Transformers

Transformers are used for changing voltage levels. Other functions are galvanic isolation, establishing phase shift and performing measurements. Transformers that bring about a phase shift can be used to feed a frequency converter in order to remove the largest harmonic currents.

Safety measures when working on transformers

Work on a transformer is only permitted in voltage-free and earthed condition. Transformer windings can be normally insulated on the

  • uter surface by means of an epoxy resin layer. This

insulation does not, make them shockproof in terms of the valid standards.

Safety measures when working on transformers

Every transformer radiates a magnetic field when in

  • peration.

The magnetic field is not significantly reduced by a housing. Any person with a cardiac pacemaker or metal implants should avoid the area within a radius of 3 meters. Housing or housing parts must not be disassembled during

  • peration.

Safety measures when working on transformers

Verify that any conductor is de energized before testing for continuity or resistance Uncontrolled release of energy may result if the inductors current is suddenly interrupted Electromagnets may produce large external forces which may affect the proper operation of the protective instruments and controls.

Safety measures when working on transformers

By suddenly de-energizing a magnet large eddy currents can be produced in adjacent conductive materials that may cause excessive heating and hazardous voltages. A magnetic field can attract nearby magnetic material, including tools, which could cause injury or damage on impact.

Protection against touch

Transformers supplied as only IP00 must be locked away under use so that when energized they can never be

  • touched. The transformer cast resin surface is not an

approved isolator and therefore is not safe to touch. Accidental touch protection could be provided through the installation of safety barriers, gates or similar.

Earth connections The total resistance of the protective earthing must be dimensioned in such a way that protective systems are in

  • peration all the time and can act upon an earth fault.

The cross section of the earthing connections must comply with the regulations and on-site conditions and must be maintained at all times also during repair and maintenance

  • perations.

Electrical and mechanical connections The minimum distance (according to the rules) between live parts and between live parts and earth must never be

  • diminished. This relates to the distances between cables

and high voltage windings in particular. All retaining elements of the screw connections are to be checked and replaced if necessary before reconnecting. All connections must fit tightly and be mechanically secure. The bolts for the electrical connections are to be tightened using a torque wrench.
