Product Features

1. Fully Sealed Structure — Zero Maintenance

Because the transformer tank is fully welded and hermetically sealed (M-type design), the corrugated radiator wall expands and contracts with oil temperature changes, eliminating the need for a conservator tank on smaller units. Therefore, the sealed design isolates the insulation from oxygen and moisture.

Design Life: 20+ Years

Moreover, cellulose insulation thermal aging follows the 6°C rule per GB/T 1094.7-2024 (equivalent to IEC 60076-7) loading guide — design life of 20+ years, with no oil leakage, no moisture ingress, no scheduled maintenance.

2. Baosteel Hi-B Grain-Oriented Silicon Steel Core

Specifically, the core uses Baosteel high-permeability grain-oriented silicon steel (Hi-B type), thickness 0.27–0.30mm; S22 high-efficiency models use 0.23mm thin-gauge steel. Step-lap 45° joint construction reduces excitation current and core loss at the joints by 15-20% compared to conventional overlap joints.

Core Annealing & Winding Technology

Additionally, after stacking, the core undergoes annealing treatment to relieve internal stress from shearing and stacking, restoring magnetic path performance. Windings use parallel conductor transposition to reduce circulating current losses.

For reference, GB/T 6451-2023 reference no-load loss values for 1000 kVA: S11 1.150kW, S13 0.830kW, S20 0.745kW, S22 0.665kW. As a result, actual product values meet or beat the corresponding grade requirements.

3. Oxygen-Free Copper Windings with Dyn11 Connection

However, LV windings below 315 kVA use oxygen-free copper layer/cylinder construction. For 400 kVA and above, LV windings use copper foil construction for better short-circuit withstand and lower eddy current loss. Moreover, HV windings use multi-layer cylinder construction. The Dyn11 connection group suppresses triple harmonics, improves output voltage symmetry, and allows the neutral line to carry unbalanced load — therefore critical for power distribution transformer applications.

4. Low Noise Operation — 5-8 dB Below GB Standard Limits

Furthermore, core clamping uses steel tension bands instead of traditional bolted frames, reducing vibration transmission. Combined with the patented noise reduction device (spring-damper system + vacuum-sealed acoustic panels + sound-absorbing cotton), noise levels are 5-8 dB below GB standard sound power level limits. For example, comparison data:

Capacity Range (kVA)GB Standard Limit (dB)Typical Value (dB)Reduction
30–63≤44≤386 dB
80–100≤48≤417 dB
125–160≤49≤427 dB
200–250≤51≤447 dB
315–400≤53≤467 dB
500–630≤54≤477 dB
800–1000≤57≤498 dB
1250–1600≤59≤527 dB

GB standard limits from GB/T 6451-2023 sound power level requirements. For reference, a 1000 kVA unit at ≤49 dB is comparable to normal conversation — suitable for residential installation.

5. Strong Short-Circuit Withstand Capability

In addition, the 35kV class transformers feature a rigid frame structure with upper beam and side beam tensioning, enhancing iron core clamping force. Because this design has been validated through short-circuit withstand testing per GB 1094.5, it demonstrates strong resistance to through-fault currents without winding deformation.

Patented Technologies

However, these products involve 4 dedicated patents specifically for oil immersed transformer design and manufacturing — each solving a real-world problem that generic manufacturers ignore. To clarify, here is what these patents mean for your project:

PatentTypeProblem SolvedYour Benefit
Transformer Noise Reduction DeviceUtility ModelTraditional transformers transmit vibration to the tank, causing secondary noisePatented spring-damper system absorbs vibration at the source. Noise drops 5-8 dB below GB standard limits. Quiet enough for residential installation.
Energy-Saving Automatic Oil Filling DeviceInvention PatentManual oil filling leaves gap between filling and sealing, allowing dust contaminationAutomated system fills and seals in one continuous operation. Zero dust ingress. Consistently high dielectric strength, extending insulation life by 3-5 years.
Adjustable Installation Position TransformerUtility ModelStandard transformers have fixed brackets that only fit one orientation360° rotating base with adjustable brackets adapts to any site geometry. Cuts installation time by 40-60%.
Quick-Install Explosion-Proof TransformerUtility ModelPole-mounted transformers need 8-12 bolts, 2 workers, 30+ minutesSpring-loaded locking hooks replace all bolts. One person installs in under 10 minutes. Reduces labor cost by 75%.

Therefore, all patents are applied in production. The noise reduction device is built into every S20/S22 series tank. Moreover, the automatic oil filling system is used on 100% of the production line. The adjustable base and quick-install system are available as options for pole-mounted and explosion-proof configurations.

Application Scenarios for Oil Immersed Transformers

Scenario 1: Urban Residential Distribution Network

For example, a residential community of 500 households requires an 800 kVA distribution transformer stepping down 10kV to 0.4kV. The S20-M-800 delivers no-load loss of just 0.63 kW — compared to 0.98 kW for an S11 unit. At typical residential load patterns (average 35% utilization), this saves 3,066 kWh/year. Over a 20-year service life, that is 61,320 kWh in energy savings — equivalent to 61 tons of CO₂ reduction.

Scenario 2: Industrial Mining Enterprise Substation

Additionally, a mining operation needs a 35kV class power transformer reducing voltage from 35kV to 0.4kV for heavy equipment. Because the S11-1000/35 model (no-load loss 1.15 kW, load loss 11.5 kW, impedance 6.5%) handles the harsh environment with -25°C to +40°C operating range and robust short-circuit withstand, it is ideal for industrial use.

Scenario 3: Pole-Mounted Rural Electrification

However, for rural electrification projects requiring pole mounted transformers in the 15-167 kVA range, compact oil immersed transformers with sealed tank design are ideal. Specifically, the 100 kVA transformer model (S20-M-100) is lightweight enough for standard utility pole mounting, with no-load loss as low as 0.135 kW. Therefore, maintenance-free operation eliminates scheduled oil sampling in remote locations.

Scenario 4: Renewable Energy Grid Connection

Furthermore, solar farms and wind power plants require grid-connection transformers to connect to the 35kV distribution grid. The 35kV class oil immersed transformers with Dyn11 connection accommodate voltage fluctuations typical of intermittent renewable generation. Especially, the amorphous alloy transformer option (SH15 series) is perfectly suited for solar applications — ultra-low no-load loss of 0.06 kW at 100 kVA means minimal energy waste during idle periods.

Energy Efficiency Comparison: S11 vs S13 vs S20 vs S22 vs SH15

Therefore, choosing the right efficiency level depends on your load profile. Here is a decision framework based on GB 20052-2024 energy efficiency grades:

SeriesGB 20052-2024 Grade100 kVA No-Load Loss (kW)100 kVA Load Loss (kW)Best For
S11 (old standard)Below Level 3 (phased out)0.2001.580Legacy units only — no longer legal for new procurement
S13Level 3 (minimum)0.1501.580Budget projects, high load factor
S20Level 20.1351.250Best balance of cost and efficiency
S22Level 10.1101.100Maximum efficiency, premium projects
SH15 (Amorphous)Level 10.0601.270Light load, long idle hours

Selection guide: If your transformer runs at above 60% average load, choose S22. However, if it runs at below 30% average load (typical for residential), choose SH15 amorphous core transformer. For everything in between, S20 is the optimal choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between S11, S13, S20, and S22?

However, these series numbers represent efficiency levels defined by GB 20052-2024. S11 is the old standard (no longer legal for new procurement). S13 meets Level 3 (minimum, effective Feb 2025). S20 meets Level 2 with 10-20% lower loss than S13. S22 meets Level 1 (highest) with 20-28% lower total loss than S13. Therefore, the higher the number, the lower the losses, and the more energy saved over the 20+ year service life.

What does “oil immersed” mean?

An oil immersed transformer uses mineral insulating oil as both the insulating medium and cooling fluid. Specifically, the core and windings are submerged in oil inside a sealed steel tank. Heat transfers to the oil, which circulates through radiator fins for natural air cooling (ONAN). In comparison, this design offers superior insulation, efficient heat dissipation, and longer service life compared to dry type transformers.

How do I calculate the right kVA?

For three-phase: kVA = (Volts × Amps × 1.732) / 1000. For example, a 480V motor drawing 300A needs 250 kVA minimum. Additionally, add 20-30% margin for expansion. Engineering support available for transformer sizing — send load details.

Do you provide type test reports?

Yes. Third-party type test reports are available for each series (S11, S13, S20, S22, SH15). Moreover, routine test reports included with every shipment.

What is the lead time?

Standard models (30-2500 kVA, 10kV): 15-25 working days. However, 35kV class and custom: 25-40 working days.

Can you supply amorphous core transformers?

Yes. SH15 amorphous alloy transformers with no-load loss as low as 0.06 kW at 100 kVA — 70% lower than S11. As a result, ideal for residential distribution and solar grid connection.

What is the warranty period?

Standard warranty is 12 months from date of shipment. Moreover, fully sealed structure designed for 20+ years service life — maintenance-free, no oil change required.

Can you customize voltage ratios and impedance?

Yes. In addition, custom options include voltage ratios (11kV/380V, 13.8kV/480V, 35kV/0.69kV), impedance values (4.0%–8.0%), connection groups (Dyn11 standard, Yyn0 optional), and cooling method (ONAN standard, ODAF optional).
