(Model: _____SCB-13______)

1. Product Overview

Dry-type transformers utilize air-cooled or forced-air cooling technology, eliminating the need for insulating oil. They offer advantages such as fire safety, environmental friendliness, and maintenance-free operation, making them ideal for high-rise buildings, subways, hospitals, and other safety-critical applications. Compliant with GB 1094.11 and IEC 60076-11 standards, they feature low losses and high reliability.

  • Insulation Class: Class F (155°C) / Class H (180°C)
  • Cooling Method: AN/AF (Natural Air/Forced Air)
  • Protection Class: IP20 (Indoor) / IP45 (Outdoor)

2. Installation Guide for Dry-Type Transformers

2.1 Environmental Requirements

  • Indoor Installation: Ambient temperature ≤40°C, humidity ≤90% (non-condensing), with adequate ventilation.
  • Outdoor Installation: Requires a weatherproof enclosure to avoid direct sunlight and dust accumulation.
  • Safety Clearance:
    • Minimum 0.8m distance from walls, ≥1m overhead space for heat dissipation.
    • ≥1.5m spacing between multiple units.

2.2 Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Foundation Preparation: Level concrete foundation with load-bearing capacity ≥1.5x transformer weight.
  2. Positioning & Fixing: Use vibration-damping pads and secure bolts to prevent loosening.
  3. Wiring Standards:
    • Connect HV/LV terminals using copper busbars or flexible cables to avoid mechanical stress.
    • Verify phase sequence (A-B-C) matches the system.
  4. Grounding Protection: Separate grounding for tank and neutral point (resistance ≤4Ω).

3. Operation Instructions

3.1 Pre-Startup Checks

  • Insulation Test: Winding-to-ground resistance ≥100MΩ (tested with 2500V megger).
  • Cooling System: For forced-air units, verify fan rotation and operation.
  • Protection Devices: Ensure temperature controllers and overtemperature alarms function properly.

3.2 Operational Monitoring

  • Temperature Management:
    • Winding temperature ≤ insulation class limit (Class F ≤155°C, Class H ≤180°C).
    • Reduce load or shut down immediately if overtemperature alarms activate.
  • Load Recommendation: Long-term operation ≤85% rated capacity to extend lifespan.

3.3 Shutdown Procedure

  • Normal Shutdown: Gradually reduce load to <10% before power-off.
  • Emergency Shutdown: Cut power immediately and document fault symptoms.

4.2 Common Faults & Solutions

  • Issue: Fan failure → Cause: Power fault/bearing jam → Fix: Check circuit or replace fan.
  • Issue: Winding overheating → Cause: Overload/blocked vents → Fix: Reduce load or clear airflow paths.

5. Safety Warnings

  • Fire Safety: Despite dry design, keep flammable materials away.
  • Live Maintenance: Never clean or tighten live parts without de-energizing.
  • Moisture Prevention: Use built-in heaters (if equipped) during prolonged idle periods.
