Bitcoin mining operations are primarily concentrated in North America. These operations require power transformers to supply electricity to Bitcoin miners. Common types include desktop transformers, three-phase power transformers, and high-voltage substation transformers. Let's delve into each type in detail.
Pad Mounted Transformer
The pad-mounted transformer is the most commonly used type for Bitcoin mining in North America due to its safety, reliability, efficiency, and ease of installation. The high and low-voltage bushings, along with various instruments, valves, fuses, load switches, and tap changers, are installed in a line entry compartment secured with a padlock. This setup ensures dustproof, rainproof, and theft-proof properties, enhancing security. These transformers can be installed both indoors and outdoors and are often utilized with distribution cabinets and switchgear to provide high-efficiency and stable power for mining machines while safeguarding mining equipment.
Send Inquiry NowDaelim Transformer currently has two batches of pad-mounted transformers specially designed for Bitcoin mines, ready to be shipped soon. Let's delve into their details:
We have a batch of 10 units of pad-mounted transformers prepared for shipment to the United States for Bitcoin mining. These transformers are designed and manufactured in full compliance with IEEE C57.12.34 standards. They feature a loop feed configuration, offering a crucial advantage in Bitcoin mining operations. In case of channel failure, the other channel seamlessly takes over without any downtime, ensuring uninterrupted power supply—a critical requirement for Bitcoin mining. Operating at a primary voltage of 34.5kV and a secondary voltage of 415V, these transformers boast a High Voltage Compartment equipped with 6 HV bushings, a 4-position load break switch, three bayonet fuses, and a 5-position tap changer. The Low Voltage Compartment is equipped with various gauges and four 10-hole low-voltage terminals for precise monitoring and connection.

In just a week, these transformers will be shipped to Kansas, USA, to power a local 20MW Bitcoin mining facility.
Now, let me introduce you to a specially designed pad-mounted transformer also used in Bitcoin mines. Unlike the aforementioned design, this transformer features a side-mounted LV bushing design located outside the transformer tank, facilitating connection with switchgear. In North American Bitcoin mining sites, the pad-mounted transformer, together with the switchgear, is installed on the skid base. These 12 units of pad-mounted transformers, rated at 2550kVA with primary voltage of 24.94kV delta and secondary of 415GrdY/240V, will also be shipped to the United States soon to provide power for Bitcoin mining farms.

Three Phase Power Transformer
The three-phase power transformer is another common type utilized in Bitcoin mining farms, differing from the pad-mounted transformer in appearance and design. Unlike pad-mounted transformers, the high and low voltage bushings, instruments, and valves of three-phase power transformers are typically exposed, without fuses and switches. This design offers greater flexibility, allowing customization according to the specific installation requirements of the application scenario. Bushings can be either top-mounted or side-mounted, with the side-mounted bushing position selectable from the front, left, back, or right sides of the transformer.
Contact Daelim TransformerThe side-mounted bushing design often necessitates terminal enclosures. There are three common terminal enclosure types for three-phase power transformers: flange, throat, and air terminal chamber. Their sizes can be customized based on project-inquiry.

These transformers are engineered with sustainability in mind, utilizing biodegradable vegetable oil as their insulating fluid. Enhanced with the KNAN cooling method and equipped with a dedicated set of fans, they ensure efficient heat dissipation even under demanding conditions.
The high and low voltage bushings of these transformers feature a side-mounted design. The low voltage bushing is positioned on the left side of the transformer, and the terminal enclosure is of the throat type. On the other hand, the high voltage bushing is located on the right side of the transformer, with the terminal enclosure being of the air terminal chamber type with full height. The picture below depicts on-site feedback from customers following the installation of 90-unit transformers.
Manufactured in strict adherence to IEEE Std C57.12.36 and subjected to exhaustive factory testing according to IEEE standards, these transformers offer unwavering reliability and durability. Additionally, they hold UL listing certification and comply with all pertinent IEEE regulations and local ordinances, underscoring their commitment to safety and regulatory compliance.
HV Substation Transformer
In the realm of large-scale Bitcoin mining, where power consumption is paramount, the demand for electricity prompts investors to construct their substations, thereby mitigating operational costs. High Voltage (HV) substation transformers play a pivotal role in this landscape, facilitating the transmission of electrical energy from power plants to the mining sites.
In 2022, Daelim Transformer fulfilled an order for two 66 kV 12MVA HV substation transformers destined for a Canadian Bitcoin mining farm. These transformers, tailored for 66 kV substations, boast a power rating of 12 MVA, with high voltage set at 66 kV and low voltage at 12.47Y/7.2 kV. Configured with a Dyn1 connection group, these double-winding transformers adhere to IEEE and CSA standards.
The high-voltage bushing of these transformers adopts a top-mounted, polymer-type design, while the low-voltage bushing is side-mounted, porcelain spade type. Equipped with electric shock-resistant instruments and meters, they enable remote monitoring of the transformer's operational status, streamlining maintenance and operation processes.
