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.

General
The incoming line section of a Siemens
secondary unit substation can be
ordered in any one of four basic configurations. 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.

Minimum fuse size shown will clear transformer magnetizing inrush current. 133% fuse size permits overload operation of transformer up
to 133% rating. Maximum fuse size provides transformer fault protection for phase-phase, 3-phase and phase-ground faults on secondary
windings of standard 3-phase transformers. Suffix E denotes NEMA standard fuse rated 30˚C rise above 40˚C average ambient.
햳 The self-cooled kVA rating of the transformer as listed here should be used in selection of fuse size on forced-air cooled transformer
applications. Also, on such applications, the 133% fuse size must be chosen for proper coordination.
햴 Typical percent impedance on self-cooled kVA base, subject to + 71/2% tolerance.

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.

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.

Tank Construction
The transformer tank is fabricated of precision cut, heavy gauge, cold rolled steel
plates with a minimum number of plates
used to reduce the number of welded
seams.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

햲 Short circuit currents are calculated with impedences and kVA shown in this table. Impedances are typical values.
햳 Short circuit current contributions are calculated on the basis of motor characteristics that will produce four times normal circuit. 50% motor load
contribution is assumed for 208V and 100% motor load contribution is assumed for 240V, 480V and 600V.
