Dry Type Specialty Transformers

A variety of specialty dry type transformers exist. Typically not ventilated, this type of transformer usually has a small rating, and is capable of moving excessive heat away from the core and coils naturally, without the need for ventilation openings or other heat dissipation means. In most designs, this is accomplished by surrounding the core and coils with special material mixtures which absorb the heat and provide a solid seal. This type of transformer is ideal for hazardous locations, and is usually referred to as an Encapsulated Transformer.
