Pad mounted vs ordinary oil-filled transformers

Pad Mounted Transformer

---

Pad mounted transformers provide users with many benefits, saving a lot of energy for owners and bringing environmental benefits. Higher efficiency not only extends the lifespan of pad mounted transformers, but also saves costs for owners in the form of lower energy bills and reduced ownership costs.

advantages of pad mounted transformers compared to ordinary oil-filled transformers

---

• Safe and reliable: The pad mounted transformer adopts efficient insulation protection and heat dissipation equipment, and the structure of the cable cabinet is reasonable, which can effectively ensure the safety and reliability of power equipment. It has strong overload capacity and does not affect the service life of the pad mounted transformer.
• Adopting elbow type plug: It is very convenient to connect high-voltage incoming cables and can be plugged and unplugged with electricity.
• Strong defense capability: Pad mounted transformers have strong defense capabilities and can effectively resist transient voltage peaks in power equipment, protecting the equipment from damage. Adopting dual fuse protection.
• Longevity: Made of high-quality materials and high-tech production processes, it is durable and has a higher service life. Its overall service life is higher than that of ordinary oil immersed transformers.
• Pad mounted transformers are divided into terminal type and ring network type (one transformer can supply power to another transformer at the same time), and the conversion is very convenient, which improves the power supply distance and reliability.
• Energy conservation and environmental protection: In the design and use of pad mounted transformers, emphasis is placed on energy conservation and environmental protection (FR3 environmentally friendly vegetable oil is now commonly used), which can ensure not only high energy efficiency, but also reduce energy waste and environmental pollution.

The appearance size and weight of power transformers with the same voltage and capacity are larger than those of ordinary oil immersed transformers, and the cost is naturally higher than that of ordinary oil immersed transformers.

Application of pad mounted transformers

---

Pad mounted transformers have a wide range of applications due to their high stability and reliability. The pad mounted transformer industry mainly involves transmission, distribution, industry, transportation, aerospace, communication and other fields. General purpose, industrial sites, electrical distribution rooms, basement power distribution, manufacturing facilities, steel plants, offshore oil platforms, commercial, military, processing plants, public utilities, public places, etc.

Pad mounted transformers are mainly applied in North America, South America, Oceania, East Asia, Southeast Asia and other regions, including China, the United States, Canada, Japan, Honduras, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Chile, the Philippines, Australia and other countries and regions.
