What Are the Key Engineering Considerations for Upgrading Distribution Transformers?

Upgrading your transformers seems simple, but a wrong move can cause costly downtime and inefficiencies. This guide prevents that. Key engineering considerations for a transformer upgrade include precise load analysis, lifecycle cost assessment, selecting the right type (oil vs. dry), ensuring installation compatibility, and planning for future maintenance. A holistic approach ensures reliability and cost-effectiveness […]

Common Transformer Configuration Approaches for Distribution Grid Expansion Project

Distribution grid expansion projects rarely fail because of a single “wrong transformer”—they fail because of mismatched configuration decisions: vector group incompatibility that blocks paralleling, grounding choices that create protection blind spots, or a connection that amplifies harmonics from modern loads (EV charging, PV inverters, data centers). This article summarizes the transformer configuration approaches most commonly […]

5 Key Transformer Configuration Strategies for Distribution Grid Expansion

As utilities and EPCs work to modernize and expand distribution grids, the technical specifications of power and distribution transformers become paramount. Faced with aging infrastructure, rising demand, and the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), project engineers and procurement managers must make strategic decisions that balance immediate costs with long-term reliability and scalability. Choosing the […]
