Single phase pad mounted transformer

A single-phase pad-mounted transformer, also known as a residential transformer, is a compact and enclosed structure designed for outdoor installation. The transformer is a sealed structure, and its high and low-voltage facilities are installed side by side in the cable entrance compartment. The transformer tank has a protective flap cover. The cable entrance compartment uses a padlock in accordance with ANSI C57.12.28 to lock the unit. The residential transformer is tamper-resistant and weather-resistant.

Daelim offers a single-phase pad-mounted transformer with a two-fuse system, providing enhanced safety and protection. Here are some key features

1. Multi-standard design (ANSI, IEEE, CSA, DOE, NEMA, etc.);
2. Safe, reliable, and environmentally friendly(UL, cUL, CSA listed);
3. Customizable (dual-voltage, voltage, power rating, etc.);
4. ONAN, KNAN and LNAN.

High voltage bushings

Daelim’s residential transformer features two internally connected high-voltage bushing wells, namely H1A and H1B, which are equipped with removable studs. These wells are designed for easy connection to the distribution system using separable insulated connectors, enabling safe and convenient dead-front operation. They comply with the dimensional and electrical requirements specified in IEEE 386 standards. Each high-voltage bushing well is provided with a protective cap to ensure its integrity during transportation and storage.

The high-voltage winding’s H2 end is internally connected to the tank wall and marked as the external ground terminal (H2). This connection ensures proper grounding for the transformer, enhancing safety and performance.

Low voltage bushings

Single-phase pad-mounted transformers with ratings up to and including 100 kVA typically utilize a seven-hole straight spade low-voltage terminal. On the other hand, transformers with ratings over and including 167 kVA make use of a four-hole spade low-voltage terminal. The spade terminals are positioned at an angle of orientation of 30± 5°. These terminals are made of plated corrosion-resistant metal, suitable for connecting copper or aluminum connectors. In the case of stud-type bushings, the low-voltage terminals are made of plated copper, also compatible with copper or aluminum connectors.

The low-voltage neutral is connected to an insulated terminal known as X2, which has a current-carrying capacity equal to that of the other low-voltage terminals.

Daelim’s single-phase pad-mounted transformer is carefully packaged to ensure safe transportation. It is placed on a wooden pallet and surrounded by a protective wooden frame. Before packaging, the transformer is thoroughly wrapped with a layer of soft plastic film, providing protection against scratches and corrosion during transit.

During transportation, the residential transformers are double-stacked. The lower-level residential transformer is placed on a robust wooden frame, offering superior load-bearing capacity. The upper-level residential transformer is positioned on a sturdy wooden pallet. Both levels are securely fastened with straps to prevent any movement or damage.
