Transformer construction

Dry-type and oil-immersed transformers

Cast-resin dry-type equipment uses air cooling, while oil-immersed equipment places the active part in an oil-filled tank. Compare their installation and service interfaces before specifying a unit.

Cast-resin dry-type transformers

For indoor distribution rooms where ventilation and service access can be planned around the transformer.

Construction
A magnetic core and resin-cast windings form a dry-type assembly cooled by air. Enclosure, fan assistance and temperature monitoring depend on the selected model.
Site context
Indoor commercial and industrial distribution rooms, including transport facilities. Allow for the room environment and access.

Oil-immersed transformers

For substation, utility or industrial distribution duties where the tank and network connections fit the site layout.

Construction
The core and windings sit in an oil-filled steel tank. Bushings provide network connections; cooling and tap arrangements depend on the selected model.
Site context
Substations, utility networks and industrial supply. Review foundation, clearances, oil handling and maintenance access for the planned installation.

Specification process

Specify a transformer for your project

Start with the electrical duty and site requirements, then compare construction, drawings and required documents.

From project brief to proposed unit

  1. 01

    Set the electrical duty

    Provide the voltage ratio, capacity basis and network connection. Existing equipment details help with replacement projects.

  2. 02

    Choose construction

    Compare dry-type and oil-immersed arrangements against site conditions, access, ventilation and protection.

  3. 03

    Check installation drawings

    Review outline and connection drawings for installation space, cable or busbar entry and maintenance clearances.

  4. 04

    Identify required documents

    List the data sheet, applicable test records and compliance documents needed for procurement.

A complete brief makes the proposed unit easier to assess against the project.

Construction comparison

Compare dry-type and oil-immersed transformers

Construction affects heat management, connection layout and the space needed on site.

Review pointDry-type transformerOil-immersed transformer
Insulation systemCast-resin windings provide dry insulation; assess enclosure and site conditions.The active part sits in insulating oil inside a tank; specify the oil and tank arrangement for the project.
Heat rejectionPlan an air path and room or enclosure ventilation; confirm whether fans are part of the duty.Allow for heat rejection from the tank or radiators; confirm the cooling class and clearance.
Site provisionCheck enclosure, clearances and service access for the selected location.Check tank footprint, foundation, service access and applicable oil-management rules.
Connection layoutMatch HV/LV terminals to cable or busbar entry and earthing.Match bushings and terminations to the cable route, clearances and earthing.
MonitoringSpecify winding temperature sensing, alarms and fan control when required.Specify oil temperature or level indication and protection accessories when required.

Quotation information

Information for a transformer quotation

Share the electrical duty and installation conditions together. Include values already set by the project and identify any open requirements.

Useful project files

A single-line diagram, load schedule, existing nameplate or site plan can clarify the request. Include only what is available.

Application context

Transformer applications

See how installation interfaces differ in building rooms, substations and renewable generation.

Building distribution room

Commercial, transport and industrial buildings place the transformer inside a wider distribution arrangement.

Design considerations

Coordinate equipment access, heat rejection and the connection to adjacent switchgear or busbar before fixing the exact unit.

Utility or industrial substation

The transformer works with station switching, protection and civil works rather than as an isolated item.

Design considerations

Place it within the station scheme; allocate foundation, cable and oil-management responsibilities when oil-filled equipment is proposed.

PV or wind collection

Generation projects place transformer duty between generation equipment and a collection or grid circuit.

Design considerations

Decide whether the scope is a standalone transformer or a complete step-up station, then review the operating profile and protection boundary.

Specification questions

Questions before specifying a transformer

Answers to common questions about selection, replacement, scope and documents.

How is the transformer model selected?

Start with the voltage ratio, capacity basis, installation setting and construction preference. Then compare the proposed unit with the electrical schedule, site interfaces and required documents.

Can an existing transformer be replaced by matching voltage and kVA alone?

No. Use the existing nameplate and single-line diagram to check electrical requirements, including vector group, impedance and tap arrangement. Compare load duty, footprint and terminal layout, and request model-specific drawings before treating the replacement as compatible.

What should be checked before parallel operation?

Check voltage ratio, vector group, impedance, and tap range and settings against the network scheme and existing units. Matching capacity by itself does not establish compatibility.

Is the enquiry for a standalone transformer or a complete step-up station?

Define the supply boundary in the project brief. If a complete station is required, identify switching, protection, civil and connection interfaces as well as the transformer duty; confirm the proposed package for that project.

Which documents should accompany a proposed model?

State the required data sheet, outline and connection drawings, applicable test records and compliance documents in the enquiry. Confirm availability and applicability for the exact model before using them for procurement.
