ii) Machineries
a] Conductor Insulation
b] Inter turn insulation
c] Major insulation (i.e., distance between Core & Coil, Coil to Coil
& Coil to Tanks]
d] Suitable current density and flux density of the chosen
conductor and core material respectively.
e] Proper sizes of leads for LV & HV conductors (suitable to the
capacity of the transformers]
f] Proper sheet thickness for tank both body and lid.
g] Provision of proper cooling surface
h] Equalizing the heights of HV & LV windings
i] Proper fixing arrangement of Core Coil assembly to arrest the
Unnecessary movement while transit.
b) Raw-materials-
b] Transformer Oil
Transformer Oil is very important material as it provides
insulation to high voltages by completely surrounding the
transformer windings and act as insulation between tank and
windings and core and windings and all earth parts & electrically
conducting material. Hence its BDV is one of the main
properties. Next property is resistivity, which is also very
important as the voltages are very high. Tan δ (dielectric
constant) it is a property connected with Capacitance created by
oil between the earth and electrical parts. Hence these
properties are to be maintained while accepting the transformer
oil.
d] Press Board
Press Board has also many important properties like 1) electric
strength 2) Moisture content 3) Tensile Strength 4) Oil
absorption 5) Flexibility 6) Conductivity of organic extract.
All these properties are very important and which will add to the
performance of the transformer
c) Production Process-
1) Trained manpower –
There are many important processes in the manufacture of
transformers like Brazing, Welding, Winding, Core Assembly,
Connections (delta and star) etc,
1 Winding Machineries – LV
2 Winding Machineries – HV
3 Insulation Cutters
4 Drilling machinery etc.
With the help of vacuum impregnating chamber the full moisture in the
transformer is removed and IR value is maintained which in turn will
increase the life of the transformer.
