ABSTRACT
The main goal of the project is to Perform different types of tests on a
distribution transformer and reduce the losses present in it by following the
maintenance procedure by time to time and provide the transformer according
to the customer need as to get more power with less reduction of loss. The
main advantage of transformer is more efficient with less losses as the
transformer has no rotating parts in it and is a static device, which works on
the principle of electro- magnetic induction. Basing on the design of the
transformer there are of two types distribution transformer and power
transformer.
Contd
Distribution transformers are used in local areas as to reduce the voltage from
11kv to 433/250 volts and power transformers which are used in substation
which reduces the high incoming voltage of 132kv from the power grid to
33kv and in turn to local 11kv feeder.

Transformer:-
It is an electro- magnetic device, which transfer electrical energy from one electrical
circuit to another electrical circuit without change in frequency through medium of
magnetic field. In practical, transformer is a device which is magnetically coupled and
electrically isolated which works on the principle of Mutual induction.
Distribution transformer:-
A transformer which is used for the distribution of the power is called the distribution
Parts of transformer:-
Main tank.
Radiators.
Conservator.
Contd.
Explosion vent.
Lifting lugs.
Tap changer.
Wheels.
HV/LV bushings.
Filter valves.
Drain plug.
Cable box.
CORE AND WINDING DESIGN:CORE DESIGN:In three phase transformer the core consists of mainly three parts they are:-
a. Side limbs.
b. Yoke.
c. Centre.
WINDING DESIGN:
Windings are mainly of two types. They are:- LV winding and HV winding.
HV winding is the primary winding where high voltage, low current is flown
through it.
LV winding is the secondary winding where low voltage, high current is flown
through it.
a. Disc winding.
b. Layer winding.
Open and short circuit test on transformer:These two tests are performed on a transformer to determine:- Equivalent circuit and voltage
regulation and efficiency of a transformer.
The power required for these open circuit test and short circuit test on transformer is equal to
Transformer winding resistance measurement:It is used to determine the following:- Calculation of the I2R losses in transformer,
Contd
Dielectric test of transformer:- The dielectric test of transformer is generally
performed in two different steps. They are:- separate source voltage withstand test and
induced voltage withstand test of transformer.
Separate source voltage withstand test of transformer:- This dielectric test is intended
to check the ability of main insulation to earth and between winding.
Voltage and turns ratio testing of a transformer:- The performance of a transformer
largely depends upon perfection of specific turns or voltage ratio of transformer. So
transformer ration test is an essential type test of transformer. The voltage should be
applied only in the high voltage winding in order to avoid unsafe voltage.
Contd
Transformer oil and winding temperature rise test:- Temperature rise test of
transformer is included in type test of transformer. In this test we check whether the
temperature rising limit of transformer winding and oil as per specification or not.
Induced voltage test:The induced voltage test of transformer is intended to check the inter turn and line end
insulation as well as main insulation to earth and between windings.
Sweep Frequency Response Analysis Test | SFRA Test:This is very reliable and sensitive method or tool for condition monitoring of the
physical condition of transformer windings.
Sweep Frequency Response Analysis Test or in short SFRA Test can detect efficiently,
displacement of transformer core, deformation and displacement of winding, faulty
core grounds, collapse of partial winding, broken or loosen clamp connections, short
circuited turns, open winding conditions etc.
Dust & dirt deposition, Salt or chemical deposition, cement or acid fumes
depositions should be carefully noted and rectified.
Cleanliness in the Substation yard with all nets, vines, shrubs removed.
Oil BDV & acidity checking at regular intervals. If acidity is between 0.5 to 1mg
KOH, oil should be kept under observation.
Contd
Oil when topped up shall be of the same make. It may lead to sludge formation
and acidic contents.
Megger values along with oil values indicate the condition of transformer.
Contd
8. Shortage of staff.
The reasons for failure of Distribution Transformers in both urban and rural areas are
the following:
Over loading.
Imbalance loading.
Low break Down Value (BDV) of the transformer oil and poor insulation resistance
(IR) Value.
Lightning.
Contd
Burning of transformer.
Overrated fuses.
Flash over.
Fortnightly.
Monthly.
Quaterly.
Half-yearly.
Yearly.
CONCLUSION:
As, India is developing country where supply of electricity is a big challenge for
huge population to use as many transformers for supplying the required amount of
electricity with accurate power factor.
There are many transformers such as power and distribution but in those we have
done testing and maintenance on a three phase distribution transformer.
Here our main project demonstrates that the transformer should have less losses and
less power consuming in order to distribute pure power to the substation and also to
avoid more power losses, this is possible only with the frequent maintenance of a
transformer.
The transformer should maintain less maintains cost and should be economical to
the customer and working of transformer should have more life span with low
power consumption.
