Issues related to transformer tanks in the United States

March 22, 2023

The capacity levels of transformers in the United States are different from those in China, where there are 6 capacity levels available from 250 to 800 kVA (25031540500630800). American products have only three capacity levels (300500750) from 250 to 800kVA. This poses difficulties in selecting capacity for design. For example, if 630kVA capacity can be met, it is necessary to design 750kVA capacity, which not only increases equipment investment but also increases user capacity increase fees by 20%; American Box transformer manufacturers have not set up maintenance centers in China, making it difficult to handle equipment accidents in a short time.

Box type substation boxes in the United States are divided into two types: with an operation corridor (staff operating inside the box) and without an operation corridor (staff operating outside the box). The box type substation can be an integral box shell or a split box shell composed of two, three, or more boxes. The box shall have sufficient mechanical strength and shall not deform during transportation and installation. Strive for beautiful appearance, color harmony with the environment. The high and low voltage rooms of the box shell should be equipped with lighting lamps, with dust and condensation prevention measures. The humidity in the high and low voltage rooms should not exceed 90% (25 ℃), and the transformer room should be well ventilated. The box shell shall be equipped with measures or devices to prevent sunlight, rain, rust, and small animals from entering.
