Electrical grade cellulose pressboard sheets for solid insulation in oil-immersed power and distribution transformers
Electrical grade pressboard (also called transformer board or presspahn board) is a solid insulation material made from high-purity, long-fibre cellulose pulp. It is the primary solid insulation used inside oil-immersed power and distribution transformers.
Pressboard is used as barriers, spacers, cylinders, end rings and structural insulation. Its porous fibre structure absorbs transformer oil completely, and the oil-impregnated board gives high dielectric strength over the life of the transformer.
Hitech Insulation supplies pressboard as full sheets, cut-to-size strips and blanks, or as finished machined and moulded components made to customer drawings in our Chennai units. Uniform density, low shrinkage and consistent thickness keep electrical clearances and winding heights accurate.
We supply transformer manufacturers, repairers and OEMs in Tamil Nadu, across South and North India, and export to overseas customers.
