Power Rating

This three phase power transformer offers three different power rating operations. This is specially needed when the transformer is being designed for an application like power generation setup like a hydropower plant where power generation capacity and load capacity both change.

The transformer offer power rating of

12.5 MVA
16.5 MVA
22 MVA

Three different power ratings has one specific voltage value for all but three different current values (one for each rated power rating). The power rating of 12.5 MVA works here as the base line.

Voltage and Current Rating

Voltage regulation is a key aspect of power reliability, so this transformer is designed with a 5 position tap changer on the high voltage winding side, allowing adjustment of voltage from 109 kV to 120 kV. This is highly important for applications like transmission grid and to facilitate the precise control over primary side voltage.

Winding	Voltage	Configuration
HV	120/117/115/112/109 kV	Wye (grounded)
LV	6.9 kV	Delta

Tap positions are as follows.

Tap Position	Voltage (V)	Current @ 12.5 MVA (A)	Current @ 16.5 MVA (A)	Current @ 22 MVA (A)
1	120,750	59.8	78.9	105.2 A
2	117,875	51.2	80.8	107.8 A
3	115,000	62.8	82.8	110.4 A
4	112,125	64.4	85.8	113.3 A
5	109,250	66.1	87.2	116.3 A

On the low voltage winding side, the transformer delivers 6.9 KV of voltage for all three power ratings with different current ratings. This ensures that the required output is delivered reliably under all operating scenarios.

Voltage (V)	Current @ 12.5 MVA	@ 16.5 MVA	@ 22 MVA
6900	1045.9 A	1380.6 A	1882.7 A

Internal Current Transformers

The transformer is also designed with a built-in current transformer for accurate monitoring, protection, and metering. Multiple ratios offer flexibility in current sensing across both the high and low voltage sections. These CT conform to C100 and C200 accuracy classes that ensure precision in protection relay operations and systems.

Cooling System

The transformer is designed in a manner that it can utilize three different cooling mechanisms based on the power rating and load requirement. The transformer has one ONAN cooling system designed with fins on the transformer tank and two ONAF systems. One ONAF system is for when power rating is moderate and both ONAF systems are used when the transformer is operating on maximum power.

Cooling Method	Rated Power Output
ONAN	12.5 MVA
ONAF-1	16.5 MVA
ONAF-2	22 MVA

The transformer uses about 8,000 kg of mineral oil for the transformer cooling system. Sealed inside the transformer tank and work based convection mode of heat transfer.

Weight of Transformer

Each part of the transformer is precisely designed for balance between weight and structure integrity. Weight of each part is mentioned below in kg and combined weight of the transformer when fully assembled and when transported is mentioned separately.

Component	Weight
Tank & Fittings	8,900 kg
Transformer oil	8,000 kg
Core & Coils	14600 kg
Transport Weight	27,500 kg
Total Weight	32,500 kg

Engineering Design

This power transformer is very carefully designed for reliability, safety, and efficiency due to the nature of its application. Some common features are as follows.

Transformer winding is made from high-quality and pure copper material ensuring that no material defect is present in copper before and after winding of the transformer is done.
Similarly the core of the transformer is very carefully sized, designed, and manufactured using highest standard steel sheets to ensure quality manufacturing.
The transformer tank design, size, and manufacture is done to ensure reliability in the extreme environmental conditions of Canada where temperature can go well below zero.
Transformer tank surface is heat treated and coated with rust resisting materials to increase the life of the tank in outdoor applications.
All types of safety devices like thermal sensors, surge arrestors, lightning arrestors, transformer grounding etc are installed with IoT integration for remote monitoring and control.
Oil use in the transformer is free from PCBs at the time of delivery and operationalization.
YNd1 vector group offering delta wye transformation with a 30 degree phase shift. This is considered perfect for grid balancing and synchronization.
