In the world of transformers, Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) dry type transformers stand out as a reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly option. Designed to operate without oil and with exceptional durability, these transformers are used in a wide range of industrial applications. At Varelen Transformers, we pride ourselves on producing cutting-edge VPI transformers tailored to meet the diverse needs of industries like data centers, oil and gas, renewable energy, and more.
VPI dry type transformer is a transformer that uses Vacuum Pressure Impregnation technology to enhance insulation and durability. During the manufacturing process, the windings are coated with polyester varnish and impregnated with epoxy resin under vacuum. The unit is then baked to cure, resulting in robust insulation and excellent thermal properties.
VPI transformers are typically air or water-cooled, eliminating the need for oil-based cooling systems. This makes them safer, cleaner, and better suited for environmentally sensitive or indoor applications. They are available in various configurations to handle different voltage levels and power capacities, making them a versatile choice for a broad range of industries.
VPI dry type transformers offer numerous advantages, including:
Environmentally Friendly: They are free from oil, reducing the risk of leaks and environmental contamination.
Enhanced Safety: The non-flammable 220°C insulation system significantly lowers the risk of fire.
Cost-Effective Installation: No need for oil containment systems reduces initial setup costs.
Durability: The vacuum pressure impregnation process provides robust insulation and resistance to environmental factors.
Efficient Cooling Options: Options for natural and forced air cooling or water cooling ensure optimal performance in various conditions.
Compliance: Adherence to major international standards like IEC, IEEE, and UL ensures quality and reliability.
These benefits make VPI transformers an excellent choice for critical operations where safety, efficiency, and reliability are paramount.
VPI dry type transformers are ideal for applications requiring robust performance, environmental safety, and minimal maintenance. Here are some common scenarios where they excel:
Indoor Installations: Perfect for data centers, commercial buildings, and hospitals where fire safety is a priority.
Harsh Environments: Their durable enclosures protect against dust, moisture, and pollution, making them suitable for mining and heavy industry.
High Power Applications: Direct water cooling options allow them to handle currents exceeding 20kA.
Renewable Energy Projects: They’re commonly used in wind and solar power systems due to their environmental compatibility.
Oil and Gas: Reliable performance in challenging conditions ensures uninterrupted operations.
