TECHNICAL INFORMATION – ACCESSORIES AND MONITORING

In addition to the basic components of a transformer – such as

the iron core, HV and LV winding and the mechanical frame –
additional cast-resin transformer equipment is usually needed
for integrating the transformer in the particular electrical sys-
tem.

We offer the following optional equipment: Protective enclo-

sures, transformer monitoring units, vibration dampers, fixed
ball points for connecting an earthing and short-circuiting de-
vice, as well as cross-flow fans.

Protective enclosures for cast-resin transformers

The technical concept of the protective enclosure allows decen-
tral installation of the transformers directly at the load centres Enclosure

ronmental influences and to protect operating personnel from The enclosure is made of self-supporting sheet steel compo-
