Electrotherm (India) was established in 1983 in pursuit of offering custom built melting solutions to developing

Indian Steel Industry. Over the years, Electrotherm has created state-of-the-art manufacturing complex consisting
of machine shop, assembly shops and testing facilities required for its range of products. Electrotherm meets the
most stringent quality standards and offers the latest technology and process.

Electrotherm has its presence at more than 36 places in India and nine places abroad (Bangladesh, China, Iran,
Malaysia, Pakistan, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, and Turkey) with qualified and experienced sales and service
engineers who are available round the clock to the customers. Besides back up engineers, there is a host of
metallurgists as application engineers who assist customer in cost effective manufacturing end products.

Back born of Electrotherm is its world class in-house Research and Development facility accredited by Dept. of
Science & Technology, Govt. of India, for product development, design and engineering. Elctrotherm manufactures
complete range of metallurgical equipment for Alloy Steel and Stainless Steel plants.

CONSTRUCTION

Windings
Windings are designed to meet electrical, thermal and mechanical requirements. Windings are manufactured with
electrolytic copper conductors of maximum purity. Windings are cylindrical in shape. Depending on the voltage and current,
transformer windings can be helical, continuous or interleaved disc, spiral, cross-over coils.

Windings are wound with adequate bracing and securing tapes so as to achieve strong structure. Interlayer cooling ducts
are provided to limit the temperature gradient between windings and oil. This helps in limiting the hot spot temperature and
minimizes the insulation deterioration.

Transpositions are made in multiple conductor windings so as to achieve uniform current distribution and to minimize
circulating currents.

Before assembly onto the core, windings are pre-shrunk to a pre-determined shrinkage force to ensure better short circuit
withstand capability.

Core
The core is built from prime grade, low loss, non-aging, CRGO steel laminations. These are in conformance to latest
standards for various characteristics like freedom from scale, degree of waviness, brittleness, tolerance on thickness,
permeability and inherent loss due to hysteresis & eddy current. Core is of step-lap construction with mitred joints to reduce
no-load losses. Adequate cooling ducts with directed oil flow are provided for cooling of core without affecting the flux
distribution.

Top and bottom yoke clamps are secured to each other by tie rods. Core columns are generally strongly fastened using high
resistant yoke banding.

Insulation between the core and the clamping structure is tested at 2500 volts before the windings are assembled. The core
is bonded to the clamping structure and to the tank to ensure effective earthing.

Resultant rugged structure has low loss, low magnetization current and low sound level.
 Insulation, core & coil assembly, and impregnation:
The insulating system is designed to get dielectric efforts uniformly distributed
through it.
Insulation between windings of different voltages is obtained through board
barriers. Oil channels are included in solid insulation to enable heat evacuation.

Tapping and phase leads are brought away from the windings by means of paper
covered conductors. The phase leads are separated from the tapping leads by
adequate barriers. Leads are well supported to ensure adequate clearances
between the leads and the tank sides upon lowering of core-coil assembly in the
tank.

Whole active part is dried out with temperature and vacuum. Period is determined
by the electrical tests. Oil dielectric properties are controlled before allowing its
entrance to the transformer tank.

Tank
The tank is made of welded steel sheets and reinforced structure. Structural base is designed to permit skidding or rolling in
either direction. Transformers are provided with bolted removable lid and appropriate inspection access. Where required, LV
outlet on tank is fitted with non-magnetic plates.

All tanks are pressure tested after their fabrication.

Tanks are cleaned and shot blasted. Internal surface is painted with hot oil resistant coating. External surface is painted as
per Electrotherm (adopted from best paint practices) procedure. Exterior paint shade is to Customer's specification.

Cooling is effected by tank mounted radiators or by means of corrugations on the tank side or by separately mounted cooling
units. Cooling arrangement provided will be decided based on size of the transformer and customer specifications. If
required, air blast fans, forced oil circulation employing oil pumps, or water-cooled heat exchangers can be supplied by us.
