Blog 1 – 4HD Transformers – Introduction
When you think of transformers you can see a picture of a
grey blue structure standing at the end of your road with wires running in both
directions. But do you ever stand and wonder the importance of those structures
for yourselves as a consumer? Do you ever think if they are all the same or
different, what do they contain, whether their components pose any danger to
the environment, or if there are different components that can be used to make
it less harmful for the environment? Well if you haven’t its high time you do!
With the Environment day celebrations, the global warming awareness, the
environment saving drives etc. it is important that we try to move towards
greener options of every product that we use.
We as a company are committed towards a green plant and
green product development. It was this passion to reduce carbon footprint that
led to researching and building 4HD transformers. The 4 Dimensional High(s)!!
What is 4HD?
4HD symbolizes the Higher
efficiency, High insulation, Higher fire safety and Highly Environment friendly.
a)
Higher Efficiency – 4HD transformers conform to
IS 1180 standards Level 2 and 3. (To read about the IS 1180 click here). Ester
oil transformers are not covered under IS 1180 so they need not be very
efficient yet, but 4HD is Level 2 and 3 compliant.
b)
High Insulation – 4HD uses thermally upgraded
paper insulation.
c)
Higher Fire protection - We are pioneers to
start the use of Organic (Ester) Oil in Transformers in India. Organic (Ester)
oil has a high flash point, thus increasing fire safety.
d)
Highly environment friendly – there are multiple
aspects of 4HD transformers which make it environment friendly, the use Organic
(Ester) oil which is biodegradable and has a negligible carbon footprint in
comparison to mineral oil.
How does 4HD
Transformer fair against other Transformers
4HD Vs. Mineral oil traditional transformer
So now we come to the more interesting and relevant part.
You can ask what is such a big deal about this 4HD, it sounds promising but the
existing ones are doing their job, why do you need to read this or know about
this. Well existing transformers are performing their job, as any transformer
is expected to do. But areas where 4HD go beyond are efficiency, life, reliability, maintenance, safety, compact size
and most important – helps reduce carbon
footprint.
4HD Vs. Dry Type or Air Cooled Transformer
There are transformers which are air cooled (environment
friendly right, but wait….) but they do use epoxy coating which produces not so
good fumes when heated. 4HD can fair better than those too in being environment friendly, power efficient with
less losses, cost efficient and fire safe. Dry type are mostly used in
underground establishments, so a compact substation is also the choice of newer
establishments, 4HD being compact in
size are more preferable and economical.
Who do we
recommend it to?
Anyone and everyone who need a transformer or a compact
substation. It is specially recommended
for 1) basement installations,
2) Places prone to fire hazard,
3) Places like farmlands (mineral oil leakage damages the
soil),
4) Sensitive area like schools, hospitals,
5) Areas where electrical supply reliability is a necessity
and cannot be compromised – certain industries and hospitals etc.
