FAQ

How do I choose the right transformer for my project?

To select a suitable transformer, key information such as rated capacity, primary and secondary voltage, frequency, installation environment, and local grid requirements is required.
If technical details are not fully defined, selection can be based on the application and operating conditions.

Oil-immersed transformers provide better heat dissipation and overload capability, making them suitable for outdoor and industrial applications.
Dry-type transformers are safer for indoor use, require less maintenance, and are commonly used in commercial buildings and data centers.

Yes. The transformers are designed for continuous 24/7 operation at rated load under normal operating conditions, making them suitable for critical power applications.

Transformers are available for low, medium, and high voltage applications.
Typical voltage levels include 400V, 690V, 6kV, 10kV, 11kV, 22kV, and 33kV, with various capacity options depending on project requirements.

Which international standards do the products comply with?

Products are designed and manufactured in accordance with international standards such as IEC, IEEE, and ANSI, and can be customized to meet local grid standards.

Yes. The equipment is suitable for data centers and AI facilities, where stable power supply, continuous operation, and high reliability are required.

Yes. Designs can be adapted for high temperature and high humidity environments through appropriate insulation, cooling, and protection measures.

Production lead time depends on the product type and level of customization.
Standard models usually have shorter lead times, while customized solutions require additional manufacturing time.
