Product catalog summary
Introduction to Cast Resin Transformers
Cast resin transformers are advantageous due to their non-flammable, self-extinguishing properties, eliminating the need for liquid coolants and offering flexible installation options. They are known for high performance and overload capabilities.
Advantages of SGB Cast Resin Transformers
SGB offers transformers with capacities up to 25 MVA and voltages up to 36 kV, known for high quality and reliability. Features include high impulse voltage control, thermal withstand capability, and long service life.
Technical Features
  • High Voltage Winding: Double layer winding with glass fiber reinforcement ensures safety under high impulse voltages and temperature shocks.
  • Core Design: Made from high-quality materials to minimize losses and noise, with corrosion protection coating.
  • Low Voltage Winding: Full-length foil winding reduces losses and ensures even temperature distribution.
Quality and Standards
SGB adheres to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards, meeting fire, environmental, and climatic class standards, approved by various classification societies.
Testing and Certification
Transformers undergo rigorous testing per IEC 60076-11, including short circuit and temperature rise tests, certified for various conditions.
Overload Capacity
Overloading is managed by a temperature monitoring system, ensuring a service life of over 20 years. IEC standards require class F insulation to withstand 180°C temporarily. A diagram shows a 1,000 kVA transformer handling a 130% overload for 19 minutes at 20°C coolant temperature.
Noise Reduction
SGB transformers are designed to reduce noise using mitred joints in the "step lap" process, measured according to European Standards 60551.
References and Applications
Transformers are used in industrial networks, large buildings, substations, water protection areas, power generation, infrastructure, and R&D.
Installation Conditions
Minimal site demands with reduced groundwater protection and fire prevention requirements. Indoor use only with IP00 ingress protection.
Transformer Options
Enclosures with IP23 for indoor and IP33 for outdoor installations. Fans can increase capacity by up to 40%.
Accessories and Monitoring
Includes core, windings, frame, and monitoring systems. Temperature monitoring uses PTC sensors with two thresholds for protection.

Cast resin transformers -2

So why Cast Resin Transformers? The advantages speak for themselves: Minimal fire risk: Cast resin moulding material is not very flammable and can be self-extinguishing. There are no special fire prevention coatings, with associated fire conditions, the calorific potential of the cast resin transformer is minimal and there are no dangerous fire gases capable of long-term damage. No coolants: Cast resin transformers only need air for cooling. Liquid coolants - of whichever chemical type - cannot be released into the environment. There is therefore nonrequirement for bunding a cast resin transformer,...

K e s U ResinQualitybySGB High voltage winding The high voltage winding is the centrepiece of the cast resin transformer. Herein lies SGB's great technical know-how. Core and low voltage winding are also important for the overall design, as all components are naturally interdependent. One of the characteristics of cast resin transformers is that the conductors of the high voltage winding are completely encapsulated in a cast resin body with a smooth surface. This can only be carried out in moulded formers under vacuum. SGB's production technology and materials used can also be distinguished through...

Rjeserves-equipped Thermal loads make overload possible SGB Cast Resin Transformers not only have an advantage over oil transformers but also cast resin transformers incorporating established alternative designs. These use a high voltage winding design where the conductor consists of aluminium foil strip and the coil/layer insulation is plastic. The insulation level of this type of system can only be considered as class F, when considering the insulation system as a whole. It is quite different with SGB Cast Resin Transformers as SGB uses insulated profile wires for a double layer winding where...

K e s U ResinQualitybySGB S|urge-proof High impulse voltages are controlled safely Only SGB Cast Resin Transformers mould their high voltage coils in vacuum combined with a double layer winding. This ensures safety in the control of impulse voltages brought about by, for example, lightning strikes or vacuum switches. Regular coil winding of other transformers leads to much greater voltage stress, especially on the input coils, because 70% of the shock impact does not apply on the first 30% of the coils. The risk of winding short circuits therefore increases significantly. Օ The SGB double layer...

Q|uantum-leap Overcome temperature shocks reliably Cast resin transformers are subject to great mechanical and thermal shocks and strains in their transport and in particular when operated. Therefore of great importance is the ability of the transformer to safely control spasmodic temperature increases. A decisive factor in this feature is the construction of the cast resin composite material, into which the conductors are moulded. This depends especially upon the tensile stress and the thermal coefficients of expansion of the composite material in relation to the winding material. With many...

K e s U ResinQualitybySGB Core With the calculation of cores for cast resin transformers, no-load losses, noises and no-load currents are quite considerable and in many cases, crucial quality features. As a result, the choice of high-quality materials for core design and manufacture is vital. For SGB Cast Resin Transformers a cold-rolled, grain-oriented magnetic plate is used and has a typical loss factor of 0.85 W/kg. In most cases of application, values according to the requirements for no-load losses and noises can be reached. For spcial requests a so-called Hi-B plate is used with which the...

Low voltage winding SGB Cast Resin Transformers' low voltage winding is almost always used as a full length foil winding. The advantages of this form of winding are vident: R镩duction of additional losses Even temperature distribution in the coil Օ High short circuit consistency Exceptions exist if the LV winding is rated as less than 160 kVA or has a voltage rating of over 3 kV. For more than 40 years SGB has been producing foil windings for distribution transformers and cast resin transformers. This long expertise is the reason for high quality features such as: SGB uses treated material...
