Application
- Used in grid-connected solar PV plants
- Converts inverter output (low voltage AC) to grid level voltage
- Provides isolation + voltage step-up
Solar panels → DC → inverter → AC (LV) → IDT → 11kV / 33kV grid
Technical Configuration
Voltage Levels
- LT Side (Inverter side):
- 400V / 415V / 690V (typical)
- Multiple LT windings (1, 2, or 3 inputs)
- HT Side (Grid side):
- 11 kV / 33 kV
Winding Configuration
- 1 LT winding → Single inverter connection
- 2 LT windings → Dual inverter input
- 3 LT windings (or more) → Multiple inverter inputs
Multi-winding design reduces number of transformers in solar plant
Capacity Range
- Typical: 100 kVA to 20 MVA
- Can be customized based on plant MW size
Phase
- 3 Phase Transformer (mandatory for solar utility plants)
Cooling
- ONAN / ONAF (oil cooled)
