Skid Mounted Substation Transformer Description
The 5000 kVASkid Mounted Substation Transformer is the core component of a Skid Mounted Substation, offering a turnkey solution for rapid deployment in medium-voltage distribution networks. As the heart of the Skid Mounted Substation, this transformer is housed on a heavy-duty skid frame, stepping down primary voltages up to 44 kV to 4.16 kV (or custom secondary levels) with ±5% on-load tap adjustment (41.8 – 46.2 kV range).
Built to CSA C88 and UL/cUL standards, the Skid Mounted Substation Transformer features a conservator tank with silica-gel breather to maintain oil purity, while ONAN cooling supports continuous 5 MVA operation—critical for the stable performance of the entire Skid Mounted Substation. Crafted for outdoor installations—from EV charging stations to data centers and renewable energy plants—this Skid Mounted Substation Transformer enables the Skid Mounted Substation to deliver reliable performance, low maintenance, and straightforward modular integration for projects requiring fast substation builds.
