Dry transformers can be used for industrial, commercial, and even utility applications. They can easily meet small and medium voltage requirements.
Advantages of a Dry-Type Transformer
Low Fire Risk, Self-Extinguishing
A dry-type transformer is made with eco-friendly insulation. It is self-extinguishing, flame-retardant, and easy to maintain. You won’t need to buy a fire extinguisher. It doesn’t emit toxic gases, even when arcing is present.
Safe and Eco-Friendly
Dry transformers do not use liquids or oil, so you will never have any oil leaks. You won’t have to worry about oil leaks or any other type of pollution. They are also self-extinguishing, meaning that they do not explode. The dry-type transformers have been known to be able to withstand sudden weather changes. This makes them ideal for highly polluted or condensed environments.
Installations With Lower Costs and Less Load Loss
Due to their low-risk nature, dry-type transformers are installed with a minimum of restrictions. Also, you won’t need to worry about other environmental precautions like groundwater protection. These transformers are also designed to last for more than 20 years with minimal failure rates.
Low Maintenance
We cannot stress this enough. Dry-type transformers require very little maintenance. You barely need to maintain them. You won’t need to worry about dirt build-up as long as the air is circulating. You will also never need to worry about liquid testing. A routine inspection by an expert is recommended and shouldn’t be difficult.
The Sustainable Future of the Economy
When you use a dry transformer, you play a vital role in helping to conserve our planet’s resources. It has a low-electricity consumption, 90% recyclable material, and reliable service for 20 years or more.
