize energy losses and ensure optimal performance. These transformers operate by transferring electrical energy between circuits through electromagnetic induction, with primary and secondary windings encapsulated in epoxy resin for superior insulation and protection. They are specifically engineered to function in indoor environments, making them ideal for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and urban infrastructure. The dry type design eliminates the risk of oil leakage and fire hazards, while also reducing maintenance requirements and environmental concerns. These transformers typically range from 100 kVA to 3000 kVA and can handle voltages up to 35 kV, making them versatile for various applications. Their compact design and superior safety features have made them increasingly popular in modern electrical distribution systems, particularly in areas where fire safety and environmental considerations are paramount.
