Marking of transformers - current, voltage and power

To understand for what operating conditions a particular current or voltage transformer, as well as other types, is intended, special markings of devices are used. Domestic and imported units have different designations. In our country, installations manufactured in accordance with GOST are more often used.

Transformers are marked on a metal shield on the housing. The most common types of transformer symbols will be discussed below.

Information on the case

The information presented on the visible side of the device is applied using engraving, etching or embossing. This ensures the clarity and durability of the inscription. The metal plate contains information about the equipment manufacturer. The year of its manufacture and serial number are applied.

In addition to information about the manufacturer, there must be information about the unit. The number of the standard to which the presented design corresponds is indicated. The rated power indicator must be indicated. For three-phase devices, this parameter is given for each winding separately. Information about the voltage of the coil turns branches is indicated.

The rated current is determined for all windings. The number of installation phases and current frequency are given. The manufacturer provides data on the configuration and connection groups of the coils.

After the above information, you can familiarize yourself with the short circuit voltage parameters. Installation requirements are provided. It can be external or internal.

Technical characteristics allow you to determine the cooling method, the mass of oil in the tank (if this system is used), as well as the mass of the active part. The switch actuator indicates its position. If the installation has a dry type of cooling, there is data on the power of the installation when the fan is turned off.

The serial number must be stamped under the shield. It is present on the tank. The number is indicated on the cover near the HV input, as well as on the top and left on the core beam flange.

The transformer includes the following components: core, windings, main insulation, taps, voltage regulation device, tank, cooling system, protective devices, bushings. The core of the transformer consists of vertical rods covered at the top and bottom with yokes, forming a closed three-phase magnetic circuit. The lamination of the magnetic system plates is carried out according to the scheme with a full oblique joint on the outer rods and a combined joint on the middle rod. The rods are tied using pressing plates and one-piece bandages made of glass tape, yokes - with yoke beams and metal half-bandages. The windings are cylindrical, made of rectangular wire of the APB brand and are located concentrically on the core rod in the following order, counting from the rod: NN, VN, RO.

Scheme

All data shown on the plate can be divided into 6 groups. In order not to get confused in the information, you should consider the sequence of its writing. For example, installation ATDTsTN-125000/220/110/10-U 1. The following groups are used to mark the features of the device:

  • Group I. A - Designed to indicate the type of device (power or autotransformer).
  • Group II. T - Corresponds to the type of network for which the device is used (single-phase, three-phase).
  • III group. DC – Cooling system with forced circulation of oil and air.
  • IV group. T – Shows the number of windings (three-winding).
  • V group. N – Voltage is regulated under load.
  • VI group. All numbers (rated power, voltage of HV MV windings, climatic version, placement category).

You should learn more about each category. This will make the choice much easier.

DECODING OF THE NAMES OF CURRENT TRANSFORMERS

The following abbreviations are used for current transformers:

Note:

For the series TV, TVT, TVS, TVU;

For the TNP, TNPSh series - with alternating current magnetization;

For the TShV, TVG series;

For TVVG - 24 - water cooling;

For the TNP, TNPSh series;

For the TV, TVT, TVS, TVU series - the rated voltage of the equipment;

For the TNP, TNPSh series - the number of cable cores to be wrapped around;

For the TNP, TNPSh series - rated voltage.

Varieties

The designation of transformers necessarily begins with the type of equipment. If the marking begins with the letter A, it is an autotransformer. Its absence indicates that the unit belongs to the class of power transformers.

The number of phases is required. This allows you to choose an installation operating from a household or industrial network. If the transformer is connected to a three-phase network, the marking will contain a T. Single-phase varieties have the letter O. They are used in household networks.

If the device has a split winding, it will have a P. If there is on-load voltage regulation (OLTC), the device will be marked H on the metal plate. If it is absent, we can conclude that the presented feature is absent in the device.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The nomenclature of transformers (decoding the alphabetic and digital designations of the name) is not regulated by any regulatory documents, but is entirely determined by the equipment manufacturer. Therefore, if the name of your transformer cannot be deciphered, then contact its manufacturer or look at the product data sheet. The following explanations of the letters and numbers of the names of transformers are relevant for domestic products.

The name of the transformer consists of letters and numbers, each of which has its own meaning. When deciphering the name, it should be taken into account that some of them may be absent from it altogether (for example, the letter “A” in the name of a regular transformer), while others are mutually exclusive (for example, the letters “O” and “T”).

Special designations

Depending on the installation category, special symbols may apply. For a current and voltage transformer, they may not be the same. The second type of technique is used when operating protective mechanisms or for measuring current. The first category of devices is intended to change the value of alternating current.

Voltage transformers do not use high power transmission of electricity. They are capable of creating isolation from low-voltage communications. This category of devices is used in circuits with a voltage of 12V or less. Their main operating parameters are the current and voltage of the primary winding. It is their value that is provided by the manufacturer.

The marking of voltage transformers begins with their design. If this is a walk-through structure, it is designated by the letter P. If it is not there, this is a supporting type of apparatus. The cast insulator is marked L, and the porcelain insulator is marked F. The built-in insulator is marked V.

Decoding of modern current transformers is carried out in the established sequence. It begins with T, which characterizes the devices presented. The installation method can be through-type (P), support (O) or busbar (W). If this device is present in the equipment of power transformers, it is designated as VT. If it is built into the oil switch, then the marking will have the letter B. When installed externally, the device will have an H.

DECODING OF THE NAMES OF VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS

The following abbreviations are used for voltage transformers:

Table 3 - Decoding of alphabetic and digital designations of the name of the voltage transformer

Note:

Accessory for the NOSC series;

With compensation winding for NTMK series;

In addition to the NOL and ZNOL series, in which:

— 06 — for installation in closed conductors, indoor switchgear and switchgear;

— 08 — for indoor and outdoor indoor and outdoor switchgear and switchgear;

— 11 — for explosive switchgear.

Cooling system

The transformer symbol continues with the cooling method. Today, there are dry, oil-based varieties. Also, the cooling unit may contain a non-flammable fluid dielectric.

Oil varieties include about a dozen different equipment designs. If the circulation of liquid inside is carried out naturally, the device has an M on the panel. If it is forced, the designation D will be present here. It also corresponds to dry varieties of devices with an internal circulation device presented.

If equipment with natural oil movement and forced water flow is installed, it is marked with the combination MV. For devices with forced circulation of non-directional oil flow and natural air movement, a combination of MCs is used. If in such a device the direction of the oil is clearly indicated, the marking will be NMC.

For systems with forced non-directional movement of oil and air, the designation DC is used, and for directional movement - NDC. When the oil moves in the space between the pipes and partitions through which water flows, such a unit has the letter C on the shield. If the oil flows along a directed vector, the device is marked NC.

Cooling system with liquid dielectric

Today, new types of devices with various improved cooling systems are being put into operation. One of them is equipment with a non-flammable liquid dielectric. If cooling occurs through natural circulation, the presented installation is designated by the letter N. If there is forced air movement, the marking will be ND.

On the plate of units with a directed flow of liquid dielectric and forced air circulation, the NND is indicated. This allows you to choose the right type of equipment.

Auxiliary transformer (MV)

An auxiliary transformer is a power equipment that serves to provide the substation with an operational current of 110 V. A device of this type is installed by descending from a 10 kilovolt bus bridge. Power equipment is used by an indicator of operation of automation and protection.

To reduce losses, TM-63 models are installed at substations, and in rare cases TM-160. Read the device of TM and TMG in this article.

The purpose of TSN requires constant operation of the equipment. Therefore, an automatic transfer system (ATS) is also connected, which allows you to transfer power from one substation to another. Traction batteries are used as a backup element.

Dry systems

One of the new varieties is dry cooling systems. They are easy to operate and maintain, not demanding and not capricious. If the installation is open and air circulation occurs naturally, it is marked as C.

The protected version is designated by the letters SZ. The housing can be closed from the influence of various environmental factors; it is called hermetically sealed. With natural air circulation in it, the marking has the letters SG.

Air cooling systems may have forced circulation. In this case, the device is designated by the letters SD.

general characteristics

Split-winding transformers are transformers with a winding divided into 2 or more galvanically unconnected elements.

Such transformers are usually installed at large substations of regional electrical networks and power plants, as well as power supply systems of industrial enterprises. This allows you to connect two or more generators (or independent loads) of the same or different voltage classes to one transformer.

Figure 1.1 shows the designation of a transformer with a split winding in the diagram.

Figure 1.1 – Designation on the diagram

When there is a short circuit in the circuit of one of the parts of the split winding, voltages and currents appear in the other windings of the transformer that are significantly lower than in the same transformer with an unsplit low voltage winding. Such a transformer, with sufficient accuracy for practice, can be considered as 2 independent two-winding transformers, powered from the general network.

Execution

Installations may differ from each other in their design features. If they have forced water circulation, the letter B on the body will make it clear. If there is protection against thunderstorms and lightning, the design is marked G.

The system may have natural circulation of oil or non-flammable dielectric. At the same time, in some varieties protection with a nitrogen cushion is used. It does not have expanders or leads in the flanges of the tank walls. The designation has the letter Z.

Cast insulation is designated as L. The suspended version is designated by the letter P. The improved category of devices is designated as U. They may have automatic on-load tap-changers.

Equipment with leads and an expander installed on the flanges of the tank walls is marked with the letter F. An energy-saving device has reduced energy losses at idle. It is designated by the letter E.

Output for repair

The power transformer TRDN 110/35/10 kV is taken out for repair using operational switching forms. The latter are developed based on the primary connection diagram and the switching devices used. To carry out this task you will need:

  1. To remove it for repair, the load on the 10 and 35 kilovolt side is removed.
  2. Disconnection of the 110 kV side is carried out through a short circuit-isolator connection or using SF6 circuit breakers.
  3. The output of overlays and automation is carried out on the basis of a relay circuit. The TSN load is transferred. According to the mode, ZON-110 kV is turned on.

Grounding is carried out on each side from which voltage can be supplied. The grounding blades on the switch or on the transformer disconnector RLNDz-110 are turned on, the circuit breaker on the 35 kV MV is turned on, and portable grounding is installed on the 10 kV bus bridge.

Purpose

After the category of performance features, information about the purpose and scope of the equipment is presented. Marking with the letter B indicates the ability of the structure to warm up the soil or concrete in winter. A transformer intended for drilling rigs may have the same designation.

When electrifying the railway, installations with special properties and characteristics are needed. They are marked with the letter Z. Devices with the designation M are used at metallurgical plants.

When transmitting direct current through a line, class P structures are needed. Units for ensuring the operation of submersible pumps are designated as PN.

If the unit is used for the power plant’s own needs, it belongs to category C. Type TO is used for processing soil and concrete at high temperatures, providing electricity for temporary lighting and hand tools.

In coal mines transformers of the Sh variety are used, and in the electrical power supply system of an excavator - E.

Characteristics of the TSL transformer

Numbers

The listed designations may be followed by numerical values. This is the rated winding voltage in kV, power in kVA. For autotransformers, information about the voltage of the MV winding is added.

The marking may contain the first year of manufacture of the presented design. The power of the units can be 20.40, 63, 160, 630, 1600 kVA, etc. This indicator is selected in accordance with the operating conditions. Higher power equipment is available. This parameter can reach 200, 500 MVA.

The duration of use of Soviet-made transformers is about 50 years. Therefore, modern energy communications can use equipment manufactured before 1968. They are periodically improved and reconstructed during major overhauls.

What is a power transformer and its purpose

This is a device that converts the amplitude of alternating voltage, leaving its frequency unchanged. The operation of such a device is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. We will not be distracted by its description; all detailed information can be found on the pages of our website.

The main scope of application of ST is related to the transmission and distribution of electricity, this is presented in a simplified manner in the figure below.


Electricity transmission scheme

As can be seen from the figure, several CTs can be installed in the circuit between the generator and the consumer. The first increases the voltage to 110 kV (the higher it is, the lower the losses during long-distance transmission) and supplies it to the power line. At the output of the line, a second CT is installed at the regional substation, from where transmission is carried out via an underground cable to the transformer point, from where the end consumers are powered.

Calculation of parameters

Figure 1.2 shows the equivalent circuit of a transformer with a split winding.

Figure 1.2 – Transformer equivalent circuit

Transformers with split winding are made with a winding power ratio equal to 100% / 50% / 50% []. For transformers with a split winding, the individual parameters are: – splitting resistance ZP (equal to the resistance between the terminals of the two branches of the split winding):

since the branches are the same:

– through resistance Zrms = ZV-N, equal to the resistance between the terminals of the high voltage winding and the combined (paralleled) branches of the split low voltage winding;

– coefficient of splitting of the CR is equal to:

The parameters of the equivalent circuit are determined by the following formulas:

To determine Z we use the formulas:

R is determined by the following formulas:

X will be calculated using the formulas:

kT H-B is determined by the formula:

Safety requirements and environmental protection

General technical conditions for power transformers are given in [4]. GOST includes technical requirements, safety requirements, including fire safety requirements, environmental protection requirements, operating instructions, transportation and storage. Safety requirements must also comply with [5, 6]. According to standard [5], transformer tanks are grounded.

The degree of protection of transformers is determined by the standard [6]. It states that all transformers, except built-in ones, must be made with protection class 1 or 2 and have a degree of protection of at least IP20. Stationary transformers, in turn, can be manufactured with a degree of protection IP00. The system of standards [4] provides requirements for transformer disposal. It describes the following series of actions:

  • transformer oil should be drained and sent for regeneration;
  • metal components of the transformer must be recycled;
  • porcelain insulators, electrical cardboard, rubber seals must be sent to a solid waste landfill.
