Power transformers play a critical role in power supply systems, ensuring efficient distribution of electrical energy. Transformers designed for specific operating conditions and industrial needs, particularly for railway transport, are of special importance. Power transformers of TMZh type, manufactured by LLC “UKRELEKTROAPARAT”, are oil-filled step-down three-phase double-winding transformers intended for powering electrical equipment of alternating current electrified railways, and are available in capacities from 25 to 2500 kVA.

Design Features
TMZh transformers possess a set of technical parameters that determine their functionality and suitability for use in railway electrical networks. Understanding these characteristics is important for the correct selection and operation of the equipment.
- Welded rectangular tanks with radiators for efficient cooling.
- Presence of special hooks for lifting the assembled transformer.
- Location on the tank of necessary elements for oil maintenance (plugs for filling, draining, taking samples) and a grounding bolt.
- Active part consisting of windings, a high-voltage switch, and a magnetic core made of high-quality steel, manufactured using modern technology (cutting on a «GEORG» line, «Step-Lap» stacking).
- Outdoor removable HV and LV bushings with porcelain insulators, located on the lid.
- Possibility of equipping with contact terminals for different busbar cross-sections.
- Oil conservator for compensating thermal expansion of the oil and an oil level indicator with marks for different temperature regimes.
- Installation of a thermometer for monitoring the temperature of the upper oil layers.
