FAQ
Q: What corrosion test standard does the housing meet?
A: ASTM B117 salt spray – 500 hours with ≤2mm creepage. Coating certified to C5-H per ISO 12944-6.
Q: What is the actual steel thickness?
A: Base steel 2.0mm nominal. Coating adds 120–160μm.
Q: Can this 160 kVA Transformer With Robust Housing Protective Design be buried or submerged?
A: No. IP54 is not submersible. Designed for pad-mounted outdoor installation.
Q: How is the 20-year life validated?
A: ISO 12944 durability for C5 coating (15–25 years) plus insulation aging model with 55K temperature rise.
Q: Are replacement gaskets available?
A: Yes. Silicone rubber gasket kit (part SGOB-160-HSGKT) from Shanghai. Lead time 7 days.
Q: What export documentation is provided?
