Power Transformer

Power Transformer (11kV to 220kV Liquid-Immersed Step-Up and Step-Down Transformers)

 

Liquid-immersed power transformers step up voltage for long-distance power transmission or step down voltage for regional distribution substations. Designed in compliance with IEC 60076 and IEEE C57 standards, these transformers integrate high-permeability grain-oriented silicon steel cores, copper windings, and active cooling radiators to maintain stable continuous operation under heavy electrical loads.

Product Types

Substation Step-Down Power Transformer

Reduces high-voltage transmission levels to medium-voltage distribution circuits for municipal grids and industrial complexes. Features On-Load Tap Changers (OLTC) for real-time voltage regulation under varying grid loads.

Renewable Energy Step-Up Transformer (GSU)

Step-up power transformer installed at wind farms and solar PV plants to boost inverter output voltage (e.g., 0.69kV/33kV or 33kV/138kV) to grid interconnect levels. Engineered to handle high harmonic contents and frequent load fluctuations.

Industrial Dedicated Power Transformer

Heavy-duty transformers configured for arc furnaces, chemical electrolysis plants, and mining sites. Built with reinforced mechanical bracing to withstand high current surges and repetitive short-circuit stresses.

Applications

Utility Transmission and Distribution: Serves as the core voltage conversion equipment in primary grid substations, switching regional high-voltage loops.

 

Solar and Wind Generation Hubs: Steps up cumulative generation voltage from central inverters and turbine transformers for utility-scale grid tie-in.

 

Heavy Manufacturing Facilities: Supplies continuous power to steel mills, paper factories, and manufacturing complexes requiring dedicated high-capacity transformers.

 

 
Customization Options

Voltage and Tapping Range: Customized primary/secondary voltage ratings with +/-8 x 1.25% or +/-10 x 1.0% OLTC tapping steps from MR or ABB tap changers.

02/

Insulating Fluid Options: Standard naphthenic mineral oil, or biodegradable synthetic ester fluid (K-class, flash point > 300 degrees C) for fire-sensitive urban or indoor installations.

03/

On-Line Monitoring Systems (DGA): Integrated Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) sensors, fiber-optic real-time winding temperature monitoring, and oil moisture transmitters compatible with SCADA protocols (IEC 61850, Modbus).

04/

Corrosion Control Coatings: C4 or C5-M industrial paint systems applied via multi-layer shot blasting and epoxy-polyurethane coating for coastal or high-salinity offshore environments.

 

 

Quality and Compliance

Standards Compliance: Designed, manufactured, and tested per IEC 60076-1 through 60076-5, IEEE C57.12.00, and ISO 9001/14001 quality management systems.

 

Short-Circuit Withstand Capability: Core and winding assemblies feature high-density pressboard spacers and rigid radial clamping systems verified by short-circuit testing reports from independent laboratories.

 

Core and Winding Quality: Utilizes high-grade cold-rolled grain-oriented (CRGO) silicon steel sheets with step-lap miter joints to reduce no-load loss and audible noise levels.

 

Routine and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT): 100% of manufactured units undergo routine testing prior to dispatch, including insulation resistance, winding resistance, voltage ratio, vector group verification, power frequency withstand voltage, applied voltage, and partial discharge measurement (< 10 pC).

Underground Distribution Transformer

 

Manufacturing and Delivery

 

1

Winding and Assembly Facilities

Dust-free, climate-controlled winding clean rooms ensure low moisture absorption during conductor processing.

2

Vacuum Drying and Oil Filling

Transformer active parts undergo Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) and long-cycle low-pressure vapor-phase drying (VPD) before vacuum oil filling under < 1 mbar pressure.

3

Production Lead Tim

12 to 16 weeks for standard substation transformers; 20 to 24 weeks for high-capacity 110kV/220kV custom units.

4

Heavy Freight Logistics

Main transformer tanks are shipped nitrogen-filled or oil-filled with impact recorders attached to log triple-axis g-force acceleration during transport. Radiators, conservator tanks, and bushings are disassembled and packaged in fumigated wooden crates.

 

FAQ

 

Q: What routine tests are performed on each power transformer before leaving the factory?

A: Every unit undergoes full routine testing according to IEC 60076-1. This includes winding resistance measurements, voltage ratio and phase displacement checks, short-circuit impedance and load loss measurement, no-load loss and current measurement, separate-source AC withstand voltage testing, induced overvoltage withstand testing, and partial discharge measurement.

Q: What tap changer brands and configurations can you integrate into the transformer?

A: We integrate both On-Load Tap Changers (OLTC) and Off-Circuit Tap Changers (NLTC). Standard OLTC options include vacuum and oil switch tap changers sourced from Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen (MR) or reputable domestic equivalents, depending on project technical specifications.

Q: How do you prevent oil leakage during long-term outdoor operation?

A: Tank covers utilize seamless CNC-machined flange sealing surfaces fitted with high-grade nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) or fluoroelastomer (FKM) O-rings. All radiator connections use machined flat flanges with recessed rubber gaskets to eliminate stress relaxation and oil weeping.

Q: Can you supply transformers filled with biodegradable synthetic ester fluid instead of mineral oil?

A: Yes. We manufacture transformers compatible with synthetic ester fluids (such as MIDEL 7131). Synthetic esters offer high fire points (> 300 degrees C) and full biodegradability, making them suitable for environmentally sensitive sites or installations close to residential zones.

Q: Do you provide 2D General Arrangement drawings and 3D CAD models for engineering design review?

A: Yes. Upon receiving project voltage and capacity specifications, our design department generates 2D General Arrangement (GA) drawings, foundation layouts, terminal connection details, and 3D STEP models within 3 to 5 working days for customer review.

Q: How is the transformer prepared and protected for international ocean shipping?

A: For large power transformers, the active part is transported inside its fully welded main steel tank under nitrogen pressure to keep the insulation dry. Triple-axis impact recorders are mounted on the tank wall to monitor shock forces during transit. Detachable accessories (bushings, conservator, radiators, and piping) are packed separately in heavy-duty fumigated wooden cases.
