Built for utility-scale solar, BESS and other 480 V generation systems, this 6500 kVA step-up transformer connects two inverter blocks—rated 3700 kVA and 2800 kVA—to a single 13.8 kV collector feeder. Each inverter block has its own 480Y/277 V winding and high-current terminal set, keeping the two low-voltage circuits separately connected inside one transformer.
For EPC contractors and plant owners, this double-split design eliminates the need for a separate step-up transformer for each inverter block and reduces the number of medium-voltage connection points. The unequal winding ratings match the actual capacity of the two inverter groups, while the outdoor conservator design and ONAN cooling support reliable operation without external cooling fans. The transformer is designed to IEC 60076 with a Dyn11,yn11 vector group.
- Single-Unit 6.5 MVA Step-Up Capacity: Consolidates dual low-voltage solar inputs into a single high-efficiency 13.8 kV grid connection, reducing substation footprint and equipment costs.
- 3700kVA + 2800kVA Double-Split Design: Flexibly pairs unequal inverter groups into one step-up transformer, eliminating the need to force identical block ratings across your solar array.
- High-Current Low-Voltage Interfaces: Built for massive current throughput, with LV inputs handling 4450.5 A and 3368.0 A continuous loads backed by heavy-duty 6000 A and 4500 A bushing assemblies.
- Conservator Oil Management System: Complete outdoor protection package—including oil conservator, moisture absorber, gas relay, and oil-level gauge—ensuring real-time condition monitoring and long-term oil preservation.

- Sector: Utility-Scale Solar Power Plants
Suitable applications:
Solar blocks using two 480Y/277 V inverter groups connected to a 13.8 kV collection network.
Why this transformer fits:
The 3700kVA and 2800kVA input windings combine unequal inverter-block capacities at one 6.5 MVA step-up point.
- Sector: Solar-Plus-Storage Plants
Suitable applications:
Hybrid plants combining a 480 V solar inverter block with a separate 480 V energy-storage converter block.
Why this transformer fits:
Separate input windings accommodate two source circuits while the shared 13.8 kV output reduces the number of medium-voltage connection points.
- Sector: Battery Energy Storage Systems
Suitable applications:
BESS projects using two 480Y/277 V PCS blocks feeding a 13.8 kV collector feeder.
Why this transformer fits:
The unequal 3700kVA and 2800kVA ratings support storage blocks with different output capacities while maintaining dedicated high-current interfaces.
- Sector: Industrial Distributed Generation
Suitable applications:
Industrial facilities combining two 480 V generation sources into a 13.8 kV plant distribution bus.
Why this transformer fits:
One transformer provides dual-source aggregation, medium-voltage step-up and outdoor ONAN operation in a single assembly.
