The utility model discloses a dry-type transformer suitable for being arranged in a metalclad withdraw swithchgear. The dry-type transformer comprises a transformer body, an upper clamping piece and a lower clamping piece, wherein the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the transformer body in a one-to-one correspondence manner. The dry-type transformer is characterized in that the left and right sides of the upper clamping piece and the left and right sides of the transformer body are respectively welded with a steel plate; the left and right sides of the transformer body are respectively provided with an insulating plate; each insulating plate is vertically arranged; the height of each insulating plate is equal to the distance between the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece; the upper and lower parts of each insulating plate are respectively connected with the corresponding steel plates; the distance between each insulating plate and the corresponding side surface of the transformer body is at least 25mm. The dry-type transformer is suitable for being arranged in the metalclad withdraw swithchgear with limited size and capable of solving the problem of insufficient safe distance between the transformer and the metalclad withdraw swithchgear.
