Guide for Loading Dry Type Distribution and Power Transformers


Book Description

Abstract: General recommendations for the loading of dry-type distribution and power transformers that have 80 C, 115 C, and 150 C average winding rises and insulation systems limited to 150 C, 180 C, and 220 C maximum hottest-spot operating temperatures, respectively, are covered in this guide. Recommendations for ventilated, nonventilated, and sealed dry-type transformers having impregnated insulation systems are included. Keywords: ambient temperature, cast-resin transformer, constant load, derating factors, hottest-spot temperature, loading capability, loading transformer, rated output, resin-encapsulated, solid-cast, time constant, transient loading, encapusation, power distribution, temperature measurement, transformers.




Power and Distribution Transformers


Book Description

This book is based on the author's 50+ years experience in the power and distribution transformer industry. The first few chapters of the book provide a step-by-step procedures of transformer design. Engineers without prior knowledge or exposure to design can follow the procedures and calculation methods to acquire reasonable proficiency necessary to designing a transformer. Although the transformer is a mature product, engineers working in the industry need to understand its fundamentals oand design to enable them to offer products to meet the challenging demands of the power system and the customer. This book can function as a useful guide for practicing engineers to undertake new designs, cost optimization, design automation etc., without the need for external help or consultancy. The book extensively covers the design processes with necessary data and calculations from a wide variety of transformers, including dry-type cast resin transformers, amorphous core transformers, earthing transformers, rectifier transformers, auto transformers, transformers for explosive atmospheres, and solid-state transformers. The other subjects covered include, carbon footprint salculation of transformers, condition monitoring of transformers and design optimization techniques. In addition to being useful for the transformer industry, this book can serve as a reference for power utility engineers, consultants, research scholars, and teaching faculty at universities.




IEEE Standard for Ventilated Dry-Type Power Transformers, 501 KVA and Larger, Three-Phase, with High-Voltage 601 V to 34 500 V; Low-Voltage 208Y/120 V to 4160 V- General Requirements


Book Description

Abstract: Characteristics relating to performance, limited electrical and mechanical interchangeability, as well as safety of the equipment described, and to assist in the proper selection of such equipment, are set forth in this standard. Specific rating combinations are described in the range from 750/1000 kVA to 7500/10,000 kVA inclusive, with high-voltage 601 V to 34 500 V inclusive and low-voltage 208Y/120 V to 4160 V inclusive. This standard describes certain electrical and mechanical requirements and takes into consideration certain safety features of 60 Hz, two-winding, three-phase, ventilated dry-type transformers with self-cooled ratings 501 kVA and larger, which are generally used for step-down purposes. Clause 9 through Clause 11 describe other requirements or alternatives that may be specified for some applications and lists forced-air-cooled ratings for certain sizes. Keywords: ambient temperature, basic lightning impulse insulation level (BIL), construction, current transformer, dry-type, electrical, forced-air cooled, grounding, insulation level, jacking, limiting temperature, mechanical, percent impedance voltage, performance, rating, self-cooled, surge arresters, taps, temperature device, temperature rise, tests, transformer, transformer enclosure, unit substation, winding temperature.
