Product Overview

Oil duct strip (also called oil duct support strip or winding duct spacer) is a core insulating component for oil-immersed power and distribution transformers. It consists of precision-cut high-density pressboard strips uniformly bonded onto a base of diamond dotted paper (DDP) via thermal curing process.

The raised pressboard strips create continuous vertical oil ducts between winding layers, enabling transformer oil to circulate and dissipate heat generated by the winding. Meanwhile, the DDP base paper provides inter-layer electrical insulation and maintains fixed strip spacing to prevent displacement under short-circuit electrodynamic forces.

Our oil duct strips are made from 100% sulphate wood pulp electrical pressboard (G4 grade), pre-compressed for high density and low shrinkage. The diamond dot adhesive coating is formulated for high bond strength and full compatibility with mineral and ester dielectric oils, ensuring no contamination or degradation over long-term operation at 105°C (Class A insulation).

Product Highlights

  • High Mechanical Strength: Machine direction tensile strength up to 107.4 MPa, superior compressive performance vs traditional corrugated pressboard
  • Excellent Dielectric Performance: Dielectric breakdown up to 35.7 kV/mm in transformer oil, high purity for partial discharge free operation
  • Precision Dimension Control: Tight tolerance on thickness, width and strip pitch for consistent winding assembly
  • Superior Oil Impregnation: G4 grade sulphate wood pulp base with excellent oil absorption and dielectric compatibility
  • Multiple Strip Profiles: Rectangular, T-shape, trapezoidal and pigeon cauda strips available
  • Low Shrinkage: Pre-compressed pressboard with uniform fiber orientation, minimal dimensional change under thermal cycling
  • Certified Quality: Manufactured under ISO 9001, compliant with IEC 60641 standards
  • Full Customization: Custom slit widths, strip heights, pitches and roll lengths to match your winding design

Applications

  • Layer and section winding insulation in oil-immersed distribution transformers (10kV–35kV)
  • Winding oil ducts in power transformers and rectifier transformers (up to 110kV)
  • Oil cooling ducts in reactors and inductors
  • Inter-layer spacing and support in amorphous alloy transformers
  • Replacement and maintenance of transformer winding insulation systems
