Development Analysis of 13.2kV Pad Mounted Transformer in the US Market

13.2kV pad mounted transformer is a power transformer that combines plug-in fuse, backup fuse, tap changer, circuit load switch (2/4 circuit), low-voltage distribution device and other corresponding auxiliary equipment on the basis of ordinary oil 13.2kV immersed transformer. Rated AC frequency 50Hz/60Hz, maximum working voltage up to 35KV, capacity 75KVA-3000KVA. The 13.2kV pad mounted transformer provides many benefits to users, which saves a lot of energy for owners and brings environmental benefits. Higher efficiency not only extends the lifespan of pad mounted transformers, but also saves costs for owners in the form of lower energy bills and reduced ownership costs.

 

 

The main advantages of 13.2kV pad mounted transformer compared to ordinary 13.2kV oil immersed transformer are:

 

 

Safe and reliable: The 13.2kV pad mounted transformer adopts efficient insulation protection and heat dissipation equipment, and the structure of the cable cabinet is reasonable, which can effectively ensure the safety and reliability of the power equipment. The overload capacity is strong: it allows an overload of 2 times 2 hours, an overload of 1.6 times 7 hours, but does not affect the service life of the 13.2kV pad mounted transformer.

 

Adopting elbow type plug: It can be very convenient for connecting high-voltage incoming cables and can be plugged and unplugged with power.

 

Strong defense ability: The 13.2kV pad mounted transformer has strong defense ability, which can effectively resist instantaneous voltage peaks in power equipment and protect the equipment from damage. Adopting dual fuse protection: a. Insert type fuse (BAY-o-NET) is used to protect the secondary side of the box transformer with dual sensitive fuses (temperature and current). 4. Short circuit fault occurs; b. The backup current limiting protection fuse (ELSP) is used to protect the high-voltage side from faults that occur inside the box transformer.

 

4. Long life: The 13.2kV pad mounted transformer produced by Hengfengyou Electric adopts high-quality materials and high-tech production technology, which is durable and has a higher service life. The overall service life is higher than that of ordinary 13.2kV oil immersed transformers.

 

 

 

The 13.2kV pad mounted transformer is divided into terminal type and ring network type (one transformer can supply power to another transformer at the same time), which is very convenient for conversion, improving the power supply distance and reliability.

 

6. Energy conservation and environmental protection: In the design and use of 13.2kV pad mounted transformers, attention is paid to energy conservation and environmental protection (FR3 environmentally friendly vegetable oil is now commonly used), which can not only ensure high energy efficiency, but also reduce energy waste and environmental pollution.

 

 

 

The main disadvantages of 13.2kV pad mounted transformer compared to ordinary 13.2kV oil immersed transformer are:

 

The appearance size and weight of a 13.2kV pad mounted power transformer with the same voltage and capacity are larger than those of a regular 13.2kV oil immersed transformer, and the cost is certainly higher than that of a regular oil immersed transformer.

 

 

The application of 13.2kV pad mounted transformers in the United States includes the following aspects:

 

 

 

1. Industrial production: The 13.2kV pad mounted transformer is suitable for the power supply of heavy industrial sites such as large factories, mines, and smelting enterprises. These places usually require higher voltage levels and current capacities to meet their production needs.

 

 

 

2. Municipal engineering: 13.2kV pad mounted transformers can be used in urban public facilities, such as subways, airports, hospitals, etc. These places usually require reliable power supply to ensure their normal operation and require small space, so pad mounted transformers are also an ideal choice.

 

 

 

3. Commercial buildings: 13.2kV pad mounted transformers are suitable for commercial buildings, such as shopping centers and office buildings. These buildings typically require high power quality and reliable power supply to meet their efficient operational needs.

 

 

 

Overall, the 13.2kV pad mounted transformer is crucial for the power distribution system in the United States. Their stability and reliability ensure the normal operation of the power system, providing reliable power supply for different industries and living areas.

 

 

 

 

The reasons why 13.2kV pad mounted transformers are widely used in the United States may include:

 

 

 

1. Easy installation: The 13.2kV pad mounted transformer has a small volume and light weight, and can be installed in existing circuits without the need for large-scale renovation projects.

 

2. Efficient performance: The 13.2kV pad mounted transformer has high efficiency, which can convert input power into usable electrical energy and reduce energy waste.

 

3. High reliability: The 13.2kV pad mounted transformer has high reliability and stability, and can be used for a long time in harsh environments without frequent maintenance. Hengfengyou Electric has UL certification in the United States and CSA certification for transformers in Canada, providing a perfect solution for pad mounted transformers hfy@hengfengyou.com .

 

 

 

4. Environmental protection: The 13.2kV pad mounted transformer has lower noise and electromagnetic radiation, and has less impact on the environment, meeting the environmental requirements of the United States.

 

5. Economical and Affordable: The 13.2kV pad mounted transformer has a relatively low price, making it an economical choice for some users with limited budgets.

 

 

 

Hengfengyou Electric has a promising market outlook for 13.2kV pad mounted transformers, especially in the transmission and distribution sectors, where demand will continue to grow. At the same time, technological development and innovation within the industry will also promote the development of intelligence, digitization, efficiency, low noise, energy conservation and environmental protection.

 

 

Export of 13.2kV pad mounted transformers to the United States requires UL approval:

 

 

 

13.2kV pad mounted transformers are one of the regulated products and therefore require UL certification. US UL certification is an important standard for evaluating and certifying the safety performance of pad mounted transformers. 13.2kV pad mounted transformers exported to the United States require UL certification in order to enter the market. Hengfengyou Electric has UL certification in the United States and CSA certification for transformers in Canada, providing a perfect solution for pad mounted transformers hfy@hengfengyou.com .

 

 

 

In summary, especially in the US market, the demand for 13.2kV pad mounted transformers is very large and has an important strategic position. In future development, market demand will continue to grow steadily, while technological development and innovation will become important trends and demands in the industry.
