About BHEL
Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) is an Indian state-owned integrated power plant equipment manufacturer and operates as engineering and manufacturing company based in New Delhi, India. BHEL was established in 1964, ushering in the indigenous Heavy Electrical Equipment industry in India. It is one of the only 7 mega Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) of India clubbed under the esteemed 'Maharatna' status. On 1 February 2013, the Government of India granted Maharatna status to Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited. It is engaged in the design, engineering, manufacture, construction, testing, commissioning and servicing of a wide range of products and services for the core sectors of the economy, viz. Power, Transmission, Industry, Transportation, Renewable Energy, Oil & Gas and Defence. It is the 7th largest power equipment manufacturer in the world. In the year 2011, it was ranked ninth most innovative company in the world by US business magazine Forbes.
BHELs global references are spread across 75 countries. The cumulative overseas installed capacity of BHEL manufactured power plants exceeds 9,000 MW across 21 countries including Malaysia, Oman, Iraq, UAE, Bhutan, Egypt and New Zealand.
TRANSFORMER
DEFINITION: A transformer is a static piece of apparatus used for the transferring power from one circuit to the other without change in frequency. It can raise or lower the voltage with a corresponding decrease or increase in current. A simplest of Transformer consists of the following : 1.Primary winding 2.Secondary winding 3.Linkage of the two by Mutual Inductance 4.And a laminated core
TRANSFORMER WINDING
Types of Winding: Disc Helical, Spiral Interleaved HELICAL WINDING To carry high current the area of cross section of the conductors should be high. This is accomplished by adopting more no. of conductors per turn. Helical winding which is spring like, suits most for the LV windings. DISC WINDING Large no. of turns Less current. Disc coils are the best choice for the HV windings where a single disc can have turns as high as 25 nos. General Winding Arrangement: TAP LV LV TAP HV HV
CORE BUILDING
Magnetic circuit is formed by CORE through which magnetic flux flows. CORE is a three or five legged construction providing the mechanical support. Coils which are of cylindrical shape are assembled over the legs. MATERIAL USED IN CORE The material used for core making is low reluctance magnetic steel containing silicon. This is called CRGO i.e. cold rolled grain oriented steel. The grain orientation is technology which ensures that the flux flow through the laminations with minimum resistance, resulting in low core loss. CRGO Imported from: 1)Nippon Steel Corporation, Yawata Works (Japan) 2)VIZ-Stal Ltd., Etakerinburg (Russia) 3)POSCO
TRANSFORMER TANK
Transformer tank is an enclosure which contains inside it the live parts such as core and winding assembly, electrical connections and insulating oil. MOST BASIC CLASSIFICATION:A.CONVENTIONAL B.BELL TYPE CONVENTIONAL TANK: A tank in which the cover is flat and tank to cover junction is at the top of the tank. BELL TYPE TANK:
A tank in which the cover is not flat in shape and the tank and cover junction is near the bottom of the tank. Thus tank has got two parts TOP TANK AND BOTTOM TANK.
TRANSFORMER COOLING
When
the transformer is in service the windings get heated up. In oil filled power transformers oil is the cooling medium for windings. Oil is in turn cooled by means of radiators /integral coolers with water/air as cooling medium.
TYPE OF COOLING
(1)ONAN COOLING
oil flow is through natural convection air flow is also natural(not forced) cooling equipment used: -radiators (2)ONAF COOLING oil flow is through natural convection air flow is not natural but forced cooling equipment used: -radiators and fans -ONAF coolers (3)OFAF COOLING Oil flow is forced by means of inline oil pumps. air flow is forced by means of fans /blowers cooling equipments used: - Radiators, fans and pumps. or integral OFAF coolers
INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMER
These are used for measurement. Actual measurement is done by measuring instruments but these transformers serve the purpose of stepping down the voltage to protect the measuring instrument. They are used in AC system for measurement of current voltage and energy and can also be used for measuring power factor, frequency and for indication of synchronism. They find application in protection of power system and for the operation of overvoltage, over current, earth fault and various other types of relays.
They are of two types. 1. Current transformer (CT) 2. Voltage transformers (VT)
TRANSFORMER TESTING
A. Routine tests B. Type tests Routine tests are conducted on each and every transformer of the lot/order. Type tests are conducted on one Transformer of a particular design and on successful passing of this test the design of the transformer is said to be validated.
Routine tests:Ratio Test Vector Group Verification Winding Resistance Core Loss Load Loss Impedance Measurement Separate Source Voltage Withstand Test Induced Over Voltage Withstand Test
Type Tests:Temperature Rise Test Lightning Impulse Test Vacuum and Pressure Test
Test Requirements:In order to ensure the suitability of transformer for various possible transients/over voltages of system, various national standards like is 2026 (part-iii) & international standard like IEC 60076-3 define the test levels & test method requirement for different tests.
The major dielectric tests applicable for EHV class transformers are: 1.lightning impulse withstand 2.switching impulse withstand 3.induced overvoltage with or without Pd measurement 4.separate source voltage withstand test
