Our Distribution Transformer Business Unit has developed an open skid style transformer solution for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) applications. This solution incorporates a 5,000kVA transformer, rated for increased ambient temperature operation, and outdoor rated MV switchgear - all mounted on a fully bunded galvanised steel base.
 
This arrangement provides BESS projects with a fully integrated and easy to install solution that offers a range of safety and eco-friendly features, such as transformer protection equipment and an oil-water separator system to prevent oil spills to the environment. In addition, all MV and LV connections are located and protected within the enclosed skid arrangement.
