Dry-type transformers are designed to be more resistant to environmental conditions, such as dust and moisture, compared to oil-immersed transformers. However, high levels of dust and moisture can still impact the performance and lifespan of dry-type transformers.
In applications where dust and moisture levels are high, it is important to consider the environmental specifications of the dry-type transformer and to install the transformer in suitably IP rated enclosures. Some dry-type transformers may have additional features or coatings that make them more resistant to dust and moisture, but these can vary between manufacturers and models.
Additionally, it is important to ensure that the dry-type transformer is installed and maintained properly to reduce the risk of damage or failure due to dust and moisture. This may include providing adequate ventilation to dissipate heat and prevent overheating, and regularly cleaning the transformer to prevent dust and moisture buildup.
Overall, dry-type transformers are a suitable solution for many applications with moderate levels of dust and moisture, but it is important to consider the specific conditions of the application and consult with a competent company who specialises in the supply of dry-type transformers.
