A number of industry applications require Specific Industrial Transformers due to the usage of power (current) as a major resource for production. Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF), Ladle Furnaces (LF) and high-current Rectifier and Converter Transformers need a specific design to supply the necessary power at a low voltage level. These transformer types (EAF Transformers and Ladle Furnace Transformers), as well as converter transformers for large drive applications are called special-purpose or Industry Transformers, whose design is tailor-made for high-current solutions for industry applications.
Regulating transformers in front of EAF as well as Rectifier transformers supplied by Xiecheng are designed for continuous and interrupted load. Short time load could reduce the size of the transformer. A higher number of switches on of the transformer, above the defined acc. IEC (more than 24 times per year) could be considered in the design for transformers used in the environment of industrial applications.
By using only highest available quality of materials for the core and winding, a reduction of losses has been achieved. For the end-user this means that with lower losses, there is more energy to sell, which makes the payback time of the investment shorter. The lifetime of the transformer is also extended.
This category includes liquid-filled and dry-type transformers for other applications not mentioned, like variable speed drives, furnace transformers, rectifiers, traction transformers, subsea transformers and mobile transformers.
