Liquid filled transformers

IEC standard small and medium,

rated power<2500 kVA, HV ≤36 kV
Even our standard solutions are special
In almost every place where people live and work you will find
at least one transformer. But as long as it keeps working and
supplying power to the escalator in the department store, the
hotel lift, the office computer, the oven in the local bakery, the farm
machinery or the petrochemical plant nobody gives it a second
thought.
However, transformers are one of the most important units in
every production process. Without them the core activities of
nearly every business and factory would come to a standstill
– with serious financial consequences.
After nearly 100 years developing and manufacturing transformers
we are well aware of this dependency. This is why we never
compromise on the performance, security or reliability of our
products. Nor on design, materials, manufacturing methods,
environmental protection or recycling.
Our objective is to support you and to add value to your activities
by offering a comprehensive range of quality transformers.
We also provide top class service and support.

Construction features
Description
ABB factories manufacture a wide range of oil and dry type
transformers. This brochure describes three phase oil type
distribution transformers up to 2500 kVA and 36kV.
They are used to step down three-phase high voltage to low
voltage for power distribution, mainly in urban areas and for
industrial applications. Our standard transformers are designed
for use in moderate climates and can be installed both outdoors
and indoors. The loading capability is designed to comply with
IEC 354. Distribution transformers can be hermetically sealed
(the tank is completely filled with oil) or equipped with an oil
conservator. Tanks are constructed with flexible corrugated walls
(fins), which enables sufficient cooling of the transformer.
The corrugated walls also compensate for the changes in the oil
volume during operation. An advantage of the hermetically sealed
transformers is that oil is never in contact with the atmosphere
thus avoiding periodic oil analysis.
Our transformers are adaptable for pole mounting or assembly in
substations.
Standard features
Hermetically sealed:
– corrugated tank,
– HV and LV DIN bushings,
– off-circuit tap changer,
– oil drain valve,
– oil filling plug on the cover,
– lifting lugs,
– earthing terminals,
– rating plate,
– mineral oil (inhibited or uninhibited),
– overpressure valve.
Additionally, for transformers with a conservator:
– magnetic oil level indicator,
– Buchholz relay,
– oil filling plug on the conservator,
– dehydrating breather.
Other product types with different dimensions and technical
specifications can be designed and manufactured on request.
ABB technology – Common Technology (CT)
Our transformers are manufactured to provide you with a high
quality and reliable transformer. ABB have developed a Common
Technology (CT) platform, which defines design standards,
equipment and processes used in all our factories. Use of this
Common Technology enables us to guarantee our customers
a high quality and consistent product.
The key production features of our small and medium distribution
common technology are:
– oval core,
– step lap,
– automatic cutting and stacking of core legs,
–w indings directly wound on the core legs or mandrels with 2 HV
coils in parallel (smallest units),
–e poxy diamond dotted paper insulation between LV layers,
– tapered or full width layer insulation in HV windings.
What we achieved is:
– standardization of products,
– automation of production,
– stable process and quality,
– high reliability,
– higher LV insulation level.

Core
The magnetic circuit is of the three-column type with mitred joints.
It is manufactured with firstrate, grain oriented magnetic,
cold-rolled silicon steel laminations. The mounted core is clamped
down in order to reduce vibrations and minimize noise levels.
Further noise level and no load losses decreasing are achieved
by step lap core construction.
Core design is an important factor of any transformer’s efficiency.
The geometric core arrangement and the materials chosen
determine the losses and noise levels. Grain oriented transformer
sheet steel is used in the core construction. It is cut by the most
modern, fully automated core cutting machinery and assembled
into limb and yoke sets. This results in high dimensional accuracy,
excellent space factor, and low loss values. By using step-lap
technology, the no-load currents can be reduced improving
the drawbacks associated with reactive power compensation.
Windings
The windings are made of two components, conductor material
and the insulation material. The conductors used are a high grade
electrolytic copper or aluminum. They are insulated with pure
cellulose or double enamel. The HV windings are wound either
with round, double enamel insulated, or rectangular, paper
insulated wire. The LV windings are wound with rectangular paper
insulated wire, enameled wire or foil. The windings are designed
4 Liquid filled transformers
to meet the customer’s insulation level requirements and also
to withstand the short circuit forces as outlined in IEC 60076-5.
The neutral point of LV windings are brought up to the tank cover.
Off-circuit tap changer
The tappings of the HV winding, are connected to the off-circuit
tap changer located horizontally between the yoke and the tank
cover. The handle is located on the cover and should only be
operated when the transformer is deenergized. The design
prevents setting the off-circuit tap changer to intermediate
positions. The mechanism can also be padlocked during normal
transformer operation.
Insulating liquids
The mineral oil – both inhibited and uninhibited types – with its
electrical and chemical characteristics is in compliance with
the IEC Standards and is P.C.B. and P.C.T. free.
ABB provides and promotes its own solution as well. BIOTEMP®
is biodegradable, vegetable based oil dielectric insulating fluid
used in electrical transformers. The product reduces
environmental threats posed by transformer insulating oil spills.
On special requests other fluids are available (silicon oil or midel).

Tank and cover
Tank walls are made of corrugated cooling surfaces. The bottom
plate, side and frames are of welded construction. The welds are
tested for oil tightness. All protection device flanges, bushings, tap
switch drive and lifting lugs are fitted on the tank cover.
The cover is bolted to the tank frame.
The underbase channel is welded to the base plate and the rollers
are suitable for either longitudinal or transverse movements.
Single pole 3-phase transformers are delivered with flat base as
standard, but optionally can be equipped with underbase channel
beams where bi-directional wheels are a requirement.
The complete tank is tested and approved according
to CENELEC HD 428.6 S1 standard. Special type lifecycle tests
of more than 10 000 cycles simulating over 30 years operation
were carried out with positive results.
Painting and surface treatment
All metal parts are carefully sand-blasted. The initial protective
coating is made up of a single coat of one pack epoxy paint.
The final paint coating is made up of several coats of paint.
Alternatively, hot dip galvanized transformers can be supplied for
use in heavy corrosion areas. All units are painted in RAL 7033
but other colors are available on request. Detailed painting
procedures for different environmental conditions are also
available.

Smartchoke
Unique ABB solution to protect transformers against ultra steep
front waves which are extremely dangerous to the electrical
equipments like transformers. It reduces both steepness and
amplitude of high dU/dt transients. As it is integrated with the
bushings the filtering takes place before it reaches the windings.
LOVOS
Transformer can be equipped with LOVOS – a new generation of
LV surge arresters without spark gap and with varistors of metal
oxide technology. It provides protection along LV overhead lines,
for different electrical equipment connected to the line, from
transformers up to measuring instruments. Arresters installed on
the secondary bushings reduce the overvoltages generated in the
medium voltage system and transferred to the low voltage side
by capacitive, magnetic or earth coupling through a transformer
itself. In this way high quality of electricity supply is secured.
