What is a Dry-Type Distribution Transformers?

Dry-type transformers use epoxy resin or cast resin to encapsulate the windings, eliminating the need for liquid insulation. This design makes them inherently fire-safe, environmentally clean, and maintenance-free. The cast resin process involves vacuum impregnation of the windings with epoxy resin, creating a solid insulation system that is moisture-resistant and has excellent thermal and mechanical properties. The resin also provides partial discharge-free operation, critical for long-term reliability. Ziyao Power manufactures SCB10, SCB13, SCB14, and SCB18 dry-type transformer series. SCB18 achieves GB Class 1 energy efficiency, the highest level in China's energy efficiency standard, with ultra-low no-load losses ideal for continuous operation in commercial and industrial facilities.

Key Features

  • Epoxy resin cast winding insulation, F/H class temperature rating
  • Partial discharge <10pC for long insulation life
  • No liquid insulation: zero fire risk, zero environmental contamination
  • Indoor installation without fire suppression or oil containment
  • Maintenance-free: no oil sampling, filtering, or replacement
  • Compact design with optimized core and winding geometry
  • Forced air cooling (AF) option for overload capacity
  • Temperature monitoring with PT100 sensors
  • Noise level <65dB for quiet indoor operation

Benefits

  • Fire safety: Self-extinguishing, suitable for hospitals, schools, metros
  • No maintenance: Eliminates oil handling costs and environmental compliance
  • Compact footprint: Smaller than equivalent oil transformer with containment
  • Clean environment: No oil leaks, no contamination risk
  • Fast installation: No oil filling, filtering, or settling time
  • Long life: 25-30 years with proper ventilation

Frequently Asked Questions

Are dry-type transformers truly maintenance-free?

Yes, dry-type transformers require no routine maintenance like oil sampling or filtering. However, regular inspection of ventilation, connections, and temperature monitoring is recommended. The epoxy resin insulation does not degrade under normal operating conditions.

Can dry-type transformers be installed outdoors?

Standard dry-type transformers are designed for indoor use. For outdoor installation, they require weatherproof enclosures with proper ventilation (IP54 or higher). We recommend oil-immersed transformers for outdoor applications unless fire safety is a specific requirement.

What is the maximum capacity for dry-type transformers?

Ziyao Power manufactures dry-type transformers up to 2500kVA in standard design. Larger capacities up to 10000kVA are available for special applications. For capacities above 2500kVA, we recommend consulting our engineering team for optimal design.
