Pad Mounted Transformer for BESS System 4.0 MVA in Riverside County, California

Pad Mounted Transformer for BESS System

Today, Daelim Transformer is proud to introduce a pad-mounted transformer for a 4.0 MVA Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project located in Riverside County, California.

This pad-mounted transformer is specifically designed for deployment at a Battery Energy Storage power generation facility. Its robust design is engineered to withstand harmonic voltages and currents emanating from inverters, transient over-voltages caused by switching surges and faults, and the significant variations in transformer loading commonly encountered in BESS projects. The transformer is meticulously crafted to comply with the specifications outlined in the California Electrical Code Article 450.

Compartment Details

Compartment Details

12.47 kV Compartment

  • Loop feed bushings for termination with 600 Amp dead break elbows conforming to ANSI C57.12.26 standards.
  • Dead front construction, expulsion type fuses, and NEMA 2-hole tank ground. To address the issue of excessive current, engineers opted for protection by employing six Bay-O-Net fuses.

34.5 kV Compartment

  • Similar specifications to the 12.47 kV compartment conforming to ANSI C57.12.26 standards.

Compartment Location

  • High-voltage and low-voltage compartments are located on one side of the transformer tank, separated by a vertical steel barrier.
