Introduction

Dry-type power transformers are widely used in diverse applications due to their safety, efficiency, and environmental benefits. Unlike oil-filled transformers, dry-type transformers do not use liquid coolants, significantly reducing the risk of fires and environmental contamination. This article sheds light on the specific benefits of using dry-type transformers and highlights the solutions offered by HOLEEP Company.

Benefits of Dry-Type Power Transformers

1. Safety

One of the primary benefits of dry-type transformers is their enhanced safety. Since they use air as a cooling medium instead of oil, there is no risk of leakage or spillage, which eliminates the risk of flammable hazards. The fire risk is reduced by up to 90% compared to oil-filled units.

2. Environmental Impact

Dry-type transformers are environmentally friendly as they do not require oil, which can cause soil and water contamination in the event of a leak. The adoption of these transformers can reduce environmental liability by 100% since they eliminate any risk associated with oil spills.

3. Efficiency

Modern dry-type transformers are designed to operate with high efficiency levels, typically achieving losses under full load conditions of less than 1%. This efficiency contributes to reduced operational costs and energy savings over the transformer's lifetime.

4. Minimal Maintenance

The absence of oils and coolants translates to lower maintenance requirements. Dry-type transformers generally require less frequent inspections and have no need for oil sampling, reducing maintenance costs by approximately 50% compared to oil-filled units.

5. Durability and Longevity

Dry-type transformers are known for their robust construction, which allows them to withstand harsh environmental conditions. They are capable of operating in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 40°C without performance degradation, which adds to their longevity.
