Cast Resin Transformer

Varelen technology: What makes our factory are different?

Varelen electric used most advanced production technology and the most control systems to guarantee the transformer products quality and total product reliabliity.

 

  • Manufactured in accordance with IEC, AS, EN, IEEE/ANSI, GOST

1. Magnetic core:

The three-limb iron core is made of oblique cut Grain-oriented, seven-step silicon steel laminations insulated on both sides, guaranteeing low losses and low noise. These values are even improved by laser treatment. It is protected on the surface with a flash-proof varnish in order to prevent the sheet from corrosion and to reduce the noise.

 

2. Clamping frame:  it is processed by CNC cutting, bending and then one-time punch forming, the hole’s size is accurate and the appearance looks delicate.

 

3. HV and LV winding: The winding coil is made of oxygen-free copper, class H for main insulation materials and coil is insulated by NOMEX paper of DUPONT brand, LV winding is isolated by copper foils. All these make the heat-resistant is up to 220℃, with excellent overload capacity and low loss, but high efficiency.

4. Varelen practices strictly exclusive casting system of F(155℃) or H(180℃), and the epoxy resin is injected and casted in the vacuum machine, so it’s highly insulated, dust-proof and moisture-proof, which ensures stable and reliable performance.

 

cast resin transformers provide solutions for:

  • ✅Operation in grids subject to harmonic distortion
  • ✅Switching surges and lightning overvoltages
  • ✅Extreme environmental conditions:
  • ✅very hot climates, e.g. desert regions
  • ✅high environmental exposure (salt, air humidity, gases)
  • ✅High short-time overload requirement, e.g. up to 450 % of the rated power
  • ✅Mean long-term loads up to 140 % of the rated power with fans
  • ✅Power systems requiring a high degree of availability
  • ✅Loads due to switching surges (vacuum circuit-breakers)
  • ✅High demands regarding mechanical oscillations (crane, excavator, seismic areas, ships)

 

For each transformer are prepared and issued a test report, in accordance with IEC 60076. except for routine tests, we also offer type tests and specialized tests to meet all customer requirements. We make what matters work for our customers in a safe and reliable way.

Varelen has launched online FAT plan for customers. Our factory can make acceptance testing ( either witnessed and on-line) in order to show all technical and quality requirements have been done before shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a dry-type transformer?

Cast resin dry-type transformer uses solid insulation instead of oil, making it safe, eco-friendly, and low-maintenance - ideal for indoor and environmentally sensitive areas.

2. How are dry type transformers cooled?

Dry-type transformers are typically cooled by natural air (AN) or forced air (AF). Air flows over the windings and core to dissipate heat, with fans used in forced-air systems for enhanced cooling when needed.

3. What are the advantages of dry type transformers over oil-filled transformers?

Dry-type transformers,  offer several key advantages: Fire safety: No flammable oil, reducing fire risk.

Eco-friendly: Use of epoxy resin insulation means no toxic gases or oil leaks.

Low maintenance: Resistant to moisture and suitable for harsh environments.

Quiet operation: Special coil supports reduce noise and vibration.

High reliability: Proven performance under mechanical stress and extreme conditions.

4. What is the difference between cast resin and VPI insulation technologies?

  • Cast Resin Transformers: windings are encapsulated in epoxy resin under vacuum, offering excellent protection against moisture, dust, and corrosive atmospheres. Ideal for harsh environments.
