There are two types of transformers: submerged, also called oil transformers, and dry transformers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The oil-filled transformer is used for medium and high voltage in power grids. The dry-type transformer, on the other hand, is used for medium and low voltage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dry transformer is a device that does not require oil cooling or insulation, unlike submerged transformers, which are commonly found in public lighting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry transformers use air for cooling and insulation. The main function of a dry transformer is the same as that of an oil-filled transformer, which is to adapt voltage levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry-type transformers have different applications, being most commonly used in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oil Rigs, Industries, Hospitals, Data Centers, Airports, Control Centers, Mining, Commercial Buildings, Steel Mills, Theaters, Cinemas, Concert Halls, Sports Arenas, and Shopping Malls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main benefit is the reduction in maintenance costs, as we will see in detail below.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Check out the advantages of the dry transformer:<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The oil-filled transformer is less safe than the dry-type transformer because the oil used is highly flammable.<\/span><\/span>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dry transformer can be installed inside a company, close to the machines. The oil transformer, due to risks, must be at a safe distance.<\/span><\/span>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining an oil-filled transformer is more costly than maintaining a dry-type transformer.<\/span><\/span>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry-type transformers also eliminate expenses for other items such as explosion-proof walls, fire doors, drains for collecting insulating liquid, and containment barriers.<\/span><\/span>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dry type transformer is an environmentally superior product to the oil-filled one, as there is no risk of leaks and damage to the environment.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transformers from Transformadores Uni\u00e3o are built with high technology and a high-quality process, following all the requirements and determinations of technical standards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you understand the main advantages of a dry transformer, how about getting to know our line of Dry Transformers.
