The outdoor dry-type transformer is a power equipment specifically designed for outdoor environments.
The outdoor dry-type transformer is a power equipment specifically designed for outdoor environments. Featuring an oil-free insulation structure, it offers fire resistance, explosion resistance, and moisture resistance, making it suitable for voltage transformation needs in urban power distribution networks, industrial and mining enterprises, and other settings. The following analysis covers five dimensions: core characteristics, application scenarios, key selection points, typical models, and development trends.
I. Core Characteristics
1. Oil-Free Insulation, Safe and Environmentally Friendly
Utilizing solid insulation materials such as epoxy resin and glass fiber, it completely eliminates the risks of oil leakage, flammability, and explosiveness associated with oil-immersed transformers, with no pollution emissions, meeting environmental requirements.
2. Enhanced Protection Performance
Enclosure Design: Made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or cold-rolled steel plate, with an IP54 or higher protection rating to withstand rain, dust, and salt spray erosion.
Cooling System: Utilizes natural ventilation or forced air cooling (e.g., axial fans) for heat dissipation. Some models are equipped with intelligent temperature control systems that automatically adjust fan speed based on load to ensure stable operating temperatures.
3. High Mechanical Strength
The compact structure of the iron core and windings provides strong short-circuit resistance, enabling it to withstand vibrations, impacts, and temperature fluctuations in outdoor environments.
4. Low Maintenance Costs
It avoids issues such as oil aging and seal replacements found in oil-immersed transformers, resulting in longer maintenance intervals. Some models support maintenance-free designs.
II. Application Scenarios
1. Urban Power Distribution Networks
As the core equipment in outdoor box-type substations, it provides stable power to residential areas and commercial centers, especially in scenarios with insufficient fire separation or limited space.
2. Industrial Sectors
In heavy industrial environments such as mining, chemicals, and metallurgy, it tolerates dust, corrosive gases, and high temperatures, ensuring continuous equipment operation.
3. New Energy and Transportation
Wind/Photovoltaic Power Plants: Serves as a step-up transformer to elevate generation-side voltage to grid transmission levels.
Rail Transit: Used in the traction power supply systems of subways and light rail, meeting high reliability and low noise requirements.
4. Special Environments
In extreme climates such as plateaus, high-altitude regions, and coastal areas, it adapts to environmental demands through customized designs (e.g., enhanced anti-corrosion coatings and optimized cooling structures).
III. Key Selection Points
1. Capacity and Load Matching
Calculate the apparent capacity based on the total power of electrical equipment and reserve a 20% margin for future expansion. For example, with a total power of 500 kW and a power factor of 0.8, a transformer with a capacity of ≥625 kVA is required; 750 kVA is recommended for safety.
2. Voltage Rating Adaptation
High-Voltage Side: Must match the supply grid voltage (e.g., 10 kV, 35 kV).
Low-Voltage Side: Customized based on load requirements (e.g., 0.4 kV, 0.69 kV). Special equipment (e.g., mining machinery) requires a 690 V voltage rating.
3. Insulation Rating and Temperature Rise Limits
Insulation Rating: F-class (155°C) or H-class (180°C) insulation materials to adapt to high-temperature environments.
Temperature Rise Limits: Prioritize low-temperature-rise models (e.g., 60 K) to reduce losses and noise, extending service life.
4. Protection Rating and Environmental Adaptability
General Outdoor Scenarios: IP54 protection rating for dust and water resistance.
Chemical/Coastal Areas: IP55 protection rating with a salt spray-resistant enclosure.
High-Altitude Regions: Require special designs to compensate for the impact of thin air on cooling.
IV. Typical Model Analysis
Example: SCB10-630KVA
Rated Capacity: 630 kVA, meeting the load demands of small to medium-sized industrial or commercial applications.
Voltage Combination: 10.5 kV (high-voltage side)/0.4 kV (low-voltage side), compatible with 10 kV power distribution networks.
Performance Advantages:
No-load losses are 20% lower than national standards, and load losses are 15% lower, offering significant energy savings.
Partial discharge ≤10 pC, indicating excellent insulation performance.
Noise levels are 15 dB lower than standard values, suitable for noise-sensitive areas.
Application Scenarios: Urban box-type substations, factory power distribution rooms, and commercial complexes.
V. Development Trends
1. Intelligent Upgrades
Integration of IoT sensors for real-time monitoring of temperature, load, and partial discharge parameters, enabling remote operation and maintenance and fault warnings via cloud platforms.
2. High Efficiency and Energy Savings
Adoption of amorphous alloy iron cores and low-loss winding materials reduces no-load losses by over 50%, meeting national first-class energy efficiency standards.
3. Modular Design
Supports rapid installation and expansion, adapting to distributed energy access needs and shortening project construction cycles.
4. Application of Environmentally Friendly Materials
Development of biodegradable insulation materials to reduce environmental pollution after equipment retirement, promoting green lifecycle management.
The main products include oil immersed transformers, dry-type transformers, power transformers, amorphous alloy transformers, mining transformers, box type substations, high and low voltage switchgear and supporting products
