CHAPTER LII
TRANSFORMERS Fig. 1,982. —Mechanism of General Electric air cooled constant current transformer. It operates on the principle explained in the accompanying text and is built to supply 25 to 100 arc lamps at 6.6 to 7.5 amperes. The transformers are interchangeable and will operate on 60 or 125 cycles. The relative positions of the two coils may be changed in order to regulate the strength of the current more closely, by shifting the position of the arc carrying the counterbalance by means of the adjusting screw on it. A dash pot filled with special oil prevents sudden movements of the secondary coil and keeps the current through the lamps nearly constant, when they are being cut in or out of the circuit. In starting up a constant current transformer, it is necessary to separate the two coils as far as possible and then close the primary circuit switch and allow the two coils to come together. If the primary circuit be thrown directly on the generator the heavy rush of current which will follow due to the two coils being too close together might injure the lamps. Constant current incandescent lighting systems for use in small towns also use this method for automatically regulating the current. Regulation. —This term applies to the means adopted either to obtain constancy of pressure or current. In the transformer, regulation is inherent , that is, the apparatus automatically effects its own regulation. The regulation of a transformer means, the change of voltage due to change of load on the secondary ; it may be defined more precisely as: the percentage increase in the secondary voltage as the load is decreased from its normal value to zero . Thus, observation should be made of the secondary voltage, at full load and at no load, the primary pressure being held constant at the normal value. Fig. 1,983. —General Electric air cooled constant current transformer. View showing external appearance with case on. The regulation is said to be "good" or "close," when this change is small. In the design of a transformer, good regulation and low iron losses are in opposition to one another when the best results are desired in both. A well designed transformer, however, should give good results, both as to regulation and iron losses, the relative value depending upon the class of work it has to do, and size. Transformer Connections. —The alternating current has the advantage over direct current, in the ease with which the pressure and current can be changed by different connections of transformers. On single phase circuits the transformer connections can be varied to change current and pressure, and in addition on polyphase circuits the phases can also be changed to almost any form. Single Phase Connections. —The method of connecting ordinary distributing transformers to constant pressure mains is shown by the elementary diagram, fig. 1,984, where a transformer of 10 to 1 ratio is indicated with its primary winding connected to a 1,000 volt main, and a secondary winding to deliver 100 volts. Fig. 1,984. —Single phase transformer connection with constant pressure main. Fig. 1,985. —Usual method of single phase transformer connections for residence lighting with three wire secondaries. A balancing transformer is connected to the three wire circuit near the center of distribution as shown. Fig. 1,986 shows a transformer with each winding divided into two sections. Each primary section is wound for 1,000 volts, and each secondary section for 50 volts. By connecting the entire primary winding in series, the transformer may be supplied from a 2,000 volt main, as indicated, and if the secondary winding be also connected all in series, as shown, the no load voltage will be 100 between the secondary terminals. Fig. 1,986. —Diagram of single phase transformer having primary and secondary windings in two sections, showing voltages per section with series connections. The sections of the primary winding may be connected in parallel to a 1,000 volt main, and 100 volts obtained from the secondary, or the primary and secondary windings may be connected each with its two sections in parallel, and transformations made from 1,000 to 50 volts as represented in fig. 1,987. This is a very common method of construction for small transformers, which are provided with convenient terminal blocks for combining the sections of each winding to suit the requirements of the case. When the two sections of either winding are connected in parallel as shown in fig. 1,987, care must be taken to connect corresponding ends of the two sections together . Combining Transformers. —Two or more transformers built to operate at the same pressure and frequency may be connected together in a variety of ways; in fact, the primary and secondary terminals may each be considered exactly as the terminals of direct current dynamos, with certain restrictions. Fig. 1,987. —Diagram of single phase transformer with primary and secondary windings of two sections each, showing voltages per section with parallel connection. Ques. What are the two principal precautions which must be observed in combining transformer terminals? Ans. The terminals must have the same polarity at a given instant, and the transformers should have practically identical characteristics. The latter condition is not absolutely essential, but it is emphatically preferable. For example, if a transformer, which has 2 per cent. regulation, be connected in parallel, as indicated in fig. 1,988, with one which has 3 per cent. regulation, at no load the transformers will give exactly the same voltage at the secondary terminals, but at full load one will have a secondary pressure of, say, 98 volts, while the other has 97 volts. The result is that the transformer giving only 97 volts will be subject to a reverse pressure of one volt from its mate. This will not cause excessive current to flow backward through the secondary winding of the low voltage transformer, but it will disturb the phase relations and lower the power factor and efficiency of the combination. In such a case it is much better to work the secondary circuits of the two transformers separately. In case the transformers have practically the same characteristics it is necessary, as stated above, to make sure that the secondary terminals connected together have the same polarity at a given instant; it is not necessary to find out definitely what the polarity is, merely that it is the same for both terminals. This can be easily done as shown in fig. 1,989. Fig. 1,988. —Diagram showing unlike single phase transformers in parallel. Ques. What may be said with respect to operating transformer secondaries in parallel? Ans. It is seldom advantageous. Occasionally it may be necessary as a temporary expedient, but where the load is such as to require a greater capacity than that of a transformer already installed, it is much better to replace it by a large transformer than to supplement it by an additional transformer of its own size. Ques. How are the secondaries arranged in modern transformers and why? Ans. The secondary windings are divided into at least two sections so that they may be connected either in series or parallel. Ques. Explain how secondary connections are made for different voltages. Ans. If, for instance, the secondary pressure of a transformer having two sections be 100 volts with the terminals in parallel, as in fig. 1,990, then connecting them in series will give 200 volts at the free secondary terminals, as indicated in fig. 1,991. Ques. What precaution should be taken in connecting secondary sections in parallel in core type if the two sections be wound on different limbs of the cores? Fig. 1,989. —Method of comparing instantaneous polarity. Two of the terminals are connected as shown by a small strip of fuse wire, and then touching the other two terminals together. If the fuse blows, then the connections must be reversed; if it does not, then they may be made permanent. Ans. It will be advisable to make the connections ample and permanent, so that there will not be any liability to a difference between the current flowing in one secondary winding and that flowing through the other. Two Phase Connections. —In the case of two phase distribution each circuit may be treated as entirely independent of the other so far as the transformers are concerned. Two transformers are used, one being connected to one primary phase and supplying one secondary phase, the other being connected to the other primary phase and supplying the other secondary phase as indicated in fig. 1,996, exactly as though each primary and secondary phase were an ordinary single phase system, independent of the other phase. Figs. 1,990 and 1,991.—Methods of altering the secondary connections of a transformer having two sections in the secondary to obtain a different voltage. Fig. 1,990 shows the two sections in parallel giving say 100 volts; fig. 1,991 shows the two sections in series giving 200 volts. Ques. Is the above method usually employed? Ans. No, the method shown in fig. 1,997 is generally used. Three Phase Connections. —There is not so much freedom in making three phase transformer connections, as with single or two phase, because the three phases are inseparably interlinked. However, the system gives rise to several methods of transformer connection, which are known as: 1. Star; 2. Delta; 3. Star-delta; 4. Delta-star. Figs. 1,992 to 1,995. —Three phase transformer connections. Fig. 1,992 delta connection; fig. 1,993 star connection; fig. 1,994 delta star connection; fig. 1,995 star-delta connection. Delta Connection. —In the delta connection both primaries and secondaries are connected in delta grouping, as in fig. 1,992. Star Connection. —This method consists in connecting both the primaries and secondaries in star grouping, as in fig. 1,993. Delta-star Connection. —In this method the primaries are connected in delta grouping and the secondaries in star grouping, as in fig. 1,994. Star-delta Connection. —This consists in connecting the primaries in star grouping, and the secondaries in delta grouping, as in fig. 1,995. Fig. 1,996. —Two phase transformer connections. Two single phase transformers are used and connections made just as though each phase were an ordinary single phase system. Ques. What advantage has the star connection over the delta connection? Ans. Each star transformer is wound for only 58% of the line voltage. In high voltage transmission, this admits of much smaller transformers being built for high pressure than possible with the delta connection. Ques. What advantages are obtained with the delta connection? Ans. When three transformers are delta connected, one may be removed without interrupting the performance of the circuit, the two remaining transformers in a manner acting in series to carry the load of the missing transformer. Fig. 1,997. —Two phase transformer connections, with secondaries arranged for three wire distribution, the primaries being independently connected to the two phases. In the three wire circuit, the middle or neutral wire is made about one-half larger than each of the two outer wires. In fig. 1,996 it makes no difference which secondary terminal of a transformer is connected to a given secondary wire, so long as no transformers are used in parallel. For example, referring to the diagram, the left hand secondary terminal of transformer, A, could just as well be connected to the lower wire of the secondary phase, A, and its right hand terminal connected to the upper wire, the only requirement being that the two pairs of mains shall not be "mixed"; that is, transformer, A, must not be connected with one secondary terminal to phase, A and the other to phase, B. In the case shown by fig. 1,997, there is not quite so much freedom in making connections. One secondary terminal of each transformer must be connected to one of the outer wires and the other two terminals must be both connected to the larger middle wire of the secondary system. It makes no difference, however, which two secondary terminals are joined and connected to the middle wire so long as the other terminal of each transformer is connected to an outer wire of the secondary system. The desire to guard against a shut down due to the disabling of one transformer has led to the extensive use of the delta connection, especially for the secondaries or low pressure side. It should be noted that if one transformer be disabled, the efficiency of the other two will be greatly reduced. To operate a damaged three phase transformer, the damaged windings must be separated electrically from the other coils, the damaged primary and secondary being respectively short circuited upon themselves. Ques. What kinds of transformers are used for three phase current? Ans. Either a three phase transformer, or a separate single phase transformer for each phase. Fig. 1,998. —Three wire connections for transformer having two secondary sections on different legs of the core. If the secondary terminals be connected up to a three wire distribution, as here shown diagrammatically, it is advisable to make the fuse, 2, in the middle wire, considerably smaller than necessary to pass the normal load in either side of the circuit, because, should the fuse, 1, be blown, the secondary circuit through the section, Sa, will be open, and the corresponding half of the primary winding, Pa, will have a much higher impedance than the half of the primary winding, Pb, the inductance of which is so nearly neutralized by the load on the secondary winding, Sb. The result will be that the voltage of the primary section, Pa, will be very much greater than that of the section, Pb, and as the sections are in series the current must be the same through both halves of the winding; the drop or difference of pressure, therefore, between the terminals of Pa will be much higher than that between the terminals of Pb, consequently, the secondary voltage of Sb will be greatly lowered and the service impaired. As the primary winding, Pa, is designed to take only one-half of the total voltage, the unbalancing referred to will subject it to a considerably higher pressure than the normal value; consequently, the magnetic density in that leg of the transformer core will be much higher than normal, and the transformer will heat disastrously. If the fuse, 2, in the middle wire be made, say, one-half the capacity of each of the other fuses, this condition will be relieved by the blowing of this fuse, and as the lamps in the live circuit would not be anywhere near candle power if the circuit remained intact, the blowing of the middle fuse will not be any disadvantage to the user of the lamps. Some makers avoid the contingency just described by dividing each secondary coil into two sections and connecting a section on one leg in series with a section on the other leg of the core, so that current applied to either pair of the secondary terminals will circulate about both legs of the core. Figs. 1,999 to 2,002. —Three phase delta, and star connections using three transformers. There are two ways of connecting up the primaries and secondaries, one known as the "delta" connection, and illustrated diagrammatically by fig. 1,999, and the other known as the "star" connection, and illustrated by fig. 2,001. In both diagrams the line wires are lettered, A, B and C. Fig. 2,000 shows the primaries and secondaries connected up delta fashion, corresponding to fig. 1,999, and fig. 2,002 shows them connected up star fashion, corresponding to fig. 2,001. In both of the latter sketches the secondary wires are lettered to correspond with the respective primary wires. When the primaries are connected up delta fashion, the voltage between the terminals of each primary winding is the same as the voltage between the corresponding two wires of the primary circuit, and the same is true of the secondary transformer terminals and circuit wires. The current, however, flowing through the transformer winding is less than the current in the line wire, for the reason that the current from any one line wire divides between the windings of two transformers. For example, in figs. 1,999 and 2,000, part of the current from the line wire, A, will flow from A to B through the left hand transformer, and part from A to C through the right hand transformer; if the current in the line wire, A, be 100 amperes, the current in each transformer winding will be 57.735 amperes. When transformers are connected up star fashion, as in figs. 2,001 and 2,002, the current in each transformer winding is the same as that in the line wire to which it is connected, but the voltage between the terminals of each transformer winding is 57.735 per cent. of the voltage from wire to wire on the circuit. For example, if the primary voltage from A to B is 1,000 volts, the voltage at the terminals of the left hand transformer (from A to J) will be only 577.35 volts, and the same is true of each of the other transformers if the system is balanced. These statements apply, of course, to both primary and secondary windings, from which it will become evident that if the three transformers of a three phase circuit be connected up star fashion at the primaries, and delta fashion at the secondaries, the secondary voltage will be lower than if both sides are connected up star fashion. For example, if the transformers be wound for a ratio of 10 to 1, and are connected up with both primaries and secondaries alike, no matter whether it be delta fashion or star fashion, the secondary voltage will be one-tenth of the primary voltage; but if the primaries be connected up star fashion on a 1,000 volt circuit, and the secondaries be connected up delta fashion, the secondary voltage will be only 57.735 volts, instead of 100 volts. The explanation of the difference between the voltage per coil in a delta system and that in a star system is that in the former each winding is connected directly across from wire to wire; whereas in the star system, two windings are in series between each pair of line wires. The voltage of each winding is not reduced to one-half, however, because the pressures are out of phase with each other, being 120°, or one-third of a cycle, apart; consequently, instead of having 500 volts at the terminals of each coil in fig. 2,001 the voltage is 577.35. The same explanation applies to the current values in a delta system. The current phase between A and B, in fig. 1,999, is 120° removed from that in the winding between A and C; consequently the sum of the two currents, in the wire, A, is 1.732 times the current in each wire; or, to state it the opposite way, the current in each winding is 57.735% of the current in the wire, A. It will be well for the reader to remember that in all cases pressures differing in phase when connected in series, combine according to the well-known law of the parallelogram of forces; currents differing in phase, and connected in parallel, combine according to the same law. Ques. What points are to be considered in choosing between three phase and single phase transformers for the three phase current transformation? Ans. No specific rule can be given regarding the selection of single phase or three phase transformers since both designs are equally reliable; local conditions will generally determine which type is preferable. The following general remarks may, however, be helpful: Single phase transformers are preferable where only one transformer group is installed and where the expense of a spare transformer would not be warranted. In such installations the burn out of one phase of a three phase unit would cause considerable inconvenience for the reason that the whole transformer would have to be disconnected from the circuit before repairs could be made. If single phase transformers be used and connected in delta on both primary and secondary, the damaged transformer can be cut out with a minimum amount of trouble and the other two transformers can be operated at normal temperature open delta at 58 per cent. of the normal capacity of the group of three transformers, until the third unit can be replaced. With a three phase shell type transformer, if both the primary and secondary be delta connected, trouble in one phase will not prevent the use of the other two phases in open delta. By short circuiting both primary and secondary of the defective phase, and cutting it out of circuit the magnetic flux in that section is entirely neutralized. This cannot be done, however, with any but delta connected shell type transformers. Fig. 2,003. —Diagram showing three wire secondary connections General Electric (type H) transformer. As will be seen, the method adopted consists of distributing equally, on each side of the primary coil, both halves of the secondary winding, so that each secondary throughout its length is closely adjacent to the entire primary winding. In order to insure the exact equality of resistance and reactance in the two secondary windings necessary to obtain perfect regulation of the two halves, the inside portion of the secondary winding on one side of the primary coil is connected in series with the outside portion of that on the other side. As a result, the drop of voltage in either side of the secondary under any ordinary conditions of unbalanced load, does not exceed the listed regulation drop. This particular arrangement is used because it is the simplest and best method for this construction. Where a large number of three phase transformers can be used, it is generally advisable to install three phase units, the following advantages being in their favor as compared with single phase units: 1. Require less floor space than three single phase units; 2. Weigh less than the single phase units; 3. Simpler connections, as only three primary and three secondary leads are generally brought out; 4. Transformer presents a symmetrical and compact appearance. Ques. What is the character of the construction of three phase transformers? Ans. The three phase transformer is practically similar to that of the single phase, except that somewhat heavier and larger parts are required for the core structure. COMPARISON OF AIR BLAST, WATER COOLED, AND OIL COOLED TRANSFORMERS Air blast type Water cooled type Oil cooled type [8] NOTE.—No special foundations are necessary for any type of transformer other than a good, even floor, having sufficient strength to support the weight. 1. COST A. First cost Necessarily more expensive than the water cooled type of similar rating. Least expensive of all types. Necessarily more expensive than the air blast and water cooled type of similar rating. B. The installation is extremely simple. Moisture that may have collected on the surfaces during transportation or storage should be thoroughly dried out. Being heavier than the air blast type, these transformers, as a rule, require heavier apparatus for installing. Both transformer and tank should be thoroughly dried out before being filled with oil. The oil is usually supplied in 50 gal. hermetically sealed steel barrels to minimize possibility of moisture during transportation. Being heavier than the air blast and water cooled type, these transformers require heavier apparatus for installing. Both transformer and tank should be thoroughly dried out before being filled with oil. C. Auxiliary apparatus A duct, or chamber, of considerable size is required under the transformers in order to conduct the cooling air to them. A blower outfit for supplying air is required. In most cases, cooling water may be obtained with sufficient natural head. However, there are frequent cases in which it can be obtained only by the use of pumps. A system of piping for the cooling water and oil drainage is required, the cost of which depends, of course, on the station layout. Do not require cooling water or blower. D. Maintenance An occasional cleaning, for which a supply of compressed air at about 20 lb. pressure is recommended. The blower outfit requires no more care than any other similar apparatus. A water pumping outfit would possibly require a trifle more attention than a blower outfit in which there are no valves or piping. No air or water circulation to demand attention. 2. FLOOR SPACE Always requires space for cooling apparatus. Extra space only required when auxiliary pumping apparatus is necessary. Only require space for the transformer as no extra apparatus is necessary 3. LOCATION As the transformers are open at the top they should not be located where there is much dust or dirt nor where water from any source is liable to fall on them. The blower should be so situated as to obtain clean dry air of a temperature not greater than 77° Fahr. Transformers are completely enclosed but location should be such that no water will fall on leads or bushings. Location of auxiliary apparatus will depend on the station layout. Transformers are completely enclosed but location should be such that no water will fall on leads or bushings. The building should be well ventilated. There is no auxiliary apparatus. 4. GENERAL APPEARANCE Terminal leads may be located in the base and the air chamber may be used for conducting and distributing the connecting wiring. The absence of overhead wiring aids in simplifying the appearance of the station. Leads are brought out of the top of the transformers. Water cooling pipes are connected at the top in most cases. Leads are brought out of the top of the transformers. 5. OPERATION Equal reliability in all three types. While full load efficiencies are practically equal in the three designs, it is necessary to change the proportion of iron and copper losses somewhat as the copper loss of the air blast transformer is a smaller part of its total loss than of the water cooled and oil cooled types. As a result, the regulation of the air blast transformer is a trifle better. 6. GENERAL The above information regarding selection of type is not applicable to air blast transformers for circuits materially in excess of 33,000 volts. On account of the great thickness of the solid insulation needed and the consequent difficulty in radiating heat from the copper, it is impracticable to design the air blast type for more than this voltage. The oil immersed designs are therefore recommended for transformers above 33,000 volts. Both oil cooled and water cooled types are available for all voltages, being restricted in this respect only by the limitations of transmission facilities. [8] Figs. 2,004 to 2,011. —Connections of standard transformers. All stock transformers are wound for some standard transformation ratio, such as 10 to 1, but various leads are brought out by means of which ratios of 5, 10 and 20 to 1 may be obtained for one transformer. The figures show the voltage combinations possible with a standard transformer. Ques. How are transformers connected for four wire three phase distribution? Ans. When the secondaries of three transformers are star connected, a fourth wire may be run from the neutral point, thus obtaining the four wire system. Fig. 2,012. —Method of determining core loss. Connect voltmeter and wattmeter as shown in the illustration to the low tension side of the transformer. By means of a variable voltage transformer bring the applied voltage to the point for which the transformer is designed. The wattmeter indicates directly the core loss, which includes a very small loss due to the current in the copper. Cautions. —1. Make sure of the voltage and frequency. The manufacturers' tabulated statements refer to a definite voltage and frequency and these have a decided influence upon the core loss. 2. The high tension circuit must remain open during the test. The voltage between any main wire and the neutral will be 57 per cent. of the voltage between any two main wires. For general distribution this system is desirable, requiring less copper and greater flexibility than other systems. Three phase 200 volt motors may be supplied from the main wires and 115 volt lamps connected between each of the three main wires and the neutral; if the lamp load be very nearly balanced the current flowing in the neutral wire will be very small, as in the case of the ordinary three wire direct current system. How to Test Transformers.— The troubles incident to gas or water service have their parallels in electric power distribution. Fig. 2,013. —Method of determining copper loss. Connect ammeter and wattmeter to high tension side of transformer short circuit secondary leads, as shown in the illustration, and by means of a variable voltage, adjust current to the full load value for which the transformer is intended. The wattmeter reading shows the copper loss at full load. The full load primary current of any transformer is found from the following equation. full load current = full load watts ÷ primary volts EXAMPLE: To find proper full load current on a five kw. 2,200 volt transformer, divide 5,000 watts by 2,200 volts, the full load current will then be 2.27 amperes. A slight variation in primary current greatly increases or decreases the copper loss. Remarks. —Copper loss increases with temperature because the resistance of the metal rises. Do not overload the current coil of the wattmeter. For greater accuracy the I 2 R drop of potential method should be used. Companies engaged in the former, credit a large percentage of their losses to leaky valves and defective mains. The remedy may involve heavy expense and the loss is often tolerated as the lesser of two evils. In electric power distribution the transformer takes in part the place of the valve and pipe system. An inferior or defective transformer usually treats both the central station and its customers badly, being in this respect more impartial than the gas or water pipe which may annoy but one of the interested parties at a time. Like a neglected or defective gas fixture a transformer can menace life, failing, however, to give the warning the former gives, and with a more hidden threat on account of its location. Fig. 2,014. —Diagram of connections for regulation test. Connect transformer under test to high tension supply circuit. A second transformer with same or other known change ratio is also to be connected up, as illustrated. By means of a double pole double throw switch, the voltmeter can be made to read the pressure on the secondary of either transformer. Supposing the same change ratio it is evident that if both remain unloaded the voltmeter will indicate the same pressure. A gradually increasing lamp load up to the limit of the transformer capacity, will be attended by a drop in pressure at the terminals. This drop can be read as the difference of the voltmeter indications, and when expressed in per cent. of secondary voltage stands for "regulation." Remarks: The auxiliary transformer is necessary in order to make sure of the high tension line voltage. A large transformer under test may cause primary drop in taking power. This must be set down against it in testing regulation. The second transformer gives notice of such drop, whatever be the cause. Figs. 2,012 to 2,014 used by courtesy of the Moloney Electric Co. Apart from this, corresponding to an exasperated customer who complains at home and to his friends of dim lamps, blackened lamps, you will find in the power station the manager, who, also worried and in no better humor, contemplates the difference in meter readings at the end of the line. His business does not increase and would not increase even if he could lower the rates, which he cannot do because of these meter readings. He may be confident of his engines and generators, and that his line is up and all right, but he very seldom knows what the transformers are doing on top of the poles. Perhaps he feels that this waste is so slight that it makes no material difference. This can be readily ascertained by means of a set of testing instruments. Perhaps the transformers were purchased because of their attractive prices and never tested. Water, plumbing, gas and steam fittings are subjected to test. Why not transformers? Even more so because transformers take constant toll from the company installing them, while gas and water fittings, once passed, are off the contractor's hands. The busy manager has little time for complicated treatises and monographs on electrical measurements and even handbooks confront him with forbidding formulæ. Accordingly the methods of transformer testing, which are very simple, are illustrated in the accompanying cuts. Managers of electric power and lighting companies should study them carefully. Fig. 2,015. —Wagner central station core type transformer repair unit consisting of one half set of primary and secondary windings together with the section of the iron core upon which the coils are wound. An ammeter, voltmeter and wattmeter are required to make the tests. Losses are small in good transformers and hence the instruments should be accurate . For the same reason instruments should be chosen of the proper capacity to give their best readings. If there be any doubt about the testing instruments being correct, they should be calibrated before being used. The testing circuits should be properly fused for the protection of the instruments. It is hardly logical, but a very common practice is to mistrust meters and to watch them closely, while the transformers are guilty of theft unchallenged, and keep busily at it on a large scale.
