5. FAQ
5.1 What is the difference and selection basis between 315kVA and 400kVA 11/0.4kV oil immersed transformers?
Both models adopt the same 11kV/0.4kV voltage ratio, oil immersed sealing structure and energy-saving manufacturing process, with consistent safety performance and service life. The core difference lies in rated load capacity and application margin. The 315kVA three-phase power transformer is suitable for scenarios with stable and fixed medium load, such as mature residential communities and fixed small workshops, with higher cost performance. The 400kVA specification has a 25% higher load margin, making it more suitable for sites with obvious peak load fluctuation and future power expansion demand, including new industrial parks and expanding commercial districts. Users can select the model according to current actual load and 3–5 years of power growth plans.
5.2 Why are 11/0.4kV oil immersed transformers still widely used compared with dry-type transformers?
In conventional outdoor power grid and industrial medium-load scenarios, three-phase oil immersed transformers have irreplaceable practical advantages. The oil circulation cooling system has larger heat capacity and stronger overload tolerance, which can cope with long-term outdoor high-temperature operation and sudden load surge better than air-cooled dry-type transformers. In addition, 315kVA and 400kVA oil immersed distribution transformers have lower manufacturing cost, simpler daily maintenance and longer service life. Dry-type transformers are only limited to indoor fire-proof occasions, while oil type models support pole-mounted and outdoor open-air installation with wider environmental adaptability, which is more in line with the needs of municipal and rural power grid construction.
5.3 How to maintain the 11/0.4kV 315kVA/400kVA oil immersed transformer in daily operation?
This fully sealed three-phase oil immersed power transformer belongs to low-maintenance power equipment with simple daily management. Daily inspection only requires regular visual checks for oil tank leakage, shell corrosion and loose terminal connections, and monitoring operating noise and oil temperature for abnormalities. It is necessary to clean radiator surface dust regularly to ensure unobstructed heat dissipation. Thanks to the fully sealed structure, internal insulating oil is isolated from outside air, so there is no need for annual oil replacement. Professional oil quality testing and partial discharge inspection can be conducted every 6–8 years. Standard simple maintenance can effectively avoid operational faults and extend the overall service life of the equipment.
