Transformers

Medium voltage dry-type transformers A medium voltage (MV) transformers is a static electrical device that transfers energy by inductive coupling between its winding circuits. MV transformers are essential for the transmission, distribution, and utilization of electrical energy and are also referred to as ‘Distribution transformers.’ Since distribution transformers are often located in densely populated areas or close to sensitive eco-systems, oil-filled transformers are usually avoided to prevent risk of fire and oil-spills to humans and environment. In such cases, dry-type transformers are a preferred alternative. Apart from being oil-free, all components of dry-type transformers are in solid form; they do not have flash points, nor do they require bushings. Thus, major causes of fire and oil-spillage are eliminated. Moreover, the total cost of ownership for dry type transformers is much lower due to lower cost of installation and no need of fire-suppression system.
