Cast Resin Transformers
Cast resin transformers are dry-type transformers in which the windings are completely encapsulated in epoxy resin. This design provides excellent insulation, mechanical strength, and resistance to environmental factors, making them ideal for indoor installations and areas requiring high safety standards.
Key Features and Benefits:
Enhanced Safety:Epoxy resin insulation eliminates the risk of oil leakage or fire, making these transformers suitable for commercial buildings, hospitals, and other sensitive locations.
Durability and Reliability:Resistant to dust, moisture, chemicals, and other harsh environmental conditions.
Low Maintenance:Dry-type design reduces the need for routine maintenance compared to oil-filled transformers.
Efficient Cooling:Uses natural air convection or forced air for heat dissipation, avoiding the risks associated with oil cooling.
Applications:
Commercial buildings, shopping centers, and hospitals
Industrial plants in challenging environments
Renewable energy projects such as solar and wind farms
Utility substations in sensitive areas
Design and Construction:
Windings: Copper or aluminum windings fully encapsulated in epoxy resin
Core: High-grade silicon steel core to reduce energy losses
Protection: Designed according to international standards such as IEC for safety and performance
In Saudi Arabia, cast resin transformers are manufactured for industrial, commercial, and utility sectors. Local manufacturers ensure these transformers withstand high temperatures, dust, and environmental challenges, providing safe, efficient, and reliable operation.
