The document summarizes a software product called Transformation速 that automates the design process for distribution transformers. Key points:
1. Transformation速 automates the design of pole mount and ground mount transformers from 200-10,000 KVA, including optimizing cooling calculations, standardizing part arrangements, and ensuring electrical clearances.
2. The software aims to support growing demand, standardize designs, optimize the design process, eliminate approximations, and link quotations to contracts and manufacturing.
3. It takes customer specifications and parameters as input to find and modify existing transformer models or design new models according to requirements and output BOMs, drawings, and documentation.
3. Product Specification
Design Automation of two types of transformer
o Pole Mount Transformer o Ground Mount Transformer (200 to 10000 KVA)
(Up to 500 KVA )
-With Panel Cooling -With Fin Cooling
(ONAN / ONAF)
5. The Need for Transformation速
