Pad Mounted ZGD Series Single Phase Oil Immersed Transformer
Overview
Pad Mounted ZGD Series Single Phase Oil Immersed Transformer is a ground-mounted single-phase distribution transformer designed for medium-voltage power distribution systems. It is mainly used to step down medium-voltage electricity from utility distribution lines to low-voltage power for residential communities, commercial facilities, public utilities, light industrial loads, rural distribution networks, and outdoor electrical service points.
Unlike overhead pole-mounted transformers, a pad mounted transformer is installed on a concrete pad or prepared ground foundation. Its enclosed structure makes it suitable for areas where underground or ground-level distribution systems are preferred. This type of transformer is commonly used in residential neighborhoods, commercial parks, schools, public buildings, municipal facilities, and outdoor utility distribution projects where safety, appearance, installation convenience, and accessibility are important.
The ZGD Series is a single-phase oil immersed transformer. Transformer oil acts as both the cooling medium and insulation medium, helping dissipate heat during operation and supporting stable electrical performance. The oil immersed design is widely used in distribution transformer applications because of its mature technology, good insulation performance, reliable operation, and long service life.
According to the UL certified oil transformer product list, the Pad Mounted ZGD Series – Single Phase has a capacity coverage of up to 250kVA and a high-voltage coverage range of 11kV to 17kV. It is listed under UL List No. E540521 and is designed with reference to standards such as IEEE C57.12.00, IEEE C57.12.28, and IEEE C57.12.90. These standards are commonly used for distribution transformer construction, enclosure integrity, testing, and performance requirements.
For international projects, the ZGD Series Single Phase Pad Mounted Transformer is suitable for customers who need a safe, reliable, and easy-to-maintain outdoor transformer solution. It can be used by power utilities, electrical contractors, real estate developers, industrial users, infrastructure contractors, and energy project developers. The transformer can be customized according to project requirements, including rated capacity, voltage ratio, frequency, tapping range, enclosure design, bushing arrangement, accessories, protection options, coating color, and nameplate requirements.
