1. What is the difference between SG(B) and SC(B) dry type transformers?
SG(B) Series Non-Encapsulated Dry Type Transformer adopts an open winding structure, allowing direct airflow through the windings for better heat dissipation and easier maintenance.
SC(B) Series uses epoxy resin cast windings, providing stronger protection against moisture, dust, and pollution.
SG(B) is commonly considered for high-temperature, heavy-load, and industrial applications, while SC(B) is often selected for environments requiring stronger insulation protection.
2. What does H Class insulation 180℃ mean?
The 180℃ value represents the heat resistance class of the insulation system.
It does not mean that the transformer winding should operate continuously at 180℃. Actual operating temperature depends on load conditions, ambient temperature, cooling method, and design limits.
3. Where can SG(B) Series transformers be used?
The transformer is suitable for industrial indoor power distribution applications, including metallurgy, steel, mining, cement, petrochemical, rail transit, marine, and port projects.
High temperature, high altitude, and special environmental conditions should be confirmed during the design stage.
4. Is the open winding structure more sensitive to dust and moisture?
Yes.
The open structure improves cooling performance and maintenance accessibility but requires proper environmental evaluation.
For dusty, humid, corrosive, or condensation-prone environments, suitable protection measures, cleaning schedules, and environmental designs should be considered.
5. What maintenance is required?
Routine maintenance includes:
Cleaning windings and ventilation channels
Checking connections and grounding
Inspecting insulation surfaces and clamping parts
Checking fans and sensors
Reviewing temperature records
Performing electrical inspections according to site requirements
No oil sampling or oil replacement is required.
6. How are high temperature and high altitude projects handled?
High temperature and high altitude conditions affect heat dissipation and insulation coordination.
The design should consider temperature rise, insulation distance, cooling method, ventilation conditions, and other project-specific requirements.
