ABSTRACT

In the field of electricity, transformer plays a vital role and it is the Lifeline and integral part of electrical transmission and distribution system. It is a simple static device operating on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Its function is to transform power at same frequency from one part of the circuit to another.

The transformer is used as an important component in the power system for the following two main reasons: Minimize transmission and distribution losses by adopting appropriate transmission and distribution voltages, and To facilitate availability of power to individual consumers at the voltages they desire for their systems.

As a part of the project design of a three-phase transformer was done and its performance evaluation was judged by comparing the results. Testing was done on a three phase distribution transformer and the parameters like resistance, no load loss, load loss, impedance voltages were measured, which were taken as input and the efficiency at different loads and regulation at UPF and 0.8 PF were calculated. The results thus obtained were compared with the guaranteed technical particulars and the performance of the transformer was evaluated.

ORGANISATION PROFILE
VIJAI ELECTRICALS Ltd started manufacturing transformers since 1972. It is known for its best quality in manufacturing. It manufactures transformers from 5KVA to 10MVA. Types of transformers manufactured here are: Oil filled Dry type single phase Three phase CRT (cast resin transformer) Three phase.

BEST EXPORT PERFORMANCE: Vijai Electricals Ltd. embarked on ventures of export to foreign countries and a substantial percentage of the sales are constituted by exports. The Organization has undaunted history of exports to its credit. The Government of India recognized it as the Export House in the year 1994. Government of India recognized the Organization as the Trading House in the year 1997. It exports transformers to Philippines and Bangladesh in bulk.

AWARDS SECURED: Secured EEPC Regional Award for the outstanding export performance during the year 1999-2000 (under the category Electrical Power Machinery, Switch Gear, Control Gear). Award for the Best Export Effort in the state (Surana Udyog Silver Rolling Trophy) during 2001-02 from the FAPCCI. 4th Best Exporter Award for the year 2001-02 from Container Corporation of India, Ministry of Railways, Govt. of India.

FUTURE PLANS: Amorphous metal: - They are importing the Amorphous metal from HONEY WELL, USA the only company manufacturing the Amorphous metal. Now their Organization is at the verge of producing the metal on its own. Powder paint: - They are importing the powder paint from AKZONOBEL Italy. They are setting up a plant to produce the same in about 4 months from now.
