Quick Answer
A 630 kVA 33 kV dry-type transformer for a data center is a cast-resin, oil-free, three-phase transformer that steps 33 kV medium voltage down to 400/415 V for UPS and server hall distribution. Data centers specify it because cast resin is self-extinguishing and contains no oil, so no fire suppression bund, oil pit or leakage risk is required indoors. Per IEC 60076-11, partial discharge is limited to 10 pC, and with AN/AF cooling the unit accepts around 40–50% overload during UPS switchover or maintenance.
Product Overview
This is a three-phase indoor dry-type cast resin transformer rated 630 kVA with a primary voltage of 33 kV and a secondary voltage of 415 V (400 V optional). The windings are vacuum-cast in epoxy resin, giving a non-hygroscopic, flame-retardant and maintenance-free insulation system that is safe to install inside the electrical room of a data center, directly at the load centre.
Designed for Tier III / Tier IV data centers, colocation facilities, hyperscale and AI/GPU compute halls, it feeds UPS input, power distribution units and mechanical loads. The unit is manufactured under ISO 9001 and tested in accordance with IEC 60076-11, IEC 60076-1 and EN 50588-1.
Why Data Centers Choose Dry-Type Over Oil-Immersed
| Consideration | Cast Resin Dry Type | Oil-Immersed | Data Center Impact |
| Fire risk | Self-extinguishing, F1 fire behaviour, no oil | Combustible oil, needs bund and suppression | Dry type can sit indoors at the load centre |
| Installation | Indoor, no oil pit | Outdoor or fire-rated room | Saves fire-rated room and bund cost |
| Maintenance | Maintenance-free, no oil testing | Periodic oil sampling and filtration | Lower OPEX over 25 years |
| Humidity | Operates at 100% RH, non-hygroscopic | Moisture ingress risk | Stable during commissioning and outages |
| Cooling | AN with AF fans for 40–50% overload | ONAN | Matches UPS switchover peaks |
| Monitoring | PT100 + PTC + thermostat as standard | Optional | Feeds BMS and DCIM directly |
Our recommendation: for indoor data center electrical rooms, specify cast resin dry type unless the room is fire-rated and the unit is installed outdoors.
Key Features
- Fire-safe and oil-free— epoxy resin cast windings are self-extinguishing and halogen-free, suitable for installation at the load centre without a fire-rated transformer room.
- Low partial discharge— vacuum casting under controlled conditions keeps partial discharge at or below 10 pC (IEC 60076-11), protecting insulation over a 25-year service life.
- Low loss design— high-permeability grain-oriented silicon steel with step-lap core reduces no-load loss and meets EN 50588-1 / EU Ecodesign 2019/1783 Tier 2 requirements.
- AN / AF cooling— natural air cooling at rated load, forced-air fans raise capacity by approximately 40–50% for UPS switchover and N+1 contingency.
- Thermal monitoring as standard— PT100 sensors in each winding phase plus PTC thermistors, with alarm and trip contacts for BMS and DCIM integration.
- Harmonic-capable design— K-factor or K-13 rated design available for UPS, rectifier and GPU server loads with high harmonic content.
- Electrostatic shield option— earthed screen between HV and LV windings attenuates common-mode noise, protecting sensitive IT equipment.
- Low noise— typically below 58 dB(A) at 1 m, suitable for electrical rooms adjacent to occupied areas.
- Moisture and dust resistant— fully encapsulated windings allow operation in 100% relative humidity and coastal or dusty environments.
Typical Applications
- Hyperscale and AI / GPU compute data centers
- Colocation facilities and Tier III / Tier IV server halls
- Edge data centers and modular containerised IT halls
- UPS input and output distribution
- Financial trading and telecom core sites
- Network operations centres and server rooms in commercial buildings
