Wind power box transformer system
The box-type transformer is mainly used in the wind power generation system to convert the low-voltage electrical energy output by the wind turbine into the high-voltage electrical energy required for transmission.

FAQS about Wind power box transformer system
What type of transformer does a wind turbine use?
The type of transformer used in a wind turbine depends on the turbine's voltage. However, most wind turbines use a generator step-up (GSU) transformer. A step-up transformer increases the voltage of the electricity generated by the turbine. To do this, it will need strong short-circuit resistance to ensure that the electricity is not lost.
Where are Hitachi energy wind turbine transformers used?
Hitachi Energy wind turbine transformers and reactors are designed for installation on the nacelle platform, inside the tower base, or outside the tower adjacent to the base. Transformers for nacelle and in-tower applications have a compact construction design that allows them to easily pass through the tower door without disassembly.
How are wind turbine transformers rated?
All transformers (dry-type and liquid-filled) and reactors are designed and rated according to the size of the wind turbine generator and collection array voltage class to meet international standards, environmental standards, as well as climatic and fire behavior standards as required.
