FD FAN (Forced Draft Fan)
Forced Draft Fans (FD) supply the air necessary for fuel
combustion by pushing air through the combustion air
supply system and into furnace. These fans are located
at the inlet of boiler to push high pressure fresh air into
combustion chamber, where it mixes with the fuel to
produce positive pressure.
The key difference between a forced draft and an
induced draft fan is, FD fan forces outside air into the
heating system whereas an ID fan draws flue gases from
the system out into the atmosphere. Both FD fan and ID
fan operate in such a manner that it balances the air
system in the boiler to make the combustion process
efficient.

Core
The core provides a low reluctance path for electromagnetic flux
and supports the primary and secondary windings. It is made by
stacking thin sheets of high-grade grain-oriented steel which are
separated by thin insulating material. In order to minimize the
hysteresis and eddy currents, the carbon content of the core steel
is maintained below 0.1%. When it is alloyed with silicon, eddy
currents can be reduced.
Winding
Transformer carries two sets of winding per phase – Primary
winding and secondary winding. These winding consists of
several turns of copper or aluminium conductors, insulated from
each other and the transformer core. The type and arrangement
of winding used for transformers depend upon the current rating,
short circuit strength, temperature rise, impedance and surge
voltages.
Out of the primary winding and secondary winding, the one
which is rated for higher voltage is known as High voltage (HV)
winding and the other is known as the Low voltage (LV)
winding
Insulation
Insulation is the most important part of transformers. Insulation
failures can cause the most severe damage to transformers.
Insulation is required between the windings and the core,
between windings, between each turn of the winding and
between all current-carrying parts and the tank. The insulators
should have high dielectric strength, good mechanical properties
and high-temperature withstand ability. Synthetic materials,
paper, cotton etc are used as insulation in transformers.
25
Tank
The main tank is a part of a transformer serves two purposes:
1. Protects the core and the windings from the external
environment.
2. Serves as a container for oil and support for all other
transformer accessories.
Transformer oil
In all oil-immersed transformers, transformer oil provides added
insulation between the conducting parts, better heat dissipation,
and fault detection features. Hydro-carbon mineral oil is used as
transformer oil. It is composed of aromatics, paraffin,
naphthenes, and olefins. Transformer oil has a flashpoint of 310
degrees Celsius
26
Oil Conservators
Breather
Breather is present in all oil-immersed transformers that have a
conservator tank. It is necessary to keep the oil-free from
moisture. As the temperature variations cause the transformer
oil to expand and contact, air flows in and out of the conservator
tank. This air should be free from moisture. Breather serves this
purpose.
A breather is attached to the end of the air pipe such that the air
enters and exits the conservator through it. The silica gel present
in the breathers removes moisture from the air and delivers
moisture-free air to the conservator.
Explosion vent
An explosion vent acts as an emergency exit for oil and air gases
inside a transformer. It is a metallic pipe with a diaphragm at
one end, held slightly above the conservator tank. Faults
occurring under oil elevates the pressure inside the tank to
dangerous levels. Under such circumstances, the diaphragm
ruptures at a relatively low pressure to release the forces from
within the transformer to the atmosphere.
27
Buchholz relay
Buchholz relay is one of the most important parts of oil-
immersed transformers rated over 500kVA. It is an oil and gas
actuated relay that is used to sense faults occurring in the parts
immersed in the oil.
Short circuits occurring under the transformer oil generate
enough heat to decompose the oil into hydrogen, carbon
monoxide, methane etc. These gases gradually move towards
the conservator tank through the connecting pipe. Buchholz
relay, which is mounted on the pipe connecting the conservator
tank and the main tank, senses these gases and activates the trip
and alarm circuits. The trip circuit opens the circuit breaker
supplying current to the primary winding and interrupts the
current flow.

TURBOGENERATOR
An electric generator that is connected to the shaft of a gas
or steam turbine to generate electric power is known as a
turbo generator. Turbo generators with huge steam-powered
mainly provide electricity all over the world.
1st steam goes into HP turbine with high pressure and high
temperature that’s why the size of HP turbine is small.
Then steam is sent back to be reheated and then it is sent into
IP turbine and after IP turbine the steam goes directly into
LP turbine.

SF6 Circuit Breaker-
A sulfur hexafluoride circuit breaker uses contacts surrounded
by sulfur hexafluoride gas to quench the arc. They are most
often used for transmission-level voltages and may be
incorporated into compact gas-insulated switchgear. In cold
climates, supplemental heating or de-rating of the circuit
breakers may be required due to liquefaction of the SF6 gas.
