Power in general. ‘The scope of this standard is limited to applications of power convertors, of any power rating, for local distribution, at moderate rated convertor voltage, generally for industrial applications and typically with a highest voltage for equipment not exceading 36 kV. This standard is not applicable to transformers for HVDC power transmission. These are high- voltage transformers, and they are subjected to d.c. voltage tests. ‘The standards for the complete convertor plant (IEC 60146, or other publications cedicated 10 particular fields of application) may contain requirements of guarantees and tests (such as insulation, power loss) for the whole plant, including the convertor transformer and possibly auxiliary transformers and reactor equipment. This doos not roliove the application of the requirements of this standard concerning the guarantees and tests applicable to the convertor transformer itself as a separate component before being assembled with the remainder of the convertor plant, ‘The guarantees, service and type tests defined in this standard apply equally to transformers ‘supplied as part of an overall convertor package, or to those transformers ofdered separately but for use with convertor equisment. Any supplementary guarantee or special verification has to he specifically agreed in the transformer contract. ‘The convertor transformers covered by this standard may be of the oil-immersed or dry-type design. Unies specific exceptions are stated in this standard, the transformers are required to comply with IEC 60076 for oll-immersed transtormers, and with IEC 60726 for dry-type transformers. notes 1. For sone convertor applications, itis possible to use common distribution transformers of standard design. ‘The use’! euch standard trarsformers in the special convertor aprlications may require a certain deraiing. This wich deais win ie requirmers (obs paced on specially special care should be ‘aken in considering # i Hawing in the larger cross-section conductors or fol winding 3 EN.61976-1 isnot applicable for alway applications. This standard only deals with transformers with one active part and one interphase transformer. For several active parts in the same tank, an agreoment between the purchaser and manufacturer is necessary regarding te determination and the measurement of the total losses, This standard deals only with transformer star Y and delta 4 connections. For other connections an agreement belween purchaser and manufacturer is necessary. 1.2 Classification Classification of convertors and convertor applications are given in 1.9 of EC 60146-1-1 and in 1.2 of IEC 60145-1-2. From the aspect of transformer design, it is important to distinguish between — applications with ossentially sinuscidal voltago across the transformer, and = applications wth non-sinusoidal voltage where the transformer primary is energized from a convertor circuit for 2.c. power control or variable frequency conversion. Its also imporiant to distinguish between = applications characterized by a continuous load, such as electrolysis, d.c. are furace etc., and = applications with short-time cyclic or irreguler load variation, such as reversible mill motor drives, etc. It is requirad that information about the convertor application be suppiied in the transformer specilication, This is detailed further in folowing subciauses of this standard, 1.8 Normal service conditions Normal service conditions for the transformer shall be in accordance with IEC 6076-1, IEC 0076-2, IEC 60726 and IEC 60146-1-1 It is required that any deviation of the'a.c. voltage from the rated voltage value or tapping voltage value, sinusoidal wave shapo or three-phase symmetry be within the limits of immunity lass B, according to 2.5 af IEC 6D146-1-1. If the convartor transtormer is supplied with non- sinusoidal voltage, invertor or frequency convertor application, It is necessary that information fon the range of variation of service voltage shape and frequency variation be submitted in the specification. It is also important that information be given regarding the d.c- component of the applied voltage cycle. 2 Normative references ‘The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provicions of this part of IEC 61378.

Where some of these terms are at variance with earlier general definitions of the ‘same terms, found in the IEV, the terms specified in IEC 80076-1 and JEG 60146-1-1 will take precedence. Particular attention is drawn to the terms defined in 1.8.17, 1.9.18, 1.5.19, and 1.5.22 to 1.5.26 inclusive, of IEC 60146-1-1. 4 Ratings IEC 60076-1 applios, with the following additions and explanations. Transformers for convertor application are loaded with non-sinusoidal current, and sometimes work with non-sinusoidal voltage. Even the frequency may vary considerably in ceriain applications. The rating of the transformers on which the tests will be conducted and to which the corresponding guarantees are related is expressed in sinusoidal quaniilies of fundamental frequency in steady state. ‘The following subclauses provide guidance as to how to determine the transformer rating when the details of the convortor and other information about the loading are available. 4.1. Rated power at rated frequency and load capability ‘The rated power of the convertor transformer is based on the fundamental frequency ‘components of voltage and current, hence the rated three-phase power is: Sq = VEU, xh, where U; is the rm.s. value of the fundamental component of the line-lo-line voltage; Jy is the rms, value of the fundamental componont of the sated line current. ‘Tho tomporaturo rise ard cooling requirements of the transformers shall be determined efter allowance is made for the increased losses due to harmonics (see clause 5). ‘The load capability of a transformer is essentially a matter of temperature rise within the windings. If load variations are rapid, with peaks having a duration of 5 min or less, then the Power rating of the transformer is based on the long-term average value of ihe load losses, Hf the load variations are of longor duration than those defined above, a more detailed study ‘can be made of the maximum temperature peaks during the load pulse or cycle. Guidance tor determination of an equivalent constant loading with respect to the rate of thermal aging of the insulation system can be obtained tram IEC 60354 for ol-immersed transformers, and IEC 60905 for dry-type transformers. The equivalent constant load so determined may be takan ‘as the rated power of the transformer.

These ioad eysles should be verified In accordance wit he rules gver above ‘The load variation pattem shall be included by the purchaser in the transformer specification in order to determine a sultabie value of rated power. 42 Rated and sevice voltages 4.2.1 Transiormer energized from ana.c. power system For a convertor transformer connected to an ac. power system, the rated voltage shall be as specified in 4.4 of IEC 0076-1 and in IEC 60078-8. 42.2. Transiormer energized from a convertor/invertor with or without variable frequency For a convertor application with a considerably distorted transformer voltage, the rated voltage shall be the r.m.s value of the sinusoidal fundamental component derived from the Fourier spectrum of the maximum continuous service voltage. For applications with such a distorted transformer voltage, or with variable frequency, Information shall be given in the specification conceming tho applied voltage under various service conditions. NOTE 1 ~ For the above applications, the amplitude of fx density in the magnet parameter, and not mie ampitude of « non-sinusoiaal voltage.

I short im higher values of tho vakage-time intogral exist, thoy should alee be Included in the spostication, to permit checking josible overtuning, No-load core losses in transformers are relatively low. Therefore, no correction is necessary for the measured no-ioad loss with regard to voltage harmonics. NOTE 2 - The corresponding fux ripple, boing a time-integra, is relatively smaller than the short time votage peaks. 43. Rated current The rated current of the transformer is the r.m.s. value of the fundamental component of current corresponding to rated power according to 4.1 5 Load loss and voltage drop in transformers and reactors The measurement of load loss shall be carried out with the rated current. The load loss guarantee shall be based on this measurement. The actual load loss in service includes additional loss due to distorted current. This value shall be calculated in accordance with the procedure of 5.1. it is not guaranteed, but shall be provided by the transformer manufacturer for the purchaser. ‘The actual load loss, calculated as above, shall bo used as the base for detormining tho oil and winging temperature rises, and to verify that they do not exceed the values permitted in IEC 60076.2 ‘or ol-immersod transformers and IEC 60726 for dry-type transformers. ‘The temperature-rise type test on the transformer, when specified, shall be conducted with allowance ‘or service load loss (see 5.1 and 6.4). 5.1. Determination of transformer load loss under distorted current loading ‘The load loss in a transformer is conventionally subdivided into loss as measured with dic. (FRloss) and, in addition, eddy loss in windings and connections. and stray losses in Conductive structural parts of the transformer. For transformers with low-voltage high-current windings, in the range of a few kiloamperes, the intemal high current connections require a seperate analysis of the additional eddy loss. The following principles are used in this standard: a) winding connections and metallic shields of high conductivity such as copper or aluminium are linear elements. Their losses are proportional to the equare of the current: P(l)= constant x I? b) a similar relationship is also valid for shields of magnetic core steel, when used in unsaturated conditions: P(8)= constant x B? where Bis the flux density in the magnetic shield; ©) for the stray losses in structural stesl parts, a square law relationship may also be used with reasonable accuracy: P(B) = constant x B* where B® = constant x J? In normal service, the convertor transformer load current is non-sinusoidal hence, when transformed into a Fourier series, it shows a considerable amount of harmonics. This ron- sinusoidal current raises the eddy loss and stray flux loss, and significantly increases the total loss calculated or measured with purely sinusoidal current, A cortection to the higher loss value at rated, non-sinusoidal convertor joad is required for the thermal dimensioning of the transformer, and for the correct calculation of the loss and officioney of the complete convertor insialiation. The harmonic spectrum shall be speotfied by the purcheser prior to the time of placing the order. It is necessary that the harmonic specirum of current at rated load be specified by the purchaser prior to the time of placing the order. In the absence o! specilic inlormation, a harmonic spectrum can be derived according to 3.8.2 and/or 3.6.4 of IEC 60146-1-2. The load losses in convertor application shall be calculated from the harmonic spectrum defined above and the following formulae given in this clause. ‘The following rules are given for the recalculation of the measured loss under test to the loss value valid under the specified convertor loading.
