Transformer System
Description
The transformer is designed with maximum dimensions that ensure it complies with the safety distances from live
parts (established by norm IEC67936-1) and between parts isolated to ground.
The transformer's dimensions will be such that it can enter and exit through the wind turbine tower door in case of
failure or when requiring replacement, through the removable transformer replacement tool designed to that effect.
NOTE:
The maximum permitted weight of the transformer is 3500 kg.
Figure 2: Transformer
The transformers installed in the Gamesa 850 kW wind turbines are of the encapsulated dry type for indoor
installation, continuous service and natural cooling.
The dry transformer concept refers to the fact that the windings are not cooled by means of any liquid. These are
air-cooled.
The term encapsulated refers to the fact that the high-voltage windings are embedded within a plastic or resin
reinforcement.
This reinforcement acts as insulation so that the insulation distances indicated in the above section can be safely
reduced.

Transformer System
Description
The transformer is located on the first tower platform, about 5 meters above ground level, bolted between two
plates that are also fixed to two parallel beams separated by 1026 mm. A third support point in the upper part,
consisting of a threaded, bolted rod fastened to the tower by a metal plate.
