Course content

1 section • 9 lectures • 5h 36m total length

  • Introduction9:30

    This lecture is a preview of the course on power transformers

  • The Ideal Transformer54:31

    Here the student will be introduced to the basics of an ideal transformer, first reviewing electromagnetism, electromagnetic Induction, Faraday's & Lens's Law. Transformer turns, voltage & current ratios.



  • The Real Transformer9:09

    Here the student will move from the ideal to the real transformer including "losses". An "Equivalent Circuit" of a Real Transformer is developed.

  • Instrument Transformers18:42
  • a ) Three Phase Power Transformers1:49:42

    This lecture introduces the student to Nikola Tesla's 3 phase system power including phase relationships. The main type of transformer connection configurations (Y & Delta) are presented then the Y-Y; Delta- Delta, Y-Delta; Delta-y & Y-Zig Zag transformers are studied. Per Phase and Per Unit equivalent circuits are introduced for each type of configuration.

  • b) Transformer Clock System Vector Nomenclature16:51

    Three phase Transformer Clock System Vector Nomenclature is described along with multiple examples of transformer configuration and connections.


  • Transformer Construction and Cooling25:59

    Power transformer construction is looked at including "core" and "shell" types. The various types of cooling are described along with the EEE Standard C57.12.00-2000 - four-letter designation.


  • Transformer Protection53:43

    The various types of transformer protection are introduced here including including fuses, instantaneous and timed over-current protection, differential & percent differential protection. Difficulties that tend to handicap the conventional transformer differential protection and some solutions... 

    - Magnetizing inrush current during initial energization

    - CT's mismatch and saturation

    - Transformation ratio changes due to Tap changers


  • Transformer Relays38:29

    This chapter will look at some of the various types of relays out there from the "old school" relay, the (ASEA) Brown Boveri D21SE Two Winding Transformer Differential  Relay (which is still in use) as well as transformer management relays, the GE Multilin SR745; the Siemens 7UT51 and the MiCOM P632. The Buchholz Gas Relay is also reviewed along with Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA).

Requirements

  • Basic Electrical; Mathematics; Trigonometry

Description

Electromagnetic forces interact with electrically charged particles and electromagnetic fields; this course will study how these forces lead to voltage & current transformation. Ratios and polarity is also studied leading to the introduction of potential transformers & current transformers, and their use in conjunction with the relevant instruments such as ammeters, voltmeters, watt meters and energy meters.

Transformer core construction along with losses & cooling mitigation techniques. 3 phase transformer configurations are studied along with harmonic distortion, CT saturation and on-load tap-changer problems and how these problems are dealt with. Over-current and restraint differential transformer protection is developed along with a look at some examples of " Old School relays" as well as modern IDE (intelligent Electrical Devices) relays.

Transformer Connections: (Y – Y; Delta - Delta; Y - Delta; Delta - Y & Y - Zag Zig) are examined along with Transformer Clock System Vector Nomenclature.

Oil Analysis and the Buchholz Relay are also studied.
