Dry-type power transformers are transformers that are cooled by air or other gases instead of insulating oil. Compared with traditional oil-immersed transformers, they have significant advantages such as no oil pollution, easy maintenance, small size, and light weight, so they are widely used in many fields. Knowing their uses is of great significance for the proper selection and use of dry-type power transformers.
1. Application in power system
Power distribution field
In urban distribution network, dry-type power transformers are key electrical equipment. Due to its oil-free characteristics, it eliminates safety hazards such as fire and explosion caused by oil filling. This makes it particularly suitable for places with extremely high safety standards, such as distribution rooms in high-rise buildings and underground substations. These places are relatively cramped, and once a fire occurs, the consequences will be disastrous. Dry-type power transformers can meet safety needs and provide stable and reliable power supply for various electrical equipment in buildings, effectively ensuring the normal life and work of residents and office workers.
Power generation field
Dry-type transformers also play a key role in some small power stations or distributed power systems. Taking wind farms as an example, the electricity generated by wind turbines needs to be boosted by transformers in order to transmit the electricity to the power grid. Dry-type transformers can adapt to the harsh natural environment of wind farms, such as high humidity, strong winds and sand. And their convenient maintenance also reduces the operating costs of power stations.
2. Application in the field of new energy
Solar power generation
In solar photovoltaic power generation systems, dry-type transformers are used to convert the direct current generated by solar panels into alternating current and perform voltage boosting to transmit the electricity to the power grid. Its efficient and reliable performance helps to improve the overall power generation efficiency of solar power generation systems.
Electric vehicle charging facilities
With the gradual popularization of electric vehicles, the construction of charging facilities has become increasingly important. Dry-type transformers can provide a stable power supply for electric vehicle charging piles to ensure a safe and efficient charging process.
3. Application in the industrial field
Manufacturing
In the manufacturing industry, many production equipment have high requirements for the stability and quality of power supply. Dry-type power transformers can accurately adjust the voltage for these equipment to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. For example, in electronic chip manufacturing factories, equipment such as lithography machines and etching machines in the production process are extremely sensitive to voltage fluctuations. The high-precision voltage regulation function of dry-type transformers can meet the stringent requirements of these equipment and improve the production quality and yield rate of products.
Chemical Industry
The chemical industry contains a large number of flammable and explosive substances, and has extremely high safety requirements for electrical equipment. Dry-type transformers are oil-free, so there is no risk of explosion caused by oil filling. This makes it an ideal choice for chemical companies. It can provide power support for various pumps, compressors, reactors and other equipment in chemical production, ensuring safe and stable chemical production.
4. Application in commercial buildings
Large shopping malls
Large shopping malls have a wide range of lighting, air conditioning, elevators and other equipment, and the power load is large. Dry-type power transformers can provide a reliable power supply for shopping malls. And because of its small size and flexible installation, it can adapt to the limited space layout of shopping malls. At the same time, the low noise characteristics of dry-type transformers also help to create a comfortable shopping environment for shopping malls.
Hotels
Hotels need to provide stable power for guest rooms, restaurants, conference rooms and other areas. Dry-type transformers can meet the power needs of different areas of the hotel. And its easy maintenance can reduce the duration of power outages caused by equipment failures and improve the hotels service quality and customer satisfaction.
