Single-phase pole mounted transformer

Overview

Pole Mounted Distribution Transformers are used in the Power Grid to step down or step up voltage depending on the specific need.

The unit may be direct-mounted to a wooden or concrete pole, or cluster mounted on a pole for three phase use. The single phase oil-immersed transformers are designed for servicing residential overhead distribution loads. They are also suitable for light commercial loads, industrial lighting and diversified power applications.

Features - CSP type

1. Completely Self-Protected (CSP): CSP transformers are becoming increasingly popular in many applications where reliability and safety are paramount. They are designed with built in protection mechanisms, such as overcurrent, overvoltage, and temperature protection. These integrated safeguards eliminate the need for external protective devices, simplifying installation and operation. By quickly detecting faults, these transformers minimize downtime and reduce maintenance requirements. Which improves the overall reliability of the electrical distribution system.

Features - Conventional type

2. Conventional type: Conventional transformers still have a significant presence and are the most common pole mount design. They are generally more cost-effective compared to CSP transformers since they do not have the built in protections. This makes them suitable for applications where budget constraints are a priority and where additional protective devices can be installed separately. Conventional transformers are commonly found in residential areas, commercial buildings, and less critical infrastructure where the risk of faults is relatively low. Since they do not have the internal arrestors, they are installed where external protective devices are viable. The choice between the two depends on your specific requirements and budgetary considerations.
