Product structure

The structure of the 10kV dry-type transformer (epoxy casting type) is based on the epoxy resin insulation system, which is compact and modular as a whole, and is mainly composed of the following key parts:

.Iron core

Using 0.3mm high permeability cold-rolled silicon steel sheet (such as 30Q120), it is laser cut and stacked with a 45-degree full miter seam to form a closed magnetic circuit. The core column is tied with a non-weft glass ribbon, and the yoke is fixed by a pull plate. The surface of the silicon steel sheet is coated with insulating paint, and epoxy insulation gaskets are placed between the core and the base to ensure ground insulation.

.Winding

1.High-voltage winding: using high-purity electrolytic copper wire, covered with F-grade polyimide film, cylindrical or segmented cake winding, DMD insulation paper between layers, epoxy braces between sections to form a cooling airway. The whole is vacuum-cast epoxy resin and cured into an F-class insulating castable.

2.Low voltage winding: small capacity is used for copper wire cylinder winding, large capacity (≥ 800kVA) is used for 0.3-0.5mm copper foil winding, insulation with DMD or Nomex paper between layers, and epoxy end ring cured at the end. It is arranged concentrically with the high-pressure winding, and 8-12mm axial cooling air ducts are reserved.

.Insulation system

FAQS

10kV Dry Type Transformer SCB10/SCB11/SCB12/SCB13/SCB18 Series FAQs

You may want to know the following questions and answers when purchasing.

.Basic Concepts

Oil-immersed transformers, dry-type transformers, pre-installed substations, high and low voltage switchgear and supporting power equipment

Supplement: Covers 10kV-500kV full voltage level, maximum capacity 500MVA

It must be determined based on the nominal voltage, grounding mode, and maximum fault current of the system!

For example, a 10kV neutral point is grounded by an arc suppression coil, and the matching capacity is suitable according to 1.2 – 1.5 times the total capacitance current of the system. You only need to provide the grid parameters (voltage, load, grounding method, etc.), and our technical team will choose the model for free to accurately adapt to your system.

Safety performance: dry type has no fire risk and can be close to densely populated areas; The oil-immersed type requires fire prevention measures, and leakage may pollute the environment.

Applicable scenarios: dry type is used indoor, medium and low voltage (≤ 35kV), power ≤ 30MVA; The oil-immersed type is used outdoor, high voltage (≥ 110kV), power ≥ 30MVA.

Maintenance cost: dry type only needs dust removal and winding inspection (1-2 years); The oil-immersed type requires regular oil testing, oil filtration/oil change (3-5 years).

Environmental performance: dry type pollution-free, RoHS compliant; The oil-immersed type requires a leak-proof design, and synthetic ester oil is degradable but the cost is high.

Energy efficiency performance: dry full load efficiency of 98%-99%, high temperature needs to be reduced capacity; The oil-immersed type has a full load efficiency of 99%+ and is suitable for high-temperature environments.

Service life: dry type 20-30 years (H grade can reach 40 years); Oil-immersed type 30-50 years (when the oil quality is good).

 

Selection suggestions

Choose dry type: indoor installation, high safety requirements, and easy maintenance scenarios

 

Choose oil-immersed type: high-capacity, high-pressure, outdoor installation scenarios

35kV is suitable for large-capacity, high-voltage grid access scenarios above 2000kVA (such as regional substations, new energy booster stations), with higher insulation requirements (the withstand voltage value is about 2 times that of 10kV), and the structure is more complex;

②10kV is suitable for terminal power distribution below 2500kVA (such as factories and commercial centers), and the cost and maintenance are lower. The selection should give priority to matching the voltage and capacity requirements of the upper power grid.

The core difference between the two lies in energy efficiency and cost characteristics, which are recommended to be selected according to actual application needs:

①Amorphous Alloy Transformer (SCBH)

No-load loss is 60-70% lower than traditional silicon steel transformers, with great long-term energy savings and strong environmental benefits.

Higher initial cost (core materials cost 30-50% more).

Best for long idle periods, stable loads, and electricity cost-sensitive settings: data centers, commercial buildings, hospitals.

②Epoxy resin transformer (SCB).

Low initial cost, mature silicon steel technology, better short-term value.

High mechanical strength, strong short-circuit resistance, low noise, and adapts well to complex environments.

Ideal for standard industrial power distribution, high short-circuit risk, or stability-critical scenarios: factories, general power systems.

Selection suggestions:

If the focus is on long-term energy saving, long operating time, and stable load, choose SCBH;

If you are concerned about initial cost, short-circuit resistance and wide adaptability, choose SCB.

Commercial complex: Dry-type transformer (AN cooling), high fire protection requirements, easy maintenance

Offshore wind power booster station: oil-immersed transformer (synthetic ester oil), high power demand, anti-corrosion design

Metro power distribution: dry-type transformer (H-class insulation), low-smoke halogen-free, moisture-proof and shockproof

Oil platform: oil-immersed transformer (Ex d explosion-proof), explosion-proof certification, salt spray resistant

Notes:

①Dry-type transformer derating of 1% per 1°C at ambient temperature > 40°C

②The oil-immersed type needs to be equipped with an oil pool (capacity ≥ 100% oil volume) or a nitrogen fire extinguishing system

Large-scale projects can adopt the combination scheme of “dry change + oil change”

SCB10: Level 3 energy efficiency, low price, suitable for small communities and light industrial plants with tight budgets

SCB11: Energy efficiency is better than SCB10, affordable, suitable for small and medium-sized commercial establishments

SCB12: Secondary energy efficiency, no-load loss is reduced by 22-25% compared to SCB10, suitable for medium-sized supermarkets, schools, and photovoltaic projects

④SCB13: Better energy efficiency and lower loss than SCB12, suitable for industrial enterprises and large communities with high energy saving requirements

⑤SCB14: First-class energy efficiency, high magnetic conductivity material, low PAD, IP54 protection, suitable for high-end scenarios such as data centers

⑥SCB18: ultra-efficient, 50% load efficiency of 99.34%, silent (48dB), strong anti-short circuit ability, suitable for hospitals and scientific research institutions

Scene noise limit

Residential area at night: ≤45dB (AN cooling + vibration isolation required)

Commercial Daytime: ≤60dB (AF Cooling + Basic Vibration Isolation Allowed)

Industrial area: ≤75dB (can be directly installed with AF cooling)

Testing and customization

Test standard: Background noise is 10dB lower than the sound source, measurement distance 1m (ANSI) or 0.3m (IEC)

Ultra-quiet solution: ≤ 48dB (2000kVA) in AN mode, equipped with step laminated iron core + silicone rubber shock absorber

Note: The actual noise needs to consider on-site factors, and it is recommended to simulate the sound field.

. Operation and maintenance and assurance

No! Routine maintenance once every 1-2 years is sufficient, mainly for surface dust removal, insulation resistance measurement, and grounding connection check; Forced air-cooled models have their lower fan status checked annually.

Compared with oil-immersed transformers, the dry structure is maintenance-free, saving the troubles of oil change and oil level checking, and the operation and maintenance cost is much lower.

Life expectancy

• Standard condition: 20-30 years (regular load, indoor environment, basic maintenance).

• Ideal conditions: more than 40 years (optimized load, strict maintenance, class H insulation).

• Harsh environment: < 15 years (high temperature and high humidity/no protection).

Life factors and maintenance points

Material selection

Adopt H-grade insulation to extend the life by 5-10 years

Amorphous alloy/high magnetic conductivity silicon steel core can extend the life of 10-15 years

Operational control

Optimal 80% load rate

For every 10°C increase in ambient temperature, life is reduced by 50%

Harmonic THD>5% will shorten the life by 20%-40%

Environmental requirements

Indoor: Humidity < 70% + regular dusting

Outdoor: IP55/IP65 protection required

Maintenance measures

Real-time monitoring of hot spot temperature (H-level ≤ 180°C)

Annual inspection: winding resistance, partial discharge

Three-year test: short-circuit impedance

Continuous monitoring of harmonic THD (target<5%)

Life extension program

Customized solution: H-grade insulation + copper winding (promised 35 years of life, annual inspection required)

Intelligent monitoring: Install IoT remote monitoring system

Maintenance plan: Establish a preventive maintenance system and record operating data
