Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional dry-type amorphous alloy transformers suffer from higher noise levels and weaker short-circuit withstanding ability due to their thin thickness, mechanical stress sensitivity, low saturation magnetic flux density, and rectangular winding structure.

Innovation Solution

A resin-molded stereo wound-core dry-type amorphous alloy transformer design featuring a core with semi-circular or semi-regular-polygonal single frames forming circular core pillars, with high-voltage and low-voltage windings arranged on these pillars and encapsulated in epoxy resin, and a clamp system that includes padding blocks to distribute force evenly and enhance mechanical strength.
