The medium voltage transformer from DAELIM TRANSFORMER
The medium voltage transformer is one of the important equipments in the power system and distribution.
Medium voltage transformers refer to 6-35kV transformers, which are mainly used in commercial buildings, residences, civil infrastructure, IT data and service centers and other fields.
Today, we mainly focus on the introduction of the connection group, test, identification, standard and so on of the medium voltage transformer.

The connection type of the medium voltage transformer
At present, among the 6-35kV voltage levels, the distribution transformer with dyn1 and ynyn0 winding connection is the most common. As we all know, the distribution transformer winding with Dyn11 connection has obvious advantages over Ynyn0 connection, which suppresses the third harmonic, reduces the zero sequence impedance, and is more conducive to improving the sensitivity of single phase short circuit current action of the circuit breaker at the low-voltage side, making it widely used in engineering design in recent years.
According to the experience, the over-current protector is also used as the single-phase grounding protection at the low-voltage side. For the transformer with winding Dyn11 (hereinafter referred to as D, yn11 transformer), its sensitivity coefficient can meet the requirements; while for the transformer with winding ynyn0, its sensitivity coefficient can meet the requirements or not.

Secondary distribution system design of the medium voltage transformer
At the secondary medium-voltage level voltage transformer system with compact HV or LV transformer substations are mostly used as shown in Figure 1.Presently,secondary transformer substations are not included in the“substation auto matior system” in most of the cases, and can therefore not be monitored or tele controlled.
Statistics from power supply companies referring to supply interruptions at the end customer show that e.g.in Germany about 80% of the interruptions are caused by failures in the medium-voltage system.The System Average Interruption Duration Index(SAIDI) describes the total time of all interruptions for customers, divided by the number of customers. Typical values for a German municipal utility are 10 minutes of annual outage per customer.In other regions of the world the outage times reaches from hours to days.
The utilities customers require maximum availability of the electrical power supply.
Daelim single phase pad mounted transformer is designed as per NEMA,IEEE/ANSI C57.12.38 and IEEE/ANSI C57.12.00, all transformers meets with DOE energy efficiency.
