I. Product Introduction
The S18 series transformers are a new generation of high-efficiency and energy-saving distribution transformers, covering two mainstream types: oil-immersed (S18) and dry-type (SCB18). They are mainly used in 10kV and 35kV power distribution network systems and serve as core power equipment connecting high-voltage power grids and terminal power consumption. The series has been comprehensively optimized in material selection, structural design and process upgrading, with the core positioning of "high energy efficiency, high reliability, low loss and easy operation and maintenance". It strictly complies with national standards such as the GB1094 series and GB20052-2020 "Minimum Allowable Values of Energy Efficiency and Energy Efficiency Levels for Power Transformers". Adapting to the diversified power demand under the "dual carbon" policy, such as power grid energy-saving renovation, industrial upgrading and commercial supporting facilities, it can effectively reduce power loss and improve power supply stability, making it an ideal replacement for traditional transformers.
Among them, the oil-immersed S18 transformer focuses on outdoor and large-scale industrial scenarios, adopting a fully sealed structural design to eliminate oil leakage hazards and adapt to complex outdoor environments; the dry-type SCB18 transformer takes epoxy resin casting technology as the core, with no oil and no explosion risk, focusing on indoor and sensitive scenario adaptation. Together, the two form a full-scenario high-efficiency power distribution solution, balancing energy saving and practicality, and widely serving multiple fields such as power, industry, commerce and people's livelihood.
