Distribution Transformers
MDT and LDT are used to step down three phase high voltage to low voltage for power distribution, mainly in metropolitan areas and for industrial applications.
The transformers in standard versions are designed for use in tropical climates and can be installed both outdoors and indoors.
These transformers are manufactured and tested in accordance with IEC Publication 60076.
They are also in compliance with several national standards eg,BS 171,SS 404,ANSI C27 etc.
MDT/LDT can be hermetically sealed (the tank is completely filled with oil) or fitted with oil conservator. Both types are supplied with flexible corrugated tank walls enabling sufficient cooling of the transformers. They also compensate for the changes in the oil volume during operation. An advantage of the hermetically sealed transformers is that the oil is never in contact with the atmosphere thus avoiding periodic analysis of the oil.For the LDT, it can be manufactured either with off-circuit tap changer, or on-load tap changer.
