Eaton’s Cooper Power series Envirotran solar and energy storage transformers are designed for solar photovoltaic and energy storage medium-voltage applications. Friendlier to the environment, these pad-mounted transformers are filled with biodegradable and sustainable FR3 dielectric fluid, which also provides enhanced fire protection and a longer lifespan. Available in 45 through 12,000 kVA ratings, these solar and energy storage transformers may also be customized with a variety of site-specific characteristics to optimize safety and system integration.
Cargill's FR3 dielectric fluid provides superior transformer performance, safety and environmental friendliness.
This video demonstrates how quick and easy it is to install Eaton's close-coupled low-voltage throat connection between a typical 2500 kVA pad-mounted transformer and low-voltage AC recombiner switchboard.
