What should I do if the transformer is too large and the mechanical equipment cannot be installed?

If a transformer is too large to fit into a mechanical device, there are usually several solutions:

1.*Redesigned transformer**:Contact the transformer manufacturer to see if it is possible to customize a transformer that is more appropriately sized to meet the space constraints of the mechanical equipment. This may include a more compact coil design, a different winding layout, or the use of a smaller core.

2.*Modify mechanical equipment**:Depending on the size of the transformer, consider modifying the internal layout of the mechanical equipment to accommodate the size of the transformer. This may require a redesign of parts of the structure or the movement of other components to create enough space to install the transformer.

3.*Externally mounted transformer**:If the internal space of the mechanical equipment is not sufficient to accommodate the transformer, and neither of the above options is feasible, the transformer can be considered to be installed on the outside of the mechanical equipment. This will require additional distribution boxes or protective measures to guarantee safety and reliability.

4.*Different types of transformers**:Space constraints can sometimes be solved by choosing a different type of transformer. For example, use a toroidal transformer instead of a traditional EI transformer, or use a core transformer, etc.

5.*Uses multiple small capacity transformers**:If one large transformer cannot be installed, consider using multiple small capacity transformers to operate in parallel or in series to achieve the required total output capacity, provided that doing so does not affect the performance and safety of the electrical system.

Each solution has its pros and cons and may introduce additional costs or have an impact on system performance, so it should be carefully considered before making a decision. In these cases, consulting technical support from equipment manufacturers and transformer vendors is a good place to start, and they are usually able to provide the best solution for your specific application needs.
