USS Transformer Types
Dry Type Transformers: Primarily used in indoor clean environment (office buildings, schools, etc.), but can be installed outdoors with proper weather enclosures. Lighter weight than liquid filled & cast coil. Must eliminate moisture from coils prior to energizing, more susceptible to airborne contaminants.
Cast Coil Transformers: Primarily used where reliability is important (healthcare, datacenters) and damp/dusty/dirty environments. Usually most expensive upfront cost but has longer life than VPI with greater fan overload and higher short circuit strength.
Oil Filled Transformers: Primarily used in outdoor applications. Smaller footprint than dry-type. Higher standard BIL than Dry type transformers. Some cost associated with maintenance to ensure proper fluid.
