Transformer Tranning PPT by Vijay

This document discusses transformers, including what they are, their classification, parts, tests, maintenance procedures, protection methods, and failures. A transformer is a static device that transforms AC electrical power from one voltage to another keeping frequency the same via electromagnetic induction. Transformers are classified by construction, number of phases, cooling method, and number of turns (step up or step down). Key parts include the main tank, radiators, bushings, and tap changer. Maintenance involves checking and filtering the oil, as well as testing insulation resistance. Proper protection methods utilize temperature indicators, relays, and circuit breakers to prevent failures caused by overloading, faults, or improper installation/operation.

WHAT IS A TRANSFORMER?

 TRANSFORMER IS A STATIC DEVICE WHICH


TRANSFORMS A.C. ELECTRICAL POWER FROM
ONE VOLTAGE TO ANOTHER VOLTAGE
KEEPING THE FREQUENCY SAME BY
ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION.
CLASSIFICATION OF
TRANSFORMER
 There are following types of
transformer:

 *According to construction:
 1.core type
 2. shall type
*According to no of phase:
1.Single phase
2.Three phase

*According to cooling:
1.Oil cooled
2. Air cooled or dry type

*According to no of turns:
1.step up
2.step down
PARTS OF TRANSFORMER
1. MAIN TANK
2. RADIATORS
3.CONSERVATOR
4.LIFTING LUGS
5. AIR RELEASE PLUG
6. OIL LEVEL
7.INDICATOR
8. TAP CHANGER
9. WHEELS
10. HV/LV BUSHINGS
11. FILTER VALVES
12. OIL FILLING PLUG
13. DRAIN PLUG
14.CABLE BOX
TYPE TESTS
THESE TESTS ARE CARRIED OUT
ONLY ON ONE TRANSFORMER OF
THE LOT.
 All routine tests
 Additionally following tests are included
in type tests
1. Lightening Impulse test.
2. Temperature rise test
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
 OIL :
1. Oil level checking. Leakages to be
attended.
2. Oil BDV & acidity checking at regular
intervals. If acidity is between 0.5 to 1mg
KOH, oil should be kept under
observation.
3. BDV, Color and smell of oil are
indicative.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
1. Sludge, dust, dirt ,moisture can be removed
by filtration.
2. Oil when topped up shall be of the same
make. It may lead to sludge formation and
acidic contents.
 Insulation resistance of the transformer
should be checked once in 6 months.
 Megger values along with oil values indicate
the condition of transformer.
 Periodic Dissolved Gas Analysis can be
carried out.
PROTECTION OF TRANSFORMERS
 The best way of protecting a transformer is to
have good preventive maintenance schedule.
 Oil Temperature Indicators.
 Winding Temperature indicators.
 Buchholz Relay.
 Magnetic Oil level Gauge.
 Explosion Vent.
PROTECTION OF TRANSFORMERS
 HT fuse & D.O. fuse.
 LT circuit breaker.
 HT Circuit breaker with Over load, Earth
Fault relay tripping.
 Oil Surge Relay for OLTC.
 HORN GAPS & Lightening Arrestor.
 Breather
FAILURES & CAUSES
 Insufficient Oil level.
 Seepage of water in oil.
 Prolonged Over loading.
 Single Phase loading.
 Unbalanced loading.
 Faulty Termination (Improper sized lugs etc)
 Power Theft.
 Prolonged Short Circuit.
 Faulty operation of tap changer switch.
 Lack of installation checks.
