Pad Mounted Transformers

Pad-mounted transformers are generally mounted on the ground for underground distribution networks. These types of transformers are generally used for urban and rural residential, commercial and industrial loads. These units are generally equipped with cable boxes or compartments for terminating the cables on HV and LV bushing terminals.

Three pre-engineered arrangements are available, determined by the customer requirement and standard:

• Cable boxes with HV and LV terminals either at opposite sides of the tank or on the lid.
• Compartments with HV and LV terminals on the same side of the tank comply with ANSI / IEEE standards. HV side is the dead or live front which is arranged either for loop or radial feed.

Pad-Mounted Transformers are oil-immersed, generally hermetically sealed type. The tank is designed to accommodate the expansion of oil during loading through the use of corrugated steel sheets. Sealed type tanks with detachable radiators having gas space which is normally filled with Nitrogen on top of oil or free breathing type having oil conservator can also be offered as per customer requirement.

The windings are generally made up of copper. However, Aluminum windings can also be offered. All the standard designs have been proven by type testing, including Impulse withstand, temperature rise, sound level and short circuit tests.
