Product Description:2TFB100031R1001

• Power Rating:
  The transformer would typically have a 1 MVA (1000 kVA) power rating, making it suitable for medium to large-scale applications, such as small factories, commercial buildings, substations, and renewable energy plants.

• Cooling Method:
  It is likely that the transformer uses an oil-filled design, with cooling options such as ONAN (Oil Natural Air Natural), which is a typical configuration for medium and low-voltage distribution transformers. More advanced cooling methods such as OFAF (Oil Forced Air Forced) may also be available for enhanced cooling in high-demand applications.

• Voltage Ratings:
  The primary and secondary voltage ratings would depend on the application and the geographic region, but typical values could be:

  • Primary Voltage: 11 kV, 33 kV, 13.8 kV, or other common medium-voltage levels.
  • Secondary Voltage: 400V, 480V, or other low-voltage configurations suitable for industrial or commercial use.

• Insulation Type:
  Oil-based insulation is commonly used for ABB distribution transformers. The oil not only provides electrical insulation but also helps with cooling. The insulating oil is typically mineral-based or biodegradable oils (for environmentally friendly designs).

• Winding Configuration:

  • Primary: Often a Delta (Δ) or Star (Y) configuration, depending on the design specifications.
  • Secondary: A Star (Y) configuration is common for distributing low-voltage power.

• Safety and Protection Features:

  • Buchholz relay: A gas-sensing relay to detect internal faults.
  • Overload protection: Protects against overload conditions, preventing damage.
  • Temperature sensors: Monitors the temperature of the transformer to prevent overheating.
  • Pressure relief valve: Protects against excessive internal pressure from fault conditions.

• Efficiency and Losses:
  ABB transformers are designed to operate with high efficiency, minimizing losses under normal load conditions. Expect a low-loss core design to reduce operational costs over the life of the transformer.

• Noise Levels:
  ABB often designs transformers with noise reduction features. The transformer would likely meet noise standards suitable for urban and industrial environments.

• Protection Class (IP Rating):
  The transformer may come with different IP (Ingress Protection) ratings based on the installation environment. For outdoor installations, an IP54 or IP65 rating might be common to protect against dust and water ingress.

• Environmental Considerations:

  • If intended for outdoor use or in harsh environments, the transformer would be housed in a weatherproof, corrosion-resistant enclosure to withstand temperature extremes, moisture, and exposure to harsh conditions.
  • Eco-friendly options: ABB may offer transformers with biodegradable insulating fluids to minimize environmental impact.
