Power Transformer (ANSI Std. C 57.12.00)
History
• 1831 discovery of induction law by Faraday and Henry.
• 1856 First transformer construction in iron core.
• 1889-1891 Invention of AC transformer in 3 legs form by M.
Dolivo – Dobrowolsky
Transformer Outline (Courtesy of Mitsubishi)
• Shell-Form Transformer
2) Winding
– Copper Coil
• good mechanical strength and electrical conductivity.
– Aluminium Coil
• Cheap, good thermal dissipation and light weight.
– Insulation uses craft paper and pressboard paper with enamel
separate between turn and layer of winding (dry in oven with 120-
130C for 3-4days)
– Thermal problem!!
Winding configurations
R2 R1
– Reactor type using
diverter switches
– Reactor type using

Rating Data
• Temperature Rise
1) Winding Rise average temperature rise from
ambient should be less than 65oC by resistance
measurement and < 80oC by winding hot spot.
2) Temperature rise of liquid insulation < 65oC
when measures at the top of main tank.
