So whyCast Resin Transformers?

Advantageous capabilities of the enclosure:Instead of transformer bays or cable housings,a simple enclosure can be used for accessprevention. Enclosures can be complementedwith the provision of high voltage flanges andlow voltage cabinets to provide focal stations.

Simple increased performance:Through optimised forced ventilation there is anincrease in performance of about 40%.

High short time overload capability:The current density in the winding with cast resintransformers is considerably lower than with oiltransformers. Short time load peaks, such as withwind power installations, can be easily overcomewithout there being a need to plan the relevantoversizing.

The advantages speak for themselves:

Minimal fire risk:Cast resin moulding material is not very flammableand can be self-extinguishing. There are no specialfire prevention coatings, with associated fireconditions, the calorific potential of the cast resintransformer is minimal and there are no dangerousfire gases capable of long-term damage.

No coolants:Cast resin transformers only need air for cooling.Liquid coolants – of whichever chemical type –cannot be released into the environment. Thereis therefore nonrequirement for bunding a castresin transformer, which would be required for aliquid cooled type.

Unrestricted installation possibilities:The transformer is a key component in theelectrical supply network, and speed of installationcan be valuable. A cast resin transformer is easilyaccommodated, for example, no blast walls arenecessary. Consequently, the planning of theinstallation is simplified and installation costs aresaved.

The high voltage winding is the centrepiece ofthe cast resin transformer. Herein lies SGB’s greattechnical know-how.Core and low voltage winding are also importantfor the overall design, as all components arenaturally interdependent.

One of the characteristics of cast resintransformers is that the conductors of the highvoltage winding are completely encapsulated ina cast resin body with a smooth surface. Thiscan only be carried out in moulded formers undervacuum. SGB’s production technology andmaterials used can also be distinguished throughimportant unique features which set them aparttechnically from other cast resin transformersand make them a very dependable and veryreliable solution.

R eserves-equippedThermal loads make overload possibleSGB Cast Resin Transformers not only have anadvantage over oil transformers but also castresin transformers incorporating establishedalternative designs. These use a high voltagewinding design where the conductor consistsof aluminium foil strip and the coil/layer insulationis plastic. The insulation level of this type ofsystem can only be considered as class F, whenconsidering the insulation system as a whole.It is quite different with SGB Cast ResinTransformers as SGB uses insulated profile wiresfor a double layer winding where the primaryinsulation either consists of a high heat resistantpolyesterimide coating with a temperature indexof 200°C or Nomex thread winding of thetemperature class C (220°C). As the operatingtemperature of SGB Cast Resin Transformersrarely reaches the limit of the temperature classF (155°C), the primary insulation has sizeabletemperature reserves.

E ndurance-enhancedGuarantee high service lifeCast resin transformers must emit the resultingheat in the windings over the surface area ofthe coils to the cooler air surrounding thetransformer. This has to be achieved with respectto the winding insulation class and withoutexceeding the average winding temperature, orthe Hot-Spot temperature. The necessary coolingrequirements can be calculated by consideringthe heat transfer coefficient, the ambienttemperature, the surface temperature of thecoil, and the size of the surface area.

5

With cast resin transformers of alternativedesigns, only the inner and outer surface area’sof the high voltage cylindrical coil are availablefor cooling. To provide the necessary surfaceareas for cooling, the coils must be larger. SGBdesign of a double layer winding in comparisonsimply allows for the introduction of additionalcooling ducts inside the coil. In this way veryefficient cooling is achieved. SGB Cast ResinCoils can therefore be equipped with severalcooling ducts.

SGB Cast Resin Transformers use appropriatematerials and design to guarantee a consistentdistribution of temperature inside the coil.The optimised cooling enables a reduction intemperature for the high voltage winding andfurthermore a consistently distributedtemperature for the entire transformer.

• Regular coil winding of other transformersleads to much greater voltage stress, especiallyon the input coils, because 70 % of the shockimpact does not apply on the first 30 % of thecoils. The risk of winding short circuitstherefore increases significantly.

Q uantum-leapOvercome temperature shocks reliablyCast resin transformers are subject to greatmechanical and thermal shocks and strains intheir transport and in particular when operated.Therefore of great importance is the ability of thetransformer to safely control spasmodictemperature increases.

A decisive factor in this feature is the constructionof the cast resin composite material, into whichthe conductors are moulded. This dependsespecially upon the tensile stress and the thermalcoefficients of expansion of the compositematerial in relation to the winding material. Withmany cast resin transformers this compositematerial is comprised of epoxy resin which ismixed to over 70 % with a mineral bulking agent,mainly quartz powder. Such a composite materialcan reach the tensile strength of the epoxy resin,about 50 N/mm. With the thermal coefficients ofexpansion the value of aluminium can roughly bemet with maximum mineral filling but remainsclearly above that of copper. This is the reasonwhy cast resin transformers of usual technologywere only available for decades with aluminiumconductors. Recently there has been animprovement through an additional concentrationof glass fibre on the surface.

It is quite different with SGB. Here the compositesystem is comprised of a glass fibre concentratedepoxy resin between the layers and on the surfacewith high tensile strength in the area of 120 N/mmand a coefficient of expansion which is equallyclose to that of copper and aluminium. SGB CastResin Transformers are produced with both

copper and aluminium winding materials. Castinghas always occurred under vacuum and istherefore free of voids . The advantage of theSGB composite system has frequently beenrecognised in tests. With an exit temperatureof -50°C, SGB Cast Resin Coils have also safelypassed the required temperature shock tests inaccordance with IEC 60076-11 for climate classC2 based on a temperature of -25°C.

Core

8

With the calculation of cores for cast resintransformers, no-load losses, noises and no-loadcurrents are quite considerable and in manycases, crucial quality features. As a result, thechoice of high-quality materials for core designand manufacture is vital.

For SGB Cast Resin Transformers a cold-rolled,grain-oriented magnetic plate is used and has atypical loss factor of 0.85 W/kg. In most cases ofapplication, values according to the requirementsfor no-load losses and noises can be reached.For special requests a so-called Hi-B plate isused with which the no-load losses can then bereduced further by approximately 15% and thenoise level by around 5-7 dB(A), so that for specificapplications, e.g. in hospitals, low losses andreduced noise requirements are met.

The cores themselves are manufactured onmodern transverse and core-laying machines,which guarantee a shift in the so-called ‘step lap’process with extreme precision. Put simply, thesingle sheets are tapped in the usual ‘step lap’process by means of a repeated overlap and asa result the losses are reduced.

For corrosion protection, a high temperature2-component coating is used. This coating givesprotection to the core against the environmentalelements to which it would be subjected. Thecoating also infiltrates between the individualcore sheets and sticks them together which givesfurther benefits when handling noise andvibrations

The core is fixed with a holding frame consistingof lower and upper clamping bars and flat-rolledtie rods directly on the core. The tie rods consistof magnetic flat-rolled steel and connect thelower and upper clamping bars together. Theholding frame is constructed in such a way thatthe core plates are kept free from tensile loadand compressive stress as far as possiblebecause, as such, they retain their excellentfeatures in relation to losses and noises. Thelower yoke is allowed to rest, supported throughmouldings made from glass fibre-strengthenedsynthetic material onto the lower chassis pillarto which bidirectional adjustable coils can befixed. Different attachments such as additionalfootbridges, tubs, vibration-reducing componentsand others can indeed be chosen depending onthe individual project and client requirements.

SGB Cast Resin Transformers’ low voltage windingis almost always used as a full length foil winding.The advantages of this form of winding are evident:

• Reduction of additional losses• Even temperature distribution in the coil• High short circuit consistency

Exceptions exist if the LV winding is rated as lessthan 160 kVA or has a voltage rating of over 3 kV.

For more than 40 years SGB has been producingfoil windings for distribution transformers and castresin transformers. This long expertise is thereason for high quality features such as:

• SGB uses treated material exclusively fromfoil manufacturers in special cylinders toguarantee that the edges are burr-free. Thisis an important requirement for electricaldependability.

Low voltage winding

• To connect the outbound connection edgeswith the tapes, there are two commonpractices, welding under inert gas or coldwelding under high pressure (400 kN). Coldwelding has been used for more than 20 yearsat SGB.Benefits:· No mettalurgic changes of the windingmaterial by means of a temperature process

· No foreign bodies which can occur withmoulding

• By using multi-layer prepregs, there is ahigh-strength, thick-walled cylinder, which canaccommodate the radial short circuit forceunsupported-compared with the otherwisestandard solutions.

Page 14: Cast Resin Transformers - ElecSys Powerelecsyspower.com/products/download/SGB - SMIT... · Cast Resin Transformers? 2 ... High voltage winding 630 kVA transformer with 1 cooling duct

It is possible to over load a cast resin transformer,in much the same way as is possible with liquid-filled types.

To guarantee a service life of over 20 years,overloading of cast resin transformers iscontrolled with a temperature monitoring systemwhich shuts down the transformer at a fixedrated response temperature.

The IEC standard stipulates that transformerswith class F insulation must withstand a temporarytemperature of 180 degrees Celsius withoutimmediate damage. Our choice of rated responsetemperature comes from the heating permittedin the low voltage winding. The rated responsetemperature considers the hotspot rate at themeasuring point and depending on the heatingof the coil it is 120° - 150°C, a maximum coolanttemperature of 40°C, which is in accordance withVDE 0532, Part 6, is assumed.

Overload capacityIf, in practical operation, the transformer isoperating under the rated power and the ambientcooling temperature is below 40°C, then coiltemperatures below the threshold valuespermitted arise as a result. This factor can beexploited for overloads until the fixed responsetemperature of the thermistor is obtained. Theextent and duration of the overload aredetermined through the preceding preload, theactual ambient temperature and the coil timeconstant. The diagram below for a 1,000 kVA castresin transformer shows this correlation, basedon a coolant temperature of 20°C and differentpermanent preloads. From this it follows thatthe transformer can be operated for around19 minutes with an overload of 130 % of its ratedpower even with a 100 % permanent preload, untilthe temperature monitoring system responds.

As the "coil time constant" parameter dependsvery much on the specific technical requirementsand build, universal overload diagrams are notpossible. On request we can run modellingprograms which will provide the data wherebyall interpretation-specific parameters are takeninto consideration (see diagram left).

We have deliberately only shown the overloadcapacity for the temperature produced withtemperature monitoring. As a result we do notexpose the transformer to temperatures abovethe threshold temperature. Consequentlyuncontrolled overloads are prevented fromleading to thermal strains that could lead to anexceptionally short service life.

Reducing the noise from transformers radiatinginto the surroundings is becoming more and moreimportant. SGB Cast Resin Transformers aretherefore manufactured as standard with reducedlosses and noise.

In addition to the choice of induction and the typeof core material SGB also employs mitred jointsin the "step lap" process to improve noiseproperties and reduce transformer losses.

The specific noise level of cast resin transformersin AN operation without an enclosure can beestablished, in practice, the possibilities are:

A – evaluated sound pressure levelLPA in dBA – evaluated sound power levelLWA in dBand associated measurement service LS in dB.

The definition of these values and how noisemeasurement is carried out is defined in theGerman Edition of European Standards 60551/Association for Electrical, Electronic &Information Technologies 0532 T7.Important terms in this document are:

• Reference plane (from the thread measure,which includes the heat radiating surface)

• Length of measuring path pm in m• Measurement area S in m2

(See accompanying sketch above)

As with dry-type transformers for safety reasonsthe measurement for cast resin transformers aremade at a distance of 1 metre from the referenceplane. For oil-filled transformers with enclosed

windings, a distance of 0.3 m can be measuredfrom the vessel.

The following combination of LWA and LPA with LS

is set in the German Edition of European Standards60551/ Association for Electrical, Electronic &Information Technologies 0532 T7:LWA = LPA + LS

LS = 10 lg S : S0 dBS = 1,25 h x pm and S0 = 1 m2

SGB Cast Resin Transformers do not demand muchat the installation site. This is as a result of thereduced requirements for ground water protection,fire prevention and functional preservation asdescribed in the German Institute forStandardisation and Association for Electrical,Electronic & Information Technologies 0101 and0108 and ELT Bau VO. With SGB Cast ResinTransformers, no protective measures for theprevention of water pollution are necessary.

Should the cast resin transformer however beequipped with rated voltage above 1 kV forinstallations for crowds of people in accordance

with the German Institute for Standardisation andAssociation for Electrical, Electronic & InformationTechnologies 0108 and Elt Bau VO, the additionaldemands required would arise.

SGB Cast Resin Transformers are for indoor useonly as the ingress protection is to IP 00 only. Thecast resin surface of the transformer coil doesnot have a guard when operated. For that reasonprotection against accidental contact is necessaryand this can be achieved by attaching a protectivestrip or safety guard in the transformer enclosure,which is given the correct protection ratio inaccordance with EN60076-3. Alternatively, toprotect against water, they must be placed in anenclosure with a relevant IP degree of protection.

Installation ConditionsCast Resin Transformers can be housed withmedium and low voltage switchgear together inan enclosure. As no additional measures areessential here for oil drip pans or fire prevention,substantial expenses for transformer enclosurescan be saved on this part of the construction site.With open air installation an enclosure ismandatory. The IP degree of protection of theenclosure therefore has to be determined.

When planning the site, it is essential to take intoconsideration particular extreme installationconditions which may exist. It is possible thatspecial measures must be taken with the use of

a cast resin transformer in altitudes of over1,000 m due to the low air density. SGB can adviseyou individually and can adapt the equipment tothe on-site conditions.

SGB Cast Resin Transformers come withadditional fittings for use in ships, excavators,earthquake areas or wind power plants etc,where there are increased mechanical demands.In addition SGB Cast Resin Transformers have adecisive advantage in that all components arealways visible and as a result any potentialmechanical damage can be identified andrepaired immediately.

Power increase with fansBy attaching fans, the cast resin transformer withthe cooling method AN can be easily convertedinto the cooling method AF providing an increasein capacity of up to 40 % or above in special cases.This facility gives the planner freedom in the initialdesign of the structure.In principle it is possible to regularly use theincreased power resulting from the coolingmethod, AF, in standard operations.

The redundancy concept for a distribution gridwith two or more cast resin transformers isattractive. The transformers are sized in such away that in standard operations about 70 % of thepower is delivered – a reasonable interpretationfor cost effectiveness – with a transformermalfunction, the AF-power of one transformerwould suffice to take on the power of the othertransformer during planned maintenance or in thecase of a malfunction without any operationalrestrictions.

Transformer-optionsEnclosuresCast Resin transformers are supplied with openterminals. Enclosures with accessible installations,and guards are therefore often required, wherethe degree of protection can be selected inaccordance with the German Institute forStandardisation 40 050 and 57 101 / VDD 101.

IP23 for interior installations and IP33 foropen-air installations are provided as standardbut all other options are also available. Glandplates and angle brackets are provided for thecable connection from below.

The enclosures have the appropriate air inletsand outlets for natural or forced air cooling toconduct heat resulting from transformer away.At the site installation the ventilation to providethe necessary cool air flow must be considered.

Monitoring the temperatureTemperature monitoring by means of PTC Sensors(resistors with dramatic resistance change at theresponse temperature) is generally provided foreach cast resin transformer. As the low and highvoltage windings stay together in thermalequilibrium, the thermistors are positioned on thelow voltage winding. Importantly they protect thevacuum cast high voltage windings againstimproper high temperatures, which can occur withoverload, insufficient cooling and high

environmental heat. Core monitoring by means ofPT100 or PTC Sensors are possible if the customerso wishes.

Normally two thresholds are incorporated:The first one signals any temperature excess atthe limits of the normal service life consumption,i.e. continuous nominal load at 20°C coolanttemperature. It should warn the operator to initiatemeasures to cool the transformer.

The second system is geared to the boundarytemperature of the declared temperature classwhich should not be exceeded as this would resultin accelerated service life consumption. Thetransformer should then be shut off. The threeresistors are wired onto a terminal block. Fromhere there is a double-conductor connection tothe tripping unit, which is provided loose for freeinstallation into the switchgear.
