TRANSFORMER DIVISION
Production process and procedure

Process
KEL manufactures distribution transformers and medium transformer.
Transformer Division has different stages in manufacturing
transformers. In each stage one charge in hand controls the activities
in that particular process. The different stages are:
Core Building
In this stage the frame is cut in the shape of „E‟. Silicon steel is
cutting with the E shape for frame fabrication.
Insulation and Assembly
The insulation are done in core building, HV winding and LV
winding. The press board is used for insulation work. Insulation helps
to overcome the occurrence of short circuit.
HV winding
The conductors are used for the high voltage coil winding. The
conductor is wounded or insulated with Double Paper Grade Strip.
HV winding produces high voltage. The high voltage electricity has to
be transmitted to distribution.
LV winding
Here also conductors are used. Low voltage coil are wound with
double paper grade strip. This strip reduces the possibility of short
circuit. This coil consists of low voltage electricity which comes from
outside. In real process the IXth stage is core coil assembly. The core
assembly, HV winding and LV winding are assembled in this stage.

19
Terminal Gear (TG) Mounting
The LV winding terminals are fixed in to a bush. The terminal gear is
built with copper or aluminium.
Tanking
The fabrication tank has been made available through sub-contract or
manufacturing the structural unit. The dried TG mounted coils are put
in the tank. Then the tank has to be filled with oil. Then tightening
take place.
Final Testing
When the production process is completed, final test conducted by
company supervisor.
Painting and Dispatching
The final stage is painting and dispatching the transformer.
Sometimes, in this stage customer can also inspect the transformer.
After the payment is made by the customer, dispatching the
transformer is done as the specification of the tender.
Production infrastructure
The infrastructure needed to design, manufacture and install products
as per customer requirements are identified and provided.
Infrastructure includes building, utilities, machines, inspection and
testing devices, standards and codes, software and supporting devices.
Preventive maintenance and upkeep of infrastructure is done for
ensuring the capability of the infrastructure to meet the customer

MACHINES UESD FOR VARIOUS
PROCESS

31
 SHEARING MACHINE
Shearing machines are multi-purpose devices used in the cutting of
alloys and other sheet metals. Some shearing machines use a scissors-
like angular shear action to cut metal into sheets or strips. Other,
larger machines use a straight shear action with the blade fixed at an
angle as opposed to the angular movement. Shearing operations are
performed by the action of two blades, one fixed in the shear bed, and
the other moving vertically with little or no clearance. Shear action
moves progressively from one side of the material to the other. The
angular configuration of the blades is called the rake. Both rake and
clearance are a function of the type and thickness of the material to be
cut.

32
 GRIDING MACHINE
A grinding machine, often shortened to grinders, is any of various
power tools or machine tools used for grinding, which is a type of
machining , using an abrasive wheel as the cutting tool. Each grain of
abrasive on the wheel’s surface cuts a small chip from the work piece
via shear deformation. Grinding is used to finish work piece that must
show high surface quality and high accuracy of shape and dimension.
These are some roughing applications in which grinding removes high
volumes of metal quite rapidly, thus grinding is a diverse field.

33
 DRILLING MACHINE
The drilling or drill press is essential in any metal working shop.
Basically, a drilling machine consists of a spindle (which turns the
drill and which can be advanced into the work, either automatically or
by hand) and a work table (which holds the work piece rigidly in
position as the hole is drilled).
Drilling is an operation of making a circular hole by removing a
volume of metal from the job by cutting tool called drill. A drill is a
rotary end-cutting tool with one or more cutting lips and usually one
or more flutes for the passage of chips and the admission of cutting
fluid. A drilling machine is a machine tool designed for drilling holes
in metals. It is one of the most important and versatile machine tools
in a workshop. Besides drilling round hole, many other operations can
also be performed on the drilling machine such as counter boring,
countersinking, honing, reaming, lapping, sanding etc.

34
 MILLING MACHINE
The milling machines are also known as the multi-tasking machines
(MTMs) which are multi-purpose machines capable of milling and
turning the materials as well. It is one of the important machining
operations. In this operation the work piece is fed against a rotating
cylindrical tool. The rotating tool consists of multiple cutting edges.
Normally axis of rotation of feed is given to the work piece. Milling
operation is distinguished from other machining operations on the
basis of orientation between the tool axis and the feed direction;
however, in other operations like drilling, turning etc. the tool is fed in
the direction parallel to axis of rotation.
The cutting tool used in milling operation is called milling cutter,
which consists of multiple edges called teeth. The machine tool that
performs the milling operations by producing required relative motion
between work piece and tool is called milling machine. It provides the
required relative motion under very controlled conditions.

35
 WELDING
Arc welding is a type of welding that uses a welding power supply to
create and electric arc between an electrode and the base material to
melt the metals at the welding point. They can use either direct (DC)
or alternating (AC) current, and consumable or non consumable
electrodes. The welding region is usually protected by some types of
shielding gas or slag. Arc welding process may manual, semi
automatic or fully automated. Today it is remains an important
process for the fabrication of steel, structures and vehicle.

36
 OXY-FUEL WELDING AND CUTTING
Oxy-fuel welding
In Oxy fuel welding the flame is applied to the base metal and held
until a small puddle of molten metal is formed. The puddle is moved
along the path where the weld bead is desired. Usually, more metal is
added to the puddle as it is moved along by dipping metal from a
welding rod or filler rod into the molten metal puddle. The metal
puddle will travel towards where the metal is the hottest. This is
accomplished through torch manipulation by the welder.
The amount of heat applied to the metal is a function of the welding
tip size, the speed of travel, and the welding position. The flame size
is determined by the welding tip size. The proper tip size is
determined by the metal thickness and the joint design.
Welding gas pressures using oxy-acetylene are set in accordance with
the manufacturer's recommendations. The welder will modify the
speed of welding travel to maintain a uniform bead width. Uniformity
is a quality attributes indicating good workmanship. Trained welders
are taught to keep the bead the same size at the beginning of the weld
as at the end. If the bead gets too wide, the welder increases the speed
of welding travel. If the bead gets too narrow or if the weld puddle is
lost, the welder slows down the speed of travel. Welding in the
vertical or overhead positions is typically slower than welding in the
flat or horizontal positions.
The welder must add the filler rod to the molten puddle. The welder
must also keep the filler metal in the hot outer flame zone when not
adding it to the puddle to protect filler metal from oxidation. Do not
let the welding flame burn off the filler metal. The metal will not wet
into the base metal and will look like a series of cold dots on the base
metal. There is very little strength in a cold weld. When the filler
metal is properly added to the molten puddle, the resulting weld will
be stronger than the original base metal.

37
Oxy-fuel cutting
For cutting, the setup is a little different. A cutting torch has a 60- or
90-degree angled head with orifices placed around a central jet. The
outer jets are for preheat flames of oxygen and acetylene. The central
jet carries only oxygen for cutting. The use of several preheating
flames rather than a single flame makes it possible to change the
direction of the cut as desired without changing the position of the
nozzle or the angle which the torch makes with the direction of the
cut, as well as giving a better preheat balance. Manufacturers have
developed custom tips for Mapp, propane, and propylene gases to
optimize the flames from these alternate fuel gases. The flame is not
intended to melt the metal, but to bring it to its ignition temperature.
The torch's trigger blows extra oxygen at higher pressures down the
torch's third tube out of the central jet into the work piece, causing the
metal to burn and blowing the resulting molten oxide through to the
other side. The ideal kerf is a narrow gap with a sharp edge on either
side of the work piece; overheating the work piece and thus melting
through it causes a rounded edge.

Cutting is initiated by heating the edge or leading face (as in cutting

shapes such as round rod) of the steel to the ignition temperature
(approximately bright cherry red heat) using the pre-heat jets only,
then using the separate cutting oxygen valve to release the oxygen
from the central jet.[5] The oxygen chemically combines with the iron
in the ferrous material to oxidize the iron quickly into molten iron
oxide, producing the cut. Initiating a cut in the middle of a work piece
is known as piercing.

39
ELECTRIC OVERHEAD TRAVELLING CRANE
Electric overhead travelling crane or (EOT) crane is one of the most
common types of overhead cranes, or called bridge cranes, which
consist of parallel runways with a travelling bridge spanning the gap.
As obvious from the name, EOT crane is operate by electric,
generally there is an operator cabin or a control pendant along with
the EOT crane. It consist of three squirrel cage type, slip ring
induction motor foor its three movements that is the linear motion,
vertical motion and horizontal motion.

40
 LATHE
Lathe is one of the most versatile and widely used machine tools all
over the world. It is commonly known as the mother of all other
machine tool. The main function of a lathe is to remove metal from a
job to give it the required shape and size. The job is securely and
rigidly held in the chuck or in between centers on the lathe machine
and then turn it against a single point cutting tool which will remove
metal from the job in the form of chips.
An engine lathe is the most basic and simplest form of the lathe. It
derives its name from the early lathes, which obtained their power
from engines. Besides the simple turning operation as described
above, lathe can be used to carry out other operations also, such as
drilling, reaming, boring, taper turning etc.

41
 CAPSTAN AND TURRET LATHE
A capstan and turret lathe is a production lathe. It is used to
manufacture any number of identical pieces in the minimum time.
These lathes were first developed in the United States of America by
Draft and Whitmey in 1960. Capstan lathe is one of the types of semi-
automatic lathe.

42
 SLOTTING MACHINE
A metal working machine for processing hard to reach, straight or
slanted inner and outer surfaces, as well as grooves and mortises of
any shape mainly blind, with small spaces for the free movement of
the tool. The principal motion is rectilinear and is produced by the
reciprocating motion in the vertical plane of a slide block with a
carriage and a slotting tool or slotting ram attached to it. The slide
block is driven mechanically or hydraulically. The feed movement,
which is rectilinear or circular, is achieved by the periodic shifting of
the table to which the work piece is fastened. The output of a slotting
machine lowers than that of a milling machine or broach. It is used for
single-unit or small lot production.

43
 SHAPING MACHINE
A shaping machine is a reciprocating type of machine tool. The work
held firmly on the table and the ram is allowed to reciprocate over it.
A single point cutting tool is attached to the ram. When the ram
moves horizontally in the forward direction, the tool removes metal
from the work. On the return stroke, metal is not removed. The ram
moves at a slow speed during forward stroke. But during return
stroke, the ram moves at a faster speed. Through the distances of ram
movement during the forward and return stroke remain the same; the
time taken by the return stroke is less as it is faster. It is possible by
‘Quick return mechanism’.

 CONCLUSION
Internship at KEL, Mamala was a very good experience. These days
helped us in improving our knowledge and also made us aware with
new ideas, tools, machines, different departments and its functions
and all about a manufacturing industry. We have studied various
machines and equipments and its mechanisms and also the
organizational structure of the firm.
It teaches us the discipline and behavior in an industry, time keeping,
punctuality and responsibility in an industry, wages and incentives
plan and first of all how to make theoretical classes into practical one.
Through this training I got idea about the design and purpose of the
different machineries used in the manufacturing of transformer and
other products. We hope this implant training help us to increase our
professional skills as well as the working ability in an industry. We
thank one and each members of the firm to give such an opportunity
to be part of the firm for few days.
