Parts Of Pad-Mounted Single-Phase Distribution Transformers
Single-phase pad mounted distribution transformers are used in underground distribution systems where it is preferable to have underground rather than overhead distribution. An example of a single-phase, pad mounted distribution transformer with its cover raised is shown in below.
Single-phase, pad-mounted transformers are manufactured with ratings from 10 to 167 kVA. All of these distribution transformers are oil-insulated, self-cooled, and made with loop or radial feed. They can meet or exceed ANSI and NEMA standards.
Pad-mounted distribution transformers are enclosed in steel tamper-resistant protective cases designed with low profiles. They are usually painted green to blend in
Submersible single-phase distribution transformers
Single-phase submersible underground transformers are enclosed in round vertical stainless steel tanks that are hermetically sealed for protection against repeated flooding and/or immersion. The terminals, ground pads, and nameplates are mounted on the covers for easy access from ground level.
These transformers are made in ratings of 25 to 167 kVA. Where submersible transformers are to be installed in a trench that is not subject to repeated flooding or immersion, they are enclosed in stainless steel tanks. Their terminals, ground pads, and nameplates are mounted on their covers.
