 Electrical distribution applications

Introduction
Ormazabal develops solutions in line with its
customers' requirements, identifying needs
and providing optimal, innovative alternatives.
Our transformers are sustainably
manufactured under international standards to
ensure the reliability, robustness and efficiency
required in the most demanding applications,
such as public services, airports, hospitals,
commercial and industrial sectors.
Our transformers for electrical distribution
applications make up a complete range of
dielectric liquid immersed transformers, from
50 to 3150 kVA power and insulation levels
up to 36 kV.

Smart grids
Given the increasing complexity and ever-
changing dynamics of electrical grids,
Ormazabal offers sensorised, digitised
solutions for remote protection and monitoring
of transformers.

Experience and technology

Ormazabal stands out for working alongside
leading electricity companies around the world.
This extensive experience is accompanied by
the constant search for excellence in industrial
and operational technology.

Industrial flexibility
Ormazabal, as a global, industrial, technology
company, has the flexibility necessary to work
in changing environments.

Accessories
At Ormazabal, we have a wide range
of optional accessories for distribution
transformers.

Medium-voltage (MV) and

low-voltage (LV) terminals
Availability of different solutions. The most
common are:
• MV: porcelain insulators or plug-in
connectors
• LV: porcelain insulators or busbars

Tap changers:
Availability of de-energised tap changers
(DETC) and on-load tap changers (OLTC).

Protection
A range of devices to protect the transformer
according to parameters such as temperature,
tank pressure, dielectric liquid level or gas
detection. Availability of both analogue and
digital relays which, in addition to alarm and
trip protection functions, also allow monitoring
of the protected functions.

Optional
characteristics
Organic & Organic Synth
Transformers with biodegradable liquid
dielectric and high fire performance:
• Organic: using biodegradable natural ester
from vegetable oil, without antioxidant
additives.
• Organic Synth: using synthetic liquid
dielectrics, especially suitable for extreme
cold conditions.

Low EM Emissions
The optimised design of the low-voltage
connections and their improved shielding
ensures the generated magnetic field is
attenuated.

Silent
Noise is reduced even further thanks to the use
of specific materials. Digital transformers.

Digital
Equipped with sensors and devices for remote
protection and monitoring, responding to
customer needs.

Compact
Using state-of-the-art insulating materials
ensures more compact transformers without
sacrificing the renowned robustness and
reliability of Ormazabal transformers.

Harmonic filter
Avoids the presence of excessive harmonics
and their negative effects, as in the case of
loads with power electronics.
