Oil Distribution Transformers
Up to 5MVA | 36kV
At South Wales Transformers, our Oil-Filled Distribution Transformers are engineered to deliver reliable, efficient, and long-lasting power solutions for medium voltage network applications. By combining advanced design techniques with the highest quality materials, every transformer leaving our facility is manufactured and tested in full compliance with IEC 60076 standards.
We specialise in the design and manufacture of oil-filled distribution transformers optimised for maximum efficiency and low noise levels. Our transformers utilise high-quality cellulose (Kraft paper) insulation systems as standard, with Thermally Upgraded Paper (TUP) insulation available upon request for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance, in accordance with IEC 60076-14.
Our range offers both On-Load Tap Changing (OLTC) and De-Energised Tap Changing (DETC) options, providing flexibility to suit a wide variety of network configurations and customer requirements. All units are supplied in a Ground Mounted configuration, carefully dimensioned to ensure seamless integration into substations and kiosks.
Our transformers are designed and manufactured in compliance with the EU Ecodesign Directive Tier 2 efficiency requirements, ensuring our customers benefit from reduced energy losses, lower operating costs, and a smaller carbon footprint throughout the transformer's service life..

An On-Load Tap-Changer (OLTC) transformer is a crucial component in power distribution systems. It allows for the regulation of a transformer’s output voltage without interrupting the power supply. This function is vital for ensuring a stable and reliable power supply, particularly during fluctuations in demand or system disturbances.
