Abstract

The SIDT (solid insulation distribution transformer) was developed to provide an alternative solution to replace liquid-filled transformers that might leak oil to contaminate surrounding soil and underground water. Restoration costs could be higher than installing a new transformer. The SIDT has no insulation oil but uses solid materials as an insulating and cooling medium, so there is no risk of an environmental problem. Several special tests described in this paper proved a reliable performance of SIDT. This paper provides technical information on a submersible, solid insulation distribution transformer for building a safe and eco-friendly underground distribution system.
