Question:

Can dry transformers and distribution cabinets be placed in the same room?

Can dry transformers and distribution cabinets be placed in the same room?

Answer:

Dry transformers and power distribution cabinets can be placed in the same room. Oil-immersed insulation with insulating oil, dry type with resin insulation, dry-type safety is better than oil-immersed transformers. In the event of a fire or explosion, oil-immersed insulating oil may increase the risk of accidents, so need to be set separately, and the transformer base should have oil leakage design. And dry type change will not have such a danger, it can and power distribution cabinet set in a room, while dry-type transformers and distribution cabinets in the same room easy to overlap, busbar and cable consumption on the reduction, operation and maintenance More convenient, articulated ground and check the power outage when the glance.
Yes. Dry-type transformers are usually placed in the room with a shell, low-voltage cabinet is with the dry-type transformers together. The general practice is to flush the cabinet. And then connect the transformer with the low voltage cabinet directly in the cabinet to go. Outside can not see the connection of copper.
But do not recommend dry-type transformers and distribution cabinets in emissions The reasons are as follows: Transformer operating procedures and low-voltage distribution cabinet operating procedures are not the same. This arrangement is not conducive to operational management. If it is civil engineering, housing area is relatively tight, you can use this approach. For industrial projects, especially sewage treatment plants and other municipal projects, the new construction of the land is still relatively well, there is no need and together. Transformers high noise, high heat dissipation, and low-voltage distribution cabinet together, to consider air conditioning and ventilation and other factors. Nor energy saving.
