Accessories for dry type transformers

 

A wide range of accessories suitable for different purposes, from safety protection to special control of life parameters of your transformer.  
Below our standard and on request devices.

 


Standard accessories

  • 4 bidirectional wheels
  • 2 grounding terminals
  • 1 identification plate
  • 2 or 4 lifting lugs (according to the rating power)
  • 4 connections for haulage
  • Tapping terminal board on MV side
  • Threaded pins provided with bolt for MV terminal connection

Accessories upon request

 

Dial thermometer with 2 contacts for central column temperature monitoring

Description: The temperature inside the transformer is obtained by a sensor and shown by a pointer on the dial. It can be provided with two contacts, min and max (NO or NC).


PT 100 thermoresistances on LV windings and/or core

Description: If connected to the suitable electronic device they allow logging of windings and core and remote transmission of data.


PT 100 electronic unit

Description: Supplied loose for assembly on the control room panel by the customer. It logs the signal coming from the PT100s (max 4) and indicates the measured temperature. It includes 2 relays with adjustable threshold for the alarm and release signals as well as an auxiliary contact to control a possible set of fans for air forced ventilation.


 

PTC thermal probes in LV windings andor core

PTC thermal probes on LV windings and/or core

Description: May be requested on LV windings and/or on the core. If connected to a proper electronic relay, they allow a system to signal a prefixed threshold. PTCs do not allow temperature measuring neither indication, they just give a threshold control. It is therefore necessary to have a set of PTC and a relay for every threshold required.


PTC relay

Description: They are assembled directly on the transformer or they are supplied loose on request.


 

Elastimold bushings (fixed or movable parts)

Description: The line connections on MV coils are designed in order to be connected to medium voltage cables with Elastimold plug terminal. The plug connection allows a very quick connection and this is a great advantage in case it has to be manipulated frequently. It should however be noted that the use of plug connections on resin transformers does not modify in any way design constraints for the protection against contacts to live parts since the entire MV coil is considered as live part. Elastimold movable parts at MV side may be supplied to make disconnectable MV cable terminals. Movable parts should be selected based on the characteristics of the cable used for the installation. We recommend therefore enclosing a technical sheet of the cable with your request.


Antivibrating pads

Description: Standard version is composed of special rubber supports supplied loose to be positioned by the customer under the transformer's wheels. They allow a great reduction of the vibrations transmitted to the structure and therefore of the noise and possible structural resonances. Antivibrating supports may be designed and supplied for special application in compliance with customer's specification.


Protective cover for the tapping links

Protecting cover for tapping links

Description: It is realized by a plexiglass lid anchored to the coil to protect the links zone. It is necessary if the transformer is installed in particularly hostile or polluted environment (high level of humidity, dust, small solid matters, etc.) It does not reduce the design restraints for the protection against contacts to live parts since the entire MV coil is considered as live part. 


Auxiliary service terminal board, protective type

Description: It centralizes possible auxiliary services and protects the terminal boards.


 

 

Set of electric fans for Air forced cooling (AF)

Set of electric fans for air forced cooling (AF)

Description: Such set includes from 2 to 6 fans, based on transformer type and power, fixed to the base of the transformer. They allow increasing of nominal power of the transformer about 25÷40%, based on customer's needs. For a proper performance, the set of fans should be assembled together with a control and command switchboard (see electronic device for PT100 monitoring) to be ordered separately.

SEA can offer flexible solutions for forced cooling from standard AF (air forced) up to AFWF (water cooled systems).


 

Electrostatic screen between primary and secondary

Electrostatic screen between primary and secondary

Description: It greatly reduces coupling capacity between MV and LV winding. This drastically reduces the overvoltages transferred from MV to LV, which in certain cases may damage any sensitive loads.

 


Pin balls

Description: It is a device used for connection to the ground of the transformer in order to perform the maintenance in a safety way.


 

Overvoltage protection devices

Description: The aim is the transformer protection from impulsive or atmospheric overvoltages.


 

Protection boxes and enclosures

Description: A wide range of protection enclosures for every installation need according to the International Protection rating (up to IP 66) or NEMA standard, with natural or forced cooling. The outputs of the cables can be realized as usual from bottom or top; in case of special customer's needs the outputs can be projected accordingly. It can be realized also a special surface treatment with hot zinc painting if needed.
