Dry-Type Transformer Model Number Guide & Selection Handbook 

1. Dry-Type Transformer Model Number Decoding

Example Model: SCB13-1000/10

  • SC: Three-phase epoxy resin cast dry-type transformer
  • B: Foil winding (“R” indicates wire-wound)
  • 13: Performance level code (higher number = better efficiency)
  • 1000: Rated capacity 1000kVA
  • 10: High voltage side 10kV

Common Prefix Meanings:

CodeTypeKey Features
SCEpoxy resin castFireproof/water-resistant, 20+ year lifespan
SGNon-encapsulatedBetter heat dissipation for high capacity
SCRRolled core30% lower no-load loss

2. Performance Comparison of Mainstream Models

ModelNo-Load Loss(W)Load Loss(W)Noise(dB)Applications
SCB10-500950485055Commercial buildings
SCB12-800780760052Data centers
SCB14-12506501150050Solar power plants
SGB11-160012001450058Heavy industry

3. Recommended Models by Application

Data Centers

  • Preferred: SCB12/SCB14 series
  • Advantages: Low loss (Tier1 efficiency), K-13 harmonic resistance
  • Case study: Tencent Tianjin Data Center uses 6× SCB14-2500 units

Hospitals/Schools

  • Requirement: SCB13-Class H (fire safety certified)
  • Special: IP54 protection + ultra-quiet (<55dB)

Solar/Wind Power

  • Dedicated model: SCR12-35/0.8
  • Features: 35kV input + reverse power protection

4. Model Upgrade Solutions

Legacy Model Replacement

  • SCB9 → SCB12 (saves ~18% annual electricity cost)
  • SGB10 → SGB11 (5dB noise reduction)

Capacity Expansion
For SCB10-800 with 20% load growth:

  • Option 1: Upgrade to SCB12-1000
  • Option 2: Parallel connect SCB10-200 (more economical)

5. Procurement Guidelines

⚠ Fake Product Identification:

  • Genuine products: Laser anti-counterfeit code + verifiable on official website
  • Low-price traps: Aluminum windings disguised as copper (request material certification)

✅ Warranty Essentials:

  • Core components ≥10-year warranty (written confirmation required)
  • Free technical support within 200km radius

6. 2024 New Model Preview

SCB15 Series:

  • 15% lower no-load loss (expected Q4 2024 launch)

Smart SCB-i Series:

  • Built-in IoT module supports mobile APP monitoring
