Common Questions About High-Capacity Substation Transformers

Q1: What is the difference between oil-filled and dry-type transformers?

• Oil-filled transformers are more efficient, especially in large industrial or utility applications, offering higher cooling capacity. Dry-type transformers, on the other hand, are safer for indoor installations with lower environmental risks.

Q2: Can I customize the voltage and capacity of my transformer?

• Yes! Yawei offers fully customizable transformers, allowing you to select both the primary and secondary voltage and specify the capacity to meet the exact needs of your project.

Q3: What is the expected lifespan of a high-capacity substation transformer?

• A well-maintained transformer can last 30–40 years, depending on the operational conditions and the quality of maintenance it receives.

Q4: How do I transport and install large transformers?

• For large units like 5000 kVA and above, we offer transportation guidance, including lifting, loading, and installation procedures. We also provide advice on proper foundation installation and site preparation.

Q5: Are the transformers suitable for renewable energy applications?

• Yes, Yawei’s substation transformers are ideal for renewable energy integration, providing reliable connections between solar farms, wind turbines, and the main grid.

Maintenance & Operation Guidelines

To maximize the lifespan and performance of your substation transformer, regular maintenance is essential. Here are the key guidelines:

Routine Checks:

• Oil levels and oil quality should be monitored regularly to ensure proper insulation and dielectric properties.

• Check for any visual signs of wear such as bushing cracks, oil leaks, or corrosion.

Temperature Monitoring:

• Monitor transformer temperature with built-in sensors and adjust load to avoid exceeding the rated temperature limits.

Scheduled Inspections:

• Annual maintenance should include cleaning the conservator tank, replacing the breather, and inspecting the tap changer.
