TYPES OF CAST RESIN TRANSFORMER TESTING
A cast resin transformer is a type of transformer that has outstanding features not use liquid to cool the coil but by air.
To make sure the quality and safety operation of the transformer, Users need to check and test them before operation and after operating for a long time. Tests help users easily detect some signs of damage.
