These transformers can be customized to meet the individual needs of customers:

  • A variety of de-energized and on-load tap changers are available from approved suppliers. Control systems are available for the on-load tap changers that allow for parallel operation and remote control. Monitoring is also available for the on-load tap changers.
  • A wide range of monitoring, diagnostic, and remote control options are available including monitoring options for bushings, automatic DGA, hot spot winding temperature, oil hot spot, and both UHF and ultrasonic partial discharge.
  • Gages are available from a variety of suppliers. Available options include analog gauges as well as digital gauges that work with remote monitoring systems.
  • Pressure relief devices are available with or without an oil flow director that can be routed toward the bottom of the tank.
  • Buchholz relays are available as well as fire extinguishing systems that release nitrogen to the inside of the tank and a shut off valve between the conservator and Buchholz relay when an event is detected.
    
  • The usual oil preservation systems used for power transformers are all available. A corrugated stainless steel conservator that goes up and down and requires no breather or air bag is also available.
  • Cooling systems utilizing panel radiators, fans, oil pumps, and coolers are available from approved vendors.
  • Water cooling is available mainly for rectifier transformers and hydro-power applications. Radiators can be controlled to turn on sequentially with increasing temperature.
  • Porcelain and Composite bushings are available from a number of suppliers on customer request.

Double split transformer design used in Power Generation

To meet and exceed the requirements for power generation applications, XD|GE specially designs and manufactures a series of low voltage radial double split transformers. Ranging from 35kV to 500kV with capacities ranging from 31.5mVA to 130MVA, our unique design provides improved short circuit withstand of the transformer and the starting/spare transformer used at the power station.

To ensure proper fit and function for each unique application, the structural design is customized based on the impedence level required.
