This document summarizes the construction of distribution transformers manufactured by CG Power Systems. It describes the core, which is made of silicon steel sheets cut at 45 degrees and stacked in an overlap pattern to minimize losses. It also describes the windings, which include copper or aluminum foil for the low voltage winding and layered insulated conductors for the high voltage winding. The core and windings are assembled to form the active part, which is then connected to bushings and may include an off-circuit tap changer to adjust the output voltage.
The document discusses different types of transformer cores. It describes how laminating steel cores reduces eddy current losses compared to solid cores. Common laminated core designs include E-I cores made of stacked steel sheets and C-cores made by winding a steel strip. Toroidal cores formed from a continuous ring-shaped strip of silicon steel, powdered iron, or ferrite provide advantages like smaller size and lower magnetic fields but have higher manufacturing costs. Air cores eliminate hysteresis losses but have very poor regulation due to high leakage inductance, making them unsuitable for power distribution but useful for radio frequency applications.

In induction hardening, thermal fatigue is one of the main failure modes of induction heating coils. There have been papers published that describe this failure mode and others that describe some good design practices [1-3]. The variables previously identified as the sources of thermal fatigue include radiation from the part surface, frequency, current, concentrator losses, water pressure and coil wall thickness. However, there is very little quantitative data on the factors that influence thermal fatigue in induction coils available in the public domain. By using finite element analysis software this study analyzes the effect of common design variables of inductor cooling, and quantifies the relative importance of these variables. A comprehensive case study for a single shot induction coil with Fluxtrol A concentrator applied is used for the analysis.

MAGNETIC FLUX CONTROL IN INDUCTION INSTALLATIONSFluxtrol Inc.
http://fluxtrol.com
It is well known that performance of some induction systems may be
significantly improved by application of magnetic flux controllers. They are used to
concentrate, shield and/or redistribute the magnetic field which generates power in the part. Theoretical and practical evidences are presented in the paper, which show that there is still significant potential for improvement in innovative and traditional induction technologies due to magnetic flux control. Utilizing magnetic flux controllers in heat treating processes results in excellent heat pattern control and improvement of parameters of inductors and entire power delivery systems. In melting systems, especially in the case of vacuum furnaces, cold crucible and other specialty furnaces, the magnetic control can provide energy savings, magnetic field shielding, shorter melting cycles and optimized field distribution for metallurgical processes. Comparison of different groups of materials for magnetic flux control (laminations, ferrites and Soft Magnetic Composites, aka Magnetodielectrics) is also presented in the paper. Several examples of magnetic flux control illustrate the presented material based on more than 20 years of R&D and practical experience of scientists and practitioners at Fluxtrol Inc.
Hot Hydroforging of Lightweight Bilateral Gears and Hollow ProductsFluxtrol Inc.
Feasibility of making lightweight powertrain products with hot hydroforging of steel/low density material hybrid billets is explored. A bimaterial billet is designed such that a steel wall encloses a low density core 100%. Furthermore the low density core is selected among the materials that have lower melting or softening temperature than steel such as aluminum and glass. In hot hydroforging the bimaterial billet is heated to 1000-1200 C range similar to the conventional hot forging of steel. However, in hot hydroforging the core is in liquid or viscous state while steel shell is in solid state similar to the conventional hydroforming. During hot hydroforging the viscous/liquid core has negligible resistance to flow thereby providing a uniform hydrostatic pressure inside the steel and enabling a uniform deformation of the solid steel wall.
Optimization Potential of Induction Heating Systems by Stefan Schubotz and Ha...Fluxtrol Inc.
As published in Heat Processing (March 2015).
Depending on workpiece and process parameters, induction heating of components requires a certain amount of power. By simulation, experiments and experience, this needed energy can be well anticipated and enables the dimensioning of the converter. Basically, cost of the converter increases with rising provided power. Due to increasing energy expenses, efficiency of the system plays an important role. In this article, the influences of different process parameters on the efficiency of an example are investigated and valuable potential for improvement is demonstrated, so that the heating process is implemented with minimum converter power.

Hot Hydroforging for Lightweighting Presentation IDE 2015 Fluxtrol Inc.
Bimaterial products can be hot forged from a bimaterial billet where the steel shell encloses the lightweight core fully. A bimaterial billet can be forged in solid state however a better forging quality can be achieved if the core material is viscous thereby providing uniform hydrostatic pressure to steel shell during forging similar to a hydroforming process. However, the similarity only pertains to the hydrostatic pressure developed inside the deforming billet not to the process temperatures. While hydroforming is done at room temperatures the hot hydroforging is done at temperatures greater than 1000C enabling deformation of steel into intricate topologies without a fracture. Other differences between the hydroforming and hot hydroforging are that the amount of fluid is constant in hot hydroforging and the fluid may solidify and become an integral part of the product after forging and cooling. The lightweight core material will need to have a lower melting or softening temperature than the steel for Hot Hydroforging. Aluminum, magnesium, and glass are such candidate lightweight materials.

Methods of laying cables underground include direct burying, draw-in systems using ducts, and solid systems within troughs. Underground cables have advantages over overhead lines like better appearance and reliability, but also challenges like higher installation costs and fault localization difficulties.
Magnetic FLux Control in Induction Systems - Fluxtrol Heat Processing Paper Fluxtrol Inc.
By Dr. Valentin Nemkov - Fluxtrol Inc.
Magnetic flux controllers are widely used in induction heating systems for concentration, shielding or redistribution of
the magnetic field which generates power in the part to be heated. Controllers, made of Soft Magnetic Composites
(SMC), provide accurate heat pattern control, improve parameters of inductors and performance of the entire installation.
In melting systems, especially in the case of vacuum furnaces, cold crucible and other specialty furnaces, the magnetic
control can provide large energy savings, magnetic field shielding, shorter melting cycles and optimized field distribution
for enhancement of the metallurgical processes. Due to the diversity of applications, service conditions of controllers
are very different including very severe cases. Mechanical, magnetic, electrical, thermal and other properties must be
considered in design and application of SMC. This article describes properties and performance of SMC typically used
in induction heating technology. Several presented case stories are based on more than 20 years of R&D and practical
experience of scientists and practitioners at Fluxtrol, Inc. Presented material may be interesting not only for induction
heating community but also for all people using AC magnetic fields in technological processes.

The document provides an overview of transformers, including their history, working principle, construction, types, applications, tests, specifications, and new technologies. Some key points:
1. Transformers transfer electrical energy between circuits through electromagnetic induction without a direct electrical connection, allowing voltage levels to be increased or decreased as needed.
2. William Stanley is credited with developing the first practical transformer design in 1885, building upon earlier work by European inventors.
3. Transformers come in two main construction types - core and shell - and can be classified by cooling method or design features for different applications.
4. Transformers enable efficient long-distance transmission of power by increasing voltage to reduce current and transmission losses,
Distribution transformers are used to reduce high primary voltages to lower utilization voltages for consumers. They come in various types including large distribution transformers used to receive energy from high voltage levels and distribute to substations or industries, and single-phase pole mounted transformers used for residential overhead distribution. Voltage regulation is the percentage difference between no-load and full-load voltages, and is affected by the voltage drop due to current flowing through the transformer windings. Losses in distribution transformers include core losses, copper losses from winding resistance, and stray losses from stray fluxes.

A transformer consists of a magnetic core and two electrical windings. Electricity from the primary winding induces electricity in the secondary winding through magnetic coupling. There are two main types of construction: core type and shell type. Core type transformers have concentric windings around the core limbs, while shell type have windings around a central limb with side limbs completing the magnetic path. Transformers change voltage and current levels, allow impedance matching, and provide electrical isolation between circuits. They are vital components for electric power transmission and distribution.

It describes the manufacturing process and types of windings used for different transformer ratings. Finally, it outlines common transformer tests performed, including on-load tests, impedance tests, and lightning impulse tests.
A transformer is a static device that changes alternating current (AC) at one voltage level to AC at another voltage level through electromagnetic induction. It consists of two coils, the primary and secondary windings, wrapped around a laminated iron core. When an alternating current is applied to the primary winding, it produces an alternating magnetic field that induces a voltage in the secondary winding. This allows the transformer to step up or step down voltages without changing the frequency. The transformer transfers power between its two coils through electromagnetic coupling between the coils wound around the iron core.
Special equipments are available to manufacture the 3D transformer wound core with complete technical support. Both plane wound core and 3D wound core can be realized.

The construction of a transformer comprises two active components: the fer-romagnetic
core and the windings. Within the transformer industry, the core and
windings together are normally referred to as the “active part”. The passive part
of a transformer is the cooling system, in case of liquid-immersed transformers
consisting of the tank and the cooling liquid (mineral oil, silicone fluid, synthetic
organic ester or natural ester).
The heart of the matter: the ferromagnetic core
The cut of the core sheets and the material of the ferromagnetic core are optimized
according to the desired no-load characteristics and the specified noise level.
Extensive rationalization of the shape and the clamping devices enables CG Power
Systems to produce a core with minimum losses and dimensions. This methodol-ogy
optimizes the consumption of both materials and energy, bringing benefits to
the environment and to both the user and manufacturer.
The core has to be constructed in such a way as to limit the energy losses caused
by eddy currents and hysteresis to a minimum. This is achieved by the use of
silicon steel, a special soft steel with a 3.5% silicon content, which is characterized
by low hysteresis losses and high resistivity. The reactive power dissipation can be
lowered by limiting flux disturbances and minimizing air gaps in the joints between
the core legs and the yokes.
Material
The core is constructed using thin sheets of cold-rolled grain-oriented magnetic
silicon steel. Conventional grain oriented steel (CGO steel) is used for transformers
with normal no-load loss characteristics, while transformers with reduced no-load
losses are often built using higher-quality HiB steel, usually domain-refined (e.g.
laser treated). These steel sheets are 0.23 to 0.35mm thick. Extremely low no-load
losses can be achieved only by using amorphous metal. This ribbon of only
0.025mm thickness has very specific properties and therefore it requires a specially
adapted design and use in wound cores only.
Construction of a distribution transformer
5. 5
The core, main characteristics:
>> The 45° cut of the core sheets guarantees optimum flow of magnetic flux.
>> The oval shape allows optimization of the core section.
>> Low sound levels are achieved by using the step-lap stacking pattern.
>> The type of magnetic steel is chosen according to the desired loss level.
>> The simple supporting and clamping structures of the core contribute to
the compactness of the design.
Cutting and stacking of the core sheets
Minimum magnetic flux distortion in the transition areas between yokes and core
legs is achieved by optimizing the cut of the core sheets and the stacking pattern.
First of all, the core sheets are cut at an angle of 45°, thus allowing maximum flow
of magnetic flux in the rolling direction which is the preferred flux path with lowest
losses. Then the sheets are stacked in an overlap pattern of either single or multiple
overlaps.
The multiple overlap or step-lap method offers additional benefits in terms of lower
no-load losses and noise levels. Because they involve a more complicated produc-tion
technology, step-lap cores are preferably made on fully automatic cutting and
stacking machines.
Shape of core section
The vast majority of the distribution transformers built by CG Power Systems have
an oval-shaped core section, formed by combining the traditional stepped round
shape with a square mid-section. This gives great flexibility to the designers and
allows them to select the ideal individual core section, while maintaining the use of
standard materials and dimensions. This method combines the benefits of a rec-tangular
core section (simplicity of production) with those of a round core section
(excellent short-circuit withstand capability of the windings).
Clamping devices
By using simple profiled-steel yoke clamping systems and a number of metal
tensioning straps, CG Power Systems has eliminated largely the need for either
clamping bolts in the yokes (which distort the magnetic flux) or tie rods between
the upper and lower yokes (which requires a larger tank).
The core
6. 6
Low voltage windings
Low voltage windings of distribution transformers are usually made of copper
or aluminium sheet conductor (foil). The benefit of foil is that any high voltage
ampere-turn asymmetry is compensated automatically by an appropriate internal
current distribution in the low voltage foil.
This reduces the axial stresses produced by short-circuits to a minimum (down to
10% of those for conventional windings), thus enabling the axial support construc-tion
to be greatly simplified.
Designs are adapted to the thermal, electrical and chemical characteristics of both
conductor materials, thus ensuring that both versions are of equivalent quality and
performance.
The maximum voltage between each turn is only a few tens of volts. This allows
the insulation needed between the turns (foils) to be limited to 1 or 2 sheets of fine
kraft paper or Nomex® (1). According to the design specification, this insulation
may be coated with a thermo-hardening epoxy adhesive which cures and bonds
during the drying process.
The structures forming the insulating space separating the low and high voltage
windings, are fitted directly onto the low voltage foil winding, thus forming a part of
it. These processes enhance the transformer’s short-circuit withstand capability.
Supplementary benefits of foil windings are:
>> Greater simplicity in fitting cooling ducts.
>> More even heat distribution through the windings.
>> Semi-automatic winding techniques can be used.
Windings Construction of a distribution transformer
7. 7
High voltage windings
High voltage windings are almost exclusively of layered construction. The copper
or aluminium conductors are made of one or more round or rectangular wires,
either with an insulating enamel coating or wrapped in insulating paper or Nomex®
(1).
The insulation between the layers consists of sheets of pre-coated kraft paper or
Nomex® (1). The special epoxy adhesive coating in diamond pattern cures during
the drying process, bonding the windings into a single structure and leaving chan-nels
for the oil impregnation.
The high voltage winding is wound directly onto the low voltage winding, over the
structures forming the LV/HV insulation, giving maximum mechanical strength,
rigidity and compactness.
This mechanical strength is of the utmost importance since, in the event of short-circuit,
the windings have to sustain very high radial repellent forces. The mechani-cal
effect of these forces is minimal in round windings, since these windings
inherently have the ideal form to withstand radial stresses. The mechanical effect is
much greater in rectangular windings. In order to combine the advantages of a rec-tangular
core section (simplicity of production) with the benefits of round windings
(excellent short-circuit withstand capability), CG Power Systems has developed the
unique concept of oval-shaped cores and windings (see drawing above).
(1) Nomex® high temperature insulation system is used in the ultra-compact and fire-safe SLIM® and Bio-
SLIM® line transformers according to IEC 60076-14.
The main benefits of layered windings are:
>> They form a simple winding, which allows continuous or semi-automatic
winding.
>> The impulse voltage distribution throughout the winding is predictable and
controlled.
>> Axial cooling ducts are simple to build and fit.
>> Any taps required can be brought out anywhere in the winding through the
layers.
8. 8
Construction of a distribution transformer
Assembly of cores and windings to build an active part may be
carried out in either of the following two ways:
If the windings have been wound on a mandrel, the E-shaped cores and the wind-ings
are transported from their various construction locations to the assembly area
where the windings are pushed over the core legs. The magnetic circuit is then
completed by interleaving the laminations of the upper yoke with the laminations of
the core legs.
If the windings have been wound directly onto the core legs (typically the range
<1000kVA), the three core legs are positioned on a tilting table. The upper and
lower yokes are then fitted highly accurately in the same way as described above.
Active part
9. 9
Bushings are mounted on the cover, which is then fixed onto the assembled active
part. The next step consists of connecting the windings to the bushings. The con-nection
methods are durable and selected so as to ensure a solid, low-resistance
connection between the linked conducting materials.
Transformers are often fitted with an off-circuit tap changer. This switch allows the
increase or decrease of a certain number of turns while the transformer is discon-nected
from the circuit. Small variations in the supply voltage can be compensated
by adjusting the tap changer to keep the output voltage at the required value.
The off-circuit tap changer is always fitted on the high voltage side of the trans-former,
since this is where the current is smallest. A second tap change switch is
incorporated in transformers with dual high voltages in order to change the high
voltage. Tap changers and tap switches are controlled either by cable or by a drive
shaft.
The voltage ratio of the active part is then tested, and the assembly is dried for a
specified time in an oven to remove the moisture from the insulating materials. This
time depends on the quantity of insulating materials, which in turn depends on the
transformer’s rating and voltages.
10. 10
Construction
The vast majority of distribution transformer tanks are constructed with cooling
fins. As with radiators, the purpose of cooling fins is to increase the available con-tact
surface for the cooling air. However, in hermetically sealed designs the cooling
fin design also enables a degree of flexibility which is needed to accommodate the
expansion and contraction of the liquid as it heats and cools, due to load and ambi-ent
temperature. This allows the tank to be totally filled (and hermetically sealed),
with the clear benefit of prolonging the transformer’s service life expectancy and
reducing maintenance.
In certain cases, e.g. small ratings or severe dimensional limitations, the fins
become so small that they are no longer flexible enough, necessitating the use of a
gas cushion to allow the expansion of the liquid. This gas cushion keeps the inter-nal
pressure within the acceptable limits permitted by tank flexibility. Occasionally,
some customers specify that a conservator must be fitted on top of the transformer
tank to act as an expansion tank for the cooling liquid. The conservator is often
fitted with a gauge glass, an air vent and an air dryer in an effort to ensure that
only dry air can come into contact with the cooling liquid, and only at atmospheric
pressure. If the air dryer is not properly maintained, it can lose its effectiveness and
allow damp air to come in contact with the cooling liquid.
Functions of the transformer tank:
>> It forms a container for the cooling liquid.
>> It acts as a heat exchange surface for the dissipation of heat losses.
>> It is a protective, earthed safety shell.
>> It provides shielding against electromagnetic field leakage caused by
current-carrying conductors.
The tank Construction of a distribution transformer
11. 11
Hermetically sealed transformers offer indisputable advantages
compared with transformers fitted with a conservator, including:
>> The insulating liquid cannot come into contact with the air, thus guaranteeing
preservation of its dielectric integrity.
>> Reduced maintenance, e.g. no checking required of the air dryer, no need to
monitor the liquid for water ingress, etc.
>> They are cheaper to buy.
>> They occupy a smaller space, leaving more room for connections in compact
installations.
>> The protection equipment is often simpler than that fitted on transformers with a
conservator.
The construction of these finned tanks is rather simple. The bottom, top frame,
corrugated fin wall panels and plain wall panels are mounted on rotating welding
tables and welded together. The ingenuity of our designers, the skill and craftsman-ship
of experienced welders, the robustness of the materials we use, individual leak
tests during production and fatigue tests on typical designs all combine to ensure
the long-term leak-free quality of our tanks.
Cooling
Heat is generated inside a transformer by the effects described by Joule’s law,
hysteresis losses and eddy currents. This causes a rise in the temperature of the
windings and core. The temperature will reach equilibrium when the quantity of
generated heat is equal to the quantity of removed heat.
Cooling is optimized in accordance with the maximum permissible temperature of
the insulation system and the total quantity of heat to be dissipated, which depends
on the transformer’s loss level
12. 12
Surface treatment and painting
After welding, the tank is shot-blasted to remove any surface impurities, leaving a
clean prepared surface for maximum adhesion of the paint coating. Air-drying paint
is then applied by spraying or flooding. An alternative painting technique is electro-static
powder coating, which is used for tank covers and cable boxes and also for
complete tanks in some of the CG-factories. Where powder coating is employed,
further chemical processes are needed before the powder coating is applied.
Several coats of paint are applied to a total thickness which guarantees adequate
protection against corrosion for the pollution class of the locations where the trans-former
is installed. Tanks may be hot dip galvanised if requested by the customer.
Standard colours are RAL 7033 (green) or RAL (blue) for the Bio-SLIM® line.

State-of-the-art painting line
A state-of-the-art painting line, incorporating zinc phosphating, electrically applied
liquid paint and powder coating has been installed in the Irish factory. This system
is one of the most up-to-date developments in the field of finishing and the qual-ity
obtained is comparable with that required by today’s automotive industry for
modern car bodies. Tests by independent laboratories have shown that transformer
tanks treated in this way withstand more than 2,000 hours hot salt spray scribed
test carried out in accordance with the relevant international standards.
Standard tanks are equipped with:
>> securing lugs on the top frame of the tank to secure the transformer
during transport
>> lifting lugs on the cover to lift the complete transformer and/or the active part
>> underbase welded to the bottom of the tank with bi-directional rollers
(roller base)
>> filling hole on the cover (can also be used to mount an overpressure valve)
>> earthing terminals on tank cover and underbase or tank bottom
>> thermometer pocket welded to the tank cover and filled with cooling liquid
>> drain valve at the bottom of the tank (can also be used to take oil samples)
This standard package can be expanded to include other monitoring and protection
instruments.
14. 14
Mounting the active part in the tank
Once the active part has been oven-dried, it is given a final comprehensive quality
inspection before being tanked. The top cover is then either bolted or welded onto
the tank frame, in agreement with the customer. Both sealing methods are equally
effective and performing. For silicone filled units we advise welded lids while for
other liquids we have no preference.
Filling
The transformers are placed in a vacuum chamber and filled with pre-treated
liquid (filtered, dried and degassed) under deep vacuum. This ensures optimum
impregnation of the insulation materials by the cooling liquid, giving the insulation
structure maximum dielectric strength. Most transformers are filled with a high
quality mineral oil which complies fully with the requirements of IEC standard
60296. In some cases, transformers are filled with silicone liquid (complying with
IEC 60836) or synthetic organic esters (complying with IEC 61099). The liquid acts
both as a coolant and as an insulating medium.
Finishing operations and testing Construction of a distribution transformer
15. 15
Testing
In the test bay, each transformer is subjected to a number of routine measurements
and tests.
Fitting of protection equipment
Once routine testing is completed, the protection instruments and other acces-sories
are mounted and the transformer is subjected to a final global inspection.
Subsequently, the rating plate is fitted to the tank.
The transformer is then ready for packing and transportation.
Packing and transport
For transport by road, timbers are attached to the U-shaped profiles of the roller
base or skid, thus enabling the transformer to be secured to the load floor of the
truck. A similar procedure is followed for container transport. When specifically
requested by the customer, and mainly for transport by sea, the transformers are
placed in strong wooden crates or boxes.
Routine measurements and tests
>> Measurement of voltage ratios.
>> Vector group test.
>> Measurement of high voltage and low voltage winding resistances.
>> Dielectric test of high voltage and low voltage winding(s) (1 minute
at rated withstand voltage and nominal frequency). This test is also
known as the “applied overvoltage test” and is intended to check the

In addition to standard transformer types for distribution applications, CG Power
Systems also builds special transformers for industrial applications. These non-standard
types in electrical and/or mechanical characteristics, are the result of
extensive product development based on constant monitoring and evaluation of
changing customer needs in the various market segments. In some cases, special
customer requirements have also led to the development of a new product with its
own characteristics.

Despite the fact that transformers are highly efficient electrical devices (>99%),
inevitably some energy is lost during their long service life. This energy loss arises
from the sum of no-load losses and load losses. These losses convert to heat
which has to be removed during operation.
No-load losses (P0), also called iron losses (PFe)
No-load losses occur in the core material due to hysteresis and eddy currents,
and are present almost continuously while the transformer is connected to the
electricity supply (i.e. 8,760 hours per year). The hysteresis losses are proportional
to the frequency and the induction. Eddy current losses are also proportional to the
frequency and the amplitude of induction but mainly also to the thickness of the
magnetic steel.
Load losses (PK), also called copper losses (PCu)
Load losses occur in the windings, the connecting conductors and the tank. They
are caused by the effects of Joule’s law (Ohmic losses), eddy currents and flux
leakages. Ohmic losses are equal to the product of the square of the current and
the resistance of the conductor. These losses are proportional to the square of the
load. In general lower losses always involve the use of a larger quantity of material
and/or higher-cost materials, thus raising the price of the transformer. However,
its energy consumption, and therefore running costs, will be lower. In order to
make an economically valid comparison of transformers with different loss levels,
a value reflecting the cost of the energy losses has to be introduced. This value,
expressed in monetary units per watt, allows financial evaluation of the losses and
is called “capitalization value”. The capitalization values for no-load losses (CP0)
are considerably higher than those for load losses (CPk), which is logical because
no-load losses occur continuously.
Economic choice of transformers
19. 19
The Total Owning Cost (T.O.C.) of a transformer may be
expressed by the following formula:
T.O.C. = purchase price + (P0*CP0) + (Pk*CPk)
Installation and maintenance costs may need to be added to this formula. Of course
the transformer with the lowest T.O.C. is the best economic choice in the long term.
When a customer’s price inquiry gives capitalization values, the optimum level of
losses is calculated in the design department using specially developed software.
Thus it is often economically justifiable to replace older transformers with high loss
levels by the new generation of low-loss transformers, since their lower losses en-sure
a significant return on investment after only a few years. If the no-load energy
losses are capitalized at a very high level, then amorphous metal core transformers
become an attractive alternative. The no-load losses of this type of transformer
are some 75% lower than those of an equivalent transformer with a conventional
magnetic steel core.
Total Owning Cost (T.O.C.) = purchase price + (P0*CP0) + (Pk*CPk)
T.O.C. = Total Owning Cost
P0 = guaranteed no-load losses (Watt)
Pk = guaranteed load losses (Watt)
CP0 = capitalization value for no-load losses stated by the customer (euro/Watt)
CPk = capitalization value for load losses stated by the customer (euro/Watt)
This table clearly illustrates that the lowest purchase price does not necessarily
reflect the best economic alternative.

Transformers and the environment
A growing importance is attached to the negative aspects of technology on people
and the environment in modern society. The potentially disturbing or hazardous
aspects of transformers include:
>> Noise pollution.
>> Land pollution, due to escaping oil in case of leaks.
>> The use of PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) in cooling liquids.
>> Electromagnetic fields: the effects of such fields on humans, animals and instru-ments
are not yet fully understood.
>> Energy losses in transformers. This energy also has to be generated somewhere
and this generation process has its own consequences, including a rise in emis-sions
of harmful combustion gases.
>> Visual pollution to the environment caused by the siting of transformers and
substations without due consideration to the impact on the landscape.
>> Safety of people and environment
21. 21
Low-noise transformers
In many countries, there are strict limits on the noise levels which may be gener-ated
by transformers in both urban and rural locations. The primary source of the
noise produced is the alternating magnetization of the core steel, while the current
carrying windings contribute only a very limited amount in distribution transform-ers.
CG Power Systems uses a variety of techniques to limit noise levels drastically, the
most important being to reduce the induction in the core, producing an appropriate
core shape (e.g. the step-lap method), a special clamping construction and the use
of low-resonance tanks, etc. This enables CG Power Systems to build transformers
with extremely low noise levels, down to within what we refer to as “whispering
level”. The building of 630kVAs with noise levels below 30 dB(A) sound pressure
at 1 m is an illustration of this. CG Power Systems has also carried out pioneering
work in the field of measurement of transformer-generated noise which lead to the
official recognition of the noise intensity method in IEC 60076-10.
The sound intensity method allows more accurate measurement by eliminat-ing
disturbances due to the near-field effect and other nearby sources, and also
enables the noise generated by the transformer to be measured when the ambient
noise level is far in excess of the transformer noise. This clearly makes the noise
measurement and evaluation process much simpler, while also allowing frequency
analysis.

Land pollution: the importance of leakproof tanks and environ-mentally
sound coolants
An escape of coolant from the tank can cause land pollution and possibly lead to
the danger of fire when a spark or flame is present at the same time. The “Water
Hazard Classification” of a liquid by the German Federal department of the environ-ment
(Umweltbundesamt) provides a measure of the threat posed by the liquid to
underground and surface water.
This classification is based on the biodegradability of the liquid. Most mineral
oils and all silicone liquids are in category WGK 1 or 2, while esters are fully
biodegradable and classified as “non-hazardous to water“ (“nwg”, previously WGK
0). This class is normally specified only when the transformer is to be located in
the vicinity of a water extraction area. But fire regulations and fire insurance policy
conditions often also lead to the choice of these coolants. Their higher flash points
and ignition temperatures (classified as K3 according to IEC 61100) enable the
transformer to be operated without excessively stringent stipulations in respect
of sprinkler installations or drip pans to catch leakages, thus yielding significant
reductions in installation costs.
CG Power Systems also operates a consistent, stringent PCB (polychlorinated
biphenyl) monitoring policy: the test certificate delivered with each transformer
certifies that its PCB content is lower than the detection limit of 1 ppm (part per
million). Oil deliveries or transformers returned for overhaul or servicing are never
accepted before an oil sample analysis has provided conclusive proof that the
liquid is PCB-free.
Recyclable materials
One of the central themes of the CG Power Systems corporate policy is the quest to
reduce raw material consumption to a minimum. Waste materials from the produc-tion
process are collected and carefully sorted for sale as scrap for recycling.
A similar policy is followed by the specialist companies breaking old transform-ers
for scrap. Today’s CG Power Systems transformers are designed to facilitate
the highest possible degree of recycling. Over 90% of the materials used can be
recovered by simple procedures. Special attention is paid to environmental impact
even in the choice of the smallest components.
Transformers and the environment

Electromagnetic compatibility
All current-carrying conductors and machines create an electromagnetic field which
can have an interfering effect on sensitive (e.g. electronic) equipment. Therefore all
such products must be made with the highest possible electromagnetic compatibil-ity
(EMC): they may not produce a disruptive field or be affected by other fields in
their vicinity. CG Power Systems liquid-filled transformers are ideal in this respect:
their earthed tank acts as a natural electromagnetic screen, reducing the effect of
external fields to negligible values.
Optimized use of raw materials and of primary energy sources
Extensive optimization has enabled CG Power Systems to succeed in building very
compact and low loss transformers. Today’s 1,000 kVA model is the size of the 630
kVA transformer of just a few years ago, for example. This optimization and ration-alization
have simultaneously yielded significant savings in raw materials (copper,
aluminium, magnetic steel, metal, etc.) and coolants.
CG Power Systems also contributes to a cleaner and safer environment by offering
low-loss transformers which require lower consumption of primary energy sources
(coal, gas and oil), thus reducing emissions of the harmful combustion gases
which cause phenomena such as acid rain and depletion of the atmospheric ozone
layer.
SLIM® and Bio-SLIM®: the nec-plus-ultra
Since 2001, CG Power Systems offers transformers with the SLIM® and Bio-SLIM®
line. Thanks to the use of K3 class liquids and homogeneous insulation as per IEC
60076-14 based on the DuPont high temperature NOMEX® insulation systems,
these transformers are very compact and offer low noise and low loss in combina-tion
with high fire safety, bio-friendliness and increased reliability. The compact-ness
also represents a reduced use of materials and ECO-footprint.
This type of transformers is very popular in market segments where space is
limited and safety is a priority (wind turbines, buildings, tunnels, subway, ….).
24. 24
Design
Design specifications and standards
CG Power Systems transformers are designed to meet the most recent national
and international standards such as IEC, ANSI/IEEE, CEN/CENELEC, BS, DIN/VDE,
NEMA and CSA, etc. The R&D department is responsible for managing and updat-ing
the internal standards database. Engineers from this department also play an
active role in international standards committees and working groups, where they
are able to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in technical standards.
CG Power Systems has designed standard transformer models for a large number
of markets, each fully meeting the local requirements. Other transformers are built
to the individual specifications of customers such as electricity utilities, large
contractors and heavy industrial companies. Another group of transformers, mainly
in the renewable sector, are tailor-made to meet the customer’s specific require-ments
and needs.
This approach has enabled CG Power Systems to achieve a high degree of automa-tion
in the design and construction areas, leading directly to an ability to offer
attractive prices and fast delivery. The high level of customer satisfaction and the
numerous accreditations achieved after stringent approval procedures illustrate the
success of the CG Power Systems product development strategy.
25. 25
The complex chain of processes, from initial offer through to final delivery, is
managed by the logistics department. In view of the strongly international character
of the CG Power Systems Group’s business, this requires flawless organization and
extensive experience.
Quality logistics management produces fast delivery times, punctual and complete
delivery, and correct and rapid handling of administrative procedures. Careful
construction of the Group’s computer network and information systems has built a
superbly efficient information flow system connecting all the various departments
of the CG Power Systems organization. The group operates a Just-In-Time material
flow system, optimized using specialized computer software, automated warehous-ing
systems and firm contracts with accredited suppliers.
CG Power Systems supplies transformers to customers in over 135 countries
around the world. This requires the assistance of specialist transporters with wide
experience in multi-mode transportation. In addition to the complexities specific
to long-distance destinations, complicated logistical problems can arise when
transformers have to be installed in locations where access is difficult.
Logistics
26. 26
Quality assurance certified to ISO 9001 and
based on self-assessment
All non-conformities found during the complete process are documented and a root
cause analysis is carried out.
Since end of 2010 FMEA evaluation has been introduced as part of the quality risk
assessment, and this for design, production and product. This commitment to
quality runs throughout the company: R&D, Design, Production, Quality Control,
Logistics and Administrative Services. Additionally the Human Resources depart-ment
maintains an ongoing programme of quality consciousness and quality
enhancement training for all the company’s employees.
Operating a certified quality system to ISO 9001 standards is merely a precondition
for achieving consistent quality. Within the CG Power Systems organization, quality
control is carried out at each design and production phase through a self-assess-ment
system.
Each workstation has a description of the tasks to be carried out and the accompa-nying
quality control procedures. A component is passed on to the next worksta-tion
only after the worker concerned has carried out the specified quality control
procedures and approved the component. Any material or component failing a
quality test is rejected immediately.
Thus each worker checks his/her own production and regards the next workstation
as his/her customer. The quality department monitors all quality control documents
and carries out additional inspections at strategic points in the production process.
This allows immediate action to be taken and any modifications to be made as
required.
Materials purchased from approved suppliers are subject to goods inwards check-ing
which can vary from simple identification to comprehensive testing in the
physical chemistry laboratory. All raw material and component suppliers must meet
ISO standards.
