Products are built as series or custom, up to the power of 16 MVA<\/strong> and medium voltage insulation levels of 52 kV<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Three-phase transformers are destined to all sectors somehow connected to electrical energy, from production to distribution, from industry to naval applications, to the railway sector and power electronics.<\/p>\n

Each dry-type transformer\u2019s design aims at attaining a long lifespan, high efficiency, low losses and footprint reduction.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1397″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1402″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”img_link_large”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Dry-type VPI LV-MV transformers with power rating up to 16 MVA: an excellent alternative to cast resin<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Vacuum Pressure Impregnated (VPI) transformers are alternatives to liquid insulated and cast resin transformers.<\/p>\n

Dry-type VPI transformers offer better characteristics<\/strong> with respect to the other two types: mechanical compactness and dielectric stability due to resin impregnation, together with the usage of an insulating fluid, air, which does not show aging nor has needs in terms of maintenance.<\/p>\n

This technique involves impregnating the transformer with polyester or epoxy resin under a vacuum atmosphere<\/strong>, so that air bubbles, dust and small particles are substituted with dielectric resin, this way eliminating any possible cause of local weakening in the insulation system. The subsequent polymerization in oven, through controlled thermal cycles, solidifies conductor materials, insulation and resin in a single piece, to attain superior mechanical and electrical characteristics.<\/p>\n

The insulating structure obtained this way generates the best compromise between resin impregnated paper (within the windings) and air (separating windings and earthed parts). The dielectric strength is, for its major part, sustained by air, greatly reducing the quantity of material that may be subjected to fire hazard. The solid materials used (aramid paper or mica and fiberglass) are carefully selected for their self-extinguishing properties and represent a small percentage of the electrical machine weight, especially in comparison with cast coil transformers.<\/p>\n

All of FDUEG transformers built through this technique are certified F1 class for what involves flammability and combustion gas emissions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Another advantage of VPI technology resides in noise emission limitation, given by magnetostriction in the transformer\u2019s core: the insulating resin, in fact, notably reduces vibrations while the primary winding is fed, both in no-load working condition and under the effect of relevant currents.[\/vc_column_text][vc_images_carousel images=”1407″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_no” hide_pagination_control=”yes”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1556550758627{margin-top: -185px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;border-radius: 3px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

Special dry type transformers<\/h3>\n

FDUEG answers to diverse requests from multiple application sectors with specific solutions, made possible by the versatility of a constructive technology that is simple and of proved efficacy. The many solutions available for the construction of iron core, primary and secondary windings allow to use different cooling media and systems (natural or forced air, water) to drive the design stage. Two decades of cooperation with the largest players in the sector of energy distribution permit to deeply understand the needs of every application area for dry-type transformers and to offer the best solution in both technical and economic terms.<\/p>\n

The offer from the Engineering Department is complete and continuously evolving, with a technical office ready to analyze and solve any of the customers\u2019 needs<\/strong>. The criteria for compactness, efficiency and trustworthiness in time of the product stand still as guidance for the company\u2019s production, being it in series or for a single piece.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
