Common Types of Solar Transformers

Dry Type Transformers

Dry type transformers are ideal for solar applications where fire safety is a priority.
Instead of oil, they use air or solid insulation materials for cooling.

Three Phase Dry Type Transformer

Three Phase Dry Type Transformer

Key Specifications:

  • Power rating: 50kVA – 2500kVA
  • Voltage class: 10kV, 20kV, 35kV
  • Insulation class: F or H
  • Protection degree: IP20, IP23, IP54

ZTELEC YUGUANG’s dry type transformers offer excellent resistance to humidity and dust, making them
suitable for both indoor and outdoor solar installations.

Oil-Immersed Transformers

Oil-immersed transformers use mineral oil or synthetic fluid for insulation and cooling, providing
high efficiency and durability in outdoor environments.

1000kva KNAN Oil Immersed Power Distribution Transformer

Key Specifications:

  • Power rating: 100kVA – 30,000kVA
  • Voltage class: 10kV, 35kV, 110kV
  • Oil type: Mineral oil or biodegradable oil
  • Cooling method: ONAN, ONAF, OFAF

ZTELEC YUGUANG’s oil-immersed transformers are designed for reliable performance in harsh weather
conditions, making them perfect for utility-scale solar farms.

Pad-Mounted Transformers

Pad-mounted transformers are enclosed in a weatherproof cabinet, designed for safe installation
on the ground without additional housing.

Key Specifications:

  • Power rating: 50kVA – 3000kVA
  • Voltage class: 10kV/0.4kV, 20kV/0.4kV
  • Enclosure: NEMA 3R, NEMA 4X
  • Protection: Overload, short circuit, lightning

ZTELEC YUGUANG’s pad-mounted transformers feature compact design and easy maintenance,
ideal for commercial and industrial solar applications.
