Why Choose a Cast Resin Dry Type Transformer?

Unlike an oil-immersed transformer, a cast resin dry type transformer does not use transformer oil as the primary insulation and cooling medium.

This provides several practical advantages for indoor and safety-sensitive installations.

Oil-Free and Reduced Fire Risk

The absence of insulating oil eliminates oil leakage and significantly reduces the fire and environmental risks associated with liquid-filled transformers.

This makes dry transformers suitable for installations inside buildings and close to electrical loads.

Lower Maintenance Requirements

Dry type transformers do not require routine oil sampling, oil filtration or oil level inspection.

Routine maintenance mainly focuses on transformer cleanliness, electrical connections, ventilation, temperature monitoring and cooling fans when fitted.

Flexible Indoor Installation

Their compact construction allows dry transformers to be installed in:

● Electrical rooms
● Basements
● Commercial buildings
● Factories
● Data centers
● Transportation facilities
● Other locations close to the load center

Reliable Solid Insulation

Epoxy resin vacuum casting forms a mechanically strong solid insulation structure around the winding.

This helps improve dielectric performance and winding resistance to moisture, dust and short-circuit mechanical stresses.

Natural or Forced-Air Cooling

HUARUI dry transformers can use AN natural air cooling for normal operating conditions or AF forced-air cooling when additional cooling and temporary loading capability are required.

 

Typical Dry Type Transformer Applications

Dry type transformers are widely selected where indoor safety, reliability and reduced maintenance are priorities.

Industrial Plants

Used to step medium voltage down to plant distribution voltage for manufacturing equipment, motors, production lines and auxiliary electrical systems.

Typical industries include:

● Steel and metallurgy
● Machinery manufacturing

Dry transformers can be located closer to building load centers without the oil containment requirements associated with oil-filled transformers.

Common applications include:

● Shopping malls
● Office buildings
● Hotels
● Residential complexes
● High-rise buildings

Data Centers

Data center power systems require reliable distribution, efficient operation and strict control of fire risks.

Cast resin dry type transformers are therefore commonly used between medium-voltage incoming supplies and downstream low-voltage distribution equipment.

Hospitals and Public Facilities

Oil-free construction makes dry transformers suitable for hospitals, schools, government facilities and other buildings where fire safety and indoor installation requirements are important.

Rail Transit and Transportation

Dry type transformers can be used in:

● Metro stations

● Auxiliary distribution systems

Renewable Energy Projects

Dry transformers can also support photovoltaic, wind power, energy storage and related renewable energy distribution systems, particularly where transformers are installed inside electrical buildings or prefabricated substations.

 

How to Select a Dry Type Transformer

Transformer selection should begin with the electrical system rather than simply choosing a kVA rating.

The following information should normally be confirmed before quotation.

1. Rated Capacity

Determine the required transformer capacity according to actual connected load, demand factor, expected load growth and operating reserve.

Common dry type transformer ratings include:

250 kVA
400 kVA
500 kVA
630 kVA
800 kVA
1000 kVA
1250 kVA
1600 kVA
2000 kVA
2500 kVA

Other capacities can be evaluated according to project requirements.

2. Primary and Secondary Voltage

Typical configurations include:

10 / 0.4 kV
35 / 0.4 kV

Other voltage ratios can be designed according to the power system.

3. SCB10 or SCB13

SCB10 is suitable for general distribution projects where reliable operation and cost are the main considerations.

SCB13 is recommended when reduced transformer losses and long-term energy efficiency are more important.

4. Copper or Aluminum Winding

HUARUI can provide copper- or aluminum-wound transformer configurations.

Copper windings generally provide high conductivity and compact winding design, while aluminum can provide a more economical solution for suitable applications.

The final choice should consider transformer rating, project specifications, dimensions, budget and customer standards.

5. AN or AF Cooling

AN – Air Natural
Uses natural air circulation and requires no continuously operating cooling fan.

AF – Air Forced
Uses fans to increase airflow around the windings and improve heat dissipation.

Cooling configuration should be selected according to transformer rating, loading conditions and installation ventilation.

6. Installation Environment

Before ordering, consider:

● Indoor or outdoor installation
● Ambient temperature
● Altitude
● Humidity
● Dust level
● Ventilation conditions
● Available installation space
● Required enclosure protection

Special environmental conditions should be provided to the manufacturer during the transformer design stage.
