Learn about dry transformers – Advantages and disadvantages

Introduction to dry transformer

What is a dry transformer?

Dry-type transformer  (English is dry-type transformer) is a series of machines that change voltage and current, monolithic molded structure, naturally cooled by air.

The working principle of a dry transformer is based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction to convert the alternating current system at one voltage to another.

Common types of dry transformers

Dry transformers have magnetic circuit construction and the windings are not immersed in insulating liquid. Currently, there are 4 most common types of dry transformers:

1. Cast Coil resin transformer (CRT): The transformer windings are covered with epoxy resin and vacuumed. The machine structure meets the requirements for use in high humidity environments.
2. Vacuum pressure impregnation transformer (VPI): The coil is tied in a vacuum protective box and uses polyester resin for winding insulation.
3. Vacuum Pressure Encapsulated (VPE) Transformer: High-grade dry transformer with coils placed in a vacuum box and using VPE silicon as winding insulation.
4. Open Loud Transformer: The dry transformer is manufactured by heating the coil and dipping it into a high temperature varnish.

Top brands of dry transformers on the market

– Group of dry transformers from foreign brands:  Schneider dry transformers, ABB dry transformers, KP dry transformers, and THIBIDI dry transformers in cooperation with General Electric Company (GE) of the US.

– Group of dry transformers from Vietnamese brands:  Thu Duc Electromechanical Joint Stock Company – EMC is currently a pioneer in investing in dry transformer production lines with the ability to meet 3,000 machines/year.

With the advantage of production capacity, the EMC dry transformer product line has TSKT in line with current electricity standards, while also meeting the schedule earlier, at a more competitive price and with after-sales service. forever better.

Comparison of dry and oil transformers

1. Distinguish between dry and oil transformers.

The biggest feature that distinguishes dry transformers from oil transformers is the cooling method:

• Mineral oil cooled oil transformer (insulating oil).
• Natural air-cooled dry transformer.

2. Compare dry and oil transformer prices

Investment cost is the leading factor deciding whether to choose a dry transformer or an oil transformer for a project or project. In practice, the production cost of dry transformers is usually higher than that of oil transformers. However, in terms of maintenance costs, dry transformers are more economical because they do not have to monitor oil levels, change oil, and handle oil leakage.

Advantages of dry transformer EMC

Dry transformers were born to limit many of the existing disadvantages of oil transformers. In particular, the higher allowable temperature of dry transformers provides fire and explosion prevention, improving safety for people and equipment when operating.

• High safety: EMC fireproof dry transformer meets the requirements of use for key projects, requiring fire safety.
• High mechanical and electrical strength: Epoxy resin molded coil design in vacuum can withstand short circuit force and abnormal vibrations.
• Perfect capacity: EMC’s cast-type 3-phase dry-type transformer has good overload capacity, high efficiency and low operating noise.
• More convenient: The dry type transformer has many advantages in transportation, simple installation, and less space.
• Environmental protection: Dry transformers do not generate emissions, waste oil, reduce the risk of fire and explosion and are more environmentally friendly.
• Good price dry transformer: Besides the investment in improving product quality, EMC also has a competitive price policy, bringing more cost-effective transformer products to customers.

Construction of dry transformer EMC

1. DRY TRANSFORMER COILING TYPE EMC

The copper-based dry transformer uses copper foil to process the low and high windings. Similarly, all low and high windings of an EMC aluminum-wired dry-winding transformer are manufactured from aluminum foil. Coil molded with epoxy resin in a vacuum environment, has a very high bearing capacity when short-circuiting. The coil jacking structure is firm, limiting the influence of external forces.

2. ERROR FROM DRY TRANSFORMER EMC

EMC imports quality corrugated iron cores from advanced countries, ensuring standard input materials. At the same time, the head from the modern production line is suitable for processing electrical engineering steel sheets to form high-quality cold-rolled silicon corrugated iron core, creating a closed loop circuit, reducing loss and reducing noise when the transformer is in operation.

3. EMC DRY TYPE 3-Phase TRANSFER ACCESSORIES.

• Dry transformer cooling fan: Creates air circulation to reduce winding temperature, ensuring safe, efficient and durable transformer operation.
• Temperature controller: Has the function of displaying winding operating temperature, overheating warning, fan speed adjustment, meeting the requirements of safe and durable operation of dry transformer.
• Other accessories: EMC can meet the installation of rollers, dry transformer cabinet and other accessories according to customer requirements.
