The S11/S13/S20/S22 Series power transformers are engineered for superior performance and durability in diverse applications, including industrial facilities and power substations. With advanced core and winding designs, these transformers deliver low energy loss, excellent cooling, and long service life.The corrugated tank design compensates for oil volume changes caused by temperature fluctuations, improving operational stability.The transformers are sealed to prevent oxygen and moisture ingress, ensuring optimal insulation and oil longevity.Safety features, including pressure release and gas relay options, enhance reliability for critical installations.

Product Advantages
High-Efficiency Core: The transformer core is made of high-permeability, grain-oriented cold-rolled silicon steel sheets. Featuring a new structure with fully mitered joints and stepped circular cross-sections, the core minimizes energy loss and noise.
Reliable Windings: The windings are designed with corrugated oil ducts and non-impregnated processes, secured with compression bands. High-voltage windings come with taps to adjust the voltage as required, with tap changers conveniently located on the tank lid for easy operation after power disconnection.
Safety Protection Devices: Models ranging from 30 to 2000kVA are equipped with pressure relief valves and optional gas relays with alarm and tripping terminals to enhance operational safety.
Advanced Oil Cooling System: The transformer features a corrugated wall tank with integrated cooling and “breathing” functions, eliminating the need for an oil conservator. The vacuum oil-filling process ensures no moisture or air contamination, enhancing the longevity of the AC transformer and reducing maintenance requirements.
Operating Conditions
Rated Voltage: ≤11kV.
Altitude: ≤1000m.
Ambient Temperature: -25°C to +40°C.
Installation: Indoor or outdoor installations in industrial settings.

Application

The 11kV oil-immersed transformer is mainly used in terminal power distribution scenarios such as urban residential areas, industrial parks, industrial and mining enterprises, commercial buildings, rural power grids, and construction sites. As the core equipment for converting 11kV high voltage to 0.4kV low voltage, it meets the power demands for production, daily life, lighting, and power supply, and is suitable for long-term stable operation outdoors. It is the most widely used and largest quantity transformer type in the power distribution system.

FAQ

What is an oil‑immersed transformer?

An oil‑immersed transformer is a type of power transformer where the core and windings are submerged in insulating oil, which provides electrical insulation and heat dissipation, improving overall performance and reliability.

What does “11kV” mean in this transformer context?

“11kV” refers to the rated primary voltage level of the transformer. A 11kV transformer is designed to operate in power distribution systems where the primary side voltage is around 10,000 volts.

Where are 11kV oil‑immersed transformers typically used?

They are widely used in medium‑voltage distribution networks, commercial and industrial power systems, renewable energy plants (like solar or wind farms), and substations for stepping down voltage to lower levels for end‑use equipment.

Why is insulating oil used in these transformers?

Insulating oil serves two major functions:
• Electrical insulation — provides high dielectric strength.
• Cooling — carries heat away from windings and core to maintain safe operating temperatures.

What are the main components of an oil‑immersed transformer?

Typical components include:
• Core and windings
• Insulating oil
• Bushings
• Tap changer (on load or off load)
• Cooling radiators
• Protective devices like temperature sensors and pressure relief devices

How does a 11kV oil‑immersed transformer help in power distribution?

It steps down medium‑voltage electricity (11kV) to a lower usable voltage (such as 400/230V) for distribution to downstream loads, reducing transmission losses and improving safety and compatibility with equipment.

What protection features are commonly included?

Common protection features include:
• Overload protection
• Buchholz relay (for oil movement/fault detection)
• Temperature monitoring
• Pressure relief devices
• Lightning/surge protection

These help detect faults and protect the transformer from damage.

Can 11kV transformers be used outdoors?

Yes. Oil‑immersed transformers are often designed with weatherproof housings and robust cooling systems for outdoor installation in transformer yards, substations, and distribution sites.

What maintenance is required for oil‑immersed transformers?

Routine maintenance usually includes:
• Checking oil level and quality
• Monitoring temperature and gauges
• Inspecting bushings and seals
• Testing protective relays and insulation resistance

Regular maintenance helps ensure long‑term reliable operation.

Can a 11kV oil‑immersed transformer be customized?

Yes. Transformers can be customized based on:
• Voltage ratio and capacity (kVA/MVA)
• Cooling method (ONAN, ONAF, etc.)
• Tap changer configuration
• Protection devices and communication m
