1 - General Information

A - Standards
The IEC and BS standards for transformers and their parts are the most widely applied
standards in most countries where local electric authorities have either adopted one of
these standards or created one that suits the needs, laws and regulations of their country.

The following list of main Standards refers to the most common electrical applications.

The Standards may have been amended, but the relevant amendments are not
mentioned here.

IEC 60076 Power Transformers

IEC 62271-200 AC metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for rated voltage above 1 kV and up
to and including 52 kV

IEC 62271-202 High-voltage/low-voltage prefabricated substation

IEC 62271-100 High-voltage alternating-current circuit breakers

IEC 62271-102 Alternating current disconnectors(isolators) and earthing switch

IEC 62271-105 High-voltage swichgear and controlgear alternating current switch-fuse combination

IEC 60296 Unused mineral insulating oils for transformers and switchgear

IEC 60137 Insulated bushings for alternating voltages above 1000 V

IEC 60529 Classification of degree of protection provided by enclosures

B - Cooling Code and Insulation Liquid

No transformer is truly an ‘ideal transformer’ as
each will incur some losses which gets converted
into heat. If this heat is not dissipated properly,
the excess temperature in the transformer has the
potential to cause serious problems like insulation
failure. The transformer requires a cooling system
to prevent this from occurring.

Transformers can be divided in two types:

(i) Dry Type Transformers
(ii) Oil Immersed Transformers

Different cooling methods are applied on these two

types of transformers:
• For Dry Type Transformers
• Air Natural (AN)
• Air Forced (AF)

• For Oil Immersed Transformers

• ONAN: Oil Natural Air Natural
• ONAF: Oil Natural Air Forced

The ONAN transformers can be operated with normal

rating and ONAF with an increased rating of
approximately 25%.

4
C - Technical Aspects
• Power Rating and Voltage Levels
A power rating is the rated voltage (multiplied by the phase-factor for three-phase transformers) and the rated
line current at center tap when several taps are provided.

Power rating is expressed in kVA or MVA.

The rated power of the three-phase transformer is defined by the formula:

P = V *I*1.73
“V” is the rated line to line voltage,
“I” is the rated line current of the transformer
“1.73” is the numerical value for the square root of 3.

Transformers are energized usually from a network which has a defined voltage level which is the primary
(feed) voltage level.Transformers should transform the primary voltage to a new voltage, the secondary
voltage level, that is required by the consumer.

Transformers can be designed to operate with two primary voltages (one at a time), therefore, if the network
voltage must be changed in the future, the same unit will be used.

Transformers can be designed to generate two secondary voltages simultaneously, thus, outputting two levels
for two applications.

The primary and secondary voltages define a Basic Insulation Level (BIL) of 75, 95, 110,
125, 170 and 200kV. The transformer is designed accordingly for electrical withstand of over-voltages.
1 - General Information

• Altitude
The transformers are suitable for operation at altitudes of up to 1000m above sea level. Site altitudes above
1000m require the use of special designs and should be mentioned in the order.

• Short Circuit Impedance

The short circuit impedance is the transformer’s impedance, usually between 4% and 6% for distribution
transformers and higher than 7% for power transformers. The short circuit impedance is the percentage
of the primary rated voltage that must be applied at the transformer primary winding when the secondary
winding is shorted in order to have the rated currents in the primary and secondary windings. If the short
circuit impedance increases, it will result in an unnecessary voltage drop across the power transformer and
will limit its ability to deliver power to the secondary-connected equipment.

• Transformers working in parallel should have identical short circuit impedance

• Vector Group
The vector group is the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) method of categorizing the high
voltage (HV) windings and low voltage (LV) winding configurations of three-phase transformers. The vector
group designation indicates the windings configurations and the difference in phase angle between them.

The possible connections are as follows:

• D (d) delta connection
• Y (y) star connection
• Z (z) zigzag connection
• N (n) the neutral exists for connection outside the transformer

The Vector Group determines the phase displacement between the primary and the secondary winding, and
each unit in the vector group refers to 30 degrees displacement. A vector group Dyn11 is delta on primary, star
on secondary, with neutral brought out and 330-degree phase displacement.

6
• Tank Types
The transformer tank is usually a non-rigid structure with corrugated panels, designed to withstand the
mechanical stresses, absorb the oil expansion, and meet the thermal evacuation constraints.

For power rating above 3150kVA, the tank is usually designed with rigid structure, cooling radiators and
conservator.

• Magnetic Circuits
The types of magnetic circuit are:
• Three legs construction
• Step lap stacking

Made from a cold rolled, grain oriented silicon steel strips, each strip (0.23, 0.27 or 0.30mm thick) is insulated
on both sides by Carlite.

• Permissible Tolerances
Manufacturing tolerances are the deviations between the measured values and the guaranteed values.
Unless otherwise specified in the order, the tolerances are limited to the values specified in IEC 60076-1.
1 - General Information

• Frequency
Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. It is also referred to as temporal
frequency, which emphasizes the contrast to spatial frequency and angular frequency. The period is the duration
of time of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency.

The frequency at which the transformer is designed to operate is 50Hz or 60Hz and is
set in accordance with the network frequency.

• Ambient Temperature and Temperature Rise

The normal ambient temperature under which the transformer will operate is defined as the Ambient
temperature, where the temperature rise expresses the rise of the cooling medium and the winding
temperatures when the transformer operates at full load. The maximum values are defined by applied
standards.

8
• Winding Coils
An electromagnetic coil is an electrical conductor such as a wire in the shape of a coil, spiral or helix used in
applications where electric currents interact with magnetic fields. Either an electric current is passed through the
wire of the coil to generate a magnetic field, or conversely an external time-varying magnetic field through the
interior of the coil generates an EMF (voltage) in the conductor.

Both the primary and secondary windings are made of copper or aluminum. The primary voltage is directly wound
on the secondary voltage winding, with insulating barriers and cooling channels between the two windings.
Secondary voltage coils are rectangular wires or foil conductors. Primary voltage coils are round enamel wires, or
rectangular paper insulated wires for high power ratings, or paper insulated round wires.

Adequate channels for oil circulation are integrated in the windings to provide efficient cooling and to limit
the hot spot temperature.
2 - Applications

The distribution transformer provides the final voltage transformation in the electric power distribution system,
stepping down the networks medium voltage to low voltage, the level used by the consumer, and is considered
one of the most important links in the distribution network.
Distribution transformers are used in the following applications:

Building Infrastructure and Industrial

Airports, hospitals, factories, shopping malls,
hotels, commercial and residential towers.

Utility
Generation, transmission, distribution substations,
water and waste water treatment plants.

Oil and Gas

5 - Transformer Classifications

A distribution transformer or service transformer is a transformer that provides the final voltage transformation
in the electric power distribution system, stepping down the voltage used in the distribution lines to the level
used by the customer.

Whether the transformers are used for infrastructure systems, industry or households, alfanar provides the
right transformer for every need – from compact distribution transformers to limited power transformers with
ratings up to 6000 kVA.

Transformers can be classified based on many factors like installation or losses which is the most important factor in the
transformer.

In any electrical machine, ‘loss’ can be defined as the difference between input power and output power.
A - Standard Losses Transformer

As per the international standards, and especially the IEC, each transformer’s manufacturer should respect the losses
limits and references in order to be acceptable.

Under those values a standard losses transformer is made to fulfil the customer requirements with a competitive cost
and high quality.

D - Special Transformer

To service a wide range of loads and market demands, alfanar can provide a broad spectrum of the special
transformers of high quality and compact design to meet these needs.

1 - LV/LV Transformers
LV/LV transformers are generally in the range of hundreds of kVA and are frequently used for:
• Changing the low voltage level for:
• Auxiliary supplies to control and indication circuits
• Lighting circuits (230 V created when the primary system is 400 V 3-phase 3-wires)
• Changing the method of earthing for certain loads having a relatively high capacitive current to earth
(computer equipment) or resistive leakage current (electric ovens, industrial-heating processes,
mass-cooking installations, etc.).

3 - Dual Voltage Transformers

A Dual Voltage Transformer can be defined as the one capable of providing two types of voltages, i.e. if the two
separate windings are connected in series, they will provide the sum of voltages supplied to the two coils and if
the two windings are connected in parallel, then the net voltage will be decreased. These voltages can be switched
within the transformer according to the type of output required by using a dual voltage switch.

Using a transformer which has reconnectable windings greatly reduces costs and saves time as many power appli-
cations require a number of voltage levels for different machines, in this case using different types of transformers
is not a solution.

4- Non-Mineral Oil Transformers (KNAN)

The designation of cooling types of oil distribution transformers depends on the fire point of the oil being used in the
transformer. Mineral oils are symbolized with “O” with minimum flash point 135°C as per IEC 60296- Ed. 4, 2012.
Non-mineral oils such as silicone oil, Synthetic Ester (which is also known in the market by the brand “Midel”) and
Natural Ester (vegetable oils) are designated with “K” since their fire point is above 300°C.

Each letter in KNAN transformer cooling stands for:

K - indicates a beyond 300-degree Celsius fire point

N - denotes Natural
A - is equal to Air
N - Natural
• 100% fire safety record
• High fire point >300˚C
• Classified as K-class
• Renowned resistance to ignition
• Midel doesn’t contribute to the fire
• Self-extinguishing (Fire extinguished in 7.5 Seconds)
• No risk of pool fires

2. Cable Box
Cable boxes are enclosures for the transformer
terminals. They provide protection from hazardous
access to terminals, and protect the terminals from
water, dust and mechanical impacts up to different
degrees.

Protection degrees are described in IEC 60529.

The cable box can be either top or side accessible
depending on customer requirements.

The degree of protection which alfanar offers is

IP 54 according to IEC 60529.

3. Oil Level Indicator

Transformers can be equipped with an oil level indicator on the
conservator, on the cover or on the side, depending on the design.

Magnetic and prismatic types of oil level indicators are available.

4. Thermometer
The dial type thermometer indicates the maximum highest oil
temperature reached during a certain period.

Two contacts are optional to provide an electrical signal, the first is for an
alarm and the second for tripping.

5. Pressure Relief Valve

Hermetically sealed transformers can be equipped with a pressure relief
device, preset to 0.3bar/0.43bar.

When a pressure exceeding 0.3bar/0.43 bar occurs inside the

transformer, the pressure relief valve opens to evacuate the overpressure.
6. Earthing Terminal on Tank
Two earthing points are integrated
in each tank, stainless stud, stain-
less flag with 12mm hole and stain-
less threaded M10 terminal are the
available earthing point types.

7. Draining Valve
The drain valve is used to drain or sample the transformer oil from
the transformer tank. These valves are fitted to the transformer tank
by welding the pipe of the valve to the tank. These valves are 100%
tested to ensure no leakages.

8. Tap Changer
The network voltage is usually not stable and varies
between different locations. To keep the secondary
voltage at a nominal value, a linear tap changer is used.

The transformer by default comes with 5 position and

steps 2x±2.5, other types of tap changers and number
of position are available upon request. The different
taps are indicated on the rating plate. The tap changer
is off-circuit operated.

9. Lifting lugs
Lifting lugs are used for untanking and lifting. 2 lugs are supplied
for units weighing up to 3.5 tons, 4 lugs for heavier units.

34
Optional Accessories
1. DMCR Relay
A DMCR relay is a multifunctional device. It indicates the temperature and
oil level and is equipped with electrical contacts for:
• Gas formation
• Pressure excess
• 2 Temperature levels: alarm and trip

2. Oil Conservator
A cylindrical tank mounted on the supporting structure on the roof of the
transformer (main tank), the main function of the oil conservator is to
provide adequate space for expansion of oil inside the transformer for a
breathing type tank transformer.

3. Buchholz Relay
The Buchholz relay is used in conjunction with the conservator. Oil
leakages, gases formation, and quick oil flow to the conservator are
internal faults detected by the Buchholz relay. Dry contacts are
provided to signal these alarms.

4. Air Breather

The air breather is installed on the oil conservator, during normal operation the oil
temperature changes resulting in an oil volume change, generating a bi-directional air
flow from and to the conservator. The air breather contains silica gel which absorbs
the air moisture. On delivery, the silica gel is pink, and becomes colorless when
moisturized. Silica gel can be recycled by heating to 120 degrees until the color turns
back to pink.
5. Roller
Bi-directional rollers are used for ground mounted units: diameter 125mm
for ratings up to 630 kVA, diameter 150/200 mm for higher ratings.

6. Winding Temperature Indicator

This device measures the LV and HV winding temperature. A winding
temperature indicator or WTI is also used as protection for the trans-
former.
