APA ITU TRANSFORMER
Sebuah alat elektrik yang boleh menaikkan
atau menurunkan voltan arus ulangalik atau
memindahkan kuasa dari satu litar ke satu
litar lain tanpa ada perubahan kepada
frekuensi

8/9/2018 2
 PRINSIP ASAS
Energy can be efficiently transferred by
magnetic induction from one set of coils to
another set of coils by means of a varying
magnetic flux produced by an alternating
current

 CORE

P S

Vertical portion of the core is called LIMBS

Top and bottom portions are called the YOKES

8/9/2018 4
 HOW IT WORKS
Coil P is primary winding connected to the
supply. Coil S is secondary winding and is
connected to the load. The AC voltage
applied to P circulate an alternating current
through the winding, and this current
produces an alternating flux in the core. If
the whole of the flux passes through S, the
emf induced in each turn is the same for P
and S

TRANSFORMER LOSS
• No Load Loss – histerisis loss and eddy
current loss, constant loss once voltage is
applied irrespective of load

8/9/2018 7
• Load loss – copper loss or I²R loss (heat
loss), the amount of loss depend on the load
of the transformer
TRANSFORMER EFFICIENCY
• It is expressed in percentage and equal to (output
in watts x 100) x (output in watts + total losses in
watts)
• Total losses consist of a fixed loss in the iron and
the copper loss which is proportional to I²
• The maximum efficiency is obtained when the
copper and iron losses are equal
8/9/2018 8
 • As copper loss at full load is typically equal to
four times the iron loss, then the maximum
efficiency is usually obtained at half load

 MAINTENANCE
If a transformer is to give a long and trouble
free service, it should receive a reasonable
amount of attention and maintenance. The
principle objective is to maintain the
insulation in good condition. Moisture, dirt
and excessive heat are the main causes of
insulation deterioration

8/9/2018 136
 OIL
• General physical check for any sign of oil
leakage at gasket, radiator, tank,
conservator, pipes and valves
• If minor leakage, tighten bolts and nuts • If
leakage persist, have the leakage part of the
gasket replaced
• Oil in conservator tank should always be
kept at its maximum level indicated

8/9/2018 137
 OIL TEST
• Dielectric test, should exceed 30kV average
• Acidity in oil is 0.5mg of KOH per gram
of oil, exceeding 1.00mg of KOH oil should
be changed immediately, 0.5 – 1.00mg is to
test again after a period of 3 months
• Or when chloroform – soluble sludge is
produced

8/9/2018 138
 TEMPERATURE
• Normally a receptacle located at the
transformer main tank top is provided for a
thermometer to be placed into it. A period of
5 to 10 minutes should be allowed to
elapsed before reading is taken
• The maximum normal operating
temperature of the winding is 90 degrees C

8/9/2018 139

• Check for leak at the bushing gasket
• Tighten nuts around bushing gasket if

• Check the rubber of cork sheet gasket of the
breather
• Check the oil seal is kept at the correct level

8/9/2018 141
 CONSERVATOR TANK

• Check the oil level, top up if necessary •

Oil gauge glass should be cleaned to enable

• Check both HT and LV cable termination
and support are good
• Clean transformer room, door, exhaust fan
