What is a dry transformer?

 ABB manufactures a transformer which does not

use any kind of liquid for cooling, it has windings
encapsulated under Vacuum, in epoxy resin
reinforced with glass net.
 It is the most technologically advanced design
for extreme conditions.
 ABB 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.

Vibration proof

 The vibration to which the transformer is

exposed to during its lifetime, was
summarized in an acceleration spectrum
with the simulation of its life cycle loads.

 Multi-axis vibration tests, and shock tests

were performed as per IEC 68-2-6/59,
German edition EN 60068 parts 2-6 and 2-
59 as well as particular customer’s
requirements.

 Extreme accelerations due to handling or

harsh vibration were also considered in
these tests.

 E2 test is necessary when the transformer is going to be placed where frequent condensation or/and
heavy pollution.

 Condensation test:
 6 or more hours in the test chamber (condensation & humidity above 93%).
 After 6 hours, the transformer is tested with induced voltage during 15 minutes at 1.1 times
the rated power.
 Humidity penetration test:
 144 hours inside the climatic chamber with air temperature at 50  3 ºC & relative humidity
at (90  5)%.
 After 3 hours in ambient conditions the transformer shall be subjected to routine insulation
test at 80% of standard values.

 During any voltage application will not be approved neither breakdown nor flashover or any serious

 E2+ (Plus): In condensation test, water conductivity is kept at 1,5 S/m, and dielectric tests
are carried out as for neutral isolated system.
 Step one: After 6 hours in condensation chamber, with water conductivity 1,5 S/m passed dielectric
tests at 1.1 rated voltage, between line terminals and ground.
 Step two: After 144 hours in climatic chamber passed routine dielectric tests at 80% of standard test
values.

Features switching off endurance test

 After 20.000 switching off operations at full nap load voltage, the
transformer does not show any increase of partial discharges, neither
along the winding to the ground, partial discharges remained constant
along the test what means that the transformer has not suffered any
significant loss of life.
 Our transformers are in good conditions very similar to a new one,
and can be put in operation in a network which has the same
conditions and capacity between the switchgear and transformer in a
test circuit.
