Category: Three Phase Pad Mount Transformers
★Product Introduction

The ZGSL-Z-1500-13.8-0.415 is a radial feed pad-mounted transformer designed for underground power distribution networks. It steps down 13.8kV primary voltage to 0.415kV secondary voltage, delivering 1500kVA capacity for commercial and industrial applications.

Housed in a locked, weatherproof steel enclosure, this electrical transformer ensures safe operation in compact spaces without requiring fenced enclosures. Key features include:

  • ✔ High-efficiency design (up to 98.5% energy efficiency)
  • ✔ Radial feed configuration for simplified underground cable connections
  • ✔ Corrosion-resistant construction for outdoor durability

Ideal for utility service drops, this pad-mounted transformer provides reliable power conversion while meeting IEEE and IEC standards.

★Product Advantage
  1. Superior Cost Efficiency (vs Loop Feed)
    The radial feed design reduces infrastructure costs by approximately 25% due to simpler cabling requirements. This transformer maintains 98.5% efficiency (3.2kW no-load / 18.5kW load losses), verified by ISO 9001-certified testing.
  2. Compact & Space-Saving Design
    With dimensions of just 2.1×1.8×1.9m, this pad mounted transformer is ideal for space-constrained sites. The radial configuration eliminates complex switching gear, saving up to 35% footprint compared to loop feed alternatives.
  3. Reliability and Durability
    Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, the transformer features a robust design for long service life. It resists weather, vandalism, and wildlife interference, ensuring consistent and reliable power distribution.
  4. Ease of Installation and Maintenance
    Ground-level placement simplifies installation, requiring only a concrete pad and electrical connections. This accessibility also makes routine maintenance and inspections more straightforward, reducing operational costs and downtime.
  5. Enhanced Security
    Lockable enclosures provide an additional layer of security, protecting against unauthorized access and tampering. This is especially important in areas susceptible to vandalism or where public safety is a concern.

Product Uses
Radial Feed Pad-Mounted Transformer Applications
  • Residential Subdivisions: Ideal for housing developments with single-source power feeds.
  • Small Commercial Buildings: Suitable for retail stores, offices, and schools where redundancy is not critical.
  • Rural Electrification: Used in remote areas with simple grid layouts.
  • Temporary Power Supply: Deployed for construction sites or emergency power restoration.
Advantages of Radial Feed
  • ✔ Lower Installation Cost (25-30% savings vs. loop feed)
  • ✔ Simpler Design (Single power input reduces cabling complexity)
  • ✔ Faster Commissioning (Can be installed in 6-8 hours)
  • ✔ Easier Maintenance (Fewer components to inspect)
Loop Feed Pad-Mounted Transformer Applications
  • Urban Grids & Smart Cities: Used in networked distribution systems requiring high reliability.
  • Industrial Parks: Ensures uninterrupted power for factories and manufacturing plants.
  • Critical Facilities: Hospitals, data centers, and airports where power redundancy is essential.
  • Renewable Energy Integration: Supports microgrids with multiple power sources.
When to Choose Loop Feed?
  • ✔ Need automatic backup power (N-1 redundancy)
  • ✔ Require minimal downtime during maintenance
  • ✔ Operating in high-load, complex grids
Why Choose Radial Feed? Key Benefits
  1. Cost-Effective
    Saves ¥15,000–20,000 per unit in cable and switching gear costs.
  2. Space-Saving
    30% smaller footprint than loop feed, ideal for tight urban spaces.
  3. Lower Maintenance
    50% fewer inspection points, reducing long-term servicing costs.
  4. Faster Deployment
    Plug-and-play design enables quick installation in under 8 hours.
Product Operate Guide

1. Shipment, Handling, Rigging & Storage

  • Inspect the transformer for shipping damage upon arrival. Report any issues to the carrier immediately.
  • Use only designated lifting lugs and appropriate rigging equipment rated for the transformer’s weight. Never lift by bushings or radiators.
  • Store the transformer upright on a level, dry surface. Protect from weather and flooding. For long-term storage, seal all openings and monitor silica gel breathers.

2. Transformer Installation

  • Crane Lifting & Rigging: Attach slings to marked lifting points. Use spreader bars if needed to avoid tank deformation.
  • Jack & Skid: For short moves, use jacks and skids under the base. Move slowly and avoid sudden movements.
  • Foundation: Place transformer on a flat, solid, non-combustible pad with proper drainage. Anchor as required by local codes.
  • Compartment: Ensure HV and LV compartments are accessible and free of debris. Check gasket seals for integrity.
  • Grounding: Connect tank and neutral points to a reliable earth ground per IEEE/NEC standards.
  • High Voltage & Low Voltage Connections: Clean and torque all cable terminations to manufacturer’s specifications. Use proper lugs and insulation.
  • Dielectric Fluid: Check oil level and top up with approved fluid if necessary. Sample oil for moisture and dielectric strength if required.
  • Transformer Pressure: Verify pressure relief device is operational. Check for correct internal pressure or vacuum as specified.
  • Other Aspects: Install required signage and barriers. Confirm all accessories are installed and functional.

3. Pre-Energization

  • Perform insulation resistance and turns ratio tests. Confirm all connections are tight and correct.
  • Verify tap changer is set to the correct position.
  • Check oil level, absence of leaks, and operation of gauges and alarms.

4. Post-Energization

  • Monitor for abnormal noise, vibration, or temperature rise.
  • Check for oil leaks and monitor gauges for pressure and temperature.
  • Record initial load and voltage readings.

5. Switching Operation

  • Operate switches only under no-load conditions unless rated for load-break.
  • Follow lockout/tagout procedures before maintenance.
  • Use insulated tools and wear appropriate PPE.

6. Protection

  • Ensure fuses, surge arresters, and relays are installed and rated correctly.
  • Test protection devices per manufacturer’s recommendations.

7. Accessories

  • Check operation of temperature gauges, pressure relief devices, oil level indicators, and gas relays.
  • Maintain and calibrate accessories as required.

8. Maintenance

  • Perform periodic inspections for leaks, corrosion, and proper operation of all devices.
  • Sample and test dielectric fluid annually or as recommended.
  • Clean bushings and compartments regularly.

9. Field Acceptance Test Guidelines

  • Conduct insulation resistance, turns ratio, and winding resistance tests before energization.
  • Compare results with factory test reports and standards (e.g., IEEE C57.12).
  • Document all test results for future reference.

10. Tables and Procedures

  • Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for torque values, oil specifications, and test limits.
  • Maintain a log of all inspections, tests, and maintenance activities.
  • Follow standard operating procedures for all field operations.
