Windings: thicker insulation, greater distance, more complex (multi – segmented) winding, thicker insulation material, higher process reqs (e.g., double vacuum casting). Cooling: mostly forced air cooling, stronger heat – dissipation. Auxiliaries: stricter shell & grounding protection.
Ⅰ.Iron core
Generally made of high-quality grain-oriented cold-rolled silicon steel sheet, with 45-degree full miter seam and no perforation structure of the yoke to ensure low no-load loss. The core column is fixed with a new structure of F-grade weftless belt binding and iron yoke non-punching pull plate, and the surface of the core is encapsulated with epoxy resin, which reduces the impact of magnetic leakage, effectively improves the magnetic circuit distribution, and reduces core noise, no-load loss and no-load current.
Ⅱ.Winding
1.The high-voltage winding adopts segmented layering, and is vacuum cast and molded with epoxy resin with filler, which reduces the partial discharge inside the winding and improves the electrical performance of the coil. The interlayer of the winding is made of DMD epoxy prepreg cloth and the surface is filled with fiberglass mesh cloth, which enhances mechanical strength and resistance to short circuits.
2.The low-voltage winding adopts a foil structure, the coil adopts an axial cooling air duct to enhance heat dissipation capacity, DMD epoxy resin prepreg cloth is used between the layers, and the end is sealed with epoxy resin, and the whole is cured and molded.
Ⅲ.Insulation system
Insulation materials are essential for ensuring the safe operation of transformers, including insulating paints, insulating paper, insulating pipes, etc., which are used to wrap windings and cores to improve their insulation performance.
At the same time, the winding is cast and cured by epoxy resin, which has good insulation properties.
Ⅳ.Cooling system
Usually equipped with a cooling system, including natural cooling and forced air cooling.
Natural cooling increases the heat dissipation area through the heat sink or heat sink on the shell, and uses air convection to achieve heat dissipation.
Forced air cooling is equipped with fans and other equipment to enhance heat dissipation through forced ventilation.
Ⅴ.Temperature control system:
Adopting intelligent temperature controller, the temperature measurement element is buried in the upper half of the low-voltage coil, which can automatically detect and patrol the respective working temperature of the three-phase coil, with fault alarm, over-temperature alarm, over-temperature trip and black box functions, and can be connected to the computer through RS485 serial interface to achieve centralized monitoring and control.

You may want to know the following questions and answers when purchasing.
Ⅰ.Basic Concepts
1. What are your main products?
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
2. What is the maximum capacity of 35kV dry variable?
Thanks to the development of technologies such as forced air cooling (AF), the capacity of 35kV epoxy resin dry change can now cover 20MVA or more, which is sufficient to meet the needs of most large-scale industrial and new energy projects.
3. How to choose the right capacity and voltage level?
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.
4. How to choose between dry-type transformers and oil-immersed transformers?
①Safety 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.
②Applicable 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.
③Maintenance 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).
④Environmental 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.
⑤Energy 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.
⑥Service 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
5.What are the differences between 35kV Dry-type transformers and 10kV Dry-type transformers?
①35kV 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.
6. How to choose Amorphous Alloy Transformers vs Epoxy Resin Transformers?
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.
7. Which transformer is recommended for typical application scenarios?
①Commercial complex: Dry-type transformer (AN cooling), high fire protection requirements, easy maintenance
②Offshore wind power booster station: oil-immersed transformer (synthetic ester oil), high power demand, anti-corrosion design
③Metro power distribution: dry-type transformer (H-class insulation), low-smoke halogen-free, moisture-proof and shockproof
④Oil 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”

Ⅳ. Operation and maintenance and assurance
1. Does it require special maintenance during operation?
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.
2. What is the life expectancy of a dry-type transformer under normal operating conditions?
①Life 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).
②Life 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%)
③Life 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
By optimizing material selection, operational control, and maintenance strategies, dry-type transformer lifespan can be significantly extended. It is recommended to choose the appropriate configuration and maintenance scenario according to the specific application environment.
