Suitable for high-voltage dry-type transformer applications.
A range of high efficiency transformers.
The Legrand Green T.HE transformers fully comply with the new eco-compatible design rules and guarantee a significant reduction in energy consumption, thus promoting significant economic savings and the reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
Partial discharges are microscopic phenomena occurring inside insulating resin cavities and are a factor in the speeding up of the ageing process of a transformer. Therefore, it is important that the values of such currents are limited. According to the product standard regarding the design of resin transformers (IEC 60076-11), all windings with a voltage of ≥ 3.6 kV are subject to the measure of partial discharges and the value measured should not exceed 10 pC (picocoulomb). When the Green T.HE transformers were subjected to the measurement of partial discharges, the values detected were always below 5 pC, significantly better than required by the standard.
A low value of partial discharges represents the index of some positive factors, such as:
It is clearly evident that a lower level of partial discharge leads to a higher resistance to work stresses and consequently to a higher life expectancy of the transformer under examination.
