18 Units of SCB13-1250kVA Dry-Type Transformers for Edge Data Centers in Singapore

Project Overview

HBTP supplied 18 units of SCB13-1250/10 transformers for a network of edge computing data centers for low-latency services in Singapore. The project represents a significant deployment in the edge data center sector, requiring transformers engineered for reliable operation under demanding conditions.

Project Background

Edge data centers are deployed close to end-users to minimize latency for applications like 5G, IoT, and real-time analytics. This project established 6 edge data center sites across Singapore, each requiring compact, reliable power distribution in tropical high-humidity conditions.

Customer Requirements

Our Solution

HBTP supplied its SCB13-series transformers, engineered specifically for edge data center applications. The high-quality CRGO silicon steel core with step-lap mitered joints minimizes no-load losses, while copper windings provide enhanced short-circuit withstand capability and long service life.

Quality & Testing

All units passed humidity cycling tests to verify performance in tropical conditions. Routine tests included winding resistance, turns ratio, no-load loss, load loss, and partial discharge measurements. Sound level testing confirmed ≤55 dB(A) for urban deployment.

Delivery & Installation

The 18 units were distributed across 6 edge sites, with 3 units per site for N+1 redundancy. HBTP provided installation support and training for the facilities management team operating multiple sites.

Project Outcomes

All 18 transformers were successfully energized and are operating at rated capacity. The project was completed on schedule, and the customer has reported excellent performance with no unplanned outages attributed to transformer equipment. HBTP's reliable power distribution solution has contributed to the project's overall success and operational efficiency.
