What is a dry-type transformer?

Dry-type transformers are widely used in local lighting, high-rise buildings, airports, wharf CNC machinery equipment and other places. Simply put, a dry-type transformer refers to a transformer whose core and windings are not immersed in insulating oil.

Cooling methods are divided into natural air cooling (AN) and forced air cooling (AF). When natural air cooling, the transformer can run continuously for a long time under the rated capacity. When forced air cooling, the output capacity of the transformer can be increased by 50%. It is suitable for intermittent overload operation or emergency accident overload operation; due to the large increase in load loss and impedance voltage during overload, it is in a non-economic operation state, so it should not be kept in continuous overload operation for a long time.
