Manufacturing Process — From Winding to Dispatch
The quality of a cast resin dry-type transformer is determined in manufacturing — particularly at the LV foil winding, epoxy vacuum casting, and curing stages. The following images document actual production steps at Zhongxin General’s Sichuan facility for the 1000 kVA unit.
Low-Voltage Foil Winding


The low-voltage winding adopts a foil winding structure, solving the axial helical angle problem inherent in conventional wire winding and achieving better ampere-turn balance. High-quality copper foil is wound by automatic foil winding machine. The LV output copper busbars are connected to the foil winding using argon-protected welding, ensuring minimal contact resistance. DMD epoxy resin pre-impregnated cloth is used between winding layers for interlayer insulation and bonding.
Epoxy Vacuum Casting and Curing

The high-voltage winding is vacuum-cast with filled epoxy resin. This process removes air from the winding structure before resin injection, virtually eliminating partial discharge and ensuring uniform dielectric strength throughout the coil. Glass fiber mesh plates reinforce the inner and outer walls of the HV winding, enhancing mechanical strength and short-circuit withstand capability. After casting, all coils enter a controlled hot-air curing oven where integral forming takes place.
HV Winding After Demoulding


Following curing, HV epoxy cast windings are demoulded and surface-finished. The clean, void-free resin encapsulation gives SCB-series cast resin transformers their core operating characteristics: flame-retardant, fire-proof, maintenance-free, pollution-free, and capable of operating reliably in humid or contaminated environments.
Core and Coil Assembly



The iron core uses imported high-quality cold-rolled grain-oriented silicon steel sheets with a five-stage full-oblique joint structure, bound with F-class non-woven tape and surface-coated with epoxy resin to reduce no-load loss, no-load current, and core noise. The HV-to-LV air gap spacing is set to the designed insulation clearance and creepage distances required for reliable 10 kV class operation.
Completed Unit


The high-voltage terminal end features off-circuit tap connections providing ±2×2.5% voltage adjustment capability (five positions: 10,500 V / 10,250 V / 10,000 V / 9,750 V / 9,500 V), allowing the transformer to match local grid voltage variations.
Temperature Control System

PT100 platinum resistance sensors are embedded in the low-voltage coil during manufacturing. These sensors feed into an intelligent temperature controller providing:
- Sequential detection and display of three-phase winding temperatures with fault self-diagnosis
- Hot-spot phase winding temperature display
- Over-temperature alarm output (adjustable setpoint)
- Over-temperature trip output (adjustable setpoint)
- Automatic or timed fan start/stop (Black Box function)
Optional functions include analog current output, RS485 serial interface for centralized monitoring and SCADA integration, additional iron core or ambient temperature detection points, and additional active output contacts.
Cooling fans are cross-flow top-blowing type, featuring low noise, high wind pressure, and compact aesthetics. Under ANAF forced-air cooling conditions, the transformer can handle continuous overload with superior thermal safety margin.
Applicable Standards and Testing

Every 1000 kVA dry-type transformer manufactured by Zhongxin General undergoes a full programme of routine tests before leaving the factory. No unit is dispatched without a complete test report.
Routine tests (every unit): winding resistance measurement, voltage ratio and vector group verification, no-load loss and no-load current, load loss and short-circuit impedance, induced overvoltage withstand test, separate-source AC withstand test, partial discharge measurement.
Type tests (conducted on representative units; reports available on request): temperature rise test, lightning impulse test.
Special tests (available on request): sound level measurement, short-circuit withstand test.
All tests are conducted in accordance with IEC 60076-11 and GB/T 10228-2023. Test reports and ITP (Inspection and Test Plan) documentation can be provided prior to or alongside shipment. Factory Acceptance Test with client witness is supported.

Application: Integration into Prefabricated Substations
The 1000 kVA rating sits at one of the most widely deployed capacities for urban commercial distribution, industrial parks, and new energy project collection points. Its compact footprint and oil-free, flame-retardant construction make it the standard choice for integration into prefabricated box-type substations where fire safety regulations, environmental compliance, and fast deployment are all mandatory.
For a real-world example of dry-type transformers deployed inside prefabricated substations, see our Modular Smart Substation for Yichuan LNG Energy Project — Yan’an, Shaanxi, where Zhongxin General delivered four complete prefabricated smart substation modules ahead of the contractual deadline.
For substations requiring oil-immersed main transformers at higher power ratings, see our prefabricated box substations delivered to PetroChina’s Luntai project in Xinjiang, designed for extreme-environment oilfield operation.
Batch Production Capability


Zhongxin General’s Sichuan production lines support batch production of dry-type transformers across the complete 30 kVA to 8,000 kVA capacity range, supporting 6 kV, 10 kV, and 35 kV voltage classes. The 1000 kVA capacity sits in our most active production range alongside the 630–1250 kVA segment, with mature tooling, established quality protocols, and available capacity for volume orders.For a reference on large-scale power infrastructure that included multiple dry-type transformers across this capacity range, see Zhongxin General’s 16,730 kVA intelligent power system delivered for Xinjin District People’s Hospital, which featured 12 transformers from 500 kVA to 2,000 kVA in a single project.
Typical Applications
The 1000 kVA cast resin dry-type transformer is one of the most widely deployed medium-capacity distribution transformers across commercial and industrial sectors. Its flame-retardant, oil-free, maintenance-free characteristics make it the preferred choice for indoor and urban installations where fire safety and environmental compliance are mandatory.
Typical installations include commercial buildings and retail facilities (shopping centres, high-rise office and residential towers, hotels, airports), industrial parks and manufacturing facilities, chemical plants and process industry, new energy projects (solar PV step-up stations, wind farm collection systems), data centres and IT facilities where zero-oil-spill risk is a requirement, rail transit power distribution, and healthcare facilities. Its EU-compliant Grade 1 efficiency option also makes it a regular choice for European import projects.
