    Key Technical Features

    These distribution transformers adopt graded core designs — standard silicon steel, high-grade silicon steel and amorphous alloy — cutting no-load loss by up to 60%, paired with high-purity copper windings and a fully sealed corrugated tank that passes 100% helium leak testing for dependable outdoor service.

    They are engineered with standard Dyn11 vector grouping, voltage-matched short-circuit impedance and 1.2× rated load capacity for 2 hours, delivering stable electrical performance for both grid and industrial applications.

    Suitable for -25℃ to +40℃ environments and altitudes up to 1000m, they run on maintenance-free ONAN natural cooling with strong environmental adaptability.
