5. Core Design
The value of k is taken from the table, [7.2 in A course in Electrical Machine Design. AK. Sawhney]
K=0.45 for 3-phase core type distribution transformer.
Voltage per turn Et =K 𝑄 =0.45 75 =3.90 V Therefore,
Flux in the core, Φm =

Hot rolled silicon steel grade 92 is used. The value of flux density Bm is assumed as 1.0 Wb/m2.
Net iron Area Ai=

The window space factor for the required rating transformer is Kw = 10/(30+KV)= =

.
6
= 0.273 ≈ 0.27
The current density in the windings is taken 2.5 A/mm2
Output of transformer: Q =3.33fBmKwδAwAi× 10−3
Therefore, Window Area, Aw=
75
3.33×50×1×0.273×2.5×106×0.0×10−3
=37.56 m2
=37.56× 103 mm2
Taking the ratio Height to Width of window as 2.7:
Hw×Ww = 37.56 × 103 mm2 or, 2.7×Ww² = 37.56 × 103
therefore width of window, Ww=118 mm &
Window height, Hw =318 mm
Area of window provided, Aw =118 × 318
= 37524mm2
= 0.0375 m2
Distance between adjacent core center, D = Ww+d =118 + 177
=295 mm

For a distribution Transformer
with rating 65KVA, Kw =
10/(30+KV)
For distribution , large power
transformers,self oil cooled type
𝜹 = 2.2 to 3.2 A/mm2
9. Yoke Design
The area of Yoke is taken as 1.2 times that of limb.
Therefore, Flux density in Yoke = 1/1.2 = 0.833 Wb/m2
Net area of Yoke =1.2×17.57×103 =21.084×103 mm2
Gross area of Yoke =21.084×103 /0.9=23.426×103 mm2
Taking the section of Yoke as rectangular,
Depth of Yoke, Dy=a=151mm
Therefore, height of Yoke, Hy =
23.426×10

Secondary Phase Current, Is=

3×250
=100 A
Current density 2.5 A/mm2 is Used.
Area of Secondary Conductor as=100/2.5=40 mm2
Using a bare conductor of 13×3.2 mm,
Area of bare conductor , as=41.6 mm2
Current density in secondary winding , δs=100/41.6=2.40 A/mm2
The conductor are paper covered. The increase in dimension on account of account of paper
covering is 0.5 mm.
Therefore Dimension of insulated conductor = 13×3.7 mm2

14. Low Voltage Winding
Using 3 layers for the winding.
Helical winding is used. Therefore, space has to be provided (
𝑇𝑠
3

3
+ 1) =22.3= 23 (approx)
turns along the axial depth.
Axial depth of L.V winding, Lcs =23×13=299 mm
The Height of window is 486 mm. This leaves a clearance of (318-299)/2=9.5 mm of each side of the
windings. [Which fulfill the minimum requirement 6 mm]
Radial depth of low voltage winding,
bs=no. of layers x radial depth of conductor + insulator betn layers
=3×3.2+2×0.5 = 10.6 mm
Diameter of circumscribing circle, d =177 mm
Using pressboard wraps 1.5 mm thick as insulation between l.v. winding and core.
Inside diameter of l.v. winding=117+1.5×2=120 mm
Outside diameter of l.v. winding= 120+10.6 =130.6 mm 12
16. High Voltage WindingContinued…
Primary Line voltage =6600V (Connection: Delta)
Primary Phase Voltage, Vp= 6600 V
Therefore, no. of turns per phase, Tp=Vp ×
𝑇𝑠
𝑉𝑠
=
6600×64
250
=1689.6 = 1690 (approx)
As ±5% tapping is to be provided, therefore the no. of turns is increased to Tp=1.05×1690=1775
The voltage per coil is about 1500 V, therefore using 15 coils,
Voltage per coil= 6600/15=440 V
Turns per coil= 1775 /15=118
Using 14 normal coils of 120 turns and one reinforced coil of 95 turns.
Total H.V turns provided, Tp =14 × 120 + 1×95=1775
Taking 24 layers per coil. Turns/layer=120/24= 5 (approximately)
Maximum voltage between layers = 2×5×3.9 =39 V
H.V. winding phase current, Ip =(75×1000)/(3×6600)=3.78 A
As the current is below 20A,
cross-over coils are used H.V winding taking a current density of 2.1 A/mm2
Area of H.V. conductor, ap =3.78/2.1=1.8 mm2 14

Axial depth of one coil =5x 1.58 =7.9 mm
The space betn adjacent coils are 5 mm in height.
Axial length of H.V winding:
Lcp =no. of coils x axial depth of each coil + depth of spacers
=15×7.9 + 15×5=193.5 mm
The height of window is 318 mm & therefore the space left betn winding & window is (318-193.5)/2
=62.25 mm.
The clearance left on each side is 62.25 mm, which is sufficient for 6.6kV transformer.
15
18. High Voltage Winding
The insulation used between layers is 0.3 mm thick paper
Radial depth of H.V coil, bp=15 × 1.58 + 14×0.3=27.9
Thickness of insulation between h.v. and l.v. windings= 5+0.9kV=5+0.9*6.6=10.94 mm
Inside diameter of H.V. winding
=Outside diameter of L.V winding + 2 x thickness of insulation.
=130.6+2×10.94≈152.48 mm
Outside diameter of H.V. winding
De = Inside diameter of H.V. winding + 2 x Radial depth of H.V coil
=152.48+2×27.9=208.08 mm
Clearance betn windings=D – Outside diameter of H.V. winding
=295– 208.08=86.92 mm (Which is for enough)

25. Losses
LOSSES:
I2R loss at 75℃ = 3 × 𝐼𝑝2 × 𝑅𝑝=3 × 3.782 × 21.35=915.17 W
Taking stray loss 15% above.
Total I2R loss, 𝑃𝑐=1.5 X 915.17 =1372.755 W
CORE LOSS:
Taking density laminations as 7.6X103 kg/m3
Weight of 3 limbs =3×0.3×0.01757×7.6×103=107.388 kg
Corresponding to flux density 1 Wb/ m2, specific core loss 1.2 W/kg
Core loss in limbs=107.388×1.2=128.8656 W
Weight of two Yokes = 2X0.761X0.021084X7.6X103=243.88 kg
Corresponding to flux density 0.833 Wb/m2, specific core loss 0.85 W/kg
Core loss in Yoke=243.88X0.85=207.298 W
Total core loss, Pi=128.87 + 207.3 =336.17 W
23
27. Efficiency
Total losses at full load = 336.17 +1372.755 =1708.925 W
Efficiency at full load unity P.f. =
𝟕𝟓𝟎𝟎𝟎
𝟕𝟓𝟎𝟎𝟎+𝟏𝟕𝟎𝟖.𝟗𝟐𝟓
× 𝟏𝟎𝟎% =97.77 %
For maximum efficiency x=

= 𝟎. 𝟒𝟗4
Thus maximum efficiency occurs at 49.4% of full load. This is a good figure for distribution
transformer.

29. No load Current
Corresponding to flux densities of 1 Wb/m2 & 0.833 Wb/m2 in core & yoke respectively atc= 120
A/m & aty = 80 A/m.
So, total magnetizing m.m.f. = 3×120×0.296+2×80×0.705 = 219.36 A
So, magnetizing m.m.f. per phase, ATo = 219.36/3 = 73.12
Magnetizing current, Im = ATo/ 𝟐 TP =

Loss component of no load current, IL =

No load current, Io = 𝟑𝟎. 𝟓𝟗 × 𝟏𝟎
^ − 𝟑 𝟐 + 𝟑𝟔. 𝟎𝟐 × 𝟏𝟎^

Allowing for joints etc the no load current will be about 2.5% of full load current

31. Tank Design
Height over Yoke, H = 628 mm
Allowing 50 mm at the base & 150 mm for oil,
Height of oil level =628+50+150=828 mm
Allowing 200 mm Height for leads etc,
Height of Tank Ht=828 + 200 =1028mm ≈ 1.028 m
Assuming a clearance of 40 mm along the width on each side,
Width of the Tank, Wt=2D+De+2l=2 × 295 + 208.08 + 2 × 40
=878.08 mm≈0.87 m
Length of the tank, Lt=De+2b=208.08+2X50 =308.08 mm≈0.308 m
Total loss dissipating surface of tank =2 0.87 + 0.308 × 1.028 = 2.422 m2
Specific loss dissipation due to radiation & convention is 12.5 w/m2℃
Temperature rise =
1708.925
2.422×12.5
= 56.44 ℃
This is not bellow 35℃ and therefore plain tank is not sufficient for cooling and tubes are required.
