Secondary Unit Substations Guide Form Specifications 6 Secondary Unit Substations A unit substation is defined as a substation consisting of one or more transformers mechanically and electrically connected to and coordinated in design with one or more switchgear or switchboard assemblies. A secondary unit substation is defined as a unit substation whose outgoing section is rated below 1000 volts. A typical secondary unit substation consists of three sections: 1. An incoming section that accepts incoming high voltage (2400 to 13,800 volts) line. 2. A transformer section that transforms incoming voltage down to utilization voltage (208/120 to 600 volts). 3. An outgoing section that distributes power to outgoing feeders and provides protection for these feeders (600 volts and less). The primary reason for using a secondary unit substation is to bring power as close as possible to the center of the loads. Another reason is that it provides a system design concept incorporating a wide variety of components that permits tailoring equipment to the needs of the application. A secondary unit substation provides 쐍 Reduced power losses 쐍 Better voltage regulation 쐍 Improved service continuity 쐍 Increased functional flexibility 쐍 Lower installation cost 쐍 Efficient space utilization Every component and assembly of secondary unit substations are designed and engineered as an integral part of a complete system.

The most commonly used is the air interrupter switch providing a primary disconnect. When primary circuit protection and / or disconnection means is located near the substation, an air terminal chamber is the usual choice. A liquid interrupter switch and an oil cutout switch are two alternatives. A primary metering unit can also be incorporated in the incoming line section. Air Interrupter Switch The Siemens air interrupter switch is a stationary mounted, three pole, two position (open-close) device which uses a quick-make, quick-break arcing blade with an arc chute for safe closing and normal current interruptions. The switch position is visible through a safety front window and is indicated on the operating handle mechanism. The switch sections are available in UL listed or non UL listed applications. The switch is available with or without fuses, which can be either current limiting or expulsion type. Each fused switch has a hinged compartment door that covers the fuses and is mechanically interlocked with the switch so the door can be opened only when the switch is open. The switch is available with cable lugs or potheads and can be arranged for top or bottom entrance of cables. Surge arresters can be furnished, if required. A duplex switch is also available, consisting of two Key interlocked switches located side by side. This arrangement permits the selection of one of the two incoming sources of power to the transformer. The air interrupter selector switch consists of a stationary rear-mounted, three pole, two position (Line I-Line 2) switch in series with a three pole, two position (ON-OFF) interrupter switch. Mechanical interlocking is provided so that the load interrupter switch must be open before the selector switch can be changed from one feeder to another feeder. See Table 6.1 for available switch ratings. Air Terminal Chamber The air terminal chamber is floor mounted and can be equipped with cable lugs or potheads (optional). It is directly connected to the high voltage side of the transformer. Both indoor and outdoor construction is available, and the unit can be arranged for top or bottom entrance. Space can be provided for loop feeding of cables, if needed. 76 Single Air Interrupter Switch / Dry Type Transformer Since air terminal chambers provide no means either to disconnect or to protect the transformer, such a means should be provided upstream from the transformer. Liquid Interrupter Switch This is a three pole, two or three position non-fused assembly with the switch immersed in oil. It can interrupt load currents up to 400 amperes. The liquid interrupter switch is available only on substations incorporating a liquid filled transformer. Primary Metering Unit This is a separate unit available to match an adjacent air interrupter switch unit. It can be equipped with current transformers, potential transformers and devices for user metering or with complete provisions for power company metering. Special designs can be provided to meet local power company requirements.

CSI Section 16470 Siemens Electrical Products and Systems Specification Guide 79 Secondary Unit Substations Transformer Section Secondary Unit Substations 6 Siemens secondary unit substations are available with a choice of liquid filled or dry type transformers. Liquid filled units are available with either oil, R-Temp, or silicone as the insulating fluid. Dry type units can be conventional or cast coil. Table 6.5 lists the standard transformer ratings for each type. Non-standard units are also available with such characteristics as special temperature rises, insulation levels, low losses, low noise levels, special impedances, and voltages to meet specific application requirements. Weights, dimensions, and performance characteristics of non-standard units can be obtained from Siemens. Many factors are involved in the choice of a transformer for a particular application. These range from initial cost to environmental factors to personal preference. Liquid filled transformers have their core and coil immersed in either mineral oil, R-Temp, or silicone fluid. The oil-filled transformer is generally applied outdoors but may also be applied indoors when designed to avoid any possible fire hazard. Oil-filled units are the lowest cost of all the available types of transformers and feature compact size and high BIL levels. R-Temp and silicone filled General transformers are similar to the oil-filled type in construction and features with the exception of the insulating fluid. These units are designed primarily for indoor application but can also be used outdoors near building walls or on roofs. R-Temp fluid has a fire-point of 311°C. Silicone offers a fire-point of 371°C. A ventilated dry type transformer is one in which the windings are cooled by the natural circulation of ambient air through the transformer. This type transformer utilizes vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI), a superior moisture-resistant insulation system designed to operate at an average temperature rise of 150°C. VPl / epoxy dry types are applied in areas where heavy or conducting contaminants exist in the air. Ventilated dry type transformers are lightweight and are fire and toxic resistant. Outdoor dry type transformers have been developed for situations which prohibit indoor installation yet still require a nonflammable transformer. The weather resistant ventilated unit is protected from the elements. A special offset double wall louver system is designed to divert blowing rain and snow, and to channel it out through the bottom of the enclosure. Where severely contaminated conditions do not exist, the weather resistant ventilated transformer can offer lower operating costs while providing adequate service life and performance. Outdoor transformers have gasketed panels and roofs. Enclosure roofs are slanted so that rain and melting snow cannot interfere with operation. An overhang on all four sides provides extra weather protection. The cast coil transformer has its high voltage coils vacuum cast in epoxy resin providing a non-hygroscopic, sealed coil, highly resistant to moisture and industrial and chemical contaminations. It has excellent dynamic short circuit strength. The cast coil insulation provides small size, low sound levels, and high efficiency. It is virtually non flammable and self extinguishing. It has unlimited storage duration and will be ready for immediate use. Siemens unit substation transformers liquid filled, dry type, and cast coil can be custom designed to meet customer specifications including loss evaluations, harmonic load conditions, or other special applications.

Transformers with impedances of 4.0% or less are designed to withstand 25 times normal current for two seconds. 80 Siemens Electrical Products and Systems Specification Guide CSI Section 16470 Secondary Unit Substations Transformer Section — Liquid Filled 6 Secondary Unit Substations Core Construction Wound cores of Siemens liquid filled transformers are rectangularly shaped, single turn laminations of high quality, grain oriented magnetic core steel. Fully annealed after cutting and forming, the core loops can be opened for assembly through coil windows without deterioration in performance characteristics. Lamination joints are staggered and precisely cut for close fit. Each loop rests on the joint end, and is in direct contact with the bottom core clamp for positive grounding. Cores are compact and designed for low excitation currents, low losses and quiet performance. The upper and lower core clamps are rigidly constructed. Core clamps are chemically cleaned to remove any dirt or impurities from the forming and welding operations. This assures that only clean metal will be in contact with the cooling medium. Core clamps and all structural parts are insulated from live parts to prevent development of voltage potential in any part. General Low Voltage Throat with full length air terminal chamber (Optional) High Voltage Throat (Optional) Coil Construction The coil is of rectangular construction with sheet-wound aluminum secondary windings and insulated wire-wound aluminum primary windings (copper windings available as an option). Coils are equipped with cooling ducts in order to dissipate the heat being generated. Sufficient ducts are located throughout the coils to avoid winding hot spots to assure overload capability. Stresses Axial short circuit stresses are virtually eliminated by the use of sheet-wound secondary and wire-wound primary windings with no interleaved components. Coils are wound with the secondary coil nearest the core and supported by a strong insulating form. The primary is wound directly over the secondary coil with a suitable insulating full-length barrier between the primary and secondary windings. The coil wire is wound tightly and uniformly through a tension device. Conductors are bonded to a diamond patterned epoxy paper to insure maximum short circuit strength. Insulating Material All insulating materials have been thoroughly tested and proven with respect to their electrical and mechanical characteristics and are stable at nameplate operating temperatures. In liquid filled transformers, the insulation system is thermally upgraded and CSI Section 16470 Low Voltage Throat (Optional) Accessories and Control Cabinet chemically modified to resist the effects of high temperature. This enables the transformer to maintain full load-carrying ability at rated operating temperature without affecting life expectancy. Thermally-upgraded corrugate or stick duct insulation is used for longitudinal and radial coil spacers. It is also used between layers, and between high and low voltage coils. The porosity of the insulating materials permits the insulating liquid to penetrate the insulating material, giving it a high dielectric strength. Tap Changer The externally operated tap changer allows for line voltage changes, when de-energized. The stacked multi-phase assembly features one-piece stationary contacts rigidly locked in place. All three phases are switched simultaneously on the stacked multi-phase rotary switch. Switching of the contacts is made through a bridging roller.

Formed structural members are welded to the side wall so the complete tank is sufficiently reinforced to withstand a test pressure 25% greater than normal operating pressure. The top of the tank is fully strengthened with welded plate steel. Lifting devices are provided at the corners of the tank to permit crane handling of the transformer. Cooling radiators assure that the temperature rise of the liquid will not exceed the specified limit when the transformer is continuously operated at full load. The entire tank is shot blasted and then steam cleaned before painting to remove any impurities from the forming and welding operation. Each tank is painted with alkyd enamel paint in accordance with ANSI standards. A flange is provided on the primary and secondary sides of the transformer for bolting to the incoming and outgoing sections, providing an uninterrupted lineup of equipment. General Secondary Unit Substations Transformer Section — Dry Type Secondary Unit Substations 6 Core Construction The core construction of each Siemens ventilated dry type transformer is made of non-aging, high permeability, grain oriented, cold rolled, silicon steel specifically processed for low losses. The thingauge laminations are precision cut with special high quality shear blades in such a manner that the flux path is aligned with the axis of highest permeability in the steel. Each lamination is flat and free from burrs and is inorganically insulated on both surfaces to minimize eddy-current losses. Laminations are stacked to computer specifications on a specially designed table to ensure flatness and prevent the introduction of bending stresses while the finished core is being set in an upright position. Careful positioning of each lamination produces close fitting joints to minimize core loss and noise. As an optional feature, custom miter cut joints can be supplied for premium quality, low core loss design, or where required by customer specification. Cores are designed to accommodate the coils with the optimum combination of high space factor and air flow, assuring a maximum utilization factor and compact design. The completed core assembly is rigidly clamped using formed steel members ensuring positive support and high strength, and preventing displacement under stress. LV Bus Bar — Top Mounted LV Bus Bar — End Mounted General Ventilated Dry Type Complete Transformer Assembly Coil Construction Coils are precision wound with high quality electrical grade aluminum, or with optional copper conductor. Primary coil construction may be random, layer, or disc, depending on the voltage class and basic impulse level required. Standard construction used is sheetwound aluminum secondary windings and insulated, wirewound primary windings. All coils are braced for full short circuit withstand capability in accordance with ANSI standards. Where sheet windings are employed, axial short-circuit stresses are virtually eliminated. The primary is wound directly on the low-voltage winding with a suitable insulating barrier between the coils consisting of cooling duct spacers and sheet installation built up to the proper thickness. Where the coils are wire-wound, adequate bracing is supplied at the end of the coils to assure full short-circuit capability. Primary coils may also be of the disc or random-type construction with suitable spacers to provide coil-to-coil cooling and insulation. Cooling is achieved by ducts in both the primary and secondary coils. When forced-air cooling is required, the air is directed through the cooling ducts to achieve the forced-air rating. Core and Coil of Ventilated Dry Type Transformer High Voltage Taps 84 Siemens Electrical Products and Systems Specification Guide CSI Section 16470 Secondary Unit Substations Transformer Section — Dry Type General 6 Vacuum Pressure Impregnation Siemens offers vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) as a standard feature for dry type transformer construction. The VPI transformer provides high dielectric strength, superior mechanical stamina, and maximum design flexibility. The VPI transformer utilizes high-performance, precatalized, polyester insulating varnish. The varnish creates a clear, yet high-bond strength product. This process completely seals and binds the windings into a high strength, environmentally protected assembly. The VPI process begins with pre-baking the coil assembly to remove any moisture. The assembly is then placed in a vacuum chamber, and the polyester varnish is introduced into the chamber. After the varnish penetrates the assembly, a high pressure blanket of dry nitrogen is placed on top of the varnish forcing the liquid material into every conceivable space and gap. The pressure is broken and the varnish is evacuated. The assembly is then baked to cure and set the insulated materials. VPI / Epoxy Coating (Optional) For environments polluted with chlorides, acids, alkalies, salt water, or high humidity, Siemens offers the epoxy-coated transformer. In addition to the VPI process, two mils of modified epoxy resin is added resulting in a premium transformer that will handle aggressive environments. Secondary Unit Substations Insulating Material All insulating materials have been thoroughly tested and proven with respect to their electrical or mechanical characteristics, are stable at operating temperatures, and are compatible with the cooling medium. All insulating material in the core and coil is chosen for the temperature system of the transformer and capability for that point of application. Random Wound Coil Disc Wound Coil Dry type transformers utilize a UL recognized, 220°C insulation system that incorporates inorganic materials and polyester resins. Principle components of this system include DuPont Nomex® paper, resinglass laminates, silicon rubber, and polyester varnish. K-Factor Ratings (Optional) Siemens dry type unit substation transformers are available with K-Factor rated designs as an optional feature for applications having non-linear or nonsinusoidal load conditions. The transformer K-Factor rating is based on the amount of harmonic distortion indicated in IEEE C57.110. Ratings include: 쐍 K4 for 50% non-linear load 쐍 K13 for 100% non-linear load 쐍 K20 for 150% non-linear load 쐍 K30 for 200% non-linear load 쐍 Other K-Factor rating or harmonic load profile specified. Sheet Wound Coil Layer Wound Coil UL Listed Designs Siemens offers UL listed / UL labeled ventilated dry type transformers. UL listed ratings include 500 through 3000kVA, 5kV and 15kV class primary, 600 volt class secondary, with temperatures rise options of 150°C, 115°C, or 80°C. CSI Section 16470 Siemens Electrical Products and Systems Specification Guide 85 Secondary Unit Substations Transformer Section — Dry Type Secondary Unit Substations 6 Taps All Siemens ventilated dry type transformers include primary windings equipped with voltage adjustment tap leads to compensate for variations in incoming line voltages. Taps are two 2.5% taps full capacity above nominal (FCAN) and two taps full capacity below nominal (FCBN). Tap connections are located on the surface of each coil and are accessible behind removable enclosure panels. Taps are applied while the transformer is deenergized by changing terminal board links or flexible cables to provide for system voltage adjustment. Forced Air Cooling Ventilated, dry type transformers 500 kVA and above are equipped with provisions for future installation of forced air cooling fans. This includes space and mounting provisions for installation of fans and controls. Optional: Complete forced air cooling is available to increase base kVA rating to an additional 33.3% over the self-cooled kVA rating. Complete forced air cooling incorporates the following features: 쐍 Fan motors (120V AC, 1–phase) and blades with personal protective guards. 쐍 Solid state digital temperature indicator that monitors the winding temperature from single phase sensing. Three phase temperature sensing can be specified as an option. 쐍 Control panel with protective fuses and all necessary controls for operation of fan system. 쐍 Auxiliary remote alarm and remote trip contacts. 쐍 All hardware and wiring. 쐍 Self test and memory. General with the same ratings, features, and flexibility of indoor units. The weather resistant feature includes special air louvers and gasketed covers. Although the enclosure is similar to the standard ventilated dry unit, it can be built with tamper resistant construction as an optional feature allowing access only with proper tools. Loss Evaluated Transformers (Optional) Siemens offers transformers with guaranteed losses for customer loss evaluations. A “low loss” design is offered when users are looking for a transformer that, over a period of time, will actually cost less in total owner cost than a standard transformer with higher losses. The cost of electric power has increased over the years. In the past when electricity was less expensive, the first cost, or original purchase price, was the primary con-sideration. With low loss energyconserving transformers, the initial purchase price may be higher because material content is more expensive. However, the payback and continued savings may justify that cost in operating expenses when an optimized design is furnished. Table 6.7 Siemens can provide an optimized design when the user specifies a dollar evaluation for no load (core) and load (conductor) losses. The evaluation formula should be stated as $___ per kilowatt core and $___ watt conductor (load). Computer generated designs will optimize for lowest total owner cost, based upon evaluated cost of electrical losses and the initial purchase price of the transformer. Design considerations include the use of low loss core steel, copper or aluminum conductor, and design temperature rise. Computer-Aided Transformer Design Sample Loss Evaluation (Using Typical Data) Standard “High Loss” Transformer Costs Initial Purchase Price = Core Loss 3200 Watts x 3.50/watt = Conductor Loss 17200 Watts x 1.75/watt = Operating Costs = Total Owner Cost (A + B) = Optional “Low Loss” Transformer $15,000.00 (A) $11,200.00 $30,100.00 $41,300.00 (B) $56,300.00 Costs Initial Purchase Price = Core Loss 2900 Watts x 3.50/watt = Conductor Loss 15400 Watts x 1.75/watt = Operating Costs = Total Owner Cost (A + B) = $18,000.00 (A) $10,150.00 $26,950.00 $37,100.00 (B) $55,100.00 Enclosures Indoor ventilated, dry type transformers are provided with 12-gauge steel enclosures finished with light gray (ANSI #61) paint. Enclosures are sized to assure proper air flow for adequate cooling. Removable front and rear covers provide access for maintenance, inspection, and de-energized tap access. The enclosure base includes provisions for jacking, lifting, skidding, or rolling the transformer. Weather Resistant Ventilated Dry Type Transformers The outdoor dry type transformer has been developed for situations which prohibit indoor installation but still require a nonflammable transformer. Optional enclosures for outdoor locations incorporate weather resistant (NEMA 3R) construction 86 Weather Resistant Enclosure Siemens Electrical Products and Systems Specification Guide CSI Section 16470 Secondary Unit Substations Transformer Section — Cast Coil General 6 Secondary Unit Substations Coil Construction High voltage coils are wound with insulated aluminum or copper conductor. The fully insulated coil is solidly cast in epoxy compound under vacuum to assure complete penetration to all spaces and surfaces for a complete, void free encapsulation. Coil ends and taps are brought to special terminals with internal threads which become imbedded in the casting. These terminals have a knurled outer surface to hold them against turning when leads and jumpers are bolted in place. High voltage coils utilize winding techniques which produce a continuously wound coil whereby electrical stress is reduced, giving better voltage distribution throughout the coil, and assuring complete penetration of the cast epoxy. Depending on design parameters, secondary coils are aluminum or copper conductor using the same vacuum casting method described for the epoxy cast high voltage coils, or would consist of sheet wound conductor which is insulated between layers with epoxy impregnated insulation and wrapped with polyester-glass sheets. When baked, the epoxy fuses with the insulated conductor and forms into a solid block. Epoxy is added to the layer margins to complete the casting. Insulation Cast coil transformers utilize insulating materials recognized for 185°C operation. A proprietary formula consisting of highgrade epoxy, thermally conductive mineral filler, or glass fiber cloth is used to cast the completed insulated coil. General Features 쐍 Cast Epoxy Resin is non-hygroscopic; highly resistant to moisture and industrial and chemical contamination 쐍 Excellent dynamic short circuit strength, low sound levels, high efficiency 쐍 Cast Coil insulation is virtually nonflammable and self extinguishing 쐍 No oil, no catch basins, no leakage, no valves nor gauges — minimum checking and maintenance 쐍 No environmental problems 쐍 No vaults and no special protection; can be installed at any convenient location CSI Section 16470 Legend 쐍 쐍 Unlimited storage duration and still ready for immediate application and use Vacuum Casting eliminates critical voids providing operation free of partial discharge Siemens Electrical Products and Systems Specification Guide 햲 햳 햴 햵 햶 햷 햸 햹 햺 햻 햽 Framing Bolts Core Lifting Lugs Low Voltage Bus Conductor Material Air Ducts Low voltage Coil Winding Section High Voltage Coil Support Blocks With Resilient Pads High Voltage Taps 87 Secondary Unit Substations Transformer Section — Testing and Accessories Secondary Unit Substations 6 Transformer Testing Throughout the manufacturing process and prior to shipment, all Siemens transformers are thoroughly inspected and tested according to current ANSI Standard Test Codes for transformers. Each transformer must pass the following tests: 1. Resistance measurements on all windings at the rated voltage connections of each unit and at the tap extremes of one unit only at a given rating on an order. 2. Ratio tests at the rated voltage connection and at all tap connections. 3. Polarity and phase-relation tests at the rated voltage connection. Table 6.8 4. No-load losses at the rated voltage connection. 5. Exciting current at rated voltage on the rated voltage connection. 6. Impedance and load loss at rated current on the rated voltage connection. 7. Impulse tests and temperature rise tests will be made on one unit of a given rating of an order only when a record of the temperature test made (in accordance with ANSI standards) on a duplicate or essentially duplicate unit is not available. 8. Applied potential tests. 9. Induced potential tests. 10. Partial discharge test for dry type and cast coil transformers.
