Description

Description

The TrafoELETTRO® special electrical distribution range for the French market called ECOTRAFO-SP™ consists of around twenty standardised and normalised references up to 25 MVA for special electrical distribution applications in buildings.

 

The advantages of Trafo ELETTRO® ‘s coated dry-type electrical transformers from the ECOTRAFO-SP™ range are mainly linked to the quality of the materials used and the factory know-how of our teams. Our TrafoELETTRO coated dry-type transformers are reputed to be among the most reliable on the market with an extremely low MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures).

 

To sum up, the ECOTRAFO-SP™ range of 20/0.41 kV encapsulated dry-type transformers is designed and manufactured along 3 axes of technical excellence for an optimum compromise between price and the proven technical design of the power distribution market.

 

TrafoELETTRO’s ECOTRAFO-SP™ HV/LV dry-type transformers are certified and compliant with the following classes:

  • Environmental class E3:

Can be used in environments subject to heavy condensation (95% humidity) and heavy pollution. French national standard. On request, we can produce a class E4 “extremely polluted area”.

  • Climatic class C2:

Suitable for operation, transport, and storage down to -25°C, ensuring the same level of performance even at low temperatures. French national standard. On request, we can produce C3 (Transport and storage at -40°C and operation at -50°C), C4 (The transformer is suitable for transport and storage at -50°C and operation at -40°C) or C5 (Transport and storage at -60°C and operation at -50°C).

  • Fire behaviour class F1:

Self-extinguishing and low smoke emission in the event of fire, reduced risk of fire thanks to our resin’s low self-ignition properties.

 

Improved shock resistance:

Our transformers are designed, tested, and manufactured with a reinforced insulation class (improved shock resistance, BIL LIST 2), thanks to optimised insulation in sensitive areas of the device. We can quote for BIL1 on request.

 

Extended transformer life:

Thanks to the quality of the resin and the moulding and impregnation process, our transformers have a level of partial discharge on leaving the factory that exceeds the normative requirements of 10 Pc, with a measured level of less than 5 Pc.

 

Finally, the TrafoElettro® ECOTRAFO-SP™ Range of special dry-type transformers is produced at standardised power ratings, so you benefit from the actual power mentioned without any power derating. In addition, the weight of our equipment is a good indicator of respected power and respected design and insulation safety coefficients.

 

This is why our TrafoELETTRO ECOTRAFO-SP™ electric transformers come with a 2-year warranty subject to the TrafoELETTRO special sales conditions.

Maintenance:

Periodic maintenance of the transformer will maintain high efficiency over time and extend its service life.

  • Cleaning dust, dirt deposits and foreign bodies from windings and cores
  • Checking the tightening torques of components and medium and low voltage connections, including earthing.
  • Checking the operation of the thermometric control unit and probes

All TrafoELETTRO® equipment is produced in Italy, and the raw materials used are mainly European in origin, to limit transport emissions, and as far as possible from recycled products.

 

All our TrafoELETTRO® transformers in the ECOTRAFO-SP™ range are designed according to an eco-design approach applicable from 1 July 2021 (European regulation 548/2014/EU) with a maximum no-load loss of -10% of A0 (standard 50708-2-1) to limit the use of raw materials.

 

European Directive 2009/125/EC establishes a framework for setting ecodesign requirements for energy-related products. It is part of the European objectives to reduce energy consumption and cut CO2 emissions. European Commission Regulation No 548/2014 of 21 May 2014 defines the application of the directive for transformers. It applies to appliances ordered from 1 July 2015. It defines 2 energy performance tiers: Tier 1 applicable from 1 July 2015 and Tier 2 applicable from 1 July 2021.

Standard EN 50629 defines the rules for applying and checking this directive for high-power transformers (Um > 36 kV or Sr ≥ 40 MVA). These regulations apply to all new transformers installed in the European Community.

The transformer manufacturer is responsible for complying with the law and designing a transformer that meets the energy efficiency criteria defined by the European Commission regulation. The application of the regulation does not provide for any tolerance in terms of meeting the PEI criterion. If the minimum requirement is exceeded, the transformer will be banned from the market.

 

Requirements for product information: Compliance with the regulation and the CE mark requires that the product documentation and the nameplate on the appliance show at least the following information:

  • Nominal apparent power,
  • Value of the energy efficiency index (PEI) and the power (SPEI) at which it is achieved,
  • Load and no-load losses,
  • Consumption of the cooling system to remove calories at SPEI,
  • Indication of the mass and nature of the transformer’s main components (copper, magnetic sheet, etc.)

Note: In the case of double-voltage transformers on the low-voltage side, losses are calculated based on the highest low-voltage of the low-voltage winding.
