Pad-mounted transformers are designed to be weatherproof and suitable for outdoor use. While they are not completely waterproof in the sense that they can be submerged in water for extended periods, they are typically designed to withstand various weather conditions such as rain, snow, and high humidity.
The enclosures of pad-mounted transformers are often made of materials like steel or aluminum that are resistant to corrosion. Additionally, seals and gaskets are used to prevent water ingress into the transformer's sensitive components. These transformers are typically installed on a concrete pad that helps elevate them off the ground to prevent water damage.
It is important to note that while pad-mounted transformers are designed to be weather-resistant, they should not be submerged in water or installed in areas prone to flooding to ensure their proper functioning and longevity.
