32 Units of SCB13-2500kVA Dry-Type Transformers for a 50MW Data Center in the Netherlands
Project Overview
HBTP supplied 32 units of SCB13-2500kVA/10kV dry-type transformers for a 50MW hyperscale data center in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The facility serves as a key node for European cloud computing and content delivery networks.
Project Background
Amsterdam is one of Europe's leading data center hubs due to its strategic location, excellent fiber connectivity, and favorable climate for free cooling. This 50MW facility requires highly reliable, fire-safe power distribution with N+1 redundancy throughout the electrical infrastructure.
Customer Requirements
Critical requirements included: dry-type construction for indoor installation, F1 fire resistance class, low partial discharge (≤10 pC), high efficiency (SCB13), 10kV/0.4kV voltage ratio, compliance with Eurocode and CE marking, and 24/7 reliability with minimal maintenance.
Our Solution
HBTP supplied SCB13-series cast resin dry-type transformers with epoxy-insulated windings. The F1 fire resistance rating ensures self-extinguishing properties with no toxic gas emission, critical for data center environments. Low partial discharge levels extend insulation life and reduce maintenance requirements.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | SCB13-2500/10 |
| Capacity | 2500 kVA |
| Voltage Ratio | 10 / 0.4 kV |
| Insulation | Cast Resin / F1 |
| Efficiency | SCB13 (≥99.2%) |
| Partial Discharge | ≤ 10 pC |
Quality & Testing
Each transformer underwent routine and type tests per IEC 60076-11, including temperature rise, impulse withstand, partial discharge, and sound level measurements. All units were CE marked and accompanied by Declaration of Conformity documents.
Delivery & Installation
The 32 units were delivered in sequenced batches to match the data center's phased commissioning. HBTP engineers provided on-site support for initial energization and conducted thermal imaging inspections during the first 72 hours of operation.
Project Outcomes
The data center achieved Tier III certification with the HBTP transformers playing a critical role in the reliable power distribution infrastructure. No unplanned outages related to transformer performance have been recorded since commissioning.
