Qingdao Junling Transformer Co., Ltd. – Your Trusted Dry Type Transformer Manufacturer

When selecting a dry type transformer, one of the most common questions is: Should it be installed indoors or outdoors? The answer depends on factors such as environmental conditions, safety requirements, and application needs. At Qingdao Junling Transformer Co., Ltd., we specialize in high-quality dry type transformers designed for both indoor and outdoor use, ensuring reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance.

 

Should Dry Type Transformers Be Installed Indoors or Outdoors?

 

Indoor Installation: Ideal for Controlled Environments

Dry type transformers are naturally suited for indoor installations due to their non-flammable, eco-friendly design (no oil leakage risks). They are widely used in:

Commercial buildings (hospitals, schools, shopping malls)

Industrial facilities (factories, data centers, manufacturing plants)

Underground substations (safe operation in confined spaces)

Advantages:

No risk of oil spills or toxic fumes

Lower maintenance requirements

Quiet operation, ideal for noise-sensitive areas

Better protection against weather and pollution

Outdoor Installation: Robust and Weather-Resistant Solutions

With proper enclosures (IP54 or higher), dry type transformers can also operate efficiently outdoors. Our transformers are built with:

Corrosion-resistant coatings

UV-protected enclosures

Enhanced cooling systems for varying temperatures

Best for:

Renewable energy projects (solar/wind farms)

Mining and oilfield operations

Remote power distribution
