Loading
Liquid-filled substation transformers are designed to operate at rated load with rated voltage
and frequency applied in “usual service” conditions. Overloads may be carried with normal
to moderate effects on the life of the transformer. The following table shows the permissible
overloads that may be carried only if occurring once in any 24-hour period without loss of
transformer life expectancy given an 65˚C rise transformer in a 30˚C ambient.

Application Heat Contribution


(cont.) Heat contribution is the heat that a transformer may contribute to its environment. This may
represent additional air conditioning burden in summer months, or may be used in calculating
heating requirements during winter months. This heat is the result of transformer losses and is
a function, in part, of loading. The following table demonstrates the effect of loading upon heat
contribution.

POWER-DRY™ Transformers

FPO

Description POWER-DRY™ vacuum-pressure impregnated transformers are particularly suited for a wide
range of commercial applications. Vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) of the windings includes
a preheat, dry vacuum cycle; vacuum immersion; vacuum hold cycle; pressure cycle; and curing.
This VPI process saturates the dielectric material, which contributes to its long life and durability.
The secondary windings are constructed with sheet or wire conductors and Nomex® insulation.
The primary windings are wound over the secondary winding in either barrel or disc construction.
These processes make the POWER-DRY transformer ideal for office buildings, hotels, and
shopping malls.

UNI-CAST™ Transformers

FPO

Description UNI-CAST™ transformers are an ideal choice for industries such as pharmaceuticals, food
and beverage, and medical, as well as other industrial and commercial installations. UNI-CAST
transformers combine the best features of vacuum cast-coil transformers with conventional
vacuum-pressure impregnated (VPI) dry-type transformers. The primary windings are completely
impregnated with epoxy resin which, in combination with fiberglass cloth and tape, forms the
solid dielectric system. The secondary windings are wrapped in epoxy-impregnated Nomex®
insulation and baked to bond the conductor and Nomex insulation. Then, the windings are
encapsulated using the VPI process and the end cavities are sealed with air-dried epoxy. This
combination provides not only high reliability, but an economical solution for many applications.

POWER-CAST® Transformers

FPO

Description The POWER-CAST ® three-phase, cast-epoxy unit substation-type transformers are


particularly suited for applications requiring a dry-type transformer with superior
performance characteristics. The windings are completely impregnated with epoxy resin, which in
combination with fiberglass cloth and tape, form the solid dielectric system. This system protects
the windings from moisture and environmental airborne contaminants and provides exceptional
strength to withstand extreme thermal shock and the mechanical forces of short circuit. These
transformers meet the more stringent ANSI standards for liquid-filled transformers, but have the
added advantages of a dry-type, making POWER-CAST transformers an ideal replacement for the
PCB-filled or PCB-contaminated units. POWER-CAST units are available in both indoor or
outdoor enclosures.
If required, special enclosures can be designed to rotate the unit 90° to better fit in space
previously occupied by a PCB-filled unit.

Combustion byproducts of POWER-CAST transformers have been tested and documented to be


environmentally safe and nonflammable. Each high voltage winding is partial-discharge tested
to ensure the reliability of the high voltage dielectric system. All units manufactured receive
the standard production test as prescribed by ANSI C57.12.91.

POWER-CAST transformers are designed to operate at rated load with rated voltage and
frequency applied in “usual service” conditions. It is possible to carry overloads without loss of
life expectancy. The following table shows the permissible overloads that may be carried only
if occurring once in any 24-hour period without loss of transformer life expectancy given an
80˚C rise transformer in a 30˚C ambient.
