The Difference Between European and American Style Transformer Substations
Application: American box type transformer is suitable for the electricity consumption of multi-story residential buildings and other unimportant buildings with relatively low power supply requirements.
Based on our actual usage, the American style box transformer with a small ring network switch station is suitable for the power supply needs of multi-story residential buildings.
Because the box type substation has malfunctioned, the impact on residents is not significant, but it is not suitable for small and high-rise buildings.
Characteristics of European Box Transformer
Advantages: The radiation is lower than that of American box transformers because the transformers of European box transformers are placed inside a metal box to provide shielding; Distribution automation can be set up.
Disadvantages: Large size, not conducive to installation, and has a certain impact on the environmental layout of the community;
Application: The European box transformer is suitable for multi story residential buildings, small high-rise buildings, high-rise buildings, and other important structures.
The main differences between American and European changes are:
Meibian: High voltage protection consists of plug-in fuses, backup fuses, and load switches.
European transformer: High voltage protection is selected based on the frequency of load switching, consisting of compressed air, vacuum, and SF6 load switches+fuses; More flexible capacity.
The major difference between American and European transformers lies in the high-voltage section. American transformers have only two high-voltage wiring methods: ring network (dual power supply) or terminal power supply. And the European transformer consists of independent high-voltage units, which can be customized according to customer requirements. Due to the independence of each functional unit, Euro Transformer can customize each unit (high voltage, transformer, low voltage) according to user requirements. Due to high voltage limitations and its small size, Meibian's functionality is far less flexible than Oubian's. But it's much cheaper than Europe.
