Power Transformers for Reliable Transmission and Distribution

3D render of a Sieyuan 765kV Liquid-immersed Power Transformer

Sieyuan power transformers keep electricity moving reliably from the power plant to the end user. Built on Toshiba core technology and a standardized design and manufacturing system, our liquid-immersed, gas-insulated and cast resin dry-type transformers cover voltages up to 765kV and capacities up to 1250MVA. Every unit is engineered to the customer's specification, designed and tested to IEC, IEEE/ANSI or national standards, and built for low losses, low noise and a long service life.

Lead times start from as short as 8 months, our average delivery time in 2025 was 10 months, and fast-track production is available when your project cannot wait.

Compare power transformer specifications

Selecting the right transformer starts with the network it will serve. Voltage level and rated capacity define the platform, while the insulation medium, cooling and arrangement decide where a unit can be installed, how it is maintained and how it behaves in a fault. The table summarizes the standard range of each technology; final ratings are engineered for every project.

Insulation and cooling options for safety and sustainability

The insulation medium shapes how a transformer performs, where it can be installed and how it affects its surroundings. Sieyuan offers four proven options, so every project can balance capacity, fire safety and environmental goals. For a deeper look at cooling methods, insulation liquids and ratings, read our power transformer selection guide.

  • Mineral oil

    The proven standard for liquid-immersed power transformers. Mineral oil combines high dielectric strength with efficient heat transfer and supports the highest voltage and capacity ratings, up to 765kV and 1250MVA.

  • Ester oil

    Ester oil has a higher fire point and better biodegradability than mineral oil. It is a strong choice for substations close to people, water or sensitive ecosystems, with the same liquid-immersed design.

  • SF6 gas

    In gas-insulated power transformers, SF6 replaces oil completely. An internal fault causes only a small rise in tank pressure, which removes the risk of tank rupture and fire in urban and indoor substations.

  • Cast resin

    Cast resin dry-type transformers encapsulate the windings in resin and use no liquid at all. Flame-retardant and self-extinguishing, they suit commercial buildings and sites with strict fire safety requirements.

Power Transformer FAQ

Answers to the questions engineers and buyers ask most often when they specify and source a power transformer.

What types of power transformers does Sieyuan manufacture?

Sieyuan manufactures three transformer ranges. Liquid-immersed power transformers cover ratings up to 765kV and 1250MVA for transmission, generation and large industrial loads. Gas-insulated power transformers are available for 110kV and 220kV systems up to 75MVA, in single-phase and three-phase designs. SC(B) series cast resin dry-type transformers cover voltages up to 40.5kV and capacities from 100 to 20000kVA for distribution and building applications.

What is the lead time for a Sieyuan power transformer?

Sieyuan power transformers can be delivered in as little as 8 months, and our average delivery time across 2025 was 10 months. For time-critical projects, fast-track production is available. Every order runs through a standardized design and manufacturing system with strict quality control at each stage, so the delivery date we confirm with your quotation is one we can keep.

Which standards do your transformers comply with?

Liquid-immersed power transformers are designed to IEC and IEEE/ANSI standards. Gas-insulated power transformers follow IEC, and standard models meet GB 20052-2024 Class II energy efficiency, with Class I designs available on request. Cast resin dry-type transformers conform to IEC 60076, GB/T 1094, GB/T 10228 and GB 20052, with Class F or Class H thermal ratings. Tell us the standard in your specification and we design to it.

Can a liquid-immersed power transformer use ester oil instead of mineral oil?

Yes. Our liquid-immersed power transformers can be filled with either mineral oil or ester oil as the cooling and insulating medium. Ester oil has a higher fire point and better biodegradability than mineral oil, which makes it a good choice for sites with fire safety or environmental requirements. Arrangements with integrated or split radiators and full or graded neutral insulation are also available.

How do I choose between liquid-immersed, gas-insulated and cast resin dry-type transformers?

Choose a liquid-immersed power transformer for high voltages and large capacities, up to 765kV and 1250MVA. Choose a gas-insulated power transformer when fire risk, explosion risk or limited space matters most, such as in urban and indoor substations at 110kV or 220kV. Choose a cast resin dry-type transformer for distribution voltages up to 40.5kV inside buildings or other sites with strict fire safety rules.
