2.0 Technical description

2.1 Hermetically sealed design

In the hermetically sealed transformer design, the entire internal volume of the tank is filled with
insulating fluid as far as the bottom edge of the cover and including the bushings.

Hermetically sealed transformers are equipped with a corrugated wall tank. The change in volume of
the insulating fluid, resulting from the temperature rise of the transformer during operation, is
compensated by expansion of the corrugated wall.

The hermetically sealed system ensures that there is no contact between the insulating fluid and the
ambient air.

2200014307_R00_Usermanual.pdf Rev. 0 Page 6 of 56

 Siemens Aktiengesellschaft Österreich
Transformers Weiz

2.2 Corrugated wall tank

With this tank design, heat is dissipated through the surface of the corrugated walls arranged on the
outside of the transformer. The surface and the number of corrugated walls are determined by the
amount of heat to be dissipated.

The corrugated walls are made of cold-rolled 1 to 1.5 mm flat steel.

The corrugated walls of transformers with built-on conservators can be beaded for the purposes of
surface bracing. With this type of tank, the expansion in the insulating fluid is transferred to the
conservator.

The corrugated wall tank is welded onto two wheel brackets. In accordance with the transport
concept the wheels are either mounted, or supplied disassembled and separately with the
transformer.

The corrugated wall tank has an M12 ground connection. The screws of the ground connection are
painted red. All the main components of the transformer that are removable are connected to the
ground potential of the corrugated wall tank by means of ribbon cable.

Corrugated wall tanks are equipped as standard with a main ground connection. This ground
connection is labelled with a ground symbol.

The tank is sealed with a sheet steel cover. This can be chamfered or flat. The thickness of the
sheet steel and the bracing is dimensioned for the prospective stresses during operation and
transport.

The cover can be mounted on the tank by bolting or welding.

The cover is fitted with at least two lifting eyes, one M12 ground connection, one or more
thermometer bags, as well as customized connections.

2.3 Iron core

The iron core has an oval or round cross-section depending on the prevailing short-circuit forces of
the winding.

The electric sheet steel is grain-oriented, silicon-alloyed and cold-rolled. Depending on the quality,
subsequent laser treatment may be required.

The standard three-phase core comprises a top and bottom yoke and three legs. The core is fixed in
the transformer by means of a clamping structure that is connected to the transformer cover via
threaded rods or steel bands.

The core laminations are coated with special insulation on both sides. The yoke and leg laminations
are cut free of burrs and coated using the STEP-LAP technique to reduce no-load losses and
operating noise as far as possible.

2.4 High-voltage and low-voltage windings

The low-voltage winding is wound around a round or oval mandrel by a winding machine. The high-
voltage winding is wound concentrically onto the low-voltage winding. The high-voltage and low-
voltage windings are separated by the high-low space. This can be fitted with a grounded screening
foil, if required.

The winding conductors can be constructed from round, flat or strip material. The material of the
high-voltage and low-voltage windings can be copper or aluminum.

The conductor materials are bare or insulated with lacquer or paper.

The insulation material of the windings is partially coated with epoxy resin. In the course of the
drying process, the layers of the winding bond to form a compact winding block.

The layer insulation is wedge-shaped to counteract the stress on the winding caused by the
alternating voltage.

2.4.1 Tap changer

The windings can be fitted with a tap changer for adapting the transformer to the line voltage. The
tap changer alters the ratio of the high-voltage winding to the low-voltage winding for the purpose of
setting the no-load voltage required at the secondary side.

All connecting leads in the transformer are designed with short-circuit protection and sufficient
breakdown strength.

Unless an on-load tap changer is installed, the tap changer is only permitted
to be operated in the zero-voltage state.

2.5 Bushings
The high-voltage and low-voltage windings are connected in the transformer according to the
specified vector group and routed out of the transformer via terminal leads and bushings typically
located in the transformer cover.

Depending on the customer requirements, the bushings can be designed as straight or angled,
porcelain or plug-type bushings.

To provide protection against electric shock, the bushings can be implemented with voltage-isolated
covers (terminal boxes) or as plug-type bushings with proetction against electric shock, as required.
In both cases, direct access to live bushing components is prevented.

Compliance with the tightening torques specified in Section 4.1.2 is essential

to prevent damage to the bushings.

2.6 Insulating fluids

The insulating fluid in the transformer serves to cool the active part in the tank and to insulate it
against flashover.

Mineral oil, silicon oil and insulating fluids based on ester are in general use.

Mineral oils are available in inhibited and non-inhibited form. Inhibited mineral oils are oils that have
been artificially aged to give greater resistance to aging. Non-inhibited oils age in a controlled and
predictable manner under constant load.

Silicon oils are only used when expressly requested by the customer, due to their poor levels of
viscosity and low environmental compatibility.

Insulating fluids based on ester have excellent environmental compatibility and are preferred in
applications subject to high environmental requirements.

APPLICATION
The T-10 pressure safety valve is employed as a safety element in
distribution transformers of low rating. In the event of an explosion-
type pressure increase of the transformer tank, the excess pressure
must be relieved immediately in order to avoid damage to the tank.

These types are suıtable for hermetically sealed type transformers

CONSTRUCTION
The T-10 pressure safety valve consists of a brass cap, a conical valve
body, a rubber seal between the cap and body and a coil spring
holding the whole system. As soon as relief pressure is reached, the
valve cap lifts off and the excess pressure is relieved. The valve then
shuts itself down again automatically.

The valve can be infinitely set from 0.2 to 0.7 bar.

The valve can also be equipped with a specially manufactured

protective cap to prevent unauthorized operation of valve

4.0 Installation, commissioning, operation

4.1 Installation

The applicable national regulations and guidelines, as well as the User

Manuals for all equipment that is deployed, must be observed.

Siemens Weiz transformers are supplied with wheels separately, or without, as required by the
customer.

The customer is responsible for installation.

Any data required for designing and rating the installation site, such as overall dimensions, spacing
of fixing holes, cable entry positions, or power losses will be supplied by Siemens Weiz.

The following points regarding the installation of transformers must be observed:

The foundations must be level, sufficiently large and rated for the static load.

In the case of outdoor installation, rain water must be diverted away from the transformer
foundations.

Collection troughs, hollows or basins for insulating fluids must be implemented in accordance
with the national regulations of the country of operation.

Unrestricted access to the rating plate, protective devices and display instruments must be
ensured.

For transformers without protective casings, compliance with the external clearances specified in
IEC 60076 is essential.

For installation indoors, depending on the power losses, an air flow of at least
3 – 4 m3 / min must be guaranteed.

The wheels of transformers must be equipped with clamping wedges or blocking devices.

When installation of the transformer has been completed, it must be inspected for damage to the
corrosion protection, especially on the lifting and pulling eyes.

4.1.1 Electrical connections

Before any work starts on the transformer, the "5 Safety Rules" must be
applied:
1. Isolate
2. Lockout and tagout to prevent reconnection
3. Check that the equipment is at zero potential
4. Perform grounding and short-circuiting
5. Provide protection by covers or barriers for any neighboring live parts

The following points regarding the electrical connection of transformers must be observed:

Electrical connection of the transformer can be made on the high-voltage and low-voltage ends
via the bushings, copper busbars, terminals or plug-in sockets.

In all connection systems, supply lines must be fitted with strain relief. Inadequate strain relief
causes forces to be applied to the bushings and results in damage to the bushings and in
leakages.

If a protective casing is mounted on the transformer, the cable glands of the entry plate must not
be used as strain relief for the supply lines. Support for the deadweight of the cables must be
provided by the customer.

All screwed connections must be secured, to prevent loosening during operation.

The bending radii specified by the cable manufacturer must be complied with.

Dirt or condensate deposits resulting from transport or storage must be removed before
electrical connection.

Before commissioning, the transformer must be grounded through the main grounding point on
the wheel brackets. If the transformer cover and transformer tank are not connected by a
grounding strap, the transformer cover must also be grounded.

For porcelain bushings, the cable lug is clamped between the two nuts at the end of the bushing
(1) and (2). Nut (3) must not be loosened, because this would cause the insulating fluid to drain.

4.2 Commissioning
The following points must be observed when commissioning the transformers:

For all activities involved in the lifecycle of the transformer, qualified

personnel must be deployed with sufficient knowledge and experience of
handling transformers who are also familiar with the applicable standards,
regulations, guidelines and accident prevention regulations.

Before commissioning starts, the transformer must be inspected for leaks. If any leaks are
detected, the transformer must not be commissioned. The oil level must be checked.

The position of the tap changer must be checked. The selected position must match the current
line voltage.

The relevant position for the voltage level is indicated on the rating plate.

For hermetically sealed transformers with temperature monitoring equipment, the maximum
permissible oil temperature on the rating plate must be observed.

Before commissioning, the transformer must be grounded through the main grounding point on
the carriage frame. If the transformer cover and transformer tank are not connected by a
grounding strap, the transformer cover must also be grounded.
It must be checked that grounding straps are installed for components and connected correctly.

For conservator transformers and transformers with an open system, the transport protection
must be removed from the conservator and vent nozzle before commissioning. Any supplied
dehumidifier must be installed.

It must be checked that the high-voltage and low-voltage connections have been installed
correctly. The tightening torques 4.1.2 must be observed.

If protective devices are mounted on the transformer, it must be checked that they are
functioning correctly before commissioning starts.

In cases where a Buchholz relay is installed, the transport restraint must be removed.

Before the voltage is applied, all covers, entry plates and caps must be installed.

During operation the bushings and all live parts have to be free from pollution.

2200014307_R00_Usermanual.pdf Rev. 0 Page 50 of 56

 Siemens Aktiengesellschaft Österreich

For transformers in parallel operation, the transmission ratios, including the tapping range, must
lie within the permissible tolerances. The matching short-circuit voltages must also lie within the
permissible tolerances of ± 10%.
The ratio of rated power is not permitted to exceed 1:3. The vector group must be identical.
Transformers with the hour digits 5 and 11 are the exception. These can operate in parallel with
each other provided that the terminals are connected as follows:

High-voltage: Low-voltage:

The applicable national regulations and guidelines, as well as the User

Manuals for all equipment that is deployed, must be observed.

4.3 Operation
Transformers with supervisory control must be monitored during operation for compliance with
operating limits.

Operation of the transformer outside the specified power limits will shorten
the life of the transformer.
