Single Phase Core & Coil Assembly: General Information

The document describes ERMCO's single phase core and coil assembly for distribution transformers. It has the following key capabilities: sizes from 5-250 kVA, voltages from 2.4-19.9 kV, and focuses on overload capability, fault current handling, transient performance, efficiency, thermal performance, and material standardization. The core is designed for low loss using high quality silicon steel in a step lap joint construction. The coils use insulation and winding techniques to pass impulse tests and provide balance and short circuit strength. The assembly process and quality assurance procedures are designed for reliability.

Single Phase Core

& Coil Assembly

General Information
ERMCO single phase distribution transformers are designed and
manufactured in compliance with all applicable ANSI, and RUS
standards. All transformers are oil filled, 65°C rise, and designed for
usual service conditions per ANSI C57.12.00.

Capabilities
• kVA sizes 5 through 250 kVA
• High voltages 2.4 through 19.9 kV (150 kV BIL)
• Low voltages 120 through 600 volts
• Shell form construction (two core loops and one coil)
Special design emphasis:
• Overload
• Fault current
• Extreme transient performance
• Electrical efficiency
• Thermal performance
• Material standardization

Core Cores
• Designed for low watts loss
• High quality grain oriented silicon steel
• Step lap joint construction
• State-of-the-art core forming
• Quality inspection procedure requires 100% loss testing

Coils
• Constructed to pass the next higher BIL ANSI impulse test
• Dual voltage coils are rated at highest BIL in both switch positions
• High voltage taps are wound in two sections for optimum
Coil
magnetic balance
• Wound in a low-high-low configuration in concentric layers
Coil Insulation:
• Each layer is insulated with thermally upgraded 65°C
rise paper
• Layer insulation is coated with an epoxy adhesive in
a diamond pattern for mechanical bonding
• Cooling ducts are rectangular with a flat surface to prevent
pressure damage on layer insulation

High Voltage Coils:
Greeneville, TN 37745
• Conductor is magnet wire with a film coating to insulate 1.877.267.1855
for turn-to-turn voltage
• Flat wire and hot pressing improve short circuit strength www.ermco-eci.com
• Coil ends have extra insulation for protection against
secondary induced lightning surges
Low Voltage Coils:
• Interlaced low voltage windings
• available upon request
• Wound with full width sheet conductor
• provides maximum short circuit strength
• All low voltage conductors are deburred
• provides added protection to layer insulation

Clamping Structure
• Rigid steel frames
• clamps the coil through high density press board shims
• No pressure is applied to the core
• stress free construction
• assures low core losses remain stable for the life
of the transformer
• The core and coil assembly is securely banded to the top
and bottom frames
• provides excellent short circuit strength

Coil Leads
Assembly Process
High Voltage Leads:
• Leads are stranded copper
• eliminates the possibility of breakage associated
with solid wire
• Leads are joined to coil conductor with insulation piercing
clamp connector
• eliminates the need to abrade the film which would
weaken the conductor
• Leads are attached to a rigid terminal block before connection
to the HV bushing
• provides increased reliability
Quality Assurance
Low Voltage Leads:
• Leads are hardened aluminum alloy
• prevents cold flow at the copper bushing connection
• extends the full length inside the coil body to the low
voltage bushing
• improves reliability by eliminating a welded joint for
a hard alloy tab
