The ZGS series combined transformer (commonly known as American-type pad-mounted transformer) is a fully integrated compact distribution substation solution.
It combines multiple electrical components into a sealed oil-filled tank, including:
- High-voltage load switch
- Plug-in fuses
- Backup protection fuses
- Transformer core and windings
- No-load tap changer
The entire system uses transformer oil as insulation and cooling medium, ensuring safe and stable operation.
