What are the future development trends of 35kV outdoor voltage transformers?

07/11/2025

Hey everyone, I’m Echo, a 10-year veteran in the field of outdoor voltage transformers (VTs). Today, let’s talk about where the 35kV outdoor voltage transformer is heading in the future.

1. Digitalization and Smart Features

With the rise of IoT (Internet of Things), big data, and cloud computing, 35kV outdoor VTs are getting smarter.

Imagine a voltage transformer that can monitor its own condition in real time, send data remotely, and even be controlled from your phone or computer. This kind of smart tech will not only boost the automation level of power grids but also make maintenance a whole lot easier.

For example, you could sit in your office and instantly know how the equipment is performing on-site. If something goes wrong, you’ll catch it right away — no more running back and forth to the field.

2. Higher Reliability and Stability

Outdoor equipment has to deal with all kinds of harsh conditions — extreme weather, pollution, dust, moisture, you name it.

That’s why future VTs will focus more on reliability and stability. Manufacturers will use better materials and improved designs to make sure these devices can keep running smoothly even in tough environments.

Because let’s be honest — nobody wants a small VT issue to cause a city-wide power outage.

3. Smaller Size and Modular Design

There’s a growing trend toward compact and modular equipment.

Future 35kV outdoor VTs will likely be smaller and easier to install. Modular designs mean they can be broken down into parts for easier transport and maintenance, and they’ll take up less space too.

Imagine a device that used to take two people to carry now being light enough for one person to handle. That’s the kind of convenience we’re talking about.

4. Eco-friendly and Energy-efficient

Green energy is the way of the future, and voltage transformers are no exception.

Newer models will use more environmentally-friendly materials and be designed to consume less power. Reducing energy consumption not only helps protect the environment but also lowers operating costs.

For example, new materials may allow the VT to function well in freezing conditions without needing extra heating devices — saving both energy and money.

5. Standardization and Globalization

As markets become more connected, the design and manufacturing standards for voltage transformers will continue to unify across countries.

This is great news for users because standardized equipment makes it easier to find replacement parts, do cross-border procurement, and share technical knowledge.

6. Customized Solutions

Not all users have the same needs, so future manufacturers will offer more customized solutions.

Whether it’s special requirements for a specific environment or unique performance needs, companies will tailor products to meet those demands.

For example, if you're working near the coast where salt corrosion is a big issue, a manufacturer might offer you a specially treated, highly corrosion-resistant model.

7. Enhanced Security

With the rise of smart grids and digital communication, cybersecurity is becoming a major concern.

Future voltage transformers will not only need to withstand physical damage but also protect against hacking and network attacks. Think of it like giving your equipment a strong suit of armor — so it stays safe and secure no matter what.

In Summary

The future of 35kV outdoor voltage transformers is all about being:
Smarter, more reliable, greener, smaller, and safer.

Technology will keep pushing this industry forward, helping meet the ever-changing demands of the power grid.

If you’re interested in any of these trends or want to dive deeper into a specific area, feel free to drop a comment or send me a message. I’d love to share more hands-on experience and insights.

Most DC molded-case circuit breakers use natural air arc extinction, and there are typically two arc extinguishing methods: one is conventional opening and closing, where the contacts axially stretch the arc, while the conductive circuit generates a magnetic field that bends and elongates the arc, pulling it lengthwise perpendicular to the arc axis. This not only increases the arc length but also induces lateral motion, enabling air cooling to achieve arc extinction.The other method involves the

Can AC and DC circuit breakers be used interchangeably?
First of all, it must be clarified: AC circuit breakers must not be used to replace DC circuit breakers in DC circuits!Due to differences in arc generation and extinction processes between AC and DC, AC and DC circuit breakers with the same rated values do not have identical capabilities when interrupting DC power. Using AC circuit breakers in place of DC ones, or mixing AC and DC breakers, is one of the main causes of protection miscoordination and unintended upstream tripping.Circuit breakers
