The hermetically sealed oil transformers are normally manufactured with a sealed tank equipped with fins that allow the expansion at the temperature variations. The tightness of the tank is up to 0.5 Bar. This type of transformer is the most widely used in the world. In the hermetically sealed transformer, the oil does not come into contact with the air and its electrical properties are therefore not compromised, ensuring a long life span of the transformer. For powers exceeding 3150kVA, or in case of a transformer with radiators, the transformer can still be hermetically sealed by means of a nitrogen cushion.

ContinueThe economic and compact solution for adjusting the grid voltage, optimising the performance of the transformer and reducing losses In most countries in Europe (and around the world), the voltage of the power lines for the distribution of energy varies by more than +/- 10%, no longer guaranteeing the maximum limit as required by EN50160. […]
ContinueThe aim is to reduce losses and gain in efficiency. GBE are ready, thanks to their high ECODESIGN transformers production. The global commitment for energy efficiency and emissions reduction keeps moving on. The newest European Union Legislation 548/2014 sets the new standards about ecodesign, imposing a drastic reduction on losses of new transformers launched on […]
