Green Transformers: Sustainable Design and Eco-Friendly Practices

Although most of our power still comes from fossil fuels, solar and wind are among the two fastest-growing sources of electricity all over the world.

The distribution of renewable energy throughout the electric grid requires a new take on transformers, and the solution is here. How can eco-friendly versions improve our clean energy efforts? Eco-friendly or green transformers are created from the ground up for sustainability through each part of the equipment lifecycle.

Greener manufacturing process: Assembled from less problematic materials for a reduced impact on natural resource availability.

• More sustainable operation: Eco-friendly transformers are designed for lower maintenance costs over time, as well as more energy-efficient operation with lower rates of power loss.

• Lifecycle and retiring EOL products: Eco-friendly transformers last longer. When they do reach their end-of-life date, they're generally easier to recycle than traditional transformers.

Benefits of Eco-Friendly Transformers?

1. Cleaner Manufacturing and Lifecycle

Eco-friendly transformers are designed from the ground up for a greener product lifecycle. They're manufactured using ester oil-derived from vegetables - rather than more conventional and environmentally harmful mineral oil.

Ester oil as a coolant and insulating agent is nontoxic and biodegradable.

2. Quieter Operation

Noise reduction is another benefit that premium build materials can bring. Transformers fabricated using synthetic ester oils operate more quietly than traditional models. They are suitable for use in schools, densely populated communities and areas where the human or ecological impact from noise pollution is a concern.

3. Safer Energy Distribution

Our energy distribution infrastructure must become cleaner and more sustainable if human civilization continues in its current form.

4. Longer Equipment Lifecycle
