Application of pad-mounted transformers

Home applications: Pad-mounted transformers can convert high-voltage grid voltage into low voltage that is suitable for home use, such as household appliances like TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, etc.

Commercial applications: Commercial areas usually have high requirements for floor space and aesthetics. Pad-mounted transformers are small in size and beautiful in appearance, and can be well integrated into the environment of commercial areas. At the same time, they provide reliable power supply to meet the power needs of commercial equipment. For example, pad-mounted transformers can convert high voltage into low voltage suitable for use by commercial equipment, such as air conditioners, computers, printers, etc.

Industrial applications: Although prefabricated substations are more widely used in industrial areas, pad-mounted transformers can also play a role in industrial areas. Especially for some industrial areas that have certain restrictions on floor space or require quick installation, pad-mounted transformers are a good choice.

Street lights and power distribution in communities and parks: Pad-mounted transformers are used for power control and distribution of street lights and related equipment. And they are also commonly used in power distribution in communities, parks and other places. It can adjust the brightness and working mode of street lights according to actual needs, improve lighting efficiency, and reduce energy consumption.

Advantages of pad-mounted transformers

1. Structure and design

Pad-mounted transformers adopt a box-type design, which can place more substation equipment and distribution equipment in a limited space and has high space utilization. It is suitable for use in small places such as cities.

Pad-mounted transformers adopt a fully sealed oil tank and fully insulated design, which is safe and reliable in operation. This design can effectively prevent foreign substances from entering the equipment and reduce the interference of various conditions on the box-type substation.

2. Function and performance

Reliable power supply: Pad-mounted transformers can be used for both ring network and terminal, and the conversion is very convenient, which improves the reliability of power supply. At the same time, it also has the characteristics of strong overload capacity, superior resistance to sudden short circuit, and good impact resistance.

Energy saving and environmental protection: Pad-mounted transformer is energy-saving and low-loss. It has excellent electrothermal characteristics, high insulation strength, good lubricity, strong arc extinguishing ability, and non-toxicity, which minimizes the harm to the environment and health.

High standardization and modularization: Pad-mounted transformers adopts standardized design and modular structure, which makes it easy to manufacture, install and maintain. At the same time, standardized design also improves product quality and work efficiency.

3. Installation and transportation

Pad-mounted transformers can be made in the factory, and their assembly and commissioning can be completed on site. The whole process is very rapid and usually takes only a few days, which helps to shorten the construction period and reduce installation costs. At the same time, its compact structure also makes transportation more convenient and reduces transportation costs.

4. Adaptability and durability

Strong adaptability: Pad-mounted transformers can be flexibly configured and combined according to user needs to meet the requirements of different power usage occasions. At the same time, At the same time, the box design fully considers the requirements of waterproof, safety and convenient operation. The protective doors of the high and low voltage rooms are mechanically interlocked to ensure the safety of operators and maintenance personnel.

Long service life: Pad-mounted transformers are made of high-quality materials and advanced technology, and have the advantages of long service life and high reliability. The shell is made of ductile iron or stainless steel and has good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, which can be used for a long time under harsh environmental conditions.

With the continuous advancement of urbanization and the continuous growth of electricity demand, pad-mounted transformers will play a more important role in urban power systems. At the same time, with the continuous development of science and technology, pad-mounted transformers will continue to upgrade and replace. It will have more advanced technology and more superior performance to meet peoples higher and more stringent requirements for electricity.
