TYPE OF TESTS ON RESIN TRANSFORMER
FLAMMABILITY TEST
1.Set fire to the winding 2.ext paint caught fire 3.Self-extinguished 4.No damage
Fire Testing: ◆ Test result: Non-flammable Cracking ◆ I Damp Heat Testing: Test result: Appearance normal, no damage, non-cracking.
Technical characteristics remain unchanged.
ROUTINE TEST
OVER LOAD CAPABILITY
OVERLOAD When the temperature of the cooling air is lower than the limit allowed for the insulation class of the windings, the output power of the transformer can be higher than the nominal one. On the other hand by reducing the value of the selected power relative to the nominal one, the transformer can also be used without any problems with higher air temperature like for example those in tropical climates. The graph shows the curve which indicates the power to be selected as a function of the air temperature.
COMPARISION WITH OIL FILLED TRANSFORMER
ADVANTAGES OF CAST RESIN TRANSFORMERS
1.Non-hygroscopic insulation2.Fire safety3.High Mechanical strength4.No leakage of liquids5.Maintenance free & environmentally safe6.High overloading capability7.Only needs air cooling8.Impulse voltage strength9.Less failure rate
DISADVANTAGES OF CAST RESIN TRANSFORMERS
1.Larger physical size2.Initially high purchase cost
APPLICATION
More than 10,000 units in service.Statistics show reliability evenbetter than oil transformers.

CONCLUSION Cast Resin transformer is used where
safety, pollution, size & economy matters a lot. Now-a-days the use of Cast resin transformers has been increased and they are widely used in power houses, Apartments, as back-up supply, etc. These are very commonly used in China, Japan, USA, Switzerland, Netherland. But these are very rarely used in India. According to my view Energy Department of India should think about the installation of these transformers in our Power System.
