Description
The primary winding, core and secondary winding of the transformer are encapsulated in cast-resin.

Secondary conductors
The fixing screws in the light alloy base are positioned within easy reach also from above. The conduit used for
the secondary conductors can be fixed into a U-shape slot entry in the secondary terminal box. This design
obviates the drawing of the secondary conductor through an entrance hole into the terminal box.
When specified on order the box can be provided with a threaded entry for cable termination accessories. One
2.5...10 sq. mm or two 2.5...6 sq. mm (in case of three core transformer one 2.5...6 sq. mm ) conductors can
be directly connected to the secondary terminals. The terminal cover is sealable. Degree of protection by
enclosure is IP 30.

Primary terminals
M12 size screws are used in primary terminals. Primary connection can be changed to Ipn or 2 x Ipn current
without removing the already fitted primary conductors.

Environment and altitudes

The KOFA transformers are made for indoor mounting. IEC recommandation gives requirement for ambient
temperature between -5 oC and +40 oC. The transformers, however, may be used at a temperature as low as
-40 oC. The transformers must be protected against unusually heavy deposits of dust or similar pollution, as well
as against direct sunshine.
In mountaineous areas the height above sea level may be higher than the height specified in the IEC standards
as design criteria (= 1000 m). The thin air at high altitudes affects the cooling of the transformers as well as the
required creepage & free air distance to earth and between phases. The manufacturer should be consulted in
such cases.
The problem with creepage and free air distance can be solved by choosing a transformer type designed for
higher voltages. The requirement for impulse test voltage (BIL-level) should preferably NOT be higher than
normal for the service voltage used as this may have a negative effect on the available output from the
secondaries.
The transformer specification can in such a case be for example:
Type KOFA 24 D2
Service voltage 17.5 kV
Test voltages 38 kV 1 min./95 kV impulse
The normal transformer type KOFA 24 D2 would have been suitable if used below 1000 m.

Description for preferred transformers

A limited selection of the KOFA-type current transformers are available as preferred types, which gives two
advantages:
1. Having factory documentation and material ready for the most frequent ratingsthus offering short delivery
times for urgent needs.
2. Simplifying the choise and ordering by giving each standard c.t. a specific order code.
On ordering transformers according to the table below please give only the order code, observing the voltage
code.

Available preferred current transformers:

Type: KOFA 12 D 2 for 12 kV
KOFA 24 D 2 for 24 kV
Secondary current: 5 A
Number of cores: 2
Weight: 17 and 19 kg
Standards: International standard IEC 60044-1

Normally not labelled: Rct (winding resistance at 75 oC), Uk (knee-point voltage) and Io (exciting current).

Short circuit strength, primary current, core selection symbol

The primary table on page 6 shows the available short circuit strengths and rated primary currents. The table
also gives the core selection symbol. The larger the chosen core symbol, the smaller the cores and transformers
become in size. In case of trans-formers with two primary connections the table is applicable for the lower rated
current.
At the double rated current the thermal and dynamic strengths are also doubled.

The cores
The core selection tables on page 7 and 8 show how the core size is determined
by the chosen core symbol, burden and accuracy. Only the most common accuracy classes and burdens are
indicated in the table, the secondary current being 5 A. The core size obtained from the table, decides the size
of transformer frame lenghtwise. For both 12 and 24 kV are three different transformer lenghts available: types
KOFA _ 1, KOFA _ 2 and KOFA _ 3 which can accommondate number of cores as shown on page 6.

Cantilever strength: 5 kN

Frequency
The transformers can be manufactured for different frequencies. The tables herein are made for 50 Hz. The same
tables may be used also for 60 Hz taking into account that the FS-value of measuring cores will be 20 % higher
at 60 Hz.

Example Requirements: 6.6 kV

100/5/5 A
Ith (1 sec) = 10 kA, Idyn = 25 kA
Core 1: 15 VA, class 0.5
Core 2: 15 VA, class 10P10

1 The primary table shows that a transformer having Ipn = 100-200 A, Ith = 11-22 kA and Idyn = 30-60 kA
will meet the set requirements for Ith and Idyn.

2 Hence the core selection symbol at 100-200 A rated current will be 800. The core sizes are obtained from
the core selection table which for core symbol 800 are:

3 Core 1: 15 VA, class 0.5 30

Core 2: 15 VA, class 5P10 46 (5P10 acc. the table gives better accuracy than 10P10)
Total 76

4 12 kV transformer, type KOFA 12__, will be used at 6.6 kV.

The type selection table gives type KOFA 12 D2 for the transformer size. If the transformer is later connected
to a ratio 200/5/5 A the corresponding short circuit strengths are Ith = 22 kA and Idyn = 60 kA. It is not advisable
to choose unnecessarily high values for Ith (and Idyn). The higher short circuit strength decreases the available
burden and increases transformer price.
