Technical Solution: RW Series Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) Dry-Type Transformers

I. Core Technological Innovations

  1. Defect-Free Insulation System
    • Utilizes Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) process to cast high-density epoxy resin, achieving void-free solidified insulation.
    • Partial discharge levels stably controlled at ​<10 pC​ (IEC 60076-11 standard).
    • Insulation thermal class reaches ​Class H (180°C), with insulation performance degradation rate ​≤5%​ throughout the lifespan.
  2. Robust Environmental Adaptability Structure
    • Integrated casting and sealing technology, achieving ​IP54 protection​ (resists persistent dust ingress and water splashing from all directions).
    • Flame-retardant grade F1​ (per GB/T 2207 standard testing, no sustained combustion under 900°C open flame).
    • Wide operating temperature range: ​-25°C to +40°C​ (no derating required in areas at ​≤1000m altitude).
  3. Energy Efficiency Optimization Design
    • ​≥15% reduction**​ in no-load losses for SCBH15/SCB14 series compared to GB 20052 energy efficiency standard.
    • Measured data (1000kVA): No-load loss ​≤0.40kW, Load loss ​≤7.8kW.
    • Dynamic load loss optimization technology, achieving efficiency ​≥98.5%​ within the 35%~100% load range.
  4. Intelligent Maintenance System
    • Embedded ​PT100 platinum resistors in windings​ (IEC 60751 Class A accuracy, temperature measurement error ​±1°C).
    • Supports ​Modbus RTU/TCP protocols. Enables via IoT gateway:
      • Real-time winding hot-spot temperature monitoring.
      • Three-phase unbalance analysis.
      • Dynamic load-rate energy efficiency assessment.
