Ein solches Bild kann in vielen Projekten weltweit angetroffen werden, da den Station-Service-Transformatoren im Vergleich zu den gro\u00dfen, die in der N\u00e4he installiert sind, wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird. Der Artikel pr\u00e4sentiert sieben wertvolle Ratschl\u00e4ge zur Auswahl des richtigen Hilfstransformators.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ein Hilfstransformator, auch als Station-Service-Transformator bekannt, liefert die notwendigen Inhouse-Dienste an Umspannstationen, Kraftwerken oder Industrieanlagen.

Sieben Dinge, die man bei einem Hilfstransformator beachten sollte, sind die Gr\u00f6\u00dfe des Transformators, basierend auf der berechneten Last und einem zus\u00e4tzlichen 15-20% Spielraum; die Entscheidung \u00fcber die Spannungs- und Vektorgruppen; die Wahl der K\u00fchlmethode; die Entscheidung \u00fcber die Verwendung eines Lastabgriffs oder eines Abgriffs au\u00dferhalb des Stromkreises; der Vergleich der Verlustgarantien, da der Transformator st\u00e4ndig arbeitet; Punkt sechs beschreibt den Unterschied zwischen \u00f6lgetauchten und trockenen Transformatoren; und die Anforderung von IEC 60076-Testberichten.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-168\" src=\"https:\/\/subian-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7-Tips-for-Choosing-the-Best-Auxiliary-Transformer-for-Your-Project.webp\" alt=\"7 Tipps zur Auswahl des besten Hilfstransformators f\u00fcr Ihr Projekt\" width=\"1448\" height=\"1086\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-types\">Was ist ein Hilfstransformator und welche Typen gibt es?<\/h2>\n<p>Ein Hilfstransformator ist auch als Einheitshilfstransformator oder Station-Service-Transformator bekannt und wurde entwickelt, um die Hilfsanlagen der Umspannstation, des Kraftwerks oder der gro\u00dfen Industrieanlage zu versorgen. Er reduziert die Hauptbusspannung auf Niederspannungsverteilungsniveaus (typischerweise 35\/0,4 kV, 10\/0,4 kV und 6,6\/0,4 kV). Die bereitgestellte elektrische Energie wird zum Betrieb von Motoren, Heizung und Beleuchtung, zum Laden von Batterien und f\u00fcr Steuerungs-\/Schutzschaltungen verwendet. Da die Last f\u00fcr den Betrieb der Anlage jederzeit wichtig ist, ist diese Art von Ausr\u00fcstung f\u00fcr den Dauerbetrieb und einen hohen Lastfaktor ausgelegt \u2013 das bedeutet, dass ein Ausfall der Einheit den Betrieb der gesunden Anlage stoppen kann. Daher ist es notwendig, die Auswahl der Parameter des Hilfstransformators ernst zu nehmen.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Typ<\/th>\n<th>Typische Nennleistung<\/th>\n<th>K\u00fchlung \/ Form<\/th>\n<th>Am besten geeignet f\u00fcr<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00d6lgetaucht, selbstgek\u00fchlt (ONAN)<\/td>\n<td>50\u20132.500 kVA<\/td>\n<td>Mineral\u00f6l, Au\u00dfentank<\/td>\n<td>Au\u00dfendienst der Umspannstation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00d6lgetaucht mit Ventilatoren (ONAF)<\/td>\n<td>\u00dcber 1.000 kVA<\/td>\n<td>Mineral\u00f6l, Zwangsluft<\/td>\n<td>Hohe Lastfaktoren, hei\u00dfe Klimazonen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Trockentyp Gie\u00dfharz<\/td>\n<td>100\u20132.000 kVA<\/td>\n<td>Epoxidharz, Innenbereich<\/td>\n<td>Innenbereich, feuergef\u00e4hrdete Bereiche<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Doppelsekund\u00e4rwicklung<\/td>\n<td>Ma\u00dfgeschneidert<\/td>\n<td>Jeder K\u00fchlmodus<\/td>\n<td>Separate Motor- und Steuerungsversorgungen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mit Lastabgriff<\/td>\n<td>100\u20132.500 kVA<\/td>\n<td>Jeder K\u00fchlmodus<\/td>\n<td>Instabile Netzspannung<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"tip1\">Tipp 1: Gr\u00f6\u00dfe basierend auf gemessener Last, nicht auf Typenschild<\/h2>\n<p>Der h\u00e4ufigste Grund f\u00fcr das Versagen von Hilfstransformatoren ist Unterdimensionierung. Die Nennwerte der angeschlossenen Ger\u00e4te \u00fcbertreiben die tats\u00e4chliche Nachfrage, aber der Designer, der den Diversit\u00e4tsfaktor ignoriert, indem er den Nennwert aller angeschlossenen Lasten summiert, wird eine unn\u00f6tig gro\u00dfe und ineffiziente L\u00f6sung produzieren. Eine professionelle L\u00f6sung w\u00e4re, die Betriebslast, die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Anlauflast, die entweder der K\u00fchlventilator oder ein Kompressor ist, der 5-8 Mal die Menge der Betriebslast ben\u00f6tigt, und eine Marge von 15-20 % f\u00fcr zuk\u00fcnftiges Wachstum und saisonale Variationen zu ber\u00fccksichtigen. Wenn die Anlage wahrscheinlich bald automatisiert oder erweitert wird, w\u00e4re es der beste Weg, die tats\u00e4chliche Nachfrage \u00fcber eine Saison zu beobachten, bevor die erforderlichen kVA bestimmt werden. Ein Hilfstransformator mit einer Nennleistung von 50 kVA w\u00fcrde an einer kleinen Umspannstation 2.000 bis 4.000 kosten, w\u00e4hrend ein Transformator mit 80 kVA nicht viel mehr kosten w\u00fcrde, aber zus\u00e4tzlichen Spielraum schaffen w\u00fcrde.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tip2\">Tipp 2: Fixieren Sie das Spannungs-Paar und die Vektorgruppe<\/h2>\n<p>Das Spannungsverh\u00e4ltnis muss dem Busspannungsniveau der Anlage und dem Niederspannungspanel entsprechen. Es muss entschieden werden, ob Ihr Unternehmen 35\/0,4 kV, 10\/0,4 kV oder ein anderes Spannungsverh\u00e4ltnis vor Ort verwenden wird. Welches dieser Verh\u00e4ltnisse Sie auch w\u00e4hlen, es sollte in den Anlagen konstant gehalten werden, um Ersatzteile und elektrische Umspannstationen mit einem einheitlichen Muster zu haben. Die Kategorie des Spannungstransformators kann ebenso wichtig sein. Bei der Anfrage nach Unterst\u00fctzung f\u00fcr die Hilfslieferung der Umspannstation ist es vorzuziehen, Dyn11 zu w\u00e4hlen, da es den stabilen Neutralleiter f\u00fcr die einphasige Last und eine klare Phasenverschiebung bietet, dennoch kann es einige Anwendungen geben, die etwas anderes wie Dyn5 oder YNd11 gem\u00e4\u00df der Erdungspolitik und den Anforderungen f\u00fcr paralleles Arbeiten erw\u00e4hnen. Die Kategorie des Transformators sollte in der Bestellung angegeben und im regelm\u00e4\u00dfigen Bericht best\u00e4tigt werden, da das Ger\u00e4t mit der falschen Transformator-Kategorie mit einem Schutzabschaltung konfrontiert ist oder nicht parallel arbeiten kann.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Spannungs-Paar<\/th>\n<th>Typische Vektorgruppe<\/th>\n<th>Wo es verwendet wird<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>35\/0,4 kV<\/td>\n<td>Dyn11<\/td>\n<td>Gro\u00dfe Umspannstationen, Kraftwerke<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10\/0,4 kV<\/td>\n<td>Dyn11<\/td>\n<td>Verteilungsumspannstationen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>11\/0,4 kV<\/td>\n<td>Dyn11<\/td>\n<td>UK- und Commonwealth-Netzwerke<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6,6\/0,4 kV<\/td>\n<td>Dyn11 oder Dyn5<\/td>\n<td>Industrie- und \u00e4ltere Anlagenbusse<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>33\/0,4 kV<\/td>\n<td>Dyn5 oder ma\u00dfgeschneidert<\/td>\n<td>Besondere Erdungsschemata<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"tip3\">Tipp 3: Passen Sie den K\u00fchlmodus an die Aufgabe an<\/h2>\n<p>Hilfstransformatoren werden typischerweise kontinuierlich betrieben, wodurch die K\u00fchlklasse ein wichtiger bestimmender Faktor f\u00fcr die vorhandene Sicherheitsmarge bei hohen Temperaturen ist, wobei ONAN (\u00d6l nat\u00fcrlich Luft nat\u00fcrlich) die einfachste und unkomplizierteste Option ist, die f\u00fcr die meisten F\u00e4lle bis zu 1.000 kVA anwendbar ist.

Daher ist es wichtig, die Umgebungstemperaturen und H\u00f6hen anzugeben (zum Beispiel ist eine Basislinie 40\u00b0C Umgebungstemperatur und 1.000 m H\u00f6he, damit der Hersteller die Bewertungen entsprechend herabstuft.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Umgebungstemperatur<\/th>\n<th>Korrektur f\u00fcr ONAN-Bewertung<\/th>\n<th>Empfohlene Ma\u00dfnahme<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>40\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>100% des Typenschilds<\/td>\n<td>Standard-Designpunkt<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>45\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>~93\u201395%<\/td>\n<td>De-rate or add fans (ONAF)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>50\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>~85\u201388%<\/td>\n<td>De-rate, ONAF, or larger kVA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>55\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td>~78\u201382%<\/td>\n<td>Special high-ambient design<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Above 1,000 m altitude<\/td>\n<td>De-rate ~1% per 100 m over 1,000 m<\/td>\n<td>Confirm insulation and cooling<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"tip4\">Tip 4: Choose Tapping Arrangement Deliberately<\/h2>\n<p>The bus voltage level at a substation seldom is at the rated value; it varies from time to time depending on the load and network situation. Off-load tap changers (\u00b12 \u00d7 2.5% is normal) deal with variations that occur slowly and happen without any extra costs. But when the voltage levels fluctuate considerably during a day, on-load tap changers (OLTCs) allow the system to remain within tolerance through the course of the day without turning off the substation but with adding around 10-25% to the cost and requiring periodic maintenance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-169\" src=\"https:\/\/subian-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7-TIPS.webp\" alt=\"7 TIPS\" width=\"1448\" height=\"1086\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tip5\">Tip 5: Compare Guaranteed Losses, Not Just Price<\/h2>\n<p>Because the auxiliary transformer has a high load factor throughout the day, operating losses become an unavoidable cost. No-load loss (core loss) is incurred such as during no-load loss; load loss happens depending on the usage. Evaluate proposals based on the losses and compare them. At an average cost of power around $0.10-$0.15\/kWh, 500 W of no-load loss may cost around $440-$660 per year, resulting in a total cost of $11,000-$16,500 over 25 years of operation. Request no-load and load loss data from vendors in accordance with IEC 60076-1 and compare it.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>No-load loss difference<\/th>\n<th>Annual cost @ $0.10\/kWh<\/th>\n<th>Annual cost @ $0.15\/kWh<\/th>\n<th>25-year capitalized value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>100 W<\/td>\n<td>$88<\/td>\n<td>$131<\/td>\n<td>$2,200\u2013$3,300<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>300 W<\/td>\n<td>$263<\/td>\n<td>$394<\/td>\n<td>$6,600\u2013$9,900<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>500 W<\/td>\n<td>$438<\/td>\n<td>$657<\/td>\n<td>$11,000\u2013$16,400<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1,000 W<\/td>\n<td>$876<\/td>\n<td>$1,314<\/td>\n<td>$21,900\u2013$32,900<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"tip6\">Tip 6: Pick Oil-Immersed or Dry-Type for the Site<\/h2>\n<p>Insulation systems functions according to the physical environment. Most often outdoor substations use oil-filled transformers. This technology is rugged, weatherproof and easy to maintain, the oil cools and insulates. Indoor installations, underground vaults and places with fire hazards (close to control rooms and people\u2019s facilities) use the dry types of cast resin transformers that do not require oil containment together with very low fire risk and less maintenance. The cost of cast resin transformers can be 20 \u2013 40 % higher than that of oil-filled counterparts, but the effectiveness of elimination of fire walls, oil pits and dealing with oil can make the issue swing back towards dry transformers in case of the necessity of locating a transformer inside according to fire code.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tip7\">Tip 7: Demand IEC 60076 Test Documentation<\/h2>\n<p>The testing report serves as the only conclusive proof that the item in terms of its specifications meets the required standards. It is necessary to ask for a standard test report according to the standards of IEC 60076 detailing the voltage ratio, vector group, resistance of windings, impedance and losses in the form of load loss, no-load loss, and current in addition to the dielectric tests. For critical projects, the type test report (test of temperature rise, test of short-circuit strength according to IEC 60076-5, sound level) and, if required by the project, a witnessed test or inspection at the factory performed by a third party should be requested. It is crucial to make sure that the test report is sent within the shipment for the customs procedure.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mistakes\">Common Specification Mistakes to Avoid<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Mistake<\/th>\n<th>Konsequenz<\/th>\n<th>Fix<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Under-rated kVA from nameplate arithmetic<\/td>\n<td>Overheating, tripping, short service life<\/td>\n<td>Use logged demand plus 15\u201320% margin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrong vector group on the order<\/td>\n<td>Protection misoperation, parallel-running failure<\/td>\n<td>Confirm Dyn11\/Dyn5 with the station scheme<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ignoring ambient temperature<\/td>\n<td>Excess temperature rise in hot climates<\/td>\n<td>De-rate per datasheet or raise cooling class<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Choosing OLTC where off-circuit taps suffice<\/td>\n<td>Unnecessary cost and maintenance<\/td>\n<td>Match tap type to actual voltage variation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Accepting a bid without loss guarantees<\/td>\n<td>Hidden lifetime operating cost<\/td>\n<td>Require IEC 60076 loss figures and capitalize them<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Skipping the test report check<\/td>\n<td>Undetected manufacturing defects<\/td>\n<td>Mandate routine test report before shipment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-170\" src=\"https:\/\/subian-electric.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Common-Specification-Mistakes-to-Avoid.webp\" alt=\"Common Specification Mistakes to Avoid\" width=\"1448\" height=\"1086\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"brands\">Top-Marken und Preisspannen<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Marke<\/th>\n<th>Land<\/th>\n<th>Product focus<\/th>\n<th>Indikative Preisspanne (US$)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>ABB<\/td>\n<td>Schweiz\/Schweden<\/td>\n<td>Full-range station service transformers<\/td>\n<td>$4.000\u2013$60.000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Siemens<\/td>\n<td>Deutschland<\/td>\n<td>Utility and industrial auxiliary units<\/td>\n<td>$3.500\u2013$55.000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Schneider Electric<\/td>\n<td>Optimierungsma\u00dfnahmen in der Praxis<\/td>\n<td>Dry-type and cast resin units<\/td>\n<td>$2,500\u2013$40,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hitachi Energie<\/td>\n<td>Schweiz<\/td>\n<td>Utility-grade auxiliary transformers<\/td>\n<td>$4,500\u2013$70,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eaton<\/td>\n<td>USA<\/td>\n<td>Commercial and light industrial units<\/td>\n<td>$2,000\u2013$35,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Jiangsu Subian Electric Power<\/td>\n<td>China<\/td>\n<td>Oil-immersed and dry-type, custom vector groups<\/td>\n<td>$2,000\u2013$35,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The price ranges are indicative for transformers with ratings of between 50kVA and 2,500kVA and will depend on a number of factors including the losses, vector group, and additional features that may be included.

A distribution transformer provides power to consumers \u2014 residences, stores, small factories \u2014 along the grid. An auxiliary transformer supplies power to the systems within a power plant or substation \u2014 control, protection, lighting, cooling, and battery charging. Since its load keeps the plant functioning, an auxiliary transformer often operates at a higher load factor than a distribution transformer and is designed with greater consideration for losses and reliability.<\/p>\n<h3>What kVA rating is typical for a station service transformer?<\/h3>\n<p>Having an auxiliary load requirement. A small distribution substation will likely only require around 50\u2013200 kVA for its auxiliaries, while a large EHV substation or power plant may have several units varying from 1,000\u20132,500 kVA, sometimes featuring dual secondaries for motors and control feeds. Select a size based on the actual auxiliary load plus 15\u201320% margin instead of following the rule of thumb.<\/p>\n<h3>Can an auxiliary transformer be installed indoors?<\/h3>\n<p>Sure. When it comes to indoor installation, it is more advisable to use a dry-type cast resin auxiliary transformer since it is not subject to an oil containment requirement, has a low probability of fire, and features lower maintenance needs. In the case of outdoor substations, oil-immersed unit are practically always used. The insulation system&#8217;s selection should not rely on the rule of thumb; it should depend on site characteristics and fire code requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>Should the auxiliary transformer have an on-load tap changer?<\/h3>\n<p>Only if your bus voltage changes enough to affect the 0.4 kV supply do you need an OLTC. Off-circuit taps (\u00b12 x 2.5%) are effective in dealing with slow variations in voltage at no extra cost. An OLTC increases the system price and running costs by 10-25%, but it protects vulnerable control electronics in unstable networks, where one outage is usually worth the cost incurred.<\/p>\n<h3>Does Subian provide test reports with auxiliary transformers?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely. All auxiliary transformers of Subian come with a standard test report before shipment according to the IEC 60076 which is inclusive of tests such as the ratio, vector group, impedance, losses, and dielectric tests. It is possible to arrange for other types of test reports required for projects such as witnessed tests and third-party inspection before the order is finalized.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"references\">Referenzen<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/webstore.iec.ch\/publication\/287\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IEC 60076-1 \u2014 Power Transformers: General<\/a> \u2014 the governing standard for rating, losses, and testing of auxiliary transformers.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/webstore.iec.ch\/publication\/293\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IEC 60076-5 \u2014 Ability to Withstand Short Circuit<\/a> \u2014 the verification standard for short-circuit robustness of station service units.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/webstore.iec.ch\/publication\/290\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IEC 60076-3 \u2014 Insulation Levels and Dielectric Tests<\/a> \u2014 defines insulation and test requirements referenced in RFQs.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nema.org\/standards\/view\/nema-tp-1-2022\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NEMA TP-1 \u2014 Energy Efficiency for Distribution Transformers<\/a> \u2014 the efficiency benchmark used in North American loss evaluation.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eaton.com\/us\/en-us\/products\/transformers.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eaton \u2014 Transformer Product Range<\/a> \u2014 representative manufacturer documentation for comparison.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ul.com\/resources\/ul-1561-standard-for-safety-dry-type-general-purpose-power-transformers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UL 1561 \u2014 Dry-Type Transformer Safety Standard<\/a> \u2014 safety listing relevant for indoor and dry-type auxiliary units.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\">Fazit<\/h2>\n<p>The auxiliary transformer is the silent workhorse of any dependable substation, and its proper selection is based on seven key decisions: to define the size taking into account the load requirements and allowing 15-20% overheads; to fix the voltage pair and the vector group; to provide the match of the cooling mechanism with the conditions of use; to be careful while choosing the tap connection; to compare the costs of the capitalized losses; and to select either the oil-immersed unit or dry-type based on the requirements of the installation site; and to ask for IEC 60076 test results. All decisions can be practically verified, and it is the totality of the decisions that allows to differentiate a 25-year station from a station failing in the initial summer.
