TOSHIBA POWER TRANSFORMERSIn 1894 Toshiba started producing transformers. Since then, we have successively completed the following

power transformers, each epoch-making when considering Japan's industrial level in those years.

Recently, with the sharp increase indemands for electric power, powertransformers have grown in scale

while unit capacity has shown asincreasing tendency.Especially, thermal/nuclear powerplant transformers have displayed anotable tendency toward largecapacity. Toshiba has successivelyrenewed its records on unit capacitysuch as 200MVA in 1958, 300MVA in1960, 430MVA in 1963, 680MVA in1967, 1100MVA in 1973, 1200MVA in1977. In 1985 we manufactured aworld-record product of 60Hz, 515kV,1260MVA delivered to Tsuruga 2ndNuclear Power Station, Japan AtomicPower Co., Japan.

While substation transformers aremostly equipped with on-load tapchangers, based on technical know-how under license of MaschinenfabrikReinhausen GmbH, Germany,Toshiba developed a resistance-typeon-load tap changer, which waspromptly standardized to ensure highreliability. A large number oftransformers providing on-load tapchangers up to 800 VIVA are beingproduced, and many auto-trans-formers up to 765 kV-1650 MVA bankare being manufactured by

Toshiba.Recently, transformers connected togas-insulated switchgear (GIS) are

being broadened in application.As to all voltage classes no largerthan 500kV, Toshiba established a GIS connection technique, resulting inthe successful manufacture anddelivery of 500kV, GIS direct-coupledtransformers. Transformers forpumped-storage power stations andunderground substations are subjectto strict restrictions on transportdimensions and weight. Throughadopting an innovative method ofdividing components to facilitatetransportation and assemblytechnique, Toshiba manufactured and

delivered three-section type 275kV,300MVA transformers to undergroundsubstations, 345kV, 300MVAtransformer to pumped-storage powerstation and a nine-section type 500kV,680MVA transformer to anunderground power station, whoseequivalent cannot be seen in any partof the world.By initiating research on 500kVtransformers early in 1955, andthrough exerting efforts subsequentlyseveral times in related research anddevelopment activities,

in 1967 Toshiba successfullycompleted and delivered a 500kVtransformer to the B.C. Hydro &Power Authority, Canada. This wasthe first practical model ever built inJapan for an ultra high-voltage powertransformer. Further, in 1971,500/275kV-1000MVA auto-transformer-banks were completed asthe first 500kV transformer product tobe delivered for domestic use. In1977, Toshiba also delivered1500MVA-bank autotransformers.In 1988, 765/525kV1650MVA auto-transformer-banks were delivered toBrazil as the first 765kVautotransformer product.Supported by such technology,

Toshiba successively manufacturedand delivered the aforementionedgigantic thermal, nuclear powerstation transformers and hydroelectricpower station transformers whichrequires the difficult transportationwith strict transport restrictions.Regarding transformers of the 500kVand above, Toshiba boasts one of theworld's largest supply record, havingexceeded 120,OOOMVA in totalcapacity of supplied transformers (330units).

The high reliability of Toshiba products is widelyrecognized by users in Japan and abroad. It is backed

Efforts are now being exerted to ensure sufficient short-circuit strength by maintaining a balance of ampere-turns between windings, determining materialsto beused on the basis of mechanical force calculated bycomputers, and exercisingadequate care in thepretreatment fastened by applyingpressure with a

winding conductors are uniformly insulated, and noreinforcement of insulation is necessary. Because ofthis favorable voltage distribution, the rise oftemperature is uniform.

Core

Three-phase transformers usuallyemploy three-leg core. Wheretransformers to be transported by railare large capacity, five-leg core isused to curtail them to within theheight limitation for transport.Even among thermal/nuclear powerstation transformers, which areusually transported by ship and freedfrom restrictions on in-land transport,gigantic transformers of the1000MVA class employ five-leg coreto prevent leakage flux, minimizevibration, increase tank strength, andeffectively use space inside the tank.Regarding single-phasetransformers, two-leg core is wellknown. Practically, however, three-leg core is used; four-leg core andfive-leg core are used in large-capacity transformers. The sectionalareas of the yoke and side leg are50% of that of the main leg; thus, thecore height can be reduced to alarge extent compared with the two-leg core.For core material, high-grade, grain-oriented silicon steel strip isused.

connected by a core leg tie plate;fore and hind clamps by connectingbars. As a result, the core is soconstructed that the actual siliconstrip is held in a sturdy frame

consisting of clamps and tie plates,which resists both mechanical forceduring hoisting the core-and-coilassembly and short circuits, keepingthe silicon steel strip protected fromsuch force.I n large-capacity transformers,which are likely to invite increasedleakage flux, nonmagnetic steel isused or slits are provided in steelmembers to reduce the width forpreventing stray loss from increasingon metal parts used to clamp the

core and for preventing localoverheat. The core interior isprovided with many cooling oil ductsparallel to the lamination to which apart of the oil flow forced by an oilpump is introduced to achieve forcedcooling.When erecting a core afterassembling, a special device shownin Fig. 8 is used so that no strain dueto bending or slip is produced on thesilicon steel plate.

The steel strip surface is subjectedto inorganic insulation treatment.

All cores employ miter-joint coreconstruction. Yokes are jointed at

an angle of 45 to utilize the

magnetic flux directionalcharacteristic of steel strip.

A computer-controlled automaticmachine cuts grain-oriented siliconsteel strip with high accuracy andfree of burrs, so that magneticcharacteristics of the grain-orientedsilicon steel remains unimpaired.(Fig. 6)Silicon steel strips are stacked in acircle-section. Each core leg isfitted with tie plates on its front and

rear side, with resin-impregnatedglass tape wound around the outercircumference. Sturdy clampsapplied to front and rear side of theupper and lower yokes are boundtogether with glass tape.

And then, the resin undergoesheating for hardening to tighten theband so that the core is evenlyclamped (Fig. 7).

Winding

Continuous Disk Winding

This capacitance acts as seriescapacitance of the winding to highlyimprove the voltage distribution forsurge.Unlike cylindrical windings,hisercap disk winding requires noshield on the winding outermostside, resulting in smaller coiloutside diameter and thus reducingtransformer dimension.Comparatively small in windingwidth and large in space betweenwindings, the construction of thistype of winding is appropriate forthe winding, which faces to aninner winding of relatively highvoltage. Thus, general EHV or UHVsubstation transformers employhisercap disk winding to utilize itsfeatures mentioned above.

Various windings are used as shownbelow. According to the purpose ofuse, the optimum winding is selectedso as to utilize their individual

features.

Hisercap Disk Winding

(Interleaved disk winding)

In hisercap disk winding,electrically isolated turns arebrought in contact with each otheras shown in Fig. 9.Thus, this type of winding is alsotermed "interleaved disk winding."Sinceconductors 1 - 4 andconductors 9 - 12 assume a shapesimilar to a wound capacitor, it isknown that these conductors havevery largecapacitance.

This is the most general typeapplicable to windings of a widerange of voltage and current(Fig.10). This type is applied towindings ranging from BI L of 350kV

to BI L of 1550kV.Rectangular wire is used wherecurrent is relatively small, whiletransposed cable is applied to largecurrent. When voltage is relativelylow, a transformer of100MVA ormore capacity handles a large

current exceeding 1000A. In thiscase, the advantage of transposedcable may be fully utilized.Further, since the number of turnsis reduced, even conventional

continuous disk construction issatisfactory in voltage distribution,thereby ensuring adequatedielectric characteristics. Also,whenever necessary, potentialdistribution is improved byinserting a shield betweenturns.

Helical Coil

For windings of low voltage (20kVor below) and large current, ahelical coil is used which consists of

a large number of parallelconductors piled in the radialdirection and wound. Adequatetransposition is necessary toequalize the share of current amongthese parallel conductors.Figure 12 illustrates the transposingprocedure for double helical coil.Each conductor is transposed atintervals of a fixed number of turnsin the order shown in the figure, andas a result the location of eachconductor opposed to the high

voltage winding is equalized fromthe view point of magnetic fieldbetween the start and the end ofwinding turn.

Insulation Structure

On parts where the electric field isliable to be concentrated, such asthe winding ends of disk windings,detailed electric field analysis by

computer determines the optimumshield shape and the insulationdistance so that the surrounding oilis kept free from excessive electricstress (Fig. 13).Further, spaces between windingsclose to a uniform field employ abarrier insulation structure in whichan oil gap is formed by pressboard(Fig. 14), so that partial dischargecharacteristics and dielectricstrength are improved through anadequate barrier arrangement,

resulting in stabilized insulatingperformance. The windings areclamped according to the followingsteps.When the annular, thick insulatingplate placed on the coil top hasbeen clamped by a hydraulic jack,insulator wedges and blocks areinserted between the insulating plateand the underside of the upper yokeand clamp, so that each coil isclamped uniformly and completely.Regarding pressboard to be used

for spacers and duct pieces on thecoil, precompressed pressboard isused. Coils maintaining adequateshort-circuit strength for many yearsand free from shrinkage throughaging have been realized throughuniformly, completely clampedconstruction and insulating materialsexcellent in compressivecharacteristics combined withadequate drying.Further, all insulating materials usedfor clamping these coils are oil

impregnable and the optimum typefor applications under high electricfields.The connective parts of coil leadsare likely to invite electric fieldconcentration as a result of theedges of terminals and clampingbolts. To alleviate stressconcerntration, each connection iswound with aluminum-foil-laminatedcrepe paper into a streamlinedshape and completely covered withinsulating paper.

Prevention of Internal Partial Dischargeand Insulation TreatmentIn the case of transformers specifiedwith several reduced-insulationlevels, such as EHV or UHVtransformers, the ratio between

testing voltage and operating voltageis small. To ensure high reliability inextended operation under highvoltage, thorough quality control mustbe effected to prevent dangerouspartial discharge. Main causes ofpartial discharge include:Incompletely dried insulationsVoids in insulationsElectrically floating metals and

incomplete contact under electricfield of high intensity

Edged electrodes

Concentrated electric stress appliedto oil gap

Intermixed foreign matter or dustToeliminate these causes, thefollowing measures are taken in theprocess of design and manufacture;to confirm reliability, a partialdischarge test is conducted at thefinal stage.

Drying/Oil Filling Treatment

I n the core-type transformer, thecore-and-coil assembly isindependent of the tank, so that theassembly is allowed to completelydry. When drying the core-and-coilassembly, Toshiba's innovative vaporphase drying method is used, inwhich special oil vapor is sprayed onthe assembly to utilize latent heat

produced when the oil vaporcondenses.Since heating is effected deep insideevenly and quickly, the assembly canbe completely dried

without causing damage to theinsulations.Upon completion of drying, the coil isclamped in a low-humidity room

adjusted to 5% or below relativehumidity to prevent any reabsorptionof humidity (Fig. 17).When a core-and-coil assembly hasbeen installed in a tank, the tank isevacuated to a high vacuum state toremove reabsorbed humidity on theinsulations surface and voids inimpregnated insulation; thendeaerated oil is filled under the highvacuum.Upon completion of a factory test, thetransformer is transported to the site

(with its accessories disassembledand packed as required) forinstallation and assembly.Duringinstallation and assembly at site,adequate care is taken to dehydrationand the prevention of waterabsor tion as in the case of factor

Removing Voids

Voids in impregnated insulation suchas paper and pressboard can becompletely removed by oil filling

under a vacuum. Depending on theglue material and the using method,there is a possibility of creating voidsinside. Thus, oil-impregnableglue isused and due care is exercised toavoid using excessive glue.

Electric Field ControlInsulation between high- and lowvoltage windings, between windingsand the tank/core, and between coil

layers depends mainly on the oilimpregnated paper and oil gaps.Unless voids are created in layers ofinsulation paper, partial dischargeoccurs first on oil gaps. The electrodeshape and insulation dimensionsmust be carefully selected to keep theoil free from excessive stress.The electric field tends to concentrateon the small shaped lead wires fromcoils and lead wire connections,edges of terminals and clampingbolts,and metal structures such as

cores, clamps, and the tank which arefacing these high-voltage electrodes.

As to parts liable to invite electric fieldconcentration, detailed electric fieldanalysis isconducted

by computer to determine theoptimum electrode shape, insulationconstruction, and insulationdimensions toensure careful control

of the electricfield.

Dust ControlThe penetration of all sorts of dustand foreign matter, as well as metallicparticles, is unfavorable totransformers; such matter incurspartial discharge. To avoid thispenetration, the transformer core-and-coil is assembled in a dust-controlled dust-proofed room; windingoperations are performed in a double-ceiling room -a dust-proofed room

provided with an additional ceiling(Fig. 16).Dust is further controlled by coatingmetal structures of the core-and-coilassembly and the tank interior withwhite paint; should dust or foreignmatter penetrate from the exterior, itcan be readil detected.

With the increase in transformer capacity,the leakage flux also rises, so that strayloss is increased or local overheat iscaused. For large-capacity transformers, it

becomes very important from thestandpoint of improved reliability tothoroughly comprehend leakage flux andto take measures to minimize stray loss.At Toshiba, careful measures againstleakage flux are taken on the basis of theresults of computer-aided analysis onleakage flux distribution and eddy currentloss on each part of the transformer, fullyutilizing our rich experience in producing ahuge number of large-capacitytransformers.As to eddy current loss in coil conductors,the loss of each coil part is determinedfrom leakage flux distribution. Transposedcable and various types of transpositionare applied in accordance with results ofthe above-mentioned loss analysis toprevent local overheat from being causedby excessive loss.Generally made of mild steel, tanks andother structural members are high inpermeability and liable to invite leakage

flux concentration.Thus, the tank inner surface is providedwith a shield made of conductor platesuch as aluminum or a laminated shieldmade of silicon steel strips to preventleakage flux from penetrating the tank,thus reducing a large eddy current losscreated on steel members.As to other structural members, efforts areexerted to prevent local overheat orexcessive deterioration of adjacentinsulation from being caused by eddy

current loss, while employingnonmagnetic materials in accordance withleakage flux on each part, providing slitsin steel members to narrow the width asdescribed in the section on "Core " andadopting other measures appropriate forrespective parts.

Tank

The tank is manufactured byforming and welding steel plate tobe used as a container for holdingthe core and coil assembly together

with insulating oil. The Toshibatransformer tank offers thefollowing features:Subjected to automatic beam

welding machine (Fig. 20) andother special facilities, the tankpossesses high quality andstrength.

Transformers to be transported byship are structured in a semiovalshape on both ends of the tankand provided with reinforcement

members rationally arranged,resulting in increased strength anddecreased weight.

The tank bottom is fitted with a skidbase by welding and provided withpull lugs to facilitate rolling in thelongitudinal and transversedirections.

Capable of withstanding a highvacuum of 0.1 torr or below, thetank can be filled with oil under avacuum; to thoroughly removegases and moisture from theinsulation.

The tank is of completely enclosed,welded construction.Oilproof nitrile rubber gaskets areused on those parts which must beremoved from the standpoint ofassembly in the field or duringmaintenance; flanges thereon areprovided with accurately machinedgrooves or gasket retainers toensure proper tightening ofgaskets. Consequently, there is no

possibility of oil leakage over anextended period (Fig. 21, 22).

The tank internal surface and themetallic part of the core-and-coilassembly are coated with whitepaint to help observe dustaccumulation.

Cooling System

Panel type radiators are mounted onthe tank.

Since any cooling fans and oilpumps are not used, this type iswidely applied owing to its facilitatedmaintenance, Panel type radiatorshave features of decreasing oilvolume and withstanding a vacuum(Fig. 23).

Self-cooled Type

Cooling fans are installed on the

radiators to increase the coolingeffect. Usually, the cooling fans willbe put into service when naturalcooling becomes inadequate tomaintain the oil and/or windingtemperature within the specified limitunder a heavy load (Fig. 24).

This is a system in which unitcoolers, each consisting of a coolingtube, fan, oil-submerged pump, andoil flow indicator assembled as aunit, are arranged around the tank inthe necessary amount. Steel pipefitted with fins and dipped in zinc,with an excellent corrosionproofcharacteristics, is adopted ascooling pipe.In the tank cooled oil is delivered tothe windings and ducts on the core,so that each part is cooled uniformlyand effectively (Fig. 25).In some cases, a cooling deviceconsisting of a combination of oil-submerged pumps and radiatorswith cooling fans isused as acooling device for multirating of aforced-oil, forced-aircooled/forced-aircooled/self-cooled transformer(Fig. 26).

In case that a large amount ofcooling air is unavailable such asin underground substations, watercooled type is applied. The oilcirculates through the casingoutside the water tubes, and thewater circulates through the waterto be.Where the cooling water pressureis maintained at a higher levelthan oil pressure, a double-tube-type cooler is applied (Fig. 27).

Accessories

Oil Preservation System

Oil conservator type, nitrogen-enclosed type, and diaphragm type(Type OH-D), are employed for the oil

preservation system.

Diaphragm-type Oil PreservationSystem (Type OH-D)

The oil preservation system Type OH-Dis provided with a synthetic rubber air cellstretched over the oil surface in theconservator to completely isolate theinsulating oil from outside air. This ismost suitable for high-voltage, large-capacity transformers (Fig. 28).Since air in the air cell is connected to theopen atmosphere through a dehydratingbreather, the air cell shape variesaccording to expansion and contractionof the oil, keeping pressure in the air cellat the atmospheric pressure.Diaphragm-type oil preservation systemType OH-D offers the following features:

Oil can be filled into the transformertank without being exposed to the air.

Since insulating oil is completelyisolated from the atmosphere by an aircell, there is no possibility of oxygen or

moisture penetrating the oil.Pressure on the surface of the oil is

constantly maintained at theatmospheric pressure, offering nopossibility of the oil becomingsupersaturated and forming bubbles;thus, high dielectric strength can bemaintained.

No need to refill nitrogen gas ormeasure the gas purity simplifiesmaintenance.

No need of attachments to beseparately installed results in less floor

area.The air cell is made of nitrile rubber

reinforced with nylon cloth, ensuringsplendid oil-proofing and high strength.

Dehydrating Breather (Types FG,FP, FS)

Air in the air cell of conservator TypeOH-D is exposed to the openatmosphere through a dehydratingbreather to prevent dew condensation.

Regarding moisture absorbent, agranular type free from deliquescenceis used.To display the extent of moisture

absorption of the moisture

absorbent, it is also mixed the kindof moisture absorbent which is bluecolor under a dry state and changesto pink as moistureabsorption

progresses. When no breathing is

conducted, the breather is isolatedfrom the open air by oil to prevent themoisture absorbent from needlesslyabsorbing moisture (Fig. 30).

Dial Oil Level IndicatorFor indicating on the dial a changeof oil in the conservator, theindicator is tilted downward topermit easy supervision of the oillevel even if it is installed at a highlevel. Any change in the oil level is

detected by a float, converted intorotary motion by a gear, andtransmitted to the external pointerthrough a magnet. The float side iscompletely isolated from the pointerside by a partition through which therotary shaft does not pass,preventing oil leakage. The pointerside is of airtight construction withmoisture absorbent containedtherein to prevent the glass innerside from clouding (Fig. 31).

Protective Rela sThe following protective devices areused so that, upon a faultdevelopment inside a transformer,an alarm is set off or thetransformer is disconnected fromthe circuit. In the event of a fault, oilor insulations decomposes by heat,producing gas or developing animpulse oil flow. To detect thesephenomena, a Buchholtz relay isinstalled.

Buchholtz Relay

The Buchholtz relay is installed atthe middle of the connection pipebetween the transformer tank andthe conservator. There are a 1ststage contact and a 2nd stagecontact as shown in Fig. 32.The 1st stage contact is used to

detect minor faults. When gasproduced in the tank due to a minorfault surfaces to accumulate in therelay chamber within a certainamount (0.3Q-0.35Q) or above, thefloat lowers and closes the contact,thereby actuating the alarm device.The 2nd stage contact is used todetect major faults. In the event of amajor fault, abrupt gas productioncauses pressure in the tank to flowoil into the conservator. In this case,the float is lowered to close the

contact, thereby causing the circuitbreaker to trip or actuating thealarm device.

Temperature Measuring Device

Liquid Temperature IndicatorLiquid temperature indicator (BMSERIES) is used to measure oiltemperature as a standard

practice. With its temperaturedetector installed on the tank coverand with its indicating part installedat any position easy to observe onthe front of the transformer, the dialtemperature detector is used tomeasure maximum oil temperature.Thanks to its double construction,the indicator can be removedregardless of oil in the transformertank. The indicating part, providedwith an alarm contact and amaximum temperature pointer, is of

airtight construction with moistureabsorbent contained therein; thus,there is no possibility of the glassinterior collecting moisture wherebyit would be difficult to observe theindicator (Fig. 33).Further, during remotemeasurement and recording of theoil temperatures, on request asearch coil can be installed whichis fine copper wire wound on abobbin used to measuretemperature through changes in itsresistance.

The winding temperature indicatorrelay is a conventional oil

temperature indicator supplementedwith an electrical heating element.The relay measures thetemperature of the hottest part ofthe transformer winding. Ifspecified, the relay can be fittedwith a precision potentiometer withthe same characteristics as thesearch coil for remote indication.The temperature sensing system isfilled with a liquid, which changes involume with varying temperature.The sensing bulb placed in a

thermometer well in thetransformer tank cover senses themaximum oil temperature. Theheating element with amatching resistance is fed with

current from the transformerassociated with the loaded winding of

the transformer and compensate theindicator so that a temperatureincrease of the heating element isthereby proportional to a temperatureincrease of the winding-over-the-maximum-oil temperature. Therefore,the measuring bellows react to boththe temperature increase of thewinding-over-the-maximum-oiltemperature and maximum oiltemperature. In this way theinstrument indicates the temperaturein the hottest part of the transformer

winding.The matching resistance of theheating element is preset at thefactory.

Pressure Relief DeviceWhen the gauge pressure in the tankreaches abnormally to 0.35-0.7kg/c m2the pressure relief device startsautomatically to discharge the oil.

When the pressure in the tank hasdropped beyond the limit throughdischarging, the device is automaticallyreset to prevent more oil than requiredfrom being discharged.

Tap ChangerOff-circuit Tap ChangerOff-circuit tap changer is used forregulating the voltage after thetransformer has been completelyde-energized.

At Toshiba, two standard types of off-

circuit tap changers are available: awedge-type off-circuit tap changer anda slide-type off-circuit tap changer.The wedge-type is used when taps areprovided halfway on the winding; theslide-type is used when taps areprovided on the end of the winding.The wedge-type is shown in Fig. 37.The spring, which applies a contactpressure to the contact piece, is mosthighly compressed at its regularposition. Thus, in conjunction withwedge action of the contact piece, a

sufficiently high amount of contactpressure can be obtained, negatingthe possibility of incomplete contact.To prevent oil leakage, an oil seal isused on that part of the tank coverthrough which the operating shaftpasses.

On-load Tap ChangerDeveloped on the basis of technicallicense from MR Co., Germany,Toshiba On-load Tap Changer FKSeries boasts the following features:

The entire on-load tap changercan be built in a tank to facilitateassembly and transport of thetransformer.

By performing resistance-typebreaking, arcing time is short, andboth oil contamination and contactwear can be considerablyreduced. Further, this tap changerensures high reliability and longlife.

The tap selector is provided with

contact pieces structured to permitconducting large current; eachcontact piece is provided with ashield electrode on its upper andlower sides for needs of insulation.

The mechanical parts areprovided with adequate strength tomeet torque as required, thusensuring high reliability duringextended operation.

The three-phase tap changer is

split into three segments,becoming suitable for changingthe neutral-point tap on star-connection winding. This type oftap changer can also be used as alarge-capacity, single-phase tapchanger with current shunted byimpedance of the transformerwindings.

BushingHaving manufactured various typesof bushings ranging from 6kV-classto 800kV-class, Toshiba hasaccumulated many years of splendidactual results in their operation.

Plain-type BushingApplicable to 24kV-class or below,this type of bushing is available in astandard series up to 25,OOOArated current. Consisting of a singleporcelain tube through which passesa central conductor, this bushing isof simplified construction and smallmounting dimensions; especially,this type proves to be advantageouswhen used as an opening ofequipment to be placed in a busduct (Fig. 40).

Oil-impregnated, Paper-insulatedCondenser BushingThe oil-impregnated, paper-insulated condenser bushing, mainlyconsisting of a condenser cone ofoil-impregnated insulating paper, isused for high-voltage application

(Fig. 41, 42). This bushing, ofenclosed construction, offers thefollowing features:

High reliability and easymaintenance.

Partial discharge free at testvoltage.

Provided with test tapping formeasuring electrostatic capacityand tan .

Provided with voltage tapping forconnecting an instrumenttransformer if required.

From the standpoint of protectingthe surrounding living environment,the problem of noise is attachedmuch importance.

Thanks to a combination ofToshiba's excellent coreconstruction and assemblingtechnique, our large-capacitytransformers are manufactured atlower noise level than the standardlevel for transformers specified inNEMA-TR1.However, when a transformer isinstalled close to the boundary lineof a power station/substation, orwhen several transformers areinstalled at the same station, it may

be necessary to employtransformers with even less noise.According to the required decrease

of noise, large-capacitytransformers are decided thecombination of various noiseenclosed constructions and cooler.

Curtain-type enclosureThe transformer tank side wallsare covered with steel plate panelsaround their outer circumference.The steel plate interiors are linedwith sound-absorbent material toprevent noise from built-up.Steel-panel noise enclosureThe transformer tank side wallsand covers are entirely coveredwith steel plate panels. Weldedconstruction is used in all assemblyof steel plate panels to minimizenoise, resulting in a highnoiseproofing effect.

Concrete-panel noise enclosureThe transformer tank side wallsand covers are entirely coveredwith a noise enclosure consisting ofconcrete and steel plate combined.Since mass of concrete-panel isgreater than that of steel plate, theconcrete-panel noise enclosureachieves greater noise reductionthan the steel-panel noiseenclosure.Concrete noise enclosureThe transformer tank side wallsand covers are entirely coveredwith a reinforced concrete wall.This construction achieves the

greatest noise-reducing effect.

Low-noise CoolerTypical coolers applicable to low-noise transformers include thefollowings:Low-noise unit cooler with low-

speed cooling fanLow-noise unit cooler with sound-

absorbing duct on the frontof cooling fan

Independent radiator of self-cooled type or forced-oil,self-cooled type

Water-cooled unit cooler

Large-capacity transformers of the100-300MVA class adopt thefollowing various types ofcombination in accordance withnoise level requirements:Noise level: 70-80 dB

The transformer tank side wallsare covered with a curtain-typeenclosure; a low-noise unitcooler with low-speed coolingfan is installed.

Noise level: 60-70 dBThe transformer tank is covered

with a steel-panel noiseenclosure; a low-noise unitcooler with low-speed cooling

fan or noise-absorbing duct isinstalled.

Noise level: 55-65 dBThe transformer tank is covered

with a concrete-panel noise

enclosure; a radiator bank orlow-noise unit cooler with noise- absorbing duct is installed.Noise level: 50- 60 dB

The transformer tank is placedin a concrete noise-enclosure.Generally, an forced-oil, self-cooled system is employed withthe radiator bank installedoutside the concrete noise-enclosure. If circumstancesrequire, a unit cooler of thewater-cooled type or super low-

noise type is installed.

Construction of Cable ConnectionAnd GIS Connection

Cable ConnectionIn urban-district substationsconnected with power cables and

thermal power stations suffered fromsalt-pollution, cable direct-coupledconstruction is used in which atransformer is direct-coupled with thepower cable in an oil chamber.Toshiba employs an indirectconnection system in which, with acable connecting chamber attachedto the transformer tank, a coilterminal is connected to the cablehead through an oil-oil bushing in thecable connection chamber.Construction of the connection

chamber can be divided intosections. Cable connections and oilfilling can be separately performedupon completion of the tankassembling.

GIS (Gas InsulatedSwitchgear) ConnectionThere is an increasing demand for

GIS in substations from thestandpoint of site-acquisitiondifficulties and environmentalharmony. In keeping with thistendency, G IS connection-typetransformers are ever-increasing intheir applications.

At Toshiba, the SF6 gas bus isconnected directly with thetransformer coil terminal through anoil-gas bushing.Toshiba's oil-gas bushing support iscomposed of a transformer-side

flange and an SF6 gas bus-sideflange, permitting the oil side and thegas side to be completely separatedfrom each other.

Transportation

It is important to transport atransformer in the same conditionas it was completely assembled,dried and tested at the factory. Thismakes it possible to ensure highreliability and to shorten the periodfor on-site installation.

A Toshiba transformer istransported in the same uprightposition as it was in finalassembling so that on-siteinstallation becomes very simple,requiring no special operations.While a transformer is intransportation, its main tank isfilledwith dry air or dry nitrogen to

completely prevent the core andcoilsfrom absorbing

moisture until final on-site oil filling.When extreme transportrestrictions are imposed, as in thecase of power stations inmountains or when roads aresubjected to weight restrictions orwhen the entrance for undergroundhoisting is narrow in the case ofinstallation with urban undergroundsubstation, the following transportprocedure is employed: A three-phase transformer is divided intosections so that one-phase sectionhoused in a tank is carried into thesite at a time, and the threesections are assembled

into the original three-phasetransformer at the site.The transformer core and coils aretransported to the site in the samecondition as it was assembled andtested at the factory, and they areoined to each other using specialducts and leads submerged in oil.When further strict transportrestrictions are imposed, a single-phase unit may be divided into twoor three sections. Toshibadelivered a 500kV, 680MVA three-phase transformer in nine sections- a record-breading product!
