Oil Immersed Power Transformers

GANELEC supplies oil-immersed power transformers that feature a robust design where the core and windings are fully submerged in high-quality insulating oil. 

This innovative design not only ensures superior electrical insulation but also provides effective cooling, reducing thermal stresses and enhancing overall efficiency. Ideal for demanding industrial and utility applications, these transformers offer exceptional durability, reliable performance, and a longer service life, making them a dependable choice for your power distribution needs.

Oil-immersed transformers are a vital component in electrical power distribution, where the core and windings are fully submerged in insulating oil. This design enhances performance, safety, and longevity through several key functions:

Insulation and cooling

The insulating oil provides excellent electrical insulation between the windings and absorbs heat generated during operation. Circulating within the transformer, the oil transfers heat away from the core and windings to external cooling systems or the transformer's surface, ensuring efficient thermal management.

Types of insulating oil

Mineral oil is most commonly used for its effective insulating properties and thermal conductivity. Alternatives like silicone-based or synthetic hydrocarbon oils are gaining popularity due to superior fire resistance and environmental credentials.

Construction

Constructed with high-grade steel cores and windings made from copper or aluminum, these components are housed inside a sealed, robust tank filled with insulating oil. This encapsulation ensures durability and protection against environmental elements.
