Encapsulated Transformers

Your AC Transformers FAQ

Encapsulated Transformers are simply transformers in which one or more of the transformer's  components are completely sealed.Encapsulated Transformers  One example of a component is the transformer's coils.  This process of encapsulation protects the transformer from dirt, dust, moisture, and any other  contaminants. 

Encapsulated Transformers are designed and engineered to be protected from the most hostile environments while offering the benefit of running cooler than a comparable non-encapsulated transformer.  Usually carrying a rating of NEMA 4, encapsulated transformers are found in many industrial and commercial applications such as in the marine industry, steel mills, and processing plants of many kinds. 

Encapsulated Transformers are available in a variety of types, one of which is the epoxy encapsulated transformer.  The epoxy is usually comprised of a sand resin and silica which forms into a material which is perfectly suited for protecting and enclosing the transformer’s components.  The epoxy also serves to reduce operational noise significantly.  Other benefits of Encapsulated Transformers include the followingEncapsulated Transformers:

  • Able to withstand the harshest environmental conditions with a tough, sealed, waterproof encasement.

  • High thermal conductivity.

  • Dissipates heat away from the core and windings.

  • Outstanding performance in environments with high ambient temperatures.

  • Extremely reliable electrical insulation.

  • Reduction of corona possibility in high surge situations.

  • Stringent testing of 4,000 hi-pot between primary and secondary windings.
