Does your transformer make a buzzing noise at night, causing complaints from your neighbors? HuaLai Power SC14 dry-type transformer keeps your ears free from such disturbances.

2026-09-17

Many property managers, factories, and solar power project owners have experienced this problem: the oil-immersed transformer in the power distribution room, which is bearable during the day, becomes a buzzing noise like a tractor that keeps running when it gets quiet at night. Residents file complaints, environmental protection fines follow, and rectification notices come one after another. If you want to replace it, the traditional transformer oiler has leakage hazards that need constant monitoring, and the oil stains on the ground are hard to clean. Fire safety inspections are also troublesome. And that's not all. The epoxy resin of the old dry-type transformer cracks and local discharge exceeds the standard, causing the temperature to rise over the years. In summer, it trips, and the entire factory's production line stops, causing losses that no one can bear.

 

HuaLai Power's SC14 10kV dry-type transformer is designed precisely to address these problems. SC14 is currently one of the models with the lowest loss values on the market - its no-load and load losses are significantly lower than the old SCB10 series, resulting in lower electricity bills. The resin insulation material uses imported epoxy formula, vacuum pouring, and there are no bubbles inside, with the partial discharge value controlled at 10 picocoulombs or below. What does this mean? Low noise! Measured at one meter away, the noise does not exceed 45 decibels, similar to the buzzing sound of a refrigerator in the quiet of the night. The power distribution room in a residential area can use this transformer without causing any disturbances.

In terms of safety, dry-type transformers do not require oiling, eliminating the problem of oil leakage, fire, and spread. The enclosure protection level reaches IP2X, with fingers unable to enter, and it is well-protected in the Box Type Substation. It can also withstand humid environments, such as basements, tunnel entrances, and coastal areas, without condensation or electrical leakage. Some customers have used Amorphous Alloy Dry-type Transformers and said that the non-ferrous alloy material does indeed save electricity, but has a slightly weaker overload capacity. Our SC14 uses high-quality silicon steel sheets and reasonable design, with a stronger overload capacity and the ability to withstand short-term overloading, making it less prone to burning. When installing the low-voltage cabinet, it can be easily matched with High and Low Voltage Distribution Cabinets, with convenient busbar connection and maintenance technicians saying it is clean.

 

In terms of usage, this transformer is highly versatile. It can be used in residential area power distribution rooms, schools, office buildings, small factories, and photovoltaic grid-connected projects. Especially for Those with photovoltaic projects, placing the SC14 in a Photovoltaic Prefabricated Cabin not only provides fire protection but also avoids oil leakage, resulting in lower operation and maintenance costs. Previously, oil-immersed transformers needed to test oil samples and replenish oil every six months, and an oil filter machine had to be prepared. By replacing it with an SC14, you can avoid these maintenance tasks for three years, and the saved maintenance costs can offset the electricity bills.

Product features:

Vacuum pouring process, partial discharge value lower than 10 picocoulombs, stable insulation performance, long lifespan.

Noise 45 dB, suitable for residential areas, hospitals, schools, etc., where noise sensitivity is high.

Good energy-saving effect, loss is 8%-10% lower than the SCB10 series, saving a lot of electricity over the years.

Tips:

 

Leave sufficient cooling space around during installation, and keep the back at least 300 millimeters away from the wall. Don't keep it close to the wall to prevent overheating.

During annual power outages for maintenance, use compressed air to blow off surface dust, avoid water flushing, and keep the ventilation ducts unobstructed.

In conclusion, HuaLai Power SC14 is the kind of equipment that, once installed, makes you forget it exists, being quiet, not causing trouble, and not causing issues. It saves electricity and is convenient to maintain.
