Winding: It is copper wire with insulation, transformer consists two

types of winding 1. Primary winding 2. Secondary winding.

T. THOWSEEF AHAMMED Page 3

 Oil: It is a mineral oil with high viscosity its BDV (break down
voltage) is between 40kv to 50kv in oil testing the gap produces 2.5mm/minute.

OLTC (on load tap changer): It is used to change the tap position
of the transformer on load condition depends on output voltage, it is located at
the primary side of the transformer because cable size depends on the current at
secondary side high current and at primary side low current is available that’s y
OLTC is located at primary side.

Buccholz relay: This relay is located between the transformer &

conservator. This relay is activated when ever abnormal pressure is produced in
the transformer tank & then it will trip the Main incoming source of the
transformer & gives the alarm. The abnormal pressure is produced due to
moisture or the burning of winding/loose contacts etc.

Breather: - It is connected to the conservator tank, it consists silicon,

it is used to absorbs the moisture from the in the transformer tank, under normal
condition it is in sky blue colour if moisture is observed it turns in to pink
colour.

Temperature sensors: Temperature raises due to heavy load,

unbalance load, loose contacts, loss of property of the Transformer oil, low level
of the oil, frequent tap change, poor maintaining of power factor etc.

Conservator: It is located at the top of the transformer, the oil level

in transformer can raise and falls due to temperature this oil can enters in to the
conservator chamber, if temperature increases the oil in the transformer expands,
if temperature decreases the oil in the transformer also decreases, the conservator
consists oil above the half of the tank.
