PowerIT Liquid Filled Transformers
IEC standard, small and medium, rated power ≤2000kVA, HV ≤36kV
Even our standard
solutions are special
In almost every place where people live and
work you will find at least one transformer. But
as long as it keeps working and supplying power
to the escalator in the department store, the
hotel lift, the office computer, the oven in the
local bakery, the farm machinery or the petrochemical plant nobody gives it a second thought.
Our objective is to support you and to add value
to your activities by offering a comprehensive
range of top quality transformers. We also provide top class service and support.
However, transformers are one of the most important units in every production process. Without them the core activities of nearly every business and factory would come to a standstill –
with serious financial consequences.
solution to every problem. A high quality solution with better service and support, better for
the environment and yet with greater availability and a lower total cost ownership than our
competitors.
After nearly 100 years developing and manufacturing transformers we are well aware of this
dependency. This is why we never compromise on the performance, security or reliability of
our products. Nor on design, materials, manufacturing methods, environmental protection or
recycling.
All over the world – in underground railways,
in amusement parks and every place where
people work or live – you will find ABB transformers at work.
With this approach we can tailor the most appropriate technical
ABB invites you to find the optimal solution to
your application and to see with your own eyes
that even our standard solutions are special.

Construction features
Description
ABB Distribution Transformers manufacture a
wide range of oil and dry type transformers.
This brochure describes three phase oil type
distribution transformers up to 2000 kVA and
36kV. They are used to step down three-phase
high voltage to low voltage for power distribution, mainly in urban areas and for industrial
applications. Our standard transformers are designed for use in moderate climates and can be
installed both outdoors and indoors. The loading capability is designed to comply with
IEC 354. Distribution transformers can be hermetically sealed (the tank is completely filled
with oil) or equipped with an oil conservator.
Tanks are constructed with flexible corrugated
walls (fins), which enables sufficient cooling of
the transformer. The corrugated walls also compensate for the changes in the oil volume during
operation. An advantage of the hermetically sealed transformers is that oil is never in contact
with the atmosphere thus avoiding periodic oil
analysis.
Our transformers are adaptable for pole mounting or assembly in substations.
Standard features
Hermetically sealed:
Corrugated tank
HV and LV DIN bushings
Off-circuit tap changer
Oil drain valve
Oil filling plug on the cover
Lifting lugs
Earthing terminals
Rating plate
Mineral oil (inhibited or uninhibited)
Overpressure valve
ABB technology – Common
Technology (CT)
Our transformers are manufactured to provide
you with a high quality and reliable transformer. ABB have developed a Common Technology (CT) platform, which defines design standards, equipment and processes used in all our
factories. Use of this Common Technology enables us to guarantee our customers a high quality and consistent product.
The key production features of our small and medium distribution common technology are:
oval core
step lap
automatic cutting and stacking
of core legs
windings directly wound on the core legs
or mandrels with 2 HV coils in parallel
(smallest units)
epoxy diamond dotted paper insulation
between LV layers
tapered or full width layer insulation in
HV windings
What we achieved is:
standardisation of products
automation of production
stable process and quality
high reliability
higher LV insulation level
Additionally, for transformers with a conservator:
Magnetic oil level indicator
Buchholz relay
Oil filling plug on the conservator
Dehydrating breather
Other product types with different dimensions
and technical specifications can be designed
and manufactured on request.

Core
Windings
The magnetic circuit is of the three-column type
with mitred joints. It is manufactured with firstrate, grain oriented magnetic, cold-rolled silicon steel laminations. The mounted core is clamped down in order to reduce vibrations and minimize noise levels. Further noise level and no
load losses decreasing are achieved by step lap
core construction.
The windings are made of two components,
conductor material and the insulation material.
The conductors used are a high grade electrolytic copper or aluminium. They are insulated
with pure cellulose or double enamel. The HV
windings are wound either with round, double
enamel insulated, or rectangular, paper insulated wire. The LV windings are wound with rectangular paper insulated wire, enameled wire
or foil. The windings are designed to meet the
customer’s insulation level requirements and
also to withstand the short circuit forces as outlined in IEC 60076-5. The neutral points of LV
windings are brought up to the tank cover.
Core design is an important factor of any transformer’s efficiency. The geometric core arrangement and the materials chosen determine the
losses and noise levels. Grain oriented transformer sheet steel is used in the core construction. It is cut by the most modern, fully automated core cutting machinery and assembled
into limb and yoke sets. This results in high dimensional accuracy, excellent space factor, and
low loss values. By using step-lap technology,
the no-load currents can be reduced improving
the drawbacks associated with reactive power
compensation.

ABB
Off-circuit tap changer
The tappings of the HV winding, are connected
to the off-circuit tap changer located horizontally
between the yoke and the tank cover. The handle is located on the cover and should only be
operated when the transformer is de-energized.
The design prevents setting the off-circuit tap
changer to intermediate positions. The mechanism can also be padlocked during normal transformer operation.
Insulating liquids
The mineral oil – both inhibited and uninhibited types - with its electrical and chemical characteristics is in compliance with the IEC Standards and is P.C.B. and P.C.T. free.
ABB provides and promotes its own solution
as well. BIOTEMP® is biodegradable, vegetable-oil-based dielectric insulating fluid used in
electrical transformers. The product reduces environmental threats posed by transformer insulating oil spills.
On special requests other fluids are available.

and painted in the factory
Tank and cover
Painting and surface treatment
Tank walls are made of corrugated cooling surfaces. The bottom plate, side and frames are of
welded construction. The welds are tested for oil
tightness. All protection device flanges, bushings, tap switch drive and lifting lugs are fitted
on the tank cover. The cover is bolted to the
tank frame.
All metal parts are carefully sand-blasted. The
initial protective coating is made up of a single
coat of one pack epoxy paint. The final paint
coating is made up of several coats of paint.
Alternatively, hot dip galvanized transformers
can be supplied for use in heavy corrosion areas.
All units are painted in RAL 7033 but other
colours are available on request. Detailed painting procedures for different environmental conditions are also available.
The underbase channel is welded to the base
plate and the rollers are suitable for either longitudinal or transverse movements. Single pole
3-phase transformers are delivered with flat base
as standard, but optionally can be equipped
with underbase channel beams where bi-directional wheels are a requirement.
The complete tank is tested and approved according to CENELEC HD 428.6 S1 standard. Special type lifecycle tests of more than 10 000 cycles simulating over 30 years operation were
carried out with positive results.
