The VPI transformer market can be segmented based on winding into two categories: two winding and auto transformer. Two winding transformers are commonly used in various applications such as industries, inner-city substations, and underground substations. On the other hand, auto transformers are preferred for applications where step-up or step-down transformation is required.
Rating:
Based on rating, the VPI transformer market can be classified into three segments: transformers with a rating of ≤ 5 MVA, > 5 MVA to ≤ 30 MVA, and > 30 MVA. Transformers with a rating of ≤ 5 MVA are generally used in small-scale applications, while transformers with a rating of > 30 MVA are typically used in large-scale industrial applications or renewable generation projects.
Application:
The VPI transformer market can also be segmented based on application into industries, inner-city substations, indoor/underground substations, and renewable generation. Industries often require VPI transformers for reliable power distribution, while inner-city substations use them for efficient power transmission within urban areas. Indoor/underground substations prefer VPI transformers due to their compact design and environmental benefits. Renewable generation projects utilize VPI transformers to connect renewable energy sources to the grid.
