three Phase Pad Mounted Transformer

Dead front transformer comes with 200A and 600A separate bushings (bushing well + bushing insert) or a one-piece bushing. In the case of the dead-front transformer with a 200A HV bushing, it can be fully shielded and insulated for the load-break elbow connector connection to the underground cable. For the dead-front transformer with a 600A HV bushing, the current needs to be converted into 200A through the T-body dead-break connector before being connected to the underground cable via the load-break elbow connector. ome BESS projects require 3-phase pad-mounted transformers with 900A dead front bushings, and Daelim Transformer can meet these requirements. We have completed numerous BESS and photovoltaic projects.

3 Phase Pad Mounted Transformer Sizes

The sizes of 3 phase pad mounted transformers vary based on power ratings, primary and secondary voltages, materials, etc. The table below provides specific dimensions of some pad mounted transformer projects completed by Daelim Transformer for your reference only.

3 Phase pad mounted transformer grounding

CSA Standard Grounding Provisions

According to CSA standards, grounding provisions for three phase pad mounted transformers include two vertically mounted earth spade terminals welded to the tank wall at a height of at least 150 mm at or above sill level. One terminal is placed on the high-voltage side and one on the low-voltage side. For GrdY transformers, the high-voltage side terminals shall be designated and marked H0. Both terminals shall be unpainted, made of stainless steel, with a width of not less than 40 mm and a thickness of not less than 6 mm. Each terminal is provided with two 14 mm (9/16 inches) holes, spaced 44.5 mm apart.

IEEE Standard Grounding Provisions

For transformers of 500 kVA and below, two steel pads shall be provided, each having a 1/2% inch 13 UNC tapped hole and a minimum thread depth of 11 mm (0.44 in.).

For transformers above 500 kVA, two unpainted copper-faced steel or stainless steel pads measuring 51 x 89 mm (2.0 x 3.5 in) each shall be provided. Each pad has two holes spaced 44 mm (1.75 in) on centers and tapped for a 1/2%-inch 13 UNC thread. The copper finish shall be not less than 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) thick, and the thread depth of the hole shall be not less than 13 mm (0.5 in).

Location

The ground pads should be welded on or near the transformer base, one in each high-voltage compartment and one in each low-voltage compartment. If the transformer tank and compartment are separate, these pads shall be electrically connected.

Pad Mounted Transformer Components

Pad mounted transformers have several key components:

• Transformer Tank: Made of steel, it houses the core and windings.
• Transformer Core: Provides a path for magnetic flux.
• Transformer Windings: Copper or aluminum conductors wrapped around the core.
• Bushings: Insulating devices for electrical connections.
• Tap Changer: Adjusts output voltage as needed.
• Insulating Oil: Provides insulation and cooling.
• Gauges: Measures parameters like oil temperature and pressure
• Lifting Lugs: Used for transportation.
• Grounding Terminals: Ensures electrical safety.
• Nameplate: Displays essential information.
• Loadbreak Switch: Allows for the safe interruption of current flow during maintenance or repairs.
• Fuses: Protects against overcurrent conditions by melting when the current exceeds a certain threshold.
