45 kva transformer dimensions
The dimensions of a 45 kVA transformer vary depending on the **model, type (dry-type/oil-cooled), protection class, and manufacturer**.
The following are common dimension references:
I. Typical Dimension Parameters
1. Isolation Transformer (3-phase, 415V to 208V, IP24 protection)
- **Aluminum Wire Winding**
- **Open Type**: 500×330×480 mm (Length×Width×Height), installation dimension 340×190 mm
- **Protective Type**: 455×660×710 mm
- **Copper Wire Winding**
- **Open Type**: 440×350×420 mm, installation dimension 300×200 mm
- **Protective Type**: 420×610×610 mm
2. Dry-Type Distribution Transformer (600V to 208Y/120V)
- **Jefferson Model 424-7219-881**:
32×27×21 inches (approximately 813×686×533 mm), with a weight of approximately 2000 pounds
3. Low-Voltage Distribution Transformer (480V to 208Y/120V, NEMA 3R protection)
- **wankong Transformers**:
26×21.5×28.5 inches (approximately 660×546×724 mm), with a weight of 420 pounds

4. Rental-Type Transformer (480V to 208V, with circuit breaker)
- **Cat Energy Rental**:
32×44×38 inches (approximately 813×1118×965 mm), with a weight of 560 pounds

II. Factors Affecting Dimensions
1. **Protection Class**:
- The open type (without a casing) has the smallest dimensions, and the protective type (such as IP24, NEMA 3R) requires additional space.
2. **Winding Material**:
- Copper wire transformers are usually more compact than aluminum wire ones (for example, the ATO copper wire model is 10% to
15% smaller than the aluminum wire model).
3. **Additional Functions**:
- Models with wheels, circuit breakers, or cooling fans are larger in size (for example, the Aggreko rental model is 5×5×5 feet, approximately 1.5m³).
III. Selection Suggestions
- **Industrial Applications**: Give priority to referring to the dimensions of the protective type (such as 600 to 700mm in height) to ensure
heat dissipation and mechanical protection.
- **Indoor Installation**: The open-type transformer saves more space, but ventilation gaps need to be reserved (it is recommended to
leave a space of 200mm around it).
- **Rental Scenarios**: Pay attention to the transportation dimensions (for example, for the Cat model, the width of the forklift handling
passage needs to be considered).
**Note**: The specific dimensions should be subject to the **manufacturer's model manual**. It is recommended to provide parameters
such as the voltage level and protection requirements to confirm with the supplier.
