Market analysis of three-phase cushion mounted transformer exported to the United States in 2022 overview of three-phase cushion mounted transformer in the United States:

The three-phase liquid filled pad mounted transformer (hereinafter referred to as American box transformer in China, which was first introduced into the Chinese market by Cooper company in the United States) puts the transformer body, high-voltage load switch, fuse and other components together in the transformer oil tank. Due to the large unit power consumption in the United States, the high-voltage metering method is not adopted, and there are no various instruments and distribution circuit breakers in the low-voltage interval, which is convenient and flexible to install. Fully insulated, fully sealed structure, safe and reliable, easy to operate and maintenance free. It is applicable to commercial centers, industrial parks, residential areas, streets, airports, docks, stations and densely populated areas in cities.

Main features of three-phase pad mounted transformer in the United States:
Strong overload capacity: 2 times and 2 hours of overload and 1.6 times and 7 hours of overload are allowed, but the service life of pad mounted transformer will not be affected.Elbow plug: it is very convenient for the connection of high-voltage incoming cable and can be pulled and inserted with electricity.

Adopt double fuse protection: a. the plug-in fuse (bay-o-net) is a double sensitive fuse (temperature, current) to protect the short-circuit fault on the secondary side of the box transformer; b. The backup current limiting protection fuse (ELSP) protects the internal fault of the box transformer and is used to protect the high-voltage side.
The pad mounted transformer produced by hengfengyou electric generally adopts high fuel point oil (FR3), which greatly enhances the safety and operation reliability.
The pad mounted transformer is divided into terminal type and ring network type, which is very convenient for conversion and improves the reliability of power supply.

Current problems in the US Power Grid Market:
The latest power grid reliability report released by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) states:
Between 2013 and 2020, U.S. power consumers experienced an average of at least 2 hours of blackouts per year.
In 2017 and 2020, the number of power outages in the U.S. power grid increased rapidly due to multiple adverse factors such as extreme weather and poor power plant conditions.
2020 was the worst year for the U.S. grid service system, with an average of more than 8 hours of blackouts per U.S. power consumer in 2020.
In February 2021, a winter storm hit Texas, nearly 5 million people lost power supply and electricity bills soared.
Affected by frequent extreme weather and other natural disasters in recent years, large-scale power outages have occurred from time to time, which fully exposed the vulnerability of the national grid of the United States and urgently needed a large amount of investment in improvement and upgrading. It can be imagined that the renewal of the existing existing distribution network power equipment in the United States will be a huge market.

Us grid market investment plan:
The United States is also vigorously promoting renewable energy and striving to achieve carbon free power generation by 2035. Biden's government, which has been focusing on the "Green New Deal", has expressed key concerns about the power sector. Biden emphasized the construction of a new energy grid - he also plans to use $100 billion to build a more flexible grid, propose to extend the tax preferential policies for wind, solar and other renewable energy projects for 10 years, and require more electricity to come from low-carbon energy. It's really like "new power infrastructure". According to the American Society of civil engineers, by the end of the next decade, the US power grid will face an investment gap of 338 billion US dollars (about 2200 billion yuan).

Requirements for three-phase pad mounted transformers entering the U.S. market:
According to Jack, sales director of hengfengyou electric, transformers entering the U.S. market must comply with IEEE C57 12.00 /IEEE C57. 12.90/IEEE C57. 12.28 standard, with UL certification. There are some differences in the requirements of the local power bureau for the pad mounted transformer. For example, the local power bureau of Ohio requires that the 2500 KVA pad mounted transformer must be equipped with a separate junction box for transformer temperature detection and transformer operation control. Here I would like to remind you that we must implement the requirements of the customer's Local Power Bureau. If it does not comply with the regulations, the products will not be allowed to be put into use.

Market prospect of three-phase pad mounted transformer in the United States:
Today, let Jack, the sales director of hengfengyou electric, share with you the market information of three-phase pad mounted transformer in the United States. Although the U.S. power grid developed earlier, the voltage is not unified, resulting in the national power grid can not be interconnected, so the voltage combination of transformers should be the largest country in the world. At present, the capacity of mainstream industrial and commercial distribution transformers in the market is 2500kVA: pad mounted transformer 2500kva-13.2/0.416kv (more used for mining and distribution in bitcoin), pad mounted transformer 2500kva-13.8/0.416kv, pad mounted transformer 2500kva-24.9/0.416kv, dual voltage pad mounted transformer 2500 kva-14.4kv/24.9kv-240/415v and other main models. As the United States strengthens its investment in power grid construction this year, the market scale of distribution transformer in the United States is estimated to be US $33 billion in the next decade. Since the production cycle of local transformer enterprises in the United States is generally four months, it will certainly not meet the future growth demand, which will inevitably bring unlimited business opportunities to our power transformer enterprises. Qingdao hengfengyou Electrical Engineering Co., Ltd. has accumulated a lot of production and manufacturing experience since it obtained the UL certification of American pad mounted transformer in 2019 and entered the American pad mounted transformer market. It is familiar with the quality standards required by ANSI electrical standards, the Institute of electrical and electronics engineers and the local electricity bureau of the United States, The three-phase oil filled cushion mounted transformer produced fully meets the local quality standards of the United States.

Throughout the world, the United States is the second largest transformer Market in the world after China. With the implementation of the power infrastructure investment plan of the United States, it will be the market with the largest growth potential of power transformers in the world in the next decade.
