Off-circuit Tap Changer

Category: DETC / Off-circuit Tap Changer

Oil-immersed transformer uses insulating oil for cooling and insulation. With good heat dissipation, strong overload capacity and stable performance, it is the most widely adopted transformer in global power transmission & distribution projects, commonly applied in outdoor grids, renewable power plants, mining and large infrastructure.
  1. Excellent heat dissipation & insulation: Insulating oil serves as both cooling medium and dielectric material. It features high heat transfer efficiency for high voltage & large capacity applications and strong short-time overload capability.

  2. High reliability & long service life: With proper maintenance, service life reaches 25–35 years. Strong short-circuit resistance for continuous long-term operation.

  3. Cost-effective: Lower investment cost compared with dry-type transformers at the same rating, especially for large-capacity projects.

  4. Adaptable to harsh outdoor conditions: Rainproof and dustproof, stable operation under high temperature, dusty and remote field environments.

  5. Convenient condition monitoring: Internal faults can be predicted via oil sampling and gas analysis for predictive maintenance.

  6. Notes: Insulating oil is flammable. Fire protection and anti-leakage measures are required during installation. Periodic inspection of oil level and oil quality is necessary.
