The requirements of magnetic material are,

High permeability Low reluctance High saturation flux density Smaller area under B-H curve

For small transformers, the laminations are in the form of E,I, C and O as shown in figure

The percentage of silicon in the steel is about 3.5. Above this value the steel becomes very brittle and also very hard to cut

Volume of iron = Volume of Copper

For minimum weight of transformer,

Used when circular coils are required for high voltage distribution and power transformer.

Circular coils are preferred for their better mechanical strength.

Circle representing the inner surface of the tubular form carrying the windings (Circumscribing Circle)

37

Design of CoreSquare & Stepped Core

Dia of Circumscribing circle is larger in Square core than Stepped core with the same area of cross section.

Thus the length of mean turn(Lmt) is reduced in stepped core and reduces the cost of copper and copper loss.

However, with large number of steps, a large number of different sizes of laminations are used.

Design of Winding

Transformer windings: HV winding & LV winding

Winding Design involves: Determination of no. of turns: based on kVA rating & EMF per turn

Area of cross section of conductor used: Based on rated current and Current density

No. of turns of LV winding is estimated first using given data.

Then, no. of turns of HV winding is calculated to the voltage rating.

Cooling of transformers

Losses in transformer-Converted in heat energy. Heat developed is transmitted by,

Conduction Convection Radiation

The paths of heat flow are, From internal hot spot to the outer surface(in contact with

oil) From outer surface to the oil From the oil to the tank From tank to the cooling medium-Air or water.

Methods of cooling:1. Air Natural (AN)-upto 1.5MVA2. Air Blast (AB) 3. Oil natural (ON) – Upto 10 MVA4. Oil Natural – Air Forced (ONAF)5. Oil Forced– Air Natural (OFAN) – 30 MVA6. Oil Forced– Air Forced (OFAF)7. Oil Natural – Water Forced (ONWF) – Power plants8. Oil Forced - Water Forced (OFWF) – Power plants

Cooling of transformers

Specific heat dissipation due to convection is,

The average working temperature of oil is 50-600C.

For

The value of the dissipation in air is 8 W/m2.0C. i.e, 10 times less than oil.

Design of tanks with cooling tubes

Cooling tubes increases the heat dissipation

Cooling tubes mounted on vertical sides of the transformer would not proportional to increase in area. Because, the tubes prevents the radiation from the tank in screened surfaces.

But the cooling tubes increase circulation of oil and hence improve the convection

Circulation is due to effective pressure heads

Dissipation by convection is equal to that of 35% of tube surface area. i.e., 35% tube area is added to actual tube area.
