Results for tag: "Liquid Immersed Transformers"

In the electrical industry, liquid immersed transformers are a type of transformer where the core and windings are submerged in a cooling liquid, typically oil or a biodegradable fluid, to manage the temperature and insulate the internal components. This technology is crucial to the transmission and distribution of electricity, as it provides enhanced cooling, thus allowing these transformers to be more compact and efficient relative to their air-cooled counterparts. They are widely used across various applications including residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, along with utility-scale power generation and distribution systems. The demand for liquid immersed transformers is driven by the need for efficient energy transmission, the integration of renewable energy sources into power grids, and the modernization of aging electrical infrastructure. Environmental considerations play a role in the development of the market, with an emphasis on reducing the risk of oil spills and selecting less hazardous insulating fluids. Several companies are active in the manufacturing and supply of liquid immersed transformers. Some notable names in the market include ABB (Hitachi ABB Power Grids), Siemens Energy, General Electric (GE), Schneider Electric, Eaton Corporation, CG Power and Industrial Solutions, Toshiba Corporation, and Mitsubishi Electric. These companies specialize in providing a range of liquid immersed transformer solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs of the electricity sector. Show Less Read more
