Retrofit Project Overview

Project Profile

This project involves the construction of a new underground power distribution room for a large-scale urban complex comprising a shopping mall, high-rise office towers, an underground parking garage, a cinema, and supporting dining facilities. Classified as a high-occupancy area with "Level 1" power load requirements, the distribution room is located on the building's underground level. The initial plan to use traditional oil-immersed transformers presented issues such as potential oil leakage, fire hazards, a large footprint, complex operation and maintenance, and excessive noise, failing to meet fire safety and environmental regulations for underground structures. Instead, the project utilizes SCB13 epoxy resin-cast dry-type transformers as the primary distribution units. These transformers supply power for daily operations—including general power, lighting, central air conditioning, and fire safety systems—across the entire commercial complex, ensuring safe, uninterrupted operation around the clock. 

Pre-installation Challenges and Selection Rationale

Underground enclosed spaces have extremely strict fire safety requirements; oil-immersed transformers pose risks of oil fires and leakage-related pollution, failing to meet civil air defense and fire safety acceptance standards.

High-density areas demand low noise and environmental compliance; oil-immersed transformers generate significant noise and odors, easily leading to complaints.

Summer air conditioning loads are concentrated and volatile, creating high risks of temperature rise; the system requires robust overload capacity and precise temperature monitoring.

Underground space is limited, necessitating compact transformer units that allow for direct indoor floor-mounting and require no routine on-site inspections or maintenance.

High overall power supply reliability is required; prolonged outages for maintenance are unacceptable, and the system must feature safety protections and short-circuit resistance.
