Three Phase Pad-Mounted Transformer
ME offers a complete line of liquid-filled three-phase pad-mounted distribution transformers that meet applicable IEEE standards. These transformers are specifically designed for commercial and residential applications, such as hotels, hospitals, universities, and others. Our transformers are designed for outdoor installation with cabinets, use aluminum or copper windings, and are optimized to maximize efficiency and footprint.
Key benefits
- Liquid-filled
- Mineral or vegetable oil
- Meets applicable ANSI/IEEE standards
- Ratings: 45 kVA to 5000 kVA, to 34.5 kV, 200 kV BIL
- Up to 4,000 kVA ONAN
Resin Insulated Dry-type Power Transformers
ME’s cast coil transformer is a low-noise, low-loss, cast resin dry-type transformer. The high-voltage winding with copper conductors and the low-voltage winding with either copper conductors or copper sheet are wound and reinforced by glass-fiber and then cast with resin under vacuum.
Key benefits
- 100% relative humidity operation
- Excellent short-circuit
- Cooled naturally by air (AN) and forced air cooling (AF)
- Smaller dimensions, less weight, and space saving
- Customizable designs
- Windings have high mechanical strength and no partial discharge and are non-flammable
- Environmental adaptability
Voltage Regulator
ME’s family of voltage regulators are cost effective, robust solutions to regulate voltage without comprising quality and reliability, providing a total cost of ownership that is nearly 20% better than competing products. The VR-1 regulator is designed to provide utilities with a means to protect themselves and their customer against the detrimental effects of voltage variation. Optimum regulation is achieved by controlling the voltage as close to a predetermined level as practical and is “Designed with the Utility in Mind”. GE’s voltage regulators comply with IEEE® C57.15-2009 and NEMA® 4, and are independently certified by KEMA® that the VR-1 meets the stringent Short-Circuit requirements in the IEEE standard. They can operate up to 2 million mechanical operations, providing years of reliable service without costly maintenance. Additionally, GE is one of the first to incorporate measured reverse power flow capability, which is critical on today’s distribution circuits where distributed generation is present.
