Distribution transformers are important components of substations, and oil-immersed transformers are generally installed in separate transformer rooms.
They rely on oil as the cooling medium, such as oil-immersed natural cooling, oil-immersed forced air cooling, oil-immersed water cooling, and forced oil circulation. The main transformers of booster stations are generally oil-immersed, with a transformation ratio of 20KV/500KV or 20KV/220KV. The service transformers used in power plants to drive their own loads (such as coal mills, induced draft fans, forced draft fans, circulating water pumps, etc.) are also oil-immersed transformers, with a transformation ratio of 20KV/6KV.
Oil-immersed transformers adopt a fully oil-filled sealed type. The corrugated oil tank shell adapts to oil expansion with its own elasticity, making it a permanently sealed oil tank. Oil-immersed transformers have been widely used in various power distribution equipment.
