Core Structure and Functional Description
■ High-permeability magnetic core assembly (low-loss core)
The core of this transformer is made of high-permeability, low-loss cold-rolled grain-oriented silicon steel sheets, using a fully oblique joint, no-punching, multi-stage step lamination process to effectively reduce hysteresis and eddy current losses, and significantly reduce no-load current and no-load losses. The core is clamped and fixed by a special steel structure, ensuring stability and strong shock resistance, effectively suppressing electromagnetic vibration, reducing equipment operating noise at its source. The magnetic circuit distribution is uniform, temperature rise is stable, and there are no issues with magnetic aging or increased noise during long-term operation, resulting in excellent energy-saving performance.
■ Pure copper epoxy cast winding (safe and durable core)
Both the high-voltage and low-voltage windings are made of 100% oxygen-free pure copper . The low-voltage winding adopts a foil-type integral structure, while the high-voltage winding adopts a segmented cylindrical structure. This ensures balanced ampere-turns, uniform electric field distribution, extremely high mechanical strength, and strong short-circuit withstand capability. The entire winding is cast with imported epoxy resin under vacuum and cured at high temperature to form a dense and hard insulating whole, free of air bubbles and impurities, exhibiting excellent insulation performance.
The casting body has the characteristics of moisture-proof, dust-proof, stain-proof, flame-retardant and self-extinguishing. It is not afraid of moisture condensation and dust pollution, and eliminates the faults of inter-turn and inter-layer breakdown of windings. It is safe and stable in operation, has a long service life, and is fully suitable for long-term uninterrupted indoor operation.
■ Cooling and Temperature Control System (Core of Constant Temperature Operation)
The equipment is equipped with AN natural air cooling for normal operation, requiring no auxiliary equipment. It relies on air convection for natural heat dissipation to meet the rated load for long-term operation. Under heavy load and high temperature conditions , AF forced air cooling can be activated , with bottom axial flow fan assisting in heat dissipation, which greatly improves overload capacity and heat dissipation efficiency.
Equipped with a standard intelligent temperature controller, it monitors the three-phase winding temperature in real time and features temperature display, over-temperature warning, over-temperature trip, and automatic fan start/stop functions. It automatically starts and stops the cooling fan based on the winding temperature, and automatically alarms and cuts off power when the temperature is too high, preventing overheating and winding burnout, achieving fully automatic unattended temperature control protection.
■ Non-excitation voltage regulation and protection structure
The high-voltage side is equipped with a non-excitation tap changer with multiple voltage adjustment levels of ±2×2.5%, allowing manual adjustment of the output voltage even during power outages based on grid voltage deviations, adapting to different power supply conditions in various distribution areas. The equipment casing is made of steel plate with an IP20/IP30 protection rating, effectively preventing accidental contact with live parts and preventing foreign objects from entering the equipment, ensuring high safety, a neat design, and aesthetically pleasing installation.
■ Safety and Environmental Protection Characteristics
This equipment contains no transformer oil, poses no risk of leakage, and operates without smoke, toxic substances, or pollution. It does not produce harmful gases upon combustion, is flame-retardant and self-extinguishing, and will not explode, ensuring extremely high fire safety. The equipment is resistant to moisture and contamination, and can operate stably for extended periods in high-humidity, dusty indoor environments without the need for regular oil changes or filtration, truly achieving maintenance-free operation.
