1000 kva pad mounted transformer types



Loop feed:
Loop Feed involves two sets of primary bushings, allowing the transformer to be connected to a looped power circuit. This enhances reliability, as power can still be supplied from the other direction in case of a fault on one side of the loop.
Radial feed:
Radial Feed is a simple, cost-effective design where power flows from a single source to the transformer.
