Manufacturer family/application source. ABB documents mining electrical infrastructure and TXtreme harsh-environment distribution transformers. The 5000 kVA, 13.8 kV entry is a mining-duty family envelope and does not certify a particular underground hazardous-area enclosure. Exact order code, guaranteed losses, dimensions, insulation level, cooling stage, winding material and project options must be confirmed with the OEM before procurement or an SLD study.
