Municipal Substation Transformers from Pacific Crest Transformer deliver utility-grade, liquid-filled performance: 5-15 MVA, disk-wound coils, cruciform miter-cut cores, 360-degree cooling ducts, improved short-circuit resilience, better cooling, and lower total cost of ownership.

 

Breaking Down the Details

Liquid-filled 5-15 MVA transformers for municipal substations, built for reliability, efficient cooling, and less cost.

  • Rated 5-15 MVA for municipal and utility substations
  • Disk-wound coils and cruciform miter-cut core construction
  • 360-degree cooling ducts contact every winding turn with fluid

 

Pacific Crest Transformers will launch its new line of rugged small power transformers for the utility market at the 2010 Northwest Power Association’s Engineering & Operations Conference & Tradeshow.

 

The show runs from March 29 to April 2 in Tacoma, Washington, where Puget Sound Energy continues to shape regional power markets.

The new line of small power transformers is customized especially for use in municipal power substation transformers, reflecting transformer market growth across utilities.

The utility-focused smaller power transformers are rated from 5 to 15 megavolt-amperes (MVA) of power. They are ruggedly built, using disk-wound coils with cruciform miter-cut cores and proprietary 360-degree cooling ducts, as companies like Waukesha expand manufacturing capacity to meet demand.

According to Tom Steeber, Pacific Crest Transformer’s vice president of marketing and sales, “The new line of small power transformers stands up to the extreme duty expected of a substation, complementing how utilities invest in peaking units to safeguard supply, where reliability makes the difference between a neighborhood that has power and one in the dark.” He added, “With our design, each and every turn in the windings are directly in contact with the insulating fluid, improving the transformer’s cooling characteristics, reliability and reducing its total cost of ownership.”
