Problems with Dry Type Transformers on cold loading in backup power situations
Problems with Dry Type Transformers on cold loading in backup power situations
(OP)
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering about experience using dry type TX where they are used as step up units as part of the generator backup scheme - here you will have the plant load immediately present on the TX's once the generators have started, and they take the full plant load from cold.
I recall reading that cold loading to rated capacity can lead to tracking / cracks in the resin, and early TX failure
Anyone had any experience or got a view on this one?
Thanks
