Latest company news about Difference for Dry-Type Transformers and Oil-Immersed Transformers

1. Overview of Dry-Type and Oil-Immersed Transformers

Both dry-type and oil-immersed transformers serve the essential function of voltage transformation, but they differ significantly in design and application. Dry-type transformers use air or solid insulation systems without any insulating oil, while oil-immersed transformers rely on oil for insulation and cooling. Each type has its advantages and is selected based on specific requirements.

 

2. Technical Cost Comparison

 

Factor Dry-Type Transformers Oil-Immersed Transformers
Overview Uses air or solid insulation (no oil); ideal for indoor, environmentally sensitive, or fire-risk areas Uses oil for insulation and cooling; suitable for outdoor and less environmentally restrictive areas
Manufacturing Cost - High due to expensive materials like silicone rubber and epoxy resin - Lower due to less costly materials
- Complex production process with strict quality controls required - Simpler production process with less stringent environmental controls
Installation Cost - Relatively low; does not require special containment or handling equipment - Requires specialized equipment and trained personnel for safe oil handling
- Installation is straightforward - Higher installation cost due to oil management
Operating & Maintenance Cost - Lower maintenance; no need for oil replacement - Requires regular oil replacement and disposal
- Minimal waste management required - Waste oil management incurs additional costs
Environmental Impact Environmentally friendly; no risk of oil leakage, making it suitable for sensitive installations Oil leakage risks and disposal requirements lead to additional environmental management costs
Ideal Applications Indoor installations, high fire-safety requirements, and environmentally sensitive areas Outdoor installations and applications where environmental sensitivity is lower
