A network service and transformer safety protector on a secondary side of a network transformer tank system. The network service and transformer safety protector is positioned between the network transformer and a secondary network distribution system and is configured to connect and disconnect a transformer from the secondary network. The network service and transformer safety protector is attached to the outside of the transformer tank.

Network service and transformer safety protector

A controllable primary switch for isolating a transformer from a power grid or network. The controllable primary switch is mountable within and integral to the transformer and is electrically connected to high voltage feeder cables to allow the transformer to be disconnected from the power grid or network. The controllable primary switch includes one or more vacuum interrupters having first and second electrical switch contacts mounted inside the casing, an actuator for moving the second switch contact relative to the first switch contact in each of the one or more vacuum interrupters, and a handle connected to the actuator. The handle engages the actuator to move the second switch contact relative to the first switch contact.

Intra-tank under-oil vacuum primary switches for medium voltage transformer applications

A transformer system for containing energy resulting from a sudden generation of gases which increases the pressure inside a transformer tank. The system comprises a) a transformer tank for housing a transformer coil and core assembly therein, and containing a dielectric fluid that is capable of electrically insulating components of the transformer coil and core assembly; and b) at least one heat exchanger connected to the transformer tank, wherein the at least one heat exchanger comprises at least one hollow panel or radiator. As the dielectric fluid increases in temperature and expands within the tank, the dielectric fluid is cooled by circulating the dielectric fluid through the at least one hollow panel or radiator in the at least one heat exchanger. The transformer tank and the at least one heat exchanger are capable of expanding in volume to contain energy resulting from the sudden generation of gases which increases the pressure inside the transformer tank.
