SC(B)H15 Amorphous Dry Transformer Selection Guide

Amorphous-alloy cores cut no-load losses in low-load, long-running duty. This guide covers the selection inputs, typical configuration and the questions to settle before the datasheet is approved.
What this family covers
Amorphous-alloy cores cut no-load losses in low-load, long-running duty.
Amorphous-alloy cores have a disordered atomic structure that reduces hysteresis loss. The result is a very low no-load loss, which is valuable for transformers that spend long periods energised at low load. Fengguang supplies SC(B)H15 amorphous-alloy dry-type transformers for data centres, commercial buildings, utilities and renewable-energy auxiliary systems. The cast-resin insulation keeps the fire and maintena
How to select
Start with the load in kVA, the voltage class, the fault level and the site conditions. Then choose the loss level, cooling, winding material, tap range and enclosure. Do not select from a catalogue without those inputs.
Typical configuration
Most projects start from a standard SC(B)H15 Amorphous Dry Transformer platform and adapt the cooling, terminals, protection and finish. The approved datasheet fixes the guaranteed values.
Questions to settle before the datasheet
Confirm the load profile, voltage ratio, tap range, impedance, fault level, cooling stage, ambient, altitude, enclosure, corrosion class, termination and test scope. These are the inputs that change the design.
Acceptance checks
Check the nameplate data, routine test report, dimensions, weight, painting, accessories and packing against the approved drawing. For critical projects, add a witnessed test and a document review.
| Input | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Capacity | kVA and load profile |
| Voltage | Class, ratio and tap range |
| Losses | No-load and load loss |
| Cooling | ONAN/ONAF or AN/AF |
| Environment | Ambient, altitude, IP and corrosion |
FAQ
How do I choose a SC(B)H15 Amorphous Dry Transformer?
Start from maximum demand, voltage class, fault level and site conditions. Then compare losses, cooling, dimensions and protection as a system.
Can the transformer be customised?
Yes. Winding material, losses, cooling, terminals, enclosure and finish are project options, confirmed on the approved datasheet.
What should be in the quotation?
Guaranteed losses, impedance, tap range, cooling stage, dimensions, weight, test scope, documents and delivery basis.
What is the most common selection error?
Sizing on connected load, ignoring ambient/altitude, or comparing models only on purchase price instead of total owning cost.
