What is Earthing Transformer ?

Earthing Transformer

Earthing Transformer is a special transformer, its main function is to provide an artificial neutral point for the neutral point is not grounded system, easy to use arc suppression coil or small resistance grounding mode, in order to reduce the size of the ground capacitance current when the grounding short-circuit fault occurs in the distribution network, improve the power supply reliability of the distribution system.

Earthing Transformer structure

The structure of Earthing Transformer mainly consists of iron core, winding, insulation material and shell. The core structure is composed of silicon steel sheets of equal thickness, which can effectively reduce the loss of magnetic flux density, improve the efficiency of the core and ensure the stability of the output voltage. Winding is one of the most important parts in the Earthing transformer, and its structure is divided into two types: disc winding and long winding. The insulating material is mainly used to prevent the current from leaking into the winding and the iron core or the case of short circuit. The shell structure is to protect the transformer from mechanical damage and leakage during use.

Working principle of Earthing Transformer

The working principle of the Earthing transformer is to use the magnetic coupling effect of the transformer to isolate the neutral point of a circuit from the ground, so as to protect personal safety and prevent damage to electrical equipment. When the power grid is running normally, the working principle and function of the transformer neutral grounding resistance cabinet. The transformer neutral grounding resistance cabinet has a good effect on reducing the overvoltage of the power grid and improving the safety and reliability of the power grid. The grounding and installation of the 6-66K box-type transformer is the basic work that must be carried out before the use of the box-type transformer, and the grounding is an important part of ensuring the safe use of the box-type transformer. Next, I give you the function and specific connection method of the box transformer grounding brake. The box transformer grounding brake is a switching device that separates the box transformer from the grounding cable.

Type of Earthing Transformer

The Earthing transformer can be divided into oil type and dry type according to the filling medium; According to the number of phases can be divided into three phase grounding change and single phase grounding change. In addition, the ground transformer can also be divided into two-winding ground transformer and three-winding ground transformer according to the winding.

What are the application advantages and development trends of pad-mounted transformers?
In the reconstruction and expansion of modern urban power grids, to optimize the power supply layout, it is required that high - voltage directly enters urban areas, medium - voltage penetrates deep into load centers to shorten the low - voltage power supply radius, and underground cable laying is mostly adopted for urban main roads. Electrical equipment needs to meet the requirements of intelligence, miniaturization, high reliability and aesthetics. The compact substation is widely used in urba

Thermal Optimization Design for Control Cabinets of Pad-Mounted Transformers in Offshore Wind Turbines
Global energy transition boosts offshore wind power, yet complex marine environments challenge turbine reliability. The heat - dissipation of pad - mounted transformer control cabinets (PMTCCs) is critical—undissipated heat causes component damage. Optimizing PMTCC heat dissipation improves turbine efficiency, but research mostly focuses on onshore wind farms, neglecting offshore ones. Thus, design PMTCCs for offshore conditions to enhance safety.1 PMTCC Heat - Dissipation Optimization1.1

I. Design Principles of Pad-mounted TransformersWith the upgrading of power infrastructure, pad-mounted transformers are widely used in various scenarios due to their light weight, small size, low loss, low noise and high reliability. Studies show that when the power supply voltage is increased from 380V to 10kV, line loss is reduced by 60%, and copper consumption and investment are each reduced by 52%, with remarkable economic and social benefits. As a product of modern economic and social deve
