• The value of k is taken from the previous table 𝑘 = 0.45 for 3-phase core type
distribution transformer.
• Voltage per turn, 𝐸𝑡 = 𝑘 𝑄 = 0.45 150 = 5.511𝑉
• Therefore, Flux in the core, 𝜙𝑚 =

• Hot rolled silicon steel grade 92 is used. The value of flux density 𝐵𝑚 is assumed as

• Secondary phase current, 𝐼𝑠 =

3∗𝑉𝑠

= 208.68 A
• Assuming current density 2.1 𝐴/𝑚𝑚2,
∴Area of the conductor =
208.68
2.1
= 99.37 𝑚𝑚2
.
• As the current rating is greater than 𝟐𝟎𝑨, it is not advisable to use circular cross section conductor.
• Taking 15 ∗ 7 𝑚𝑚 (𝑤𝑖𝑑𝑡ℎ ∗ 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠) strip (rectangular) type bare conductor.
∴Conductor area, 𝐴𝑠 = 105 𝑚𝑚2
• Current density in secondary winding,
𝐼𝑠
𝐴𝑠
=

105
= 1.98𝐴/𝑚𝑚2
That is less than our assumed current density value.
• The conductor is paper insulated (0.25 𝑚𝑚 in each side).
• The increase in dimension on account of paper covering is 0.5 𝑚𝑚.
• So, Dimension of insulated conductor = 15.5 ∗ 7.5 = 116.25 𝑚𝑚2

• Taking 2 − 𝑙𝑎𝑦𝑒𝑟 cylindrical winding, 22 𝑇𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑠 per layer,
∴Axial depth of L.V. winding = 22 ∗ 15.5 = 341 𝑚𝑚.
• The height of window is 431 mm. So, the winding leaves
( 431−341)
2
= 45 𝑚𝑚 clearance in each side.
• Considering 1.5 𝑚𝑚 thick Bakelite cylinders between the core and the L.V. winding , using 0.5 𝑚𝑚 pressboard
cylinder between layers of the L.V. winding,
• Radial depth of low voltage winding,
𝑏𝑠 = 𝑛𝑜. 𝑜𝑓 𝑙𝑎𝑦𝑒𝑟𝑠 ∗ 𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑡ℎ 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 + 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑛 𝑙𝑎𝑦𝑒𝑟𝑠
= 2 ∗ 7.5 + 0.5
= 15.5 𝑚𝑚
• Diameter of circumscribing circle ,𝑑 = 211 𝑚𝑚
• The inner diameter of of L.V. winding = 211 + (2 ∗ 1.5) = 214 𝑚𝑚
• The outer diameter of L.V. winding = 214 + 2 ∗ 15.5 = 245 𝑚𝑚

• 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑦 𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 = 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑦 𝑝ℎ𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 = 11 𝐾𝑉

= 2020
• As 5% tapping is to be provided so, the no. of turn has to be,= 1.05 ∗ 2020 = 2121
• Taking no. of coil in the H.V. side =14 ,
• 7 coils of 169 Turns , each of them has 13 layers , so there is 13 turns per layer.
• 6 coils of 140 turns, each of them has 14 layers , so there is 10 turns per layer.
• 1 coil of 98 turns, it has 14 layer , so there is 7 turns per layer.
• So the overall no of turns = 7 ∗ 169 + 6 ∗ 140 + 1 ∗ 98 = 2121.
• In the turn combinations, the maximum no of turns in the coils is 169. the impressed voltage on those coils is
169 ∗ 5.511 = 931.36 𝑉 which is below 1000 𝑉. The impressed voltage on the rest coils will also be less
than 1000 𝑉.
• In the turn combinations, the maximum voltage between two layers will be
= 2 ∗ 𝑛𝑜. 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑎𝑦𝑒𝑟 ∗ 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑒𝑑 𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛
= 2 ∗ 13 ∗ 5.511
= 143.286; 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑚𝑖𝑡.
• So, the inter layer voltage difference for other coils also will be less than 143.286 V.

• The phase current in H.V. side,
𝐼𝑝 =

3∗11000

∴Area of H.V. conductor=

• Modified area of bare conductor =

• The actual current density will be =

• Total axial depth of coils,
= (7 ∗ 13 ∗ 2.05 + 6 ∗ 10 ∗ 2.05 + 1 ∗ 7 ∗ 2.05)
= 323.9 𝑚𝑚
• Total no. of coil = 14, so there is 13 inter coil spacing.
• Considering 3.5 𝑚𝑚 inter coil spacing,
• Total axial depth will be of H.V. = 323.9 + 13 ∗ 3.5 = 369.4 𝑚𝑚
• The axial depth takes

• From 𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 7.22 the thickness of insulation between H.V. & L.V. winding = 5 + 0.9 × 11 = 14.9 𝑚𝑚,
this includes the width of oil duct also.
• The insulation between H.V. & L.V. winding is a 5𝑚𝑚 thick Bakelite paper cylinder. The H.V. winding is
wound on a former 5 𝑚𝑚 thick and the duct is 5𝑚𝑚 wide, space making the total insulation between
H.V. & L.V. winding 15𝑚𝑚.
• Considering 0.5 𝑚𝑚 thick paper insulation between layers,
• Maximum Radial depth of H.V. winding = 14 ∗ 2.05 + 13 ∗ 0.5 = 35.2 𝑚𝑚

• Per unit regulation, Ꜫ = 0.0155 ∗ cos Φ + 0.058 ∗ sin Φ
• So, per unit regulation at 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑃. 𝐹. = 0.0155
• At zero P.F. lagging = 0.058 [Φ = 90°]
• At 0.8 P.F. lagging = 0.0155 ∗ 0.8 + 0.058 ∗ 0.6 = 0.0472

• Total losses at full load : 682.6 + 2675.16 = 3357.76 𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑡
• Efficiency at full load unity P.F. = (

3357.76 + 150∗103) ∗ 100%
•

• For maximum efficiency, (𝑥2) ∗ 𝑐𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠 = 𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠
⇒ 𝑥 =
682.6
2675.16
∴ 𝑥 = 0.505
• So maximum efficiency occurs at 50.5% of the full load . This is a good figure for distribution transformer.

• Corresponding to flux densities of 1 𝑊𝑏/𝑚2
& 0.833 𝑊𝑏/𝑚2
in core & yoke respectively, with the help
of B-H curve 𝑎𝑡𝑐 = 120 𝐴/𝑚 & 𝑎𝑡𝑦 = 80 𝐴/𝑚.
• So, total magnetizing m.m.f. = 3 × 120 × 0.494 + 2 × 80 × 0.9022 = 322.192 𝐴
• So, magnetizing m.m.f. per phase, 𝐴𝑇𝑜 =

• No load current as a percent of full load current =

4.15
∗ 100% = 1%
• Allowing for joints etc. the no load current will be about 2 − 2.5% of full load current.

• Height over yoke , 𝐻 = 801 𝑚𝑚
• Allowing 50 𝑚𝑚 at the base & 150 𝑚𝑚 for oil,
• Height of oil level = 801 + 50 + 150 = 1001 𝑚𝑚
• Allowing another 200 𝑚𝑚 height for leads and bushing
Height of Tank, 𝐻𝑡 = 1001 + 200 = 1201 𝑚𝑚
• The height of tank is taken as 1.201 𝑚 .
• Width of the Tank,
𝑊𝑡 = 2𝐷 + 𝐷𝑒 + 2𝑙 = 𝟐 × 361.6 + 345.4 + 𝟐 × 𝟒𝟎 = 1148.6 𝑚𝑚 [ 𝑙 = 𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑘]
• The width of tank is taken as 1.148 𝑚 .
• The clearance used is approximately 50 𝑚𝑚 on each side.
• Length of the tank,
𝐿𝑡 = 𝐷𝑒 + 2𝑏 = 345.4 + 2 ∗ 70 = 385.4 𝑚𝑚 [𝑏 = 𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒]
• The length of tank is taken as 0.385 𝑚
• Total loss dissipating surface of tank

• Total specific loss dissipation due to radiation & convection is 12.5 𝑊/𝑚2

• Temperature rise =
3357.56
3.68∗12.5
= 72.99 °𝐶. This is over 35℃, therefore plain tank alone is not sufficient
for cooling & so tubes are required.
• Let the area of tubes be 𝑥 ∗ 3.68
• Loss dissipating surface= (1 + 𝑥) ∗ 𝑆𝑡 = 3.68 ∗ (1 + 𝑥)
• Loss dissipated=
12.5+8.8𝑥

• So, specific loss dissipation =

∴ 𝑥 = 1.55
• Area of tubes needed = 1.55 × 3.68 = 5.7 𝑚2
• So, dissipating area of each tube = 𝜋 × 0.05 × 1.55 = 0.243 𝑚2
• So number of tubes will be provided = 5.7/0.243 ≈ 23.46
