Manufactured according to
IEC 60076-11, IEC 60146-1-3,
IEC 61378-1.
Options:
These transformers for VSD are used in several applications such as:
Traction
Propulsion
Rectification
Excitation
Specialized transformers
Non-standard transformers
Transformers for variable speed drives, are non standard transformers due to the
distortion created by harmonics:
No-linear impedance.
Current dependant
resistances: Arc furnaces,
welding machines, fluorescent
lamps
Voltage dependant
inductance: Transformers and
core reactors.
Switching on saturable
inductance as induction
motors or transformers.
The quotient of the r.m.s. value of the sum of all the harmonic
components up to a specific order and the r.m.s. value of the
fundamental component:
Qh

h= H

Even order.
Inter harmonics.
Special design I
Due to the flow of harmonic currents in both Low voltage and high voltage
windings, there are extra losses and extra heating, thus the transformer
must be over rated according to a higher equivalent power.
Due to the flow of harmonic currents through the network and transformer
impedance, there is a voltage distortion (voltage harmonics) on the
transformer magnetic core, which could saturate. To avoid core saturation,
the magnetic core must be over sized.
Special design II
In order to avoid capacitate coupling between high voltage and low voltage and
to protect the power electronics devices on low voltage side from over voltages in
HV side, it is recommended to place an electrostatic shield between high voltage
and low voltage windings.
