Oil & Gas Transformers
Reliable and safe dry type transformers for oil & gas industry
The optimal performance of one of the major players in the global energy economy, fossil fuels, depends also on the equipment that supports the floating or subsea unit.
TMC provides advanced dry-type transformers for the oil & gas industry, specifically engineered to meet the critical demands of offshore and onshore energy operations: maximum safety, efficiency, and environmental protection.
Why Dry-Type technology for oil & gas applications?
In the oil & gas sector, reliability and resilience are non-negotiable. TMC's dry transformers eliminate the risks typically associated with liquid-insulated systems, thanks to their self-extinguishing design and the absence of combustible components. This makes them the ideal solution for installations in hazardous and remote environments, where contamination and fire risks must be minimized.
These transformers are particularly suited for:
- Offshore drilling platforms and oil rigs.
- Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units.
- Petrochemical and gas processing plants.
- Onshore refineries and pump stations.
Our solutions help ensure stable power distribution even in extreme environmental conditions, including humidity, salinity, and pressure.
Features include:
- due to their typical location in coastal and oil & gas terminal sites, these installations require special protection against corrosion and environmental exposure. The TMC portfolio includes numerous references operating in such conditions, offering dry transformers with enclosures rated up to NEMA 6, ensuring complete protection against water, salt spray, and corrosive agents.
- Engineered air and water cooling systems for temperature stability.
- Compact designs suitable for limited-space offshore installations.
- Full compliance with US quality and safety standards, applicable globally.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Oil & Gas Transformers
Using TMC transformers with high-efficiency core and winding materials reduces energy losses across the process chain. This leads to better system efficiency, lower operating costs, and increased equipment uptime in energy-intensive oil and gas processes.
In upstream operations, TMC’s products power drilling rigs, production platforms, and FPSOs, providing reliable and explosion-proof energy distribution in offshore environments where space is limited and fire risk is high.
Midstream systems rely on transformers for compressor stations, LNG terminals, and pipeline monitoring systems. TMC’s portfolio offers compact, low-maintenance solutions that operate safely in remote or outdoor installations.
In downstream facilities such as refineries, chemical processing plants, and distribution centers, TMC transformers ensure stable energy delivery for critical systems — including motors, drives, and control equipment — while withstanding heat, dust, and corrosive chemicals.
Dry-type transformers do not contain flammable oil and are therefore ideal for ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 installations. Their fire-resistant insulation and sealed enclosures (NEMA 3R/ NEMA 6) reduce explosion risks in hazardous process areas.
Yes. TMC products can operate in areas with high ambient temperatures, high humidity, salty air, and aggressive chemicals: common conditions throughout oil and gas process facilities.
