Cast resin transformer is a type of dry type transformer, which never uses any liquid for insulation and its primary & secondary windings are encapsulated with epoxy resin. Epoxy resin encapsulation resists the effect of moisture on winding materials. Thus, it offers good protection against adverse ambient conditions and can work at 100% humidity. Cast resin transformer offers various advantages such as fire safety, zero oil usage, eco-friendly, low maintenance, low installation cost, short time overload handling capacity, and others. It is used in various applications such as power generation, oil & gas, marine, chemical, renewable energy, and others.

Analyst Review
The demand for electricity fueled by increased construction renovation activities, increase in cross-country power transmission & distribution networks, replacement of old units, and mainstream adoption of renewable energy generation provide growth opportunities for the cast resin transformer market expansion.
The limitation of cast resin transformer over liquid-filled transformer is a major limiting factor in the adoption of dry type transformers. For the power and voltage rating, cast resin transformer is costlier than oil cooled transformer. In addition, the development of solid-state transformers is expected to hamper the market growth. On the contrary, cast resin transformers offer enhanced fire-retardant characteristics that make it ideal for installations in fire prone areas. Only cast resin transformers can be used in areas, such as multi-story or high-rise buildings, due to safety concerns.
