Introduction to Transformers
DEFINITION:
A transformer is a device with two or more stationary electrical circuits that
are conductively disjointed but magnetically coupled time varying magnetic
field and is used for transferring power one circuit to another by means of
electromagnetic induction at the same frequency. A transformer consists of
the following circuits.
NECESSITY:
Electrical energy generated at generating stations is transported to remote
load centres. Between generating station and consumers we have
transmission, sub transmission and distribution levels of voltage. Since the
long distance transmission at high voltage is cheap and low voltages are
required for utility purpose, the voltage levels goes on decreasing from the
transmission system to the distribution system. For this high voltages and
low voltages transformer is necessary in transmission and distribution
system.
A transformer consists of the following circuits
Magnetic circuit
Comprising limbs (cores), yokes and clamping structures. This offers low
reluctance path for magnetic flux.
Electrical circuit
Comprises of the primary, secondary and territory windings. The primary is
the winding, which receives electric power and secondary, which may
deliver it. These coils are wound on laminated core of magnetic material.

Dielectric circuit
Consisting of insulation in different forms and used at different places in the

transformer (i.e. core to LV, LV to HV etc.).

Working principle:
The physical basis of a transformer is mutual inductance between two
circuits linked by common magnetic flux through a path of low reluctance. A
transformer can rise or lower the voltage with a corresponding decrease or
increase in current. In its simplest form, a transformer consists of two
conducting coils having a mutual inductance. The primary is the winding,
which receives electric power, and the secondary is the one which may
deliver it. The coils are wound on a laminated core of magnetic material.
The two coils possess high mutual inductance. If one coil is connected to a
source of alternating voltage, an alternating flux is set upon the laminated
core, most of which is linked up with the other coil in which it produces
mutually induced emf (electromotive force) according the Faradays laws
electromagnetic induction, i.e.

e =M di/dt
Where, e =induced emf M = mutual inductance If the second circuit is
closed, a current flows in it and so electric energy is transferred from the
first coil to the second coil.

Induction law
The voltage induced across the secondary coil may be calculated from
Faraday's law of induction, which states that:

Where Vs is the instantaneous voltage, Ns is the number of turns in the


secondary coil and is the magnetic flux through one turn of the coil. If the
turns of the coil are oriented perpendicularly to the magnetic field lines, the
flux is the product of the magnetic flux density B and the area A through
which it cuts. The area is constant, being equal to the cross-sectional area of
the transformer core, whereas the magnetic field varies with time according
to the excitation of the primary. Since the same magnetic flux passes through

both the primary and secondary coils in an ideal transformer, the


instantaneous voltage across the primary winding equals

Taking the ratio of the two equations for Vs and Vp gives the basic equation
for stepping up or stepping down the voltage

Np/Ns is known as the turns ratio, and is the primary functional


characteristic of any transformer. In the case of step-up transformers, this
may sometimes be stated as the reciprocal, Ns/Np. Turns ratio is commonly
expressed as an irreducible fraction or ratio: for example, a transformer
with primary and secondary windings of, respectively, 100 and 150 turns is
said to have a turns ratio of 2:3 rather than 0.667 or 100:150.
GENERAL CLASSIFICATIONS:
1. Power Transformers:
These are large transformers generally used to step up voltage at generating
stations and to step down voltage at substations for supply of power to
distribution systems. A transformer rated over 1600 KVA is generally termed
as power transformer.
2. Distribution Transformer:
These are used to lower voltage to a suitable level (440 volts) for use in
street distribution cables, factories and domestic distribution.
3. Special transformer:

Instrument transformer
Furnace transformer
Rectifier transformer
Welding transformer
Booster transformer etc.
These are further classified as
1. Oil filled transformers: these are the one in which windings and core
immersed in insulating oil.
2. Dry type transformers: in dry type transformers they are not placed in
oil.

CONSTUCTIONAL FEATURES:
The type of transformer core construction depends on the technical
particulars of the transformer and transport considerations. In general it is
preferable to accommodate the windings of all the three phases in a single
core frame. For single phase and three phase transformers, the cores can be
broadly classified as
1. Single phase three limbed core.
2. Single phase two limbed core.
3. Three phase three limbed cored.
4. Three phase five limbed core

For building the transformer cores, lamination sheets of different widths


and packet heights are needed. Laminations are produced by the
following operations.
1. Core slitting:
The manufacturing schedule may include cores of different diameters
and different types of constructions necessitating slitting laminations in
many widths and lengths. CRGOS rolls cannot be ordered in so many
different widths and quantities. These rolls are available in standard
widths of 790, 840, 1000 etc. For slitting operation, some widths can be
combined together by suitably adjusting the cutter distances in the
slitting machine. It is evident that full width of roll cannot be utilized at
any time of slitting operation and the leftover material will vary from
stage to stage and depending on the widths selected in combination
during the process of slitting. The meticulous care in planning is
imperative to minimize wastage of core steel.
2. Core cutting:
Different shapes and sizes of laminations are needed for different types of
transformer cores. Hence, in this operation a cropping machine is for
cutting laminations from slotted rolls. Depending upon the shape of
cutting these laminations are grouped into following sets.
1. ABCD
2. PQR
3. PQRS

3. Piercing:
The yoke punching (laminations) usually need holes for bolting the yoke
laminations. These holes are punched after the cropping operation by
suitably adjusting the hole piercing positions in the piercing machine and
selecting the right piercing tool for having specified hole punch size. In
some cases cores are also constructed without yoke bolts.
4. Deburring:
During the process of slitting, cutting and piercing of laminations, the cut
edges get some burrs. These burrs occur mainly during the cutting
operation and are due to following reasons: 1.Shearing blades blunt2.More
clearance between blades3.V-notch tool blunt Presence of burrs impairs the
stacking factor, resulting in gaps, cut into the insulation coatings and bridge
adjacent laminations there by increasing the eddy current losses. These
burrs are removed bypassing the laminations through debarring operations.
5. Annealing and Varnishing:
Annealing is a process of heating and subsequent cooling gradually. During
the process of slitting, debarring, cutting, handling etc., mechanical stresses
are developed inside the laminations that disturb the original grain
orientation and thereby increase the iron loss. This problem is eliminated by
annealing the laminations in roller hearth furnace or batch annealing
furnace at temperature of 810c with a tolerance of 10c preferably in a
neutral atmosphere zone (N2) and subsequently cooled by blast air. The
glass film and phosphate coating uniformly coated on both sides of the
lamination sheets serves as surface insulation. Therefore the laminations
withstand stress relief annealing, without deterioration in its adhesion or

electrical insulation valve, at temperatures upto840c.for this reason we


maintain annealing temperature to less than840c.If the insulation coatings
at the edges are scratched during deburring process or extra varnish
coating is desired, the laminations are processed in a varnishing plant,
which provides a thin coating of varnish and quickly dried up at high
temperatures.
6. Core assembly:
Core building from the finished lamination sheets is done in horizontal
position on specially raised platforms. At first the clamp plates and end
frame structure of one side of the core assembly are laid out. Guide pins are
used at suitable positions for maintaining the proper alignments during core
building process. Oil ducts are formed by sticking strips on lamination and
put in positions required. For each packet, the laminations are
manufactured in two different lengths and these sets are laid out alternately,
keeping at a time two to four laminations together. The two alternate
arrangements provide over-lapping at the corner joints and when the
lamination packets are clamped together, these overlapping edges provide
sufficient mechanical strength in holding the edges in tight grip. After laying
out the complete laminations, the clamp plates and end frame structure of
the other side are laid out and the entire core-end frame structure is
properly secured through bolts and steel bands at a number of positions.
Depending upon the shapes of the formed laminations, different types of
core assemblies can be formed.

COIL WINDING

Windings form the electrical circuit in the transformer. These produce


magnetic flux in the core. These are mainly divided into two parts, one is
primary winding and other is secondary winding. In terms of voltages we
classify them LV Winding and HV winding. The positioning of the HV and
LVwindings with respect to the core is also important from the point of view
of insulation requirement. The low voltage winding is placed nearer to the
core in the case of concentric windings and on the outside positions in the
case of sandwiched windings on account of easier insulation facilities. For
core type transformers the windings are cylindrical and are arranged
concentrically. For shell type transformers the coils are usually rectangular,
around which rectangular shaped core laminations are assembled and
surrounded. The conductors used in transformers may be copper or
aluminium depending upon the customer requirement. Small transformer
with AL winding is cheaper compare to CU winding. However, with increase
in rating and voltage, the transformer with CU winding much cheaper in
overall cost as compared to the transformer with AL winding

The choice of the type winding is largely determined by the rating of the
winding. Some of the common types of windings are described below.
1. Distributed Cross-Over Windings
These windings are suitable for currents not exceeding about 20 A. They
comprise of circular cross section (Fig. 1) and are used for HV windings in
small transformers in the distribution range. A number of such coils are
joined in series, spaced with blocks which provide insulation as well as duct
for cooling.
2. Spiral Windings

This type of winding is normally used up to 33 KV and low current ratings.


Strip conductors are wound closely in the axial direction without any radia
ducts between turns. Spiral coils are normally wound on a bakelite or
pressboard cylinder (Fig. 2).

Though normally the conductors are wound on the flat side, sometimes
they are wound on the edge. However, the thickness of the conductor should
be sufficient compared to its width, so that the winding remains twist-free
(Fig. 3).

Spiral windings may be made as single layer or multilayer type. Fig 4.


Shows a double layer spiral coil where an oil duct separates the tow layers.
For such a coil, both the start and the finish leads lie at one end of the coil
and may at times prove to be advantageous for making the terminal gear.

Normally it is not necessary to provide ant transposition between the


parallel conductors of a spiral winding as the lengths and the embracing of
leakage flux are almost identical.

3. Helical winding
This type of winding is used in low voltage and high-current ratings. A
number of conductors are used in parallel to form one turn. The turns are
wound in a helix along the axial direction and each turn is separated from

the next by a duct. Helical coils may be single layer (Fig 5) or double layer
(Fig. 6) or multi-layer, if the number of turns are more.

Unless transposed, the conductors within a coil do not have the same
length and same flux embracing and therefore have unequal impedance,
resulting in eddy losses due to circulating current between the conductors in
parallel. To reduce these eddy losses, the helical windings are provided with
transposition of the conductors which equalise the impedances of the
parallel conductors.

4. Continuous Disc winding


This type of winding is used for voltage between 33 and 132 KV and
medium current ratings. These coils consist of a number of sections placed
in the axial direction (Fig. 7), with ducts between them. Each section is a
flat coil, having more than one turn, while each turn itself may comprise one

or more conductors (usually not more than four or five), in parallel. The
sections are connected in series, but without any joints between them. This is
achieved by a special method of winding. It is not necessary to provide a
cylindrical former for these coils, as these are self-supporting. Each disc is
mechanically strong and exhibits food withstand of axial forces. Another
particular advantage of these coils is that, each section can have either
integral or fractional number of turns for example

1. Bushing:
A bushing is a hollow electrical insulator through which a conductor may
pass. Bushings are used where high voltage lines must pass through a wall
or other surface, on switchgear, transformers, circuit breakers and other
high voltage equipment.
The bushing is a hollow insulating liner that fits through a hole in a wall or
metal case, allowing a conductor to pass along its centre and connect at
both ends to other equipment. The purpose of the bushing is to keep the
conductor insulated from the surface it is passing through. Bushings are
often made of wet-process fired porcelain, and may be coated with a semiconducting glaze to assist in equalizing the electrical stress along the length
of the bushing.
The inside of the bushing may contain paper insulation and the bushing is
often filled with oil to provide additional insulation. Bushings for mediumvoltage and low-voltage apparatus may be made of resins reinforced with
paper. The use of polymer bushings for high voltage applications is
becoming more common. The largest highvoltage bushings made are usually
associated with high-voltage directcurrent converters.

2. Conservator Tank
Tank which is use to connected outside of the
transformer. It is a small drum mounted over
the top of the main tank. It is connected

through a pipe to the transformer tank containing oil. The function of the
conservator is to take up the expansion and construction of the oil with
changes of temperature in service, without allowing the oil to come in
contact with the air, for which it is liable to take up moisture.
3. Buchholz relay
It is a safety device, which trips off the transformer circuit in case of short
circuit or an excessive heat in the cores and oil etc. it is connected in
between the transformer tank .When oil is decomposed due to an internal
fault, gases are produced; oil vapour is produced at high or short circuit
among windings, the Buchholz relay is operated
The core legs and yokes are braced by means of fibre glass epoxy bands.
The top and bottom yokes braced with suitable steel beams. Later designs
constructed the core by stacking layers of thin steel laminations, a principle
that has remained in use. Each lamination is insulated from its neighbours
by a thin non-conducting layer of insulation. The effect of laminations is to
confine
eddy
currents
to
highly
elliptical
paths
that
enclose
little
flux,
and so
reduce
their

magnitude.
4. Tap Changer
There are special device call Tap Changer which are use to change the
winding of transformer in high voltage side. Configuration of Tap changer is
given in Figure 2.6. A transformer tap is a connection point along a

transformer winding that allows the number of turns to be selected.


Selection of the tap in use is made via a tap changer mechanism. By using
Tap Changer device 11kv voltage can be controlled. There are different Tap
positions according to different voltage levels.

It has following parts1. Tap changer type M


2. Motor drive MA7
3. Protective relay RS2001
4. Drive shaft and bevel gear
5. Breather
The breather is provided at the entrance of the conservator of oil immersed
equipment such as Transformers and reactors. Breather removes the
moisture and dust in the air inhaled and prevents the deterioration of the
Transformer oil due to moisture absorption. The breather uses silica - gel as
the desiccating Agent and is provided with an oil pot at the bottom to filtrate
the inhaled air.
