What is a dry type transformer: Energypac manufactures a transformer which does not use any kind of liquid for cooling, it has windings encapsulated under Vacuum, in epoxy resin reinforced with fibre glass mesh. It is the most technologically advanced design for extreme conditions. Energypac has flexibility to produce transformers for optimum space utilization, and special requirements. These transformers meet strict parameters with respect to electrical system demands, are virtually maintenance free and are manufactured in accordance with industry and international standards including, IEC 60076-11, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Energypac Cast Resin Transformers Production Range up to 3150 kVA and up to 22 kV CRT

CRT Why Vacuum cast coil Partial discharge free State of the art casting technology. Stronger resistance against short-circuit stress. Superior behaviour on load changes (thermal). Better performance under dynamic loads (mechanic). Better performance under severe ambiental conditions (exceeding E2). More suitability for extreme environmental conditions. Vacuum cast coil transformers are according to International standards. CRT
Compared with oil cooled transformers of the same specification Benefits Self-extinguishing material. Maintenance free. Compact and Space can save up to 25% compare to oil type More flexible in use No production loss or interruption due to maintenance. Partial coil replacement available at site if required within short time. Continuous same performance without loss. (Reference temperature for oil type is 750C and dry type is 1200C) Easy installation (need just a direct contact protection barrier). Enclosure available if required. High resistance to short circuits. High capacity to support overloads. High performance in dealing with seismic phenomenon. Capable of withstanding the most severe of rolling and vibrating conditions. Compared with oil cooled transformers of the same specification CRT
CRT Environment friendly Reduced environmental contamination. Zero risk of leakage of flammable or contaminating substances. No pollution risks due to the absense of any cooling fluids Environmental safe in production. Well suited to damp and contaminated areas. No fire hazard. Transformers are non flammable and self-extinguishing. When disposing of the transformer, the cast resin is considered an inert material and both the secondary windings and the core can easily be recovered CRT
Energypac’s product competitive edges The lowest partial discharge value due to most advanced casting technology. The typical partial discharges is below 5pC (maximum allowed 10pC). Epoxy resin cast under vacuum avoids entry of moisture and protects against aggressive environments. Unique coil finishing provides smooth surface eliminating dust accumulation. Self-extinguishing in the event of fire or arcing and no gases released with potential danger. Step lap core configuration granting lower values of no load losses, no load current and noise level. Maintaining E2, C2 and F1 classes. Local manufacturing and competitive price Faster delivery and response time. Available material and automatic inventory system European consultant and experts. Adopted European Technology In house testing facilities Stringent QC and maintenance, ISO 9001-2008 CRT
Comparison: Dry Transformers versus Oil Transformers The best alternative due to: Suitable to operate in humid or heavily polluted environments (E2). Suitable for operation, transport and storage at ambient temperatures down to minus 25 ºC (C2). Restricted flammability, self fire extinction (F1). Emission of toxic substances and opacity of fumes is minimized (F1). Partial discharges bellow 5 pc in average. Withstand the same impulse test even for exposed situation are available source arrestors kit. Have more ability to withstand thermal and dynamic short circuit effects. Mechanically stronger, safer against vibrations, earthquakes, etc.. No liquid, neither leaks and no risk of polluting spills. Fire hazard Safety for people and property Respect for natural life CRT
Comparison: Dry Transformers versus Oil Transformers An average of 20 % less volume (more for big sizes) 15 % less weight (more for big sizes) Wherever there are space limitations, cast resin transformers (due to their compact construction) can be installed inside of a building and consequently closer to the load The result: savings in the cost of connection and reduced losses in the power supply Compact Design Compared with oil cooled transformers of the same specification CRT

CRT Economical Aspects Less space needed. Less civil work needed. No special safety features required. (fire detection) Maintenance free. Longer transformer life due to low thermal and dialectic ageing. Can be installed closer to the point of consumption reducing load cable losses. Optimal design subject to constant improvements in design as new materials become available. Produced in high throughput, specialised and efficient Energypac factories. Very low operational cost. Easy installation of indoor or outdoor. Flexibility to change the design based on material price and optimize the total price CRT
