Overview of the 66kV Oil-Immersed Distribution Transformer

Designed specifically for use as an important connection in electric power transmission and distribution between electrical injection point locations such as industrial parks, mining locations or between urban infrastructure, the 66 kV Oil-Immersed Distribution Transformer is built to handle the unique requirements of medium voltage applications and features a core constructed of high-quality, silicon steel sheets arranged in a multi-stage, ladder-like formation which provides for a negligible amount of no-load loss or operational noise. A corrugated tank that is fully sealed provides improved cooling and increased mechanical strength; the improved yoke structure coupled with the full core-to-tank positioning provides for improved transport stability.

Buyer’s Guide

How This 66kV Oil-Immersed Distribution Transformer Works

Helpful information for EPCs, grid operators, and industrial buyers when selecting a 66kV transformer for use in medium-voltage electrical networks.

Project Applications

Type 1 S(F)11-10000/66 through S(F)11-40000/66 are ideal transformers for dedicated substations to supply continuous transformers for buildouts at large industrial parks establishing their power distribution networks. Type 1 transformers are also perfect for use in mining projects, where their strong short-circuit capabilities can withstand the rapid and unpredictable changes in load experienced during crushing and conveying operations. The reliability of the S(F)11-10000/66 through S(F)11-40000/66 transformers will support the development of critical energy infrastructure, including ports and rail transportation hubs.

Capacity and Voltage Selection

The best way to select rated capacity is to add anticipated demand with an acceptable overload factor to arrive at the least amount of capacity required. For low-voltage applications, standard low-voltage voltage options range from 3.15 kV to 10.5 kV. Be sure to select the low-voltage voltage rating that matches your downstream switchgear. The high-voltage tapping range of ±2 x 2.5% allows flexibility for future adjustments to the grid without de-energizing the transformer.

Installation and Maintenance

Transformers must be installed on an adequately reinforced concrete plinth constructed to provide an oil containment area and adequate clearance away from surrounding buildings and structures. The tank is constructed of sealed corrugated steel requiring little or no oil maintenance beyond routine inspections of bushings, oil levels, and temperature indicators for the life of the transformer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 66kV substation?

A 66kV substation is a medium-voltage facility that steps down 66 kilovolts to lower distribution voltages (e.g., 33kV, 11kV, or 6.6kV) using power transformers. It is commonly found in industrial grids, mining areas, and regional distribution networks.

What is 66kV to 33kV transformer?

A 66kV to 33kV transformer is a step-down unit that reduces 66kV input to 33kV output. Our 66kV range can be configured for such voltages by selecting the appropriate low-voltage winding (e.g., 33kV as a secondary option) — contact us for custom ratios.

What is the price of 66 kVA transformer?

The price of a 66kV transformer depends on capacity (6300kVA to 63000kVA in our range), impedance, and accessories. For an accurate quotation, please provide your technical requirements. As a manufacturer, we offer factory-direct pricing with no middleman markup.

What is kV on a transformer?

kV stands for kilovolt (1 kV = 1000 volts) and indicates the voltage rating of a transformer winding. For example, a 66kV transformer has a primary winding designed to operate at 66,000 volts. The kV rating is critical for matching grid voltage levels and ensuring safe insulation coordination.
