3. Product Specification
•Design Automation of two types of transformer
o Pole Mount Transformer o Ground Mount Transformer (200 to 10000 KVA)
(Up to 500 KVA )
-With Panel Cooling -With Fin Cooling
(ONAN / ONAF)
5. The Need for Transformation®
• To support the growing demand and standardizing the product design
in the design process of Distribution Transformers
• Optimise Cooling calculations and radiator positions
• Standard parts Arrangement maintaining minimum electrical
clearances
• Design to be Manufactured across the globe
• Eliminate approximation in Quotes to the client and to manufacturing
• Link between Quotations and Contracts
• Knowledge Capture and Reuse

Software
• Solidworks / Inventor / Pro-Engineer
• VB.Net 2003
• MS SQL 2000
Production Hardware
• Intel Xeon Core2 Duo 3.00 Ghz
• RAM : 8 GB
• NVIDIA Quadro FX3500 with 256 MB RAM
8. The Design Challenges
• Maintaining Optimum Tank Space Utilisation
• Optimisation of Tank dimensions
• Electrical and mechanical clearances
• Combination of Panel radiators for effective cooling
• Default and Custom Bushing positions
• Placement of Accessories
• 60% of Custom Components & 40% of Standard parts
• Accommodating continuous change in the customer
requirement
9. Salient Features of Transformation®
• Does the complete Design and Optimization of
– Fin Dimensions (Height, Depth and Pitch)
– Tank Dimensions
– Cold Oil Level
– Panel Radiator Height
– Number of Radiator Panels
– Selection of Radiator Banks position based on Bushing Arrangement
– Core Frame Selection
• Interference checking within the User Interface Level and Provision to the User
to modify the Location / Position of a Accessory
10. Salient Features of Transformation®
• Standard Components (Brought out) will be accessed by the application from the
Client Server (External Location)
• Different Output options from the Application
– Complete Transformer (Default)
– Core and Coil Assembly
– Complete Transformer without Core and Coil Assembly
• Admin Module to Add / Modify the specific Data Base Values
• ERP (Material Database) connection
• Default and Custom bushing positions
• Generation of Electrical Wiring Diagram and Bill of Materials
