This 400kVA dry type distribution transformer integrates a fully enclosed IP54-rated cabinet, offering dependable dustproof and moisture-proof power distribution for manufacturing plants, production workshops, and industrial facilities. Designed with a 20kV primary voltage and a 0.38kV secondary, the unit delivers clean, stable low-voltage power without the use of insulating oil. Its cast resin windings and sealed enclosure make it an excellent fit for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations where airborne particles, humidity, or water splashes are constant operational factors.
| Rated Power & Voltage | 400kVA three-phase, 50/60Hz. High voltage 20kV, low voltage 0.38kV (standard tapping links for voltage adjustment available) |
| Enclosure Protection | IP54 according to IEC 60529. Complete dust protection and protection against splashing water. Cabinet constructed from heavy-gauge sheet steel with anti-corrosion powder coating |
| Core Technology | Cold-rolled grain-oriented silicon steel laminations, step-lap corner joints, surface insulation coating. Designed for low no-load loss and reduced magnetostrictive noise |
| Winding & Insulation | High-voltage winding with segmented layer construction, low-voltage winding as foil or wire. Vacuum cast under epoxy resin, forming a solid, bubble-free insulation body rated Class F (155°C) or Class H (180°C) temperature rise |
| Cooling Method | Natural air cooling (AN) as standard. Galvanized steel ventilation louvers with replaceable filter mats maintain IP54 integrity. Forced air cooling (AF) option with thermostatically controlled fans |
| Temperature Monitoring | Embedded PT100 resistance temperature detectors in each phase coil, wired to a digital temperature controller with local display, high-temperature alarm, and trip contacts |
| Compliance | Designed and tested in accordance with IEC 60076 series, ISO 9001 quality management, and relevant regional grid codes |
New and Upgraded Manufacturing Plants: Process dust, lubricant mist, and frequent wash-downs expose electrical equipment to early failure. The solution is the IP54 dry type distribution transformer. All live parts are sealed within the cast resin insulation, and the dustproof cabinet prevents fiber buildup and condensation.
Industrial Workshops and Heavy Assembly Lines: Large air quantities moved by overhead cranes stir up fine metallic dust. The design incorporates high-efficiency inlet filters on the IP54 enclosure that trap metallic particles before they reach the windings.
Large Data Centers and IT Facilities: Power reliability, fire safety, and low audible noise are critical. The dry type cast coil transformer eliminates the fire risk of liquid-filled units and meets strict FM Global or local fire codes.
Retrofit and Capacity Expansion Projects: Replacing older oil transformers with this 400kVA dry type unit solves multiple concerns at once. The compact footprint, pre-fitted power terminations, and sealed IP54 construction allow installation in previously unsuitable locations.
It is rated IP54 for indoor and sheltered outdoor locations. The dustproof and moisture-proof enclosure repels splashing water and high humidity, but it is not designed for direct heavy rain or continuous water immersion. For outdoor sites without a canopy, a custom rain hood or higher IP65 cabinet can be provided.
Ventilation within the enclosure follows a carefully calculated cooling path. Filter-protected intake openings at the bottom and hot-air outlets at the top create natural convection without allowing dust inside. The cooling is sufficient for the rated 400kVA under AN (natural air) conditions.
Yes. As a dry type transformer using epoxy resin cast coils, the insulation is self-extinguishing and emits no toxic fumes that would otherwise trigger gas-based fire suppression systems in a data center. It does not contain mineral oil, so the risk of a pool fire or explosion is eliminated.
Maintenance is minimal compared to liquid-filled units. Operators should visually inspect the IP54 cabinet gaskets and ventilation filters every 6 to 12 months, and clean or replace the filter mats depending on dust load in the environment.
Absolutely. These dry type distribution transformers are built to order. High-voltage taps give ±2*2.5% or other standard adjustments; a different low voltage such as 0.4/0.23kV or 0.48kV is common.
Standard factory-assembled units are shipped fully tested with an N2-sealed internal atmosphere. Delivery includes comprehensive dimensional drawings, lifting instructions, and maintenance manuals, enabling straightforward integration into the plant electrical room.
