overhead transformers to meet the applications of any distribution system. The company
manufactures single-phase and three-phase
polettipe transformers at 34.5 kV and belo
in ratings from 5-833 kVA single-phase and
30-500 kVA three-phase. The Power Partners
core-coil design provides optimum efficiency
and excellent mechanical, thermal and electrical performance.

Standard Compliance
A. Pressure Venting and Resealing
The self-venting cover design meets the pressurC venting
and resealing myuil emcnts of ANSI C57.12.20-1997, paragraph 6.2.5.2.
"A cover assembly designed fir relief of excessive pressure
shall remain effectivel scaled for overloads and external
secondary short circuits of the magnitude and duration
allowed by industr standards and loading guides, but
shall relieve pressure at a minimum of S lbf/in', gage (55.2
kPa) if designee] to reseal; or at a minimum of 20 lhf/in',
gage (138 kPa) if designed for pressure relief without
resealing. Such OpCRitiiin shall occur before other conlponcnts of the tank are ruptLiI'C] or displaced, and the cover
shall remain in position. Manual means of venting the tank
before removal of cover shall be provided.
No auxiliar pre sUlre relief device is required on Power
Partners overhead distribution transformers. The flow
rate of the center-bolt cover after venting is significantly
higher than that of auxiliary pressure relief devices
resulting in increased safety and higher tank withstand
capability

2. Increased tank withstand capabilit and automatic

3. Electrostaticall -applied epoxy coating is a minimum

5. Continuous hollow nitriIe gasket, raised and flat

Low Voltage
Spark Gap
An internal 1(n+ +oltage spark };ap has been dc+cic )hed aO
a means of protection for distribution transformers
against secondare side. surges. The Electric Utility
Indutitrr has been eoncerncd about transformer failures
attrihUted to secondar y surges, a]though the f(;11L11 - C rate
is estimated to be ]css than P5% per year. The entilr
sLlbject is Very complex. bU t the phenomenon is very
much related to system parameters, such as, house and
pole groU nd resistance, length and type of service drrip,
and transformer load. - I'he sU rgc impedance of the transformer coil is also a significant flctor. resulting in units
larger than 50 kVA being t y pically imrnLinC from this type
of failU re. The Power Partners spark gap will provide
the same degrees of protection as any other method
presently avai]ablc, and at a significantly lower cost.
Apphoation
The spark gap is mounted internally between the low
voltage line hushing and the low voltage nCLltral and is
designed to arc oVC1- (]Li ling low Voltage sakes to protect
the transformer +in(Iings.
Testing
I',.ti li',1Listive testing has proven that (1) the internal spark
g i p operates under surge conditions to protect the
transformer winding, (2) the arc is extinguished Under
high acailahle fhLJlt current conditions, and (3) the Operation of the internal spark gap, under maxim urn oil temperature conditions, and,+ith a wide range of oil vapor
to air ratios, does not result in the development of an
unsafe condition. This extensive testing proves conclusively that the internal spark gap provides the same
degree of protection as that provided by interlaced
secondary windings, low voltage MOV arresters, and
external spark gaps.
Advantage
1.',ffccti+c — prevents low-side surge failures.
Cost effective — a spark gap is considerably lower in cost
than the other suggested methods of prevention.
Reliable — a spark gap does not degrade the overall transformer Or the s y stem reliability
Easy installation — the internal spark gap can he easily
retrofitted onto existing transformers.

Phis dielectric test is similar to the Applied Voltage test

Paint Finish Process

technique maintains the structural integrity of transfornlcrs that arc subjected to the long-term corrosive cnvironmcnts of coastal areas and 1n(]Lltit1'1al contanlinants.
Paint Process
Cathc dic cicctrodcposition of paint occurs when direct
current is applied to positively charged resin micelles
dispersed in water. The resin micelles migrate toward the
cathode [transformer tank) and are deposited in a proccss known as electrophoresis. As the process continues,
the thickness of the deposit builds, resistance increases,

perfornlance on the tests ]istcd below. The test results
clearly indicate the two-coat cathodic clectrodcpositic.ln
to be a leader in corrosion resistance, while maintaining
excellent performance in all areas of the ANSI stan(]amd.
"2Cf?C" passed 'Lill the tests listed here.
Salt Spray Test
Panels are scribal to bare metal and tested for 1000
hours in a 5% salt spray per ASTM 8117-85E1 and cvaluatcd per ASl'M D1654-79A. Loss of adhesion fn.)m bare
metal niLltit not exceed amore than 1;S" from the scribe.
Undcrfilnl corrosion must not exceed more than 1/16"
fR)nl the scribe.
Crosshatch Adhesion Test
Panels arc scribed to bare metal with a crosshatch pattern and tested per ASTM 1)3359-83. '1'llcrc m utit Inc.
