All distribution (power) transformers are tested at HPS prior to shipment. Transformers must meet a
very exacting criteria to be certified acceptable for release. Tests are categorized as ‘Production Tests’
and ‘Type Tests’. Production Tests are applied to every transformer. Type Tests are required either to
qualify a new product or to further certify a production product. Type tests are optional and are available
at an additional cost.

MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
Hammond Power Solutions produces the most reliable, technologically superior medium voltage
distribution (power) transformers in the market today.
This is a result of continuing development in all phases of the design and manufacturing processes
in meeting the requirements of a broad range of customers and the most onerous applications. Our dry
type transformers are now the largest in kVA and impulse voltage level of any manufacturer.
Additionally, these transformers have demonstrated improved withstand ability to short circuits and

laminations. Cores are precision cut to close
tolerances using modern equipment, to eliminate
burrs and minimize losses. They feature core
construction that optimizes energy efficiency.
The core is resin sealed to prevent the
ingress of moisture.
Coil Construction
Coils are either layer (barrel) or disc wound
to suit the voltage class. Typically, disc wound
coils are utilized above 8.7 kV class. Available in
aluminium or copper, windings are designed with
wire or foil conductors for optimum performance
for the application.
Disc wound coils feature comb construction
to electrically balance voltage stresses over the full
length of the coil.
All internal connections are brazed or TIG or
MIG welded.

Insulation
Typically HPS dry-type medium voltage distribution (power) transformers are manufactured with a
220°C insulation system. High temperature resistant materials are used including NOMEX® Aramid
papers, silicone coated fiberglass, NOMEX® sleeving, supersil duct sticks and pressure sensitive glass
tape. All materials meet or exceed UL standards for use on dry-type medium voltage distribution (power)
transformers.

The picture below shows how low voltage bus

bars are bolted to the upper or lower steel support

Other optional termination methods are available.
- 16 -

Impregnation
It is critical that transformers maintain the integrity of the dielectric properties of the insulation
materials essential for long-term life expectancy. In order to meet designed life expectancies, transformers
must not be compromised during the impregnation process.
At HPS, transformer coils are impregnated with two complete vacuum-pressure impregnating cycles:
• Coils are placed in a sealed tank and a full vacuum is drawn.

• The impregnation resin is then introduced into the chamber and the coils, or assembly, are then
completely immersed in the impregnation resin.
SECTION 3
- 17 -

Impregnation continued
• The tank is then pressurized to force the impregnation resin to thoroughly penetrate the windings.
• The coils or assembly are then removed from the chamber and oven cured.
• A complete second impregnating cycle follows to ensure thorough and complete impregnation.
SECTION 3
The result are transformer coils which exhibit virtually partial

discharge free performance, a superior resistance to environmental
conditions and a new standard of reliability even for the most
onerous industrial, utility or commercial applications.

VACUUM IMPREGNATION
Polyester Resin Impregnation

For most general purpose indoor transformer applications regardless of voltage class, our ‘HPSI’
resin impregnation system is preferred. This material is a blend of resins that exhibit much higher dielec-
tric strength and bonding properties than any varnishes previously used or other encapsulations including
oil modified epoxies. This resin system is ideal for transformers in meeting the following requirements:
 Low moisture absorption
 High dielectric strength

 High bond strength
 Excellent mechanical properties
 Stability at high temperatures

DRY-TYPE TRANSFORMERS
The Better Alternative to Liquid Filled
Transformer technology, like many other technologies, has evolved of the last 50 years. During this
period of evolution advances are made and set backs occur. Sometimes what may seem as a
breakthrough one year becomes a risk years or decades later. Liquid filled (specifically PCB filled) trans-
formers is a great example of this. What was once thought as the best way to cool transformers became,
as we know decades later, a great environmental disaster. Much has been published on retrofit and
retrofit alternatives. It is important to look at the three main contenders for replacing PCB-filled
transformers; namely mineral oil, silicone and dry-type transformers. Transformers can be classified into
three major groups depending on the type of coolant used.
In liquid filled transformers, the cooling and dielectric media can be mineral oil, silicone fluids,
aliphatic hydrocarbon, esters or other similar fluids which remain in a liquid state during the operation of
the transformer.
In liquid vapor condensation transformers, core and coils are immersed in a low boiling point fluid
such as Tri-tetrachlorobenzene. This fluid evaporates, taking transformer heat away as its latent heat and
then returns in liquid form through condensation in the radiator tubes.
In dry-type transformers, air is used as the cooling and dielectric medium. In the last 25 years this
SECTION 4
transformer type has received much attention and considerable technological improvements have been
made. Today, dry-type transformers are available up to 35 MVA and 44 kV system voltages at 250 kV BIL.
Most are manufactured with vacuum pressure impregnation in polyester or silicone varnish. For tougher
environmental conditions, VPI epoxy sealed and cast resin transformers have also been developed.
Criteria for Selecting a Transformer
Fire Risks (see table 1 - page 23)

Due to the high cost of low voltage cable or bus, it has become a trend to bring high voltage lines
close to installed loads. For cost reasons, transformers are located in habitable areas such as buildings
where fire risk has to be minimized. Additionally, the fire risks in chemical and mining industries
necessitated non-flammable equipment. It was for these applications that liquids were first used.
To minimize the fire risk, the coolant should be non-flammable or exhibiting a high flash and fire
point, and have a low rate of fire propagation if on fire. Factory Mutual has under taken extensive studies
on conductive and radiant heat release rates when transformers are on fire. The heat release rate
determines how fast the surrounding materials will catch on fire. Obviously, the lowest possible rate is
preferred.
Health and Environmental Concerns

Health concerns have always been sensitive and now there is an increased awareness of envi-
ronmental issues as well. Since the early 1970s, PCBs have been linked with many health risks and their
use is banned in almost all environmentally aware countries.
It is essential that when selecting the best transformer solution, you ensure that the transformer
uses biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials. Although the health concerns of both mineral
oil and silicone fluids as a cooling medium in transformers currently are considered negligible, one cannot
- 20 -
The Better Alternative to Liquid Filled continued
ignore the environmental impact of such fluids during a failure and possible fire of a transformer using
these materials. Dry-Type transformers use air as a coolant, and hence health and environmental concern
disappear. Insulation and support structures are considered environmentally safe for all transformers.
Insulation (see table 2 - page 23)

Since higher temperature insulations are more expensive, it is a design practice to use insulation
temperature classes equal to or less than the coolant temperature class. Table 2 lists the insulation
temperature classes available for the various coolants.
The major insulation used in liquid cooled transformers is kraft paper. Both mineral oil and
silicone have good dielectric characteristics, with the dielectric constant close to kraft paper, which makes
them suitable for very high voltages, i.e. 765 kV systems.
Dry-type transformers, for those of 500 kVA and larger, are designed typically with 220°C
insulation systems where aramid paper, NOMEX®, is the major insulation. NOMEX® has a high dielectric
tensile and compression strength. Of further benefit, dry-type core and coils are protected against
moisture by vacuum pressure impregnation with polyester or epoxy varnishes. This tougher insulating
material together with the impregnation process improves the short circuit mechanical strength over liquid
SECTION 4
cooled transformers. The dielectric property of coolant air does restrict the use of dry type transformers to
44 kV systems, with 250 kV BIL.
Performance Comparison (see table 3 - page 23)

With increased energy costs and space limitations, transformer losses and size is vital.
Technological advances in dry-type transformer construction have made possible a substantial reduction
in overall dimensions. Even though dry-type core and coils are larger than the equivalent liquid cooled
transformer, overall dimensions of dry-type transformers are smaller. This is possible as dry-type
transformers do not require space for cooling radiators or transition cells.
The no-load losses of liquid cooled transformers tend to be slightly lower than dry-types. The real
difference appears in the load losses. Dry-type transformers operate at higher temperatures resulting in
higher thermal resistance and moderately higher load losses.
Since liquid acts as a sound absorbent, liquid cooled transformers have a slightly lower audible
sound level. However, lower loss levels and resultant lower sound levels are possible for each type of
transformer with some impact on the relative price and size.
Installation Costs (see table 4 - page 23)

As there are no radiator banks used in dry-type transformers, it is easy to terminate bus work in
any desired location. This makes coordination with switchgear extremely simple and provides an
aesthetically pleasing arrangement.
Disconnecting chambers are often required for liquid filled transformers resulting in additional
cost. This will facilitate either a space constraint or an unusual installation.
The relative first cost of a transformer is given in Table 3 (see page 23), but the total installation
cost is more important to the end user.
Liquid filled transformers require catch basins or curbs to contain the liquid in case of a leak in the
- 21 -
The Better Alternative to Liquid Filled continued
tank. Additionally, pressure release valves for hermetically sealed units, and in some instances
disconnecting chambers for bus coordination, all add significantly to the total installed cost. For some
installations, the heat release rate of the transformer liquid may require much more air space above and
surrounding the transformer. Moreover, depending on site location, many insurance companies charge
substantially higher premiums.
Table 4 (on page 23) lists some of the cost additions for different types of transformers. It should
be noted that not all cost additions are necessarily applied together. The first cost of a transformer tends
to favour liquid cooled transformers as the system voltage and BIL go up, particularly above 150 kV BIL.
In retrofitting difficult installations, particularly in locations with narrow passageways or where access is
limited, enclosures of dry-type transformers can be knocked down. Removable bus work is also an
effective option at the design stage.
Maintenance Considerations
Transformers in general require a low degree of maintenance. Dry-type transformers require an
annual inspection and cleaning of dust.
Periodic inspection for leaks and rust is required for liquid cooled transformers. Liquid coolants

need monitoring and have to be reconditioned when necessary. Gauges and fan operation have to be
examined annually.
Transformers are inherently reliable pieces of equipment. However, in case of difficulty, dry-types
can be easily inspected and minor repairs concluded on site.
In the case of liquid cooled transformers, the core and coil have to be removed from the tank for
inspection. This can be both messy and costly, and repairs on site are often not practical.
The core and coil assembly in a liquid filled transformer is isolated from atmospheric
contamination when the tank is hermetically sealed, or air is brought in through a silica-gel breather in a
free breathing transformer. The cost is only slightly above that of an indoor liquid transformer, and hence
liquid filled transformers are popular for outdoor applications.
Dry-type transformers are also available for outdoor applications in EEMAC or NEMA type 3R or
4 enclosures. Both are at a higher premium over an indoor transformer.
Conclusion
For current applications, over 250 kV BIL and for units over 35 MVA, liquid cooled transformers
are for now the only solution.
For higher voltage applications in fire risk areas, silicone transformers are a normal choice, but
again environmental concerns should be considered.
For indoor or outdoor applications, up to 250 kV BIL and up to 35 MVA (45 MVA with additional
fan cooling), dry-type transformers offer the most cost effective solution with many design advantages
and minimizes the environmental and health risks.

VPI vs. Cast Coil

The selection of HPS VPI transformers introduces a number of significant benefits versus cast
coil transformers for most applications. Cast coil transformers have found a level of acceptance in North
America and Europe but have fallen from favour due to the very high number of field incidences involving
this type of construction.
Winding Technology
The HPS VPI transformer for 60 BIL and higher utilizes disc wound high voltage windings. This
type of winding results in a very balanced electrical and mechanical winding without the potential of
severe voltage stresses between layers. The total voltage of the winding is more evenly distributed along
the full length of the winding. Essentially, the high voltage winding conductors are divided into twenty or
more sections where the voltage difference between the sections is substantially reduced. Typically, the
difference in potential between consecutive sections is between 500 and 1000 volts.
Cast coil transformers use layer or barrel type windings which do not result in as balanced a
design for voltage over the full length of the coil. The total winding conductors, in a layer winding, are
divided over only three or four consecutive layers. This results in a type of construction that has much
SECTION 4
higher voltage stresses between turns. The potential difference can be 4000 to 10000 volts between the
start and finish position of consecutive layers. This is much more susceptible to surge or impulse damage.
VPI Encapsulation vs. Cast
The massive amount of cast resin necessary for a cast coil high voltage and/or low voltage
winding is actually detrimental to the life expectancy of the unit. The co-efficient of expansion of the VPI
material is substantially less than that of the copper or aluminum conductors in the winding and cannot
keep up with particularly cyclical loads that quickly heat and subsequently cool the coils.
In the example of industrial loads where the transformer experiences periods of load followed by
no load, the cast resin is expanding and contracting at quite a different rate than the transformer coils.
Eventually, and that period would appear to be from five to seven years, the cast resin fatigues, cracks
appear and sections of will in fact fall away from the winding. This has been experienced and docu-
mented from field installations of cast coil transformers. The VPI transformer with its encapsulation of the
coils, is far better able to accommodate cyclical loads without fatigue to the resin. VPI transformers have
been in service since their inception over 40 years ago.
- 24 -
VPI vs. Cast Coil continued
Temperature Rise
Epoxy cast transformers are limited to a temperature of 100°C. The maximum hot spot shifts in a
cast coil transformer to the center of the coil near the core, and the lower temperature rise becomes
necessary to keep the cast resin from deteriorating.
VPI transformers maintain the traditional maximum hot spot at the top of the coil, near the core,
resulting in a far more efficient cooling process.
Impulse Characteristics
VPI transformers are designed with creep distances and clearances to meet the actual voltage
class and impulse dimensional requirements.
Cast coil transformers are slightly more compact, but necessitate the cast resin, and its integrity,
SECTION 4
to meet the impulse requirements. Any cracks or voids in the cast resin will result in creep distances less
than standard that will lead to unit failure.
VPI transformers meet impulse and creep distances even without the encapsulation.
Short Circuit Withstand
The short circuit withstand ability of HPS VPI transformers is paramount.
A recent test transformer was subjected to a 4 second continuous asymmetrical short circuit,
equivalent to the test for a cast coil transformer, plus a complete series of short circuit to meet the ANSI
test requirements.
In all, the VPI units accumulated 9 1/2 seconds of short circuit. The unit passed the test
flawlessly. The impedance of the transformer did not change at all, even though the test instrument was a
3 decimal digital measuring device.
HPS takes very strong exception to any position that cast coil transformers are superior in any
way to VPI transformers. We believe and have proven quite the contrary that VPI transformers are not
only equivalent but superior to cast coil transformers for almost any application.

MEDIUM VOLTAGE Distribution transformer

ENERGY EFFICIENCY GUIDELINES
In the past several years, there has been an accelerated rate of change to introduce energy
efficiency standards for transformers in North America. In addition to the benefits to the environment,
energy efficient transformers realize substantial savings in operating costs, thereby having a direct impact
on the initial investment evaluated over a period of time.
United States - Energy Efficiency Regulations

In the U.S. all medium voltage dry-type distribution transformers (as defined below) manufactured
after January 1st, 2010, must meet the minimum energy efficiency standards outlined in DOE 10 CFR
Part 431. The range of product covered by these standards are:
Primary (high) Voltage 601V to 34.5 kV

Secondary (low) Voltage 600V and below
Dry-Type Single Phase 15-833 kVA
Rating Three Phase 15-2500 kVA

Canada - Energy Efficiency Regulations

In Canada, all medium voltage dry-type distribution transformers (as defined below) manufactured
after January 1st, 2005, must meet the minimum energy efficiency guidelines as per CSA C802.2.
NRCan has recently evaluated the U.S. DOE 10 CFR Part 431 efficiency levels and determined they are
more cost effective than thus, suitable for use in Canada. As a result, in 2010 the Canadian Energy
Efficiency Act - Energy Efficiency Regulations (SOR/94-651) will be updated and the regulation will
harmonize the minimum efficiency levels with those established in the U.S. DOE 10 CFR Part 431. At the
time of printing of this catalog, these harmonized efficiency levels were proposed only; but HPS believes
these efficiency standards will be added to the Canadian Efficiency Regulations in the near future.
The range of product covered by these standards are:
Primary (high) Voltage Over 1.2 kV
Secondary (low) Voltage Less than 4000 Amps
Dry-Type Single Phase 15-833 kVA
Rating Three Phase 15-7500 kVA

HPS ENCLOSURES
An enclosure is a surrounding case constructed to provide a degree of protection to personnel
against access to hazardous parts and to provide a degree of protection to the enclosed equipment
against specified environmental conditions.
Applicable Engineering Standards

HPS Enclosures are designed in accordance with the following standards:
• CSA 22.2 No. 47 (General Purpose)

• CSA 22.2 No. 94 (Specialty Enclosures)
• NEMA 250
• UL 50 and UL 50E
Please ensure to reference all local and national electrical codes and applicable transformer
standards before selecting an enclosure for your application.
Definitions
Degree of protection: The extent of protection provided by an enclosure against access to
hazardous parts, against ingress of foreign solid objects and/or against
ingress of water and verified by approved standardized test methods.
Hazardous parts: A part that is hazardous to approach or to touch.
Indoor Locations: Areas which are protected from exposure to the weather.
Non-ventilated: Constructed so as to provide no intentional circulation of external air
through the enclosure.
Outdoor locations: Locations that are exposed to the weather.
Ventilated: Constructed so as to provide for the circulation of external air through the
enclosure to remove excess heat, fumes or vapors.
SECTION 6
Enclosure Selection
The selection of the appropriate enclosure is vital for the long term reliability of your HPS product.
The “degree of protection” an enclosure actually provides can only be determined by referencing
the appropriate test methods outlined in the above mentioned standards.
The list below is just some of the typical enclosure types available for HPS products, their
applications, and the environmental conditions they are designed to meet.
HPS Typical Enclosure Types

TYPE 1
This is a general purpose ventilated enclosure constructed for indoor use only to provide a degree of
protection to personnel against access to hazardous parts; to provide a degree of protection of the
equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects (falling dirt).
- 34 -
TYPE 2
equipment inside the enclosure against the ingress of solid foreign objects (falling dirt); and to provide a
degree of protection with respect to harmful effects on the equipment due to the ingress of water (dripping
or light splashing).
TYPE 3RI
equipment inside the enclosure against the ingress of solid foreign objects (falling dirt); and to provide a
degree of protection with respect to harmful effects on the equipment due to the ingress of water
(sprinkler head spray, light splashing of liquids).
TYPE 3R
This is a general purpose ventilated enclosure constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to
provide a degree of protection to personnel against access to hazardous parts; to provide a degree of
protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against the ingress of solid foreign objects (falling dirt);
and to provide a degree of protection with respect to harmful effects on the equipment due to the ingress
of water (rain, sleet, snow); and that will be undamaged by the external formation of ice on the enclosure.
TYPE 3RE
This is a general purpose ventilated enclosure constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to
protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against the ingress of solid foreign objects (falling dirt
and blowing non-conductive dust ); and to provide a degree of protection with respect to harmful effects
on the equipment due to the ingress of water (rain, sleet, windblown snow); and that will be undamaged
by the external formation of ice on the enclosure.
TYPE 4
SECTION 6
This is a general purpose non-ventilated enclosure constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to
protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against the ingress of solid foreign objects (falling dirt
and windblown dust); and to provide a degree of protection with respect to harmful effects on the
equipment due to the ingress of water (rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, and hose directed water); and
that will be undamaged by the external. (Note: not submersible)
TYPE 4X
This is a general purpose non-ventilated enclosure constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to
protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against the ingress of solid foreign objects (windblown
dust); and to provide a degree of protection with respect to harmful effects on the equipment due to the
ingress of water (rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, and hose directed water); that provides an additional
level of protection against corrosion; and that will be undamaged by the external formation of ice on the
enclosure. (Note: not submersible)
- 35 -
TYPE 12
This is a general purpose non-ventilated enclosure constructed (without knockouts) for indoor use
only to provide a degree of protection to personnel against access to hazardous parts; to provide a
degree of protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against the ingress of solid foreign objects
(falling dirt and circulating dust, lint, fibers, and flyings); and to provide a degree of protection with respect
to harmful effects on the equipment due to the ingress of water (dripping and light splashing). (Note: not
submersible)
