Power Transformers

Since developing Korea's first 154 kV extra-high-voltage transformer in 1969, Hyosung Heavy Industries has been at the forefront of extra-high-voltage transformer technology, developing Korea's first 345 kV and 765 kV transformers in 1978 and 1992, respectively.

Hyosung Heavy Industries, which manufactures a variety of transformers with a maximum voltage of 765 kV and a maximum capacity of 1,500 MVA, offers both inner and outer-type products, allowing customers to choose from a vast selection.

As a world-class transformer brand that provides solutions for customers in over 70 countries by designing, manufacturing, and testing in accordance with each country's standards, we have manufactured more than 7,500 extra-high-voltage transformers at the Changwon Plant alone. Since the 1970s, when we began exporting transformers, our quality and service have been recognized by customers worldwide. Furthermore, our global production network, which includes local production bases in the US and China, is contributing to the development of global power grids.

We manufacture transformers for special applications, such as eco-friendly ester oil transformers, gas-insulated transformers, mobile transformers, phase-shifting transformers, and STATCOM transformers. We also provide products for diverse industries including railroads, electric furnaces, and data centers.

Special Transformers

Discover special transformers suitable for your field of application.

  • 01 Eco-friendly

    Ester oil transformers

    • It is eco-friendly as it is insulated with biodegradable natural ester oil or synthetic ester oil.
    • Due to the high flash point and fire point of transformer oil, the risk of fire is minimal (Fire Safety Class K, above 300℃).
    • It is possible to reduce the firewalls, oil collection facilities, and firefighting facilities, thereby decreasing substation construction costs and insurance premiums.
    • Through an explosion-proof design, it is safe for use in the city center and underground substations of buildings.
  • 02

    Gas-insulated transformers

    • Insulated with SF6 gas for excellent thermal and chemical stability (stable up to 500°C).
    • Since SF6 gas is non-explosive, there is no danger of fire or explosion.
    • Excellent cooling capability by water- cooled heat exchanger.
    • It ensures easy maintenance.
  • 03

    Mobile transformers

    • Our design and manufacturing services are customized to customer specifications.
    • We ensure rapid manufacturing and supply.
    • Assembly on site is not required.
    • It is exceptionally reliable.
  • 04

    Phase shifting transformers

    • It is connected in series with the transmission line to control the power flow of the transmission line by regulating the phase angle between the source and load terminals.
    • It can be used to connect power systems between countries or improving an unbalanced power flow in parallel transmission lines by varying the phase angle.
    • It helps ensure the economic feasibility, stability, and reliability of power systems.
  • 05

    STATCOM transformers

    • Utilizing large capacity inverter technology, power systems are controlled with high-speed precision.
    • It is designed and manufactured to be minimally impacted by harmonic current and DC current generated by large capacity inverters.
    • There are numerous advantages, including enhanced grid stability, increased transmission capacity, enhanced power quality, and reduced transmission costs.
  • 06

    Scott transformers

    • It is primarily used to power electric railways.
    • It resolves three-phase imbalance caused by single-phase load of the electric railway.
    • To obtain a single phase from three phases, a Scott connection is formed by two single phases, the primary and T.
    • Standard specifications include 30/40MVA, 45/60MVA, 60/80MVA, and 90/120MVA, etc.
  • 07

    Furnace transformers

    • It is designed with strong dielectric characteristics and high short circuit strength.
    • High reliability is ensured against frequent switching surges and short circuits that occur due to the operating characteristics.
    • Due to very large current at the low voltage side, a Bar-coil that can withstand high currents is used.
