Ø Concentric windings:
- Many layers (using for high voltage windings,
e.g, 35KV)
- Two layers (using for low voltage windings)

Ø Helical windings: this winding is used for the


LV windings, and there are some open slots
in turn-to-turn

Ø Continous helical winding:This type of the


winding is used for HV windings and uses
rectangular wire to wound into galets
arranged side by side.

39
II. General concept of Transformers

Ø Inter-leaved winding: This is a type of winding


which HV and LV windings are alternately wound.
This winding is wound into galets and used for HV
windings. In order to ensure a insulated distance,
the HV windings usually is located closer to the
magnetic circuit than the HV winding, which is
preferable from an electrical-insulating point of
view.

2.4.3. The shield of transformers

The shell is designed to contain oil, and protect the oil of transformers. On
the top of shield has input porcelains of the HV winding and output porcelain
of the LV winding. In addition, a conservator oil is mounted on the cover
(top) to be sure that the oil level in the tank is always full

III. Electromagnetic relations in Transformers

3.1. Electromagnetic balance equations


a. Directions of current and voltage
To be simple, we consider a single-phase
transformer (Fig 3.1). The primary winding
w1 is connected to u1, and the secondary
winding w2 is connected to a load (Z).
Current, voltage and flux directions are
defined as in Fig 3.1
Fig 3.1 current and voltage directions
u The leakage flux Φt1 induces an electromotive force et1 having the
same direction as the electric current i1:
di1
et1 = L1
dt
u The leakage flux Φt2 induces an electromotive force et2 having the same
direction as the electric current i2:
di2
et2 = L2
dt 52
III. Electromagnetic relations in Transformers

3.1. Electromagnetic balance equations (Cont)


b. Voltage balanced equations
u Applying to the second kirkhoff for both sides of the primary and
secondary magnetic circuits in Fig 3.1, we get:

di1
u 1 = e 1 + R1 i 1 + L 1
dt
di2
u2 = e 2 R2 i 2 L 2
dt
u The voltage balanced equations are written via the complex number, i.e.,
U1 = - E1 + (R1+jωL1)I1 = - E1 + (R1+jX1)I1 = - E1 + Z1I1
U2 = E2 - (R2+jωL2)I2 = - E2 - (R2+jX2)I2 = E2 - Z2I2

R1, R2, L1, L2 – Resistances, leakage inductances of the primary and


secondary windings
Z1 = R1+jX1, Z2 = R2+jX2 – complex impedances of the primary and
secondary windings
53
III. Electromagnetic relations in Transformers

3.1. Electromagnetic balance equations (cont)


c. MMF balanced equation

u When the secondary winding is not connected to loads (i1 = i0), then the
main magnetic flux is generated by i0w1.

u When the secondary winding is connected to loads, then the main


magnetic flux is generated by both primary and secondary MMFs (i1w1 +
i2w2).

54
III. Electromagnetic relations in Transformers

c. MMF balanced equation (cont)

Thus, if the applied voltage is a constant, the magnetic flux is also a constant.
This means that the general magnetomotive force (mmf) is a constant in any
states of the loads. From that, MMF balanced equation is defined as

w2 i
i0w1 = i1w1 + i2w2 or i0 = i1 + i2 = i1 + 2 = i1 + i,2
w1 k
The MMF balanced equation is rewritten flowing to the current blanced

3.2. Referred transformer

u As mentioned, two windings are insulated together. Hence, the


consideration of energy process will become difficult

u In order to be convenient for studying, we should assume that two windings


are connected together. This means that we must reduce parameters of
this winding to another one. Referred values are noted with the exponent
comma, e.g., U’2, I’2

b. Vector diagram of transformer


u The loads of transformers are inductive (RL) and capacitive (RC)
loads. Thus, we consider two cases:

Inductive load capacitive load 61


III. Electromagnetic relations in Transformers

c. Equivalent magnetic circuit (continued)


u Normally, the impedances of magnetized branch (Rth, Xth) are very high
in comparision with the others, this means that the magnetized current
I0 is very low. Thus, the magnetized branch can be neglected. The
equivalent diagram is represented as

where: Rn = R1+R’2, Xn = X1+X’2 – short circuit resistance, short circuit


inductance of transformer.
Note that: for the rated load zt =zt.đm, the currents flowing in the windings of
transformers are: I1 = I1đm; I2 = I2đm.

5.1. Introduction
u In order to create the three-phase voltage system, we can use three
single-phase transformers (Fig-a) or one three-phase transformer (Fig
5.1c).

u Fig-b shows that we can change three single-phase transformers into one three-
phase transformer. It is worth noting that the magnetic flux in the core MN is
presented Φ = ΦA + ΦB + ΦC (Φ = 0 for the symmetric magnetic circuit). This means
that the core (MN) can be neglected. The rest of three cores is presented in the
same plane as shown in Fig-c.

5.2. Connection of transformer windings

b. Different connected winding groups

u Each of the primary and secondary windings can be connected in either


star (Y) or delta (Δ or D). This gives four basic connections, i.e.,
Ø Both the primary and secondary sides are connected in star: Y/Y, Yy
Ø Both the primary and secondary sides are connected in delta: Δ/Δ, Dd
Ø The primary winding is connected in star, and in delta for the secondary
winding: Y/Δ, Yd
Ø The primary winding is connected in delta, and in star for the secondary
winding: Δ/Y, Dy

b. Different connected winding groups (continued)
In order to determine connected winding groups/vector groups, we need to
define a phase displacement angle between the line-to-line EMF of primary
winding and the line-to-line EMF of secondary winding

5.3. Parallel operation of transformers


u The conditions for transformer to operate in parallel:
Ø The same vector groups
Ø The same voltage levels and ratios
Ø The same short-circuit voltages

u The load factor of transformers is inversely proportional to their short-circuit


voltages, i.e.,

1 1 1 1
b1 : b 2 : b3 : ...b n = : : : ...

uni % uni % uni %

S – Total load powers; S®mi - Rated power of transformer i

Note that:

u Transformers should not operate:


u No-load
u Low load operation
u Transformer should be located near or at the center of loads to reduce the voltage
drop

u Transformer should be periodically maintained


u The oil in the tank of transformer need to be periodically checked
u Parallel operation transformers must be satisfied conditions as mentioned. The
short-circuit voltages Un of transformers should not be differ from 10%.
