Description
Earthing transformers are specially designed transformers. Their core function is to provide an artificial neutral point for power grids where the neutral point is either ungrounded or grounded through high impedance. This enables the neutral point to be grounded via an arc suppression coil or a small resistor.
The oil-immersed, high-voltage bushing side-mounted type grounding transformer (commonly referred to in the industry as the "high-voltage side-mounted grounding transformer") is a specialized variant. As the name implies, the high-voltage bushings (i.e., the terminals of the high-voltage winding) of this type of transformer adopt a side-mounted design, positioned on the side of the transformer tank rather than on the top.
This structural design significantly reduces the overall installation height of the equipment, making it particularly suitable for space-constrained installations, such as indoor GIS (Gas-Insulated Switchgear) rooms, compact substations, and retrofit projects in existing substations.
Features
Space Optimization: The side-exit bushings significantly reduce the overall equipment height, enabling easy adaptation to low-clearance spaces or retrofit requirements in existing substations, saving civil engineering costs.
Flexible Grounding: Provides a stable neutral point, allowing flexible connection to a resistor cabinet / arc suppression coil. This effectively limits ground fault current, suppresses overvoltages, and enhances system safety and power supply continuity.
High Reliability:
Impact Resistance: Designed to withstand the impact of unbalanced currents and zero-sequence currents generated by system single-phase-to-ground faults.
Low Losses: Employs high-quality silicon steel cores and advanced manufacturing processes to ensure low no-load and load losses.
Robust Insulation: Features a reliable high-voltage insulation structure with low partial discharge levels.
Excellent Protection: High enclosure protection rating (IP), providing effective dust and moisture resistance.Simplified Installation & Maintenance: Compact structure combined with the side-exit wiring design optimizes both on-site installation and subsequent maintenance operations.

Why Regular Transformer Maintenance Matters: 5 Serious Consequences of Neglecting ItI. Allowable TemperatureWhen a transformer is in operation, its windings and iron core generate copper loss and iron loss. These losses are converted into heat energy, causing the temperature of the transformer's iron core and windings to rise. If the temperature exceeds the allowable value for a long time, the insulation will gradually lose its mechanical elasticity and age.The temperature of each part of the transformer during operation is different: the winding temperature is the highest, folRockwell09/12/2025 -
How to Implement Condition-Based Maintenance for Power Transformers? A Complete 4-Step Process Analysis1. Definition of Condition-Based MaintenanceCondition-based maintenance refers to a maintenance method where decisions on whether and how to perform maintenance are determined based on the real-time operating status and health condition of equipment. It has no fixed maintenance methods or schedules. The prerequisite for condition-based maintenance is the establishment of equipment parameters and the comprehensive analysis of various operational information of the equipment, so as to make reasonaNoah09/12/2025 -

High harmonics? Your transformer may be overheating and aging fast.This report is based on the analysis of one-day power quality monitoring data of your company's distribution system. The data shows that there is significant three-phase current harmonic distortion in the system (with a high total harmonic distortion of current, THDi). In accordance with international standards (IEC/IEEE), harmonic currents at this level have posed substantial risks to the safe, reliable, and economical operation of the power supply transformer, mainly manifested in additional hLeon09/12/2025 -
Ultimate Guide to AC Contactor Abnormal Noise: From Electromagnetic Noise to Mechanical Vibration, Accurate Diagnosis and HandlingIn electrical control systems, AC contactors are among the commonly used electrical components, and they are also a common source of various electrical faults. After long-term use—especially in harsh environments with high levels of dust—AC contactors may sometimes emit squeaking or rattling noises after being pulled in and held.
