Oil Transformers


Oil Transformers

Full power under
all conditions.

Our oil-immersed transformers comply with international standards and where applicable, technical customer requirements. They are available in hermetically sealed versions, as transformers with expansion tanks, with or without distribution systems and as medium and high-power transformers.

Oil Transformer Types

  • Distribution Transformers
  • Transformers for Solar and Wind Parks
  • Earthing Transformers
  • Autotransformers
  • Dual Voltage Transformers
  • Rectifier Transformers
  • Shunt Reactors
  • Traction Transformers

In Sealed Design

Hermetic Transformers

6.3 MVA
Megavoltamperes

Hermetic oil transformers are made with a power of 6.3 MVA and a network voltage of up to 36 kV. Three-phase, oil-cooled standard transformers (ONAN) are available with internal (plug-in type) or external porcelain insulators.

Special load-free tap changers and other cooling systems such as ONAF, OOAF, etc. can also be installed on customer request.

Hermetic transformers have no expansion tank and are completely filled with oil. The hermetic seal protects against atmospheric influences and is factory-adjusted. The elastic boiler tank with its corrugated walls controls the thermal expansion of the oil.

The oil in hermetic transformers does not come into contact with air, so there is no risk of absorbing air or moisture. Hermetic transformers are particularly suitable for small spaces or placement in compact transformer stations, and are fundamentally maintenance-free.

Application Areas

  • MV/LV Transformer Stations
  • Factories
  • Construction Sites
  • Urban Distribution Systems (Pole or Box)
  • Irrigation Projects
  • Industrial Zones
  • Power Plants

Our hermetic oil transformers are specially designed to ensure maximum operational efficiency and outstanding performance.

Oil Transformer with Expansion Tank

20 MVA
Megavoltamperes

Oil transformers with expansion tanks are made with a power of 20 MVA and a network voltage of up to 36 kV. Three-phase oil-cooled standard transformers (ONAN) are available with internal (plug-in type) or external porcelain insulators.

On customer request, special load-free tap changers and other cooling systems such as ONAF, OOAF, etc. can also be installed.

In oil transformers with expansion tanks, the oil is constantly in contact with the surrounding air. Therefore, regular maintenance is important.

Application Areas

  • Factories
  • MV/LV Transformer Stations
  • Urban Distribution Systems
  • Industrial Zones
  • Power Plants

Our commitment to quality ensures that each transformer meets the highest international standards for durability and performance.

For High-Voltage Networks

Power Transformers

400 MVA
Megavoltamperes
330 kV Class
max. Rated Voltage

Power oil transformers are manufactured according to international standards such as IEC, IEEE, etc., according to customer requirements. They have a power range from 5 MVA to 400 MVA and mains voltages up to 330 kV.

Single-phase and three-phase transformers are available as customised products with ONAN, ONAF or ODAF cooling and with or without load tap changers.

These oil-filled transformers are designed to withstand extreme operating conditions, which is ideal for use in power stations, substations and large industrial plants.
