Designed specifically for mobile power solutions in the oil and gas sector. The transformer is a custom engineered 3 phase distribution transformer combined with mobility, capacity, and rugged performance in one package. Daelim engineers has designed and developed this oil type transformer in accordance with IEEE C57.12.00 standards and has UL listed E583815. Featuring multiple cooling mechanisms to optimize the transformer working as per load requirements. Transformer also features an NLTC with a high voltage side having five tap positions and a single low voltage side giving transformer voltage range of 13.8 KV to 35 KV and power capacity of 12 MVA to 20 MVA.

The transformer is designed to operate for three different power ratings as per the electrical load requirements. This is especially necessary for the oil and gas field where work load depends on the nature of tasks being performed at the moment.
The transformer offers power rating of
Each power rating has its own specific voltage and current output. The 12 MVA here works as the baseline power rating and most transformer features like load losses and impedance are calculated on this base line.
The transformer is equipped with standard high voltage and low voltage winding. The high voltage winding gives different voltage options for each of the power ratings and thus has three different current ratings too.
Winding | Voltage | Configuration | Current |
HV | 23/25/27/33/35 kV | Wye (grounded) | 62.7 A (typical) |
LV | 13.8 kV | Delta | 3000 A |
The five voltage connection at high voltage winding enables the transformer to match the various grid conditions. This is an ideal feature of a transformer for mobile deployment across different regions.

The transformer is designed with three different cooling systems in one single package. The transformer has ONAN, ONAF 1, and ONAF 2 cooling systems and each system is designed to remove waste heat when the transformer is working at a specific load.
Cooling Method | Rated Capacity |
ONAN | 12 MVA |
ONAF-1 | 16 MVA |
ONAF-2 | 20 MVA |
The transformer is also equipped with a removable radiator to remove waste heat when the transformer is working at its maximum capacity. The transformer tank contains 1950 gallons of mineral oil at 25 degree centigrade for cooling and insulation purposes and also has a radiator that can contain 199 gallons of mineral oil at 25 degree centigrade. This cooling system is designed for the ambient operating temperature of 40 degree centigrade or 104 degree Fahrenheit.
Each part of the transformer is designed to have minimum weight without compromising quality so it can be installed on trailers and can be moved with ease. Weight of Transformer core, winding, tank and fittings, transformer oil and cooling system is mentioned below in pounds.
