500kV 1200MVA Oil-Immersed Power Transformer
The 1200MVA/500kV power transformer is an extra-high voltage, ultra-capacity oil-immersed auto-transformer designed for backbone grids. Featuring smart OLTC technology and advanced ODAF cooling, it delivers massive power transfer with exceptional reliability, minimal losses, and maximum network stability for mega substations and power plants.
Description
Product Advantages
• Gigantic Capacity for EHV Transmission:
◦ Features a massive 1200 MVA rated capacity and a 500 kV EHV design.
◦ Tailor-made for inter-regional backbone grids and massive clean energy bases (such as gigawatt-scale nuclear and hydroelectric plants), effectively resolving bottlenecks in high-capacity, long-distance power transmission.
• High-Efficiency Auto-Transformer Design:
◦ Utilizes an autotransformer three-winding configuration, significantly optimizing energy conversion efficiency between the 500 kV and medium-voltage grid levels.
◦ Compared to conventional transformers of the same capacity, it drastically reduces the consumption of copper wire and silicon steel sheets, effectively lowering both total manufacturing costs and transportation weight.
• Ultra-Low Losses & Optimized Thermal Management:
◦ The core employs world-class high-permeability, low-loss cold-rolled grain-oriented silicon steel combined with advanced multi-stage step-lap joint technology to minimize no-load losses.
◦ Features a fully directed oil-forced air-cooled (ODAF) system, ensuring uniform temperature rise within windings and the core—and preventing localized overheating—during 100% full-load operation or sudden overloads.
• Superior Short-Circuit Withstand Capability:
◦ Engineered to withstand the immense mechanical and electromagnetic forces inherent to the 1200 MVA class; the structure incorporates high-strength internal supports, robust fasteners, and advanced mechanical clamping processes to ensure equipment integrity during sudden grid faults.
• Smart OLTC & Online Monitoring:
◦ Equipped with a high-end vacuum On-Load Tap Changer (OLTC) for smooth, stepless voltage regulation without interrupting the power supply.
◦ Supports integration with intelligent online monitoring systems for partial discharge (PD) and dissolved gas analysis (DGA), enabling full-lifecycle condition-based alerts and maintenance-free operation.
