Volledige analyse van de technologie van olie-ondergedompelde transformatoren: structurele principes, kern voordelen, en wereldwijde applicatietrends

1.Why oil immersed transformers are still the mainstream of the global power grid

Against the backdrop of rapid development of new energy and continuous expansion of the global power grid, olie-ondergedompelde transformatoren still dominate the medium and high voltage power systems.
Whether on the power generation side, transmission side, or industrial distribution field, oil immersed transformers remain the preferred solution in the global market due to their high reliability, strong overload capacity, and mature technical system.

Especially in regions such as Africa, het Midden-Oosten, South America, en Zuidoost-Azië, oil immersed transformers have been widely used by power companies and EPC projects for a long time due to their adaptability to harsh environments and low maintenance costs.

2.What is an olie-ondergedompelde transformatoren

Oil immersed transformers refers to a transformer in which the winding and iron core are completely immersed in insulating oil during operation.
Insulating oil simultaneously undertakes three core functions:

  • insulation
  • heat dissipation
  • Fault energy buffer

This is also the fundamental difference between it and dry-type transformers.

3.Core structure and technical principles of oil immersed transformers

3.1 IJzeren kernsysteem

Cold rolled oriented silicon steel sheet
Ladder laminated structure
Reduce no-load losses and noise

👉 High end products have widely adopted low loss silicon steel and laser marking technology.

3.2 Opwindsysteem

Materiaal: Copper winding/Aluminum winding
Form: cylindrical, continuous, spiral

Key indicators:

  • mechanical strength
  • thermische stabiliteit
  • Anti short circuit capability

3.3 Insulation oil system

Common oils include:

  • mineral oil
  • natural ester oil
  • Synthetic ester oil

Onder hen, environmentally friendly ester oils are becoming a new hotspot in the international market, especially in European projects.
