Current Application Status Of Dry-Type Transformers

Dry-type transformers, because they contain no oil, eliminate the risks of fire, explosion, and pollution. Therefore, electrical codes and regulations do not require them to be housed in separate rooms. This reduces losses and noise levels, creating conditions for placing the transformer and low-voltage switchboard in the same distribution room.

As a crucial piece of equipment in the power system of offshore oil platforms, the safe and reliable operation of dry-type transformers is critical to the overall operation of the power system. In the humid, salty marine environment, dry-type transformers are highly susceptible to partial discharge and localized overheating in the insulation. The application of online monitoring systems for dry-type transformers can effectively achieve online monitoring of the transformer's condition, ensuring the stable operation of the power system on offshore oil platforms.
