TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

3.5 FUNDAMENTAL TRACTION
Traction is defined as a physicalprocess in which a tangential force is transmitted across
an interface between two bodies through dry friction or an intervening fluid film
resulting in motion, stoppage or the transmission of power.
The units of traction are those of force, or if expressed as a coefficient of traction (as
with coefficient of friction) a ratio.
The traction produced by a vehicle if expressed as a force is synonymous with tractive
effort, or tractive force, and closely related to the term drawbar pull.

LOCOMOTIVES
24. Prabjeet Singh Page 24
DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE: Diesel-electric locomotives were introduced in the United States
in 1924, and have become the most widely used type of locomotive. The modern diesel-
electric locomotive is a self-contained, electrically propelled unit. Like the electric
locomotive, it has electric drive, in the form of traction motors driving the axles and
controlled with electronic controls. It also has many of the same auxiliary systems for
cooling, lighting, heating, and braking. It differs principally in that it has its own
generating station instead of being connected to a remote generating station through
overhead wires or a third rail. The generating station consists of a large diesel
engine coupled to an alternator or generator that provides the power for the traction
motors.
ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE: An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity
from an external source. Sources include overhead lines, third rail, or an on-board
electricity storage device such as a battery, flywheel system, or fuel cell. Electric
locomotive receives currentfromoverhead line through pantograph. This high voltage is
step down in case of single phase 25 KV supply and then fed through control and
stabilizing circuit to the motors. In case of DC supply, it is fed to motor through control
equipment.
MULTIPLE UNITS: The term multiple unit or MU is used to describe a self-propelling
train unit capable of coupling with other units of the same or similar type and still being
controlled fromone cab. The term is commonly used to denote passenger train sets that
consist of more than one carriage, but single self- propelling carriages, or rail cars, can
be referred to as multiple units if capable of operating with other units.
Multiple units are of three main types:
Electric Multiple Units (EMU’s)
Diesel Multiple Units (DMU’s)
25. Prabjeet Singh Page 25
Diesel Electric Multiple Units (DEMU’s)
Most MUs are powered either by a diesel engine driving the wheels through a gearbox or
hydraulic transmission (DMU’s),or by traction motors, receiving their power through a live rail
or overhead wire (EMU).
3.6 TXM STATOR MACHINE SHOP
The stator is the stationary part of the motor which consist of:
The outer cylindrical frame of the motor, which is made either of welded sheet steel,
cast iron or cast aluminium alloy. This may include feet or a flange for mounting.
The magnetic path, which comprises a set of slotted steel laminations pressed into a
cylindrical space inside the outer frame. The magnetic path is laminated to reduce eddy
currents, lower losses and lower heating.
A set of insulated electrical windings, which are placed in inside the slot of the
laminated magnetic path. The cross sectional area of these windings must be large
enough for the power rating of the motor. For a three phase motor, 3 sets of winding
are required, one for each phase.

This is the rotating part of the motor. As with the stator above, the rotor consistof the set of
slotted steel lamination pressed together in the formof a cylindrical magnetic path and the
electrical circuit. The electrical circuit of the rotor can be either:
Wound rotor type, which comprises 3 set of insulated windings with connection
broughtout to 3 slip rings mounted on the shaft. The external connections to the
rotating part are made via brushes onto the slip rings. Consequently, this type of motor
is often referred to as a slip ring motor.

Squirrel cage rotor type, which comprises a set of copper or aluminium bars installed
into the slots, which are connected to an end ring at each end of the rotor. The
construction of these rotor windings resembles a ‘squirrelcage’. Aluminium rotor bars
are usually die-cast into the rotor slots, which results in a very rugged construction. Even
though the aluminium rotor bars arein direct contact with the steel laminations,
practically all the rotor current flows through the aluminium bars and not in the
laminations.
3.7 TXM COMMUTATOR AND CORE
A commutator is a moving part of a rotary electrical switch in certain types of electric motors
and electrical generators that periodically reverses the currentdirection between the rotor
and the external circuit. Itconsists of a cylinder composed of multiple metal contact segments
on the rotating armature of the machine. Two or more electrical contacts called "brushes"
made of a softconductive material like carbon press againstthe commutator, making sliding
contact with successivesegments of the commutator as it rotates. The windings (coils of wire)
on the armature are connected to the commutator segments.
Commutators are used in direct current(DC) machines: dynamos (DCgenerators) and many
DC motors as well as universalmotors. In a motor the commutator applies electric currentto
the windings. By reversing the currentdirection in the rotating windings each half turn, a
steady rotating force (torque) is produced. In a generator the commutator picks off the
currentgenerated in the windings, reversing the direction of the current with each half turn,
serving as a mechanical rectifier to convertthe alternating current fromthe windings to
unidirectional direct currentin the external load circuit. The firstdirect currentcommutator-
type machine, the dynamo, was built by Hippolyte Pixii in 1832, based on a suggestion by
André-MarieAmpère.
Commutators are relatively inefficient, and also require periodic maintenance such as brush
replacement. Therefore, commutated machines are declining in use, being replaced by
alternating current (AC) machines, and in recent years by brushless DCmotors which use
semiconductor switches.
PRINCIPLEOF MACHINES: A commutator consists of a set of contact bars fixed to the rotating
shaftof a machine, and connected to the armaturewindings. As the shaftrotates, the
commutator reverses the flow of current in a winding. For a single armaturewinding, when
the shafthas made one-half complete turn, the winding is now connected so that current
28. Prabjeet Singh Page 28
flows through it in the opposite of the initial direction. In a motor, the armaturecurrentcauses
the fixed magnetic field to exert a rotational force, or a torque, on the winding to make it turn.
In a generator, the mechanical torque applied to the shaftmaintains the motion of the
armaturewinding through the stationary magnetic field, inducing a currentin the winding. In
both the motor and generator case, the commutator periodically reverses thedirection of
currentflow through the winding so that currentflow in the circuit external to the machine
continues in only one direction.
RING/SEGMENT CONSTRUCTION: A commutator consists of a set of copper segments, fixed
around the partof the circumferenceof the rotating machine, or the rotor, and a set of spring-
loaded brushes fixed to the stationary frameof the machine. Two or more fixed brushes
connect to the external circuit, either a sourceof currentfor a motor or a load for a generator.
Commutator segments are connected to the coils of the armature, with the number of coils
(and commutator segments) depending on the speed and voltage of the machine. Large
motors may have hundreds of segments. Each conducting segment of the commutator is
insulated fromadjacent segments. Mica was used on early machines and is still used on large
machines. Many other insulating materials are used to insulate smaller machines; plastics
allow quick manufacture of an insulator, for example. The segments are held onto the shaft
using a dovetail shapeon the edges or undersideof each segment. Insulating wedges around
the perimeter of each segment are pressed so that the commutator maintains its mechanical
stability throughoutits normal operating range. Commutator is used to collect currentfrom
armatureconductor.
In small appliance and tool motors the segments are typically crimped permanently in place
and cannot be removed. When the motor fails it is discarded and replaced. On large industrial
machines (say, fromseveralkilowatts to thousands of kilowatts in rating) it is economical to
replace individual damaged segments, and so the end-wedgecan be unscrewed and individual
segments removed and replaced. Replacing the copper and mica segments is commonly
referred to as "refilling". Refillable dovetailed commutators are the most common
construction of larger industrial type commutators, butrefillable commutators may also be
constructed using external bands made of fiberglass (glass banded construction) or forged
steel rings (external steel shrink ring type construction and internal steel shrink ring type
construction). Disposable, molded type commutators commonly found in smaller DC motors
are becoming increasingly more common in larger electric motors. Molded type commutators
are not repairable and mustbe replaced if damaged. In addition to the commonly used heat,
29. Prabjeet Singh Page 29
torque, and tonnage methods of seasoning commutators, somehigh performance
commutator applications require a more expensive, specific "spin seasoning" process or over-
speed spin-testing to guarantee stability of the individual segments and preventpremature
wear of the carbon brushes. Such requirements are common with traction, military,
aerospace, nuclear, mining, and high speed applications where prematurefailure can lead to
serious negative consequences.
Friction between the segments and the brushes eventually causes wear to both surfaces.
Carbon brushes, being made of a softer material, wear faster and may be designed to be
replaced easily without dismantling the machine. Older copper brushes caused morewear to
the commutator, causing deep grooving and notching of the surfaceover time. The
commutator on small motors (say, less than a kilowatt rating) is not designed to be repaired
through the life of the device. On large industrial equipment, the commutator may be re-
surfaced with abrasives, or the rotor may be removed fromthe frame, mounted in a large
metal lathe , and the commutator resurfaced by cutting it down to a smaller diameter. The
largest of equipment can include a lathe turning attachment directly over the commutator.
Figure 4: Cross sectional view of commutator
The rotating part of the d.c machine is called the armature. The armatureconsists of shaft
upon which a laminated cylinder called armature core, is mounted. The armaturecore has
grooves or slots on its outer surface. The lamination are insulated from each other and tightly
clamped together. In small machine the lamination are keyed directly to the shaft. In large
machine they are mounted on a spider. The purposeof the lamination is to reduce eddy
currentloss.
The insulated conductors are put in the slots of the armature core. The conductors arewedged
and bands of steel wire are fastened around the core to prevent them flying under the
30. Prabjeet Singh Page 30
centrifugal forces. The conductors aresuitably connected. This connected arrangementis
called armaturewinding.
Figure 5: Armature of motor
3.8 TXM WINDING
Windings are the wires that are laid in coils, usually wrapped around a laminated softiron
magnetic core so as to form magnetic poles when energized with current.
Electric machines come in two basic magnet field pole configuration: salient pole machine and
non salient pole machine. In the salient pole machine the poles magnetic field is produced by a
winding wound around the pole below the pole face. In the non salient pole, or distributed
field or round rotor motor the winding is distributed in pole face slots. A shaded pole motor
has a winding around part of the pole that delays the phaseof the magnetic field for that pole.
Some motors haveconductors which consistof thicker metal, such as bars or sheet of metal,
usually copper, although sometimes aluminium is also used. These arepowered by
electromagnetic induction.
Armaturecoils can be connected to the commutator to formeither Lap or Wave winding.
LAP WINDING: The ends of the armature coil are connected to the adjacent segments on the
commutator so that the total number of parallel paths is equal to the total numbers of poles.
That is, for LAP WINDING A=P. This winding is necessarily required for large current
applications as it has more number of parallel paths. This may be remembered by the letters A
and P in LAP. The disadvantageof lap winding is that it gives less emf as compared to wave
winding. This winding requires more number of conductors for giving the same emf, it results
in high winding cost.
WAVEWINDING: the ends of each armaturecoil are connected to commutator segments
some distanceapart, so that only two parallel paths are provided between the positive and
the negative brushes. Thatis, for WAVEWINDING A=2.
31. Prabjeet Singh Page 31
In general lap winding is used in low voltage, high current machines, and the wave
winding is used in high voltage, low current machines.
WINDING MATERIAL: Coils are typically wound with enameled copper wire, sometimes termed
magnet wire. The winding material must havea low resistance, to reduce the power
consumed by the field coil, but more importantly to reducethe wasteheat produced by ohmic
heating. Excess heat in the windings is a common causeof failure. Owing to the increasing cost
of copper, aluminium windings are increasingly used. An even better material than copper,
except for its high cost, would be silver as this has even lower resistivity. Silver has been used
in rare cases.

3.9 TXM FIELDING
A field coil is an electromagnet used to generate a magnetic field in an electro-magnetic
machine, typically a rotating electrical machine such as a motor or generator. Itconsists of a
coil of wire through which a currentflows.
In a rotating machine, the field coils are wound on an iron magnetic core which guides the
magnetic field lines. The magnetic core is in two parts; a stator which is stationary, and a rotor,
which rotates within it. The magnetic field lines pass in a continuous loop or magnetic circuit
fromthe stator through the rotor and back through the stator again. The field coils may be on
the stator or on the rotor.
The magnetic path is characterized by poles, locations at equal angles around the rotor at
which the magnetic field lines pass fromstator to rotor or vice versa. Thestator (and rotor) is
classified by the number of poles they have. Mostarrangements use one field coil per pole.
Some older or simpler arrangements usea single field coil with a pole at each end.
Although field coils are most commonly found in rotating machines, they are also used,
although not always with the same terminology, in many other electromagnetic machines.
These include simple electromagnets through to complex lab instruments such as mass
spectrometers and NMR machines. Field coils were once widely used in loudspeakers before
the general availability of lightweight permanent magnets.
The magnetic field systemis the stationary partof the machine. It produces the main flux. The
outer frame or yokeis a hollow cylinder of cast steel or rolled steel. And even number of pole
cores is bolted to the yoke. The yokeserves the following two purposes:
Itsupports the pole cores and acts as the protective cover to the machine.
Itforms a part of the magnetic circuit.
Since the poles projected inwards they are called salient poles. Each pole core has a pole shoe
having a curved surface. The pole shoeserves two purposes:
Itsupports the field coils.
Itincreases the cross sectionalarea of the magnetic circuit and reduces its reluctance.
The pole cores are made of sheet steel laminations that are insulated fromeach other and
riveted together. The poles are laminated to reduce eddy currentloss.
33. Prabjeet Singh Page 33
Each pole core has one or more field coils (windings) placed over it to producea magnetic
field. The field coils are connected in series with one other such that when the current flows
through the coils, alternate north and south poles are produced in the direction of rotation.
3.10 TXM ASSEMBLY
Currentis collected fromthe armaturewinding by means of two or more carbon brushes
mounted on the commutator. Each brush is supported in a metal box called a brush box or
brush holder. Thepressureexerted by the brushes on the commutator can be adjusted and is
maintained at a constant value by means of springs. Current produced in the armature
windings is passed on the commutator and then to the external circuit by means of brushes.
34. Prabjeet Singh Page 34
BRUSH CONSTRUCTION: Early machines used brushes madefromstrands of copper wireto
contact the surfaceof the commutator. However, thesehard metal brushes tended to scratch
and groovethe smooth commutator segments, eventually requiring resurfacing of the
commutator. As the copper brushes woreaway, the dustand pieces of the brush could wedge
between commutator segments, shorting them and reducing the efficiency of the device. Fine
copper wire mesh or gauze provided better surfacecontact with less segment wear, but gauze
brushes weremore expensivethan strip or wire copper brushes.
Modern rotating machines with commutators almostexclusively use carbon brushes, which
may havecopper powder mixed in to improveconductivity. Metallic copper brushes can be
found in toy or very small motors, such as the one illustrated above, and somemotors which
only operate very intermittently, such as automotive starter motors.
Motors and generators suffer froma phenomenon known as 'armaturereaction', one of the
effects of which is to change the position at which the current reversalthrough the windings
should ideally take place as the loading varies. Early machines had the brushes mounted on a
ring that was provided with a handle. During operation, it was necessary to adjustthe position
of the brush ring to adjustthe commutation to minimize the sparking atthe brushes. This
process was known as 'rocking the brushes'.
Various developments took place to automate the process of adjusting the commutation and
minimizing the sparking atthe brushes. Oneof these was the development of 'high resistance
brushes', or brushes madefroma mixture of copper powder and carbon. Although described
as high resistance brushes, theresistanceof such a brush was of the order of milliohms, the
exact value dependent on the sizeand function of the machine. Also, the high resistance brush
was not constructed like a brush but in the formof a carbon block with a curved face to match
the shapeof the commutator.
The high resistanceor carbon brush is made large enough that it is significantly wider than the
insulating segment that it spans (and on large machines may often span two insulating
segments). The result of this is that as the commutator segment passes fromunder the brush,
the currentpassing to it ramps down more smoothly than had been the casewith pure copper
brushes wherethe contact brokesuddenly. Similarly the segment coming into contact with the
brush has a similar ramping up of the current. Thus, although the current passing through the
brush was moreor less constant, the instantaneous currentpassing to the two commutator
segments was proportionalto the relative area in contact with the brush.
35. Prabjeet Singh Page 35
The introduction of the carbon brush had convenient side effects. Carbon brushes tend to
wear more evenly than copper brushes, and the soft carbon causes far less damage to the
commutator segments. There is less sparking with carbon as compared to copper, and as the
carbon wears away, the higher resistanceof carbon results in fewer problems fromthe dust
collecting on the commutator segments.
The ratio of copper to carbon can be changed for a particular purpose. Brushes with higher
copper content performbetter with very low voltages and high current, while brushes with
higher carbon content are better for high voltage and low current. High copper content
brushes typically carry 150 to 200 amperes per squareinch of contact surface, while higher
carbon content only carries 40 to 70 amperes per squareinch. The higher resistanceof carbon
also results in a greater voltage drop of 0.8 to 1.0 volts per contact, or 1.6 to 2.0 volts across
the commutator.
BRUSH HOLDERS: A spring is typically used with the brush, to maintain constantcontact with
the commutator. As the brush and commutator wear down, the spring steadily pushes the
brush downwardstowards thecommutator. Eventually the brush wears smalland thin enough
that steady contact is no longer possible or it is no longer securely held in the brush holder,
and so the brush mustbe replaced.
Itis common for a flexible power cable to be directly attached to the brush, becausecurrent
flowing through the supportspring would causeheating, which may lead to a loss of metal
temper and a loss of the spring tension.
When a commutated motor or generator uses morepower than a single brush is capable of
conducting, an assembly of several brush holders is mounted in parallel across the surfaceof
36. Prabjeet Singh Page 36
the very large commutator. This parallel holder distributes currentevenly across all the
brushes, and permits a careful operator to removea bad brush and replace it with a new one,
even as the machine continues to spin fully powered and under load.
High power, high current commutated equipment is now uncommon, due to the less complex
design of alternating currentgenerators that permits a low current, high voltage spinning field
coil to energize high currentfixed-position stator coils. This permits the use of very small
singular brushes in the alternator design. In this instance, the rotating contacts are continuous
rings, called slip rings, and no switching happens.
Modern devices using carbon brushes usually havea maintenance-free design that requires no
adjustmentthroughoutthe life of the device, using a fixed-position brush holder slot and a
combined brush-spring-cableassembly thatfits into the slot. The worn brush is pulled out and
a new brush inserted.
Figure 6: Brush holder
BRUSH CONTACT ANGLE: Commutator and brush assembly of a traction motor; the copper
bars can be seen with lighter insulation strips between the bars. Each dark grey carbon brush
has a shortflexible copper jumper lead attached. Parts of the motor field winding, in red, can
be seen to the right of the commutator.
The different brush types make contact with the commutator in different ways. Because
copper brushes havethe samehardness as the commutator segments, the rotor cannotbe
spun backwards againsttheends of copper brushes withoutthe copper digging into the
37. Prabjeet Singh Page 37
segments and causing severedamage. Consequently, strip/laminate copper brushes only make
tangential contact with the commutator, while copper mesh and wirebrushes usean inclined
contact angle touching their edge across the segments of a commutator that can spin in only
one direction.
The softness of carbon brushes permits direct radial end-contact with the commutator
without damage to the segments, permitting easy reversalof rotor direction, without the need
to reorient the brush holders for operation in the oppositedirection. Although never reversed,
common appliance motors that use wound rotors, commutators and brushes haveradial-
contact brushes. In thecase of a reaction-typecarbon brush holder, carbon brushes may be
reversely inclined with the commutator so that the commutator tends to push against the
carbon for firm contact.

3.11 TXM TESTING
In commutator and core area there are two type of testing’s:
Bar to bar testing: This is the testing in which shortcircuit between the copper bars of
COMMchecked. If there is any breakage in mica sheet then shortcircuit will occur.
FT testing: This testing is between COMM hub and COMM BAR. If there is any breakage
in mica sheet between COMM hub and COMM bar siren sound will heard. The process
of testing is that one end of the testing (positive) is placed on copper wiresurround
COMMbar and other end is placed at COMM hub.

CHAPTER 4: POWER TRANSFORMER MANUFACTURING
4.1 INTRODUCTION
A Transformer is static device used for transforming power fromonecircuit to another
without changing frequency.
The rangeof power transformers in B.H.E.L. covers fromlow voltage medium power
transformer to extra large power transformer of 1500 MVA bank in 765 kV class & HVDC
converter transformers of 1500 MVA banks in ± 500 kV DC . Productrangealso includes Shunt
Reactor upto 150 MVARin 400 kV class and 330 MVAR in 765 kV class.
4.2 MAIN PARTS OF TRANSFORMER
CORE: BHEL maketransformers having Coretype configuration. Coreis built up fromcold
rolled grain oriented silicon alloy steel of the best magnetic properties. CNC machine is used
for slitting; cropping / mitering operations with perfect controlun burr level. A computer
programdetermines number of steps, position of the oil ducts and the sizes of the laminations
for optimum cross section of core and yokes. In order to achieve a further reduction of iron
40. Prabjeet Singh Page 40
loss laminations are mitered and core bolts for clamping are kept to a minimum. Bolts in core
legs are completely eliminated by using resin bonded glass tape for binding or by using skin
stressed cylinder.
Magnetic circuits are of generally 3 limb construction in single phasetransformer in
which only center limb is wound and the outer limbs providereturn path for main
flux.
In three phase transformer 5 limb construction is used which has 2 vertical return
limbs and 3 main cores.
CONSTRUCTIONAL FEATURES: The type of transformer coreconstruction depends on the
technical particulars of the transformer and transport considerations. In generalit is
preferable to accommodate the windings of all the three phases in a single coreframe. Three
phasetransformers areeconomical over a bank of three single-phasetransformers. Another
important advantageof three-phasetransformer cores is that componentof the third and its
multiple harmonics of mmf cancel each other, consequently the secondary voltagewave
shapeare free from distortions dueto the third harmonics in mmf. However, if the three-
phaseratings arelarge enough and difficult to transport, one has no choice but to go for
single-phasetransformer units. For single-phaseand three-phasetransformers, thecores can
be broadly classed as:
Single-phasethree-limbed core
Single-phase two-limbed core
Three-phase three-limb core
Three-phase five-limbed core
Figure 8: Stepped core construction
41. Prabjeet Singh Page 41
(a) Single-phase Three-limbed Core
The windings are placed around the central limb, also known as main limb. The main magnetic
flux generated in the central limb gets divided into two parallel return paths provided by the
yokes and auxiliary limbs. For the same magnetic flux density as that in the main limb, the
auxiliary limbs and the yokes need to have the cross section only half of the main limb. This
type of transformer core is generally preferred for single-phase transformer, as this is more
economical than two limbed construction discussed below
(b) Single-phaseTwo-limbed core
Sometimes the single-phasepower ratings of transformers are so large that if the windings of
full power ratings were to be placed on the central limb, its width would become too largeto
be transported. To mitigate such difficulties the windings aresplit into two parts and placed
around two separatelimbs. Here the cross-sectionalarea of the legs (limbs) and the yokes are
identical. Consequently these cores are bulkier than the single phasethree-limbed
arrangements. Also the percentage leakage reactance for this type of core construction is
comparatively higher due to distributed nature of the windings in the two limbs separately.
42. Prabjeet Singh Page 42
(c)Three-phase Three-limbed cores
This type of coreis generally used for three-phasepower transformer of small and medium
power ratings. Each phaseof the winding is placed around one leg. For each phaseof magnetic
flux appearing in a limb, the yokes and the remaining two limbs providethe return path. If the
phasefluxes are denoted as ØA, ØB, ØC, their summation at any instant of time is identically
zero, which can be mathematically stated as ØA + ØB + ØC = 0. In this type of construction, all
the legs and the yokes haveidentical cross section.
(d) Three-phaseFive-limbed cores
For large rating power transformers, cores have to be built in large diameters. In case of three-
phase three-limbed cores, the yokes have the same diameter as the limbs. In case of large
diameter cores, the overall core height will go up leading to transport problem. For such cases
the yokecross-sections (and consequently yokeheights) are reduced by approximately 40% or
more and auxiliary paths for the magnetic flux are provided through auxiliary yokes and limbs.
The cross-section and the height of the auxiliary yokes and limbs are lower than that of the
main yokes.

FLOW CHART FOR CORE FORMATION:
WINDING: Windings form the electrical circuit of a transformer. Their construction should
ensure safety under normal and faulty conditions. The windings must be electrically and
mechanically strong to withstand both over-voltages under transientsurges, mechanical stress
during short circuit and should not attain temperatures beyond the limit under rated and
overload conditions. For core-type transformers, the windings are cylindrical, and are
arranged concentrically. Circular coils offer the greatest resistance to the radial component of
electromagnetic forces, since this is the shape which any coil will tend to assume under short
circuit stresses.
WINDING CONDUCTOR: The shape of the winding conductor in power transformers is usually
rectangular in order to utilize the available space effectively. Even in smaller transformers for
distribution purposes where the necessary conductor cross section easily can be obtained by
means of a small circular wire, this wire is often flattened on two sides to increase the space
factor in the core window. With increasing conductor area, the conductor must be divided into
two or more parallel conductor elements in order to reduce the eddy current losses in the
winding and ease the winding work. Strands may be insulated either by paper lapping or by an
enamel lacquer. The matter is mechanically soft. In order to withstand the short circuit forces
it is sometimes necessary to increase the strength of the material by means of a cold working.
In large power transformers the mechanical forces during short circuit current have often

45. Prabjeet Singh Page 45
more influence on the winding dimensions then thermal aspects and loss considerations.
Generally two types of conductors are used for winding.
PAPER INSULATED COPPERCONDUCTOR (PICC): In PICCs thestrands (Copper conductors) have
a lapping of paper insulation. The paper lapping is built up of thin paper strips, a few
centimeters wide, wound around and along the strand as indicated in figure. The paper is
lapped in several layers to obtain the necessary total thickness set by the electrical and
mechanical stresses.
CONTINUOUSLY TRANSPOSED COPPER CONDUCTOR: Special kind of winding conductor is the
‘Continuously Transposed Cable (CTC)’. This cable is built up of two layers of enamel lacquer
insulated strands arranged axially upon each other as shown in figure. By transposing the
outer strain of one layer to the next layer with a regular pitch and applying common outer
insulation a continuous transposed cable is achieved.
When traversing the same flux for a whole transposition cycle, all strands loops receive the
same induced voltage, and circulating currents between the strands are avoided.
Transposition of strands mustalso be made in windings with conventional conductors to avoid
circulating currents. If necessary for increased mechanical strength, the strands are covered
46. Prabjeet Singh Page 46
with the epoxy glue, which cures during processing the winding. For lower voltages a netting
around the transposed cable is used to keep the strands together. For higher voltages
insulation paper covers the cable.
DISTRIBUTED CROSS OVER WINDINGS: Thesewindings are suitable for currents not exceeding
about 20A. They comprise wires of circular cross-section and areused for HV windings in small
transformers in the distribution range. A number of such coils are joined in series, spaced with
blocks which provideinsulation as well as duct for cooling.
SPIRAL WINDING: This type of winding is normally used up to 33 kV and low current ratings.
Strip conductors are wound closely in the axial direction without any radial ducts between
turns. Spiral coils are normally wound on a Bakelite or pressboard cylinder.
Though normally the conductors are wound on the flat side, sometimes they are wound on
the edge. However, the thickness of the conductor should be sufficient compared to its width,
so that the winding remains twist-free.
HELICAL WINDING: This type of winding is used in low-voltage and high-current ratings. A
number of conductors are used in parallel to form one turn. The turns are wound in a helix
along the axial direction and each turn is separated from the next by a duct. Helical coils may
be single-layer or double layer or multi-layer, if the number of turns are more.
Unless transposed, the conductors within a coil do not have the same length and same flux
embracing and therefore have unequal impedance, resulting in eddy losses due to circulating
current between the conductors in parallel. To reduce these eddy losses, the helical windings
47. Prabjeet Singh Page 47
are provided with transposition of the conductors which equalize the impedances of the
parallel conductors.
INTERLEAVED DISCWINDING
A disadvantagewith the continuous disc winding is that their strength against impulse voltages
is not adequate for voltages above, say, 145 kV class. The impulse voltage withstand behavior
of disc coils can be increased if the turns areinterleaved in such a fashion that two adjacent
conductors belong to two different turns. Figureshows such a winding in which interleaving
has been done in each pair of discs. Itwill be noticed that it is necessary to have 2n conductors
in hand for winding when n in the number of conductors in parallel. Conductors of turns 8 and
9 are joined by brazing. A cross-over is given at the bottom of the disc.

50. Prabjeet Singh Page 50
4.3 CORE AND COIL ASSEMBLY
A part of the transformer manufacturing process, thecoreand coil assembly aspectplays a
significant role wherethe core assembly is vertically placed where the foot plate touches the
ground and the top yoke is removed. The limbs of the core are tightly wrapped with cotton
tape and then varnished during the manufacturing and even repairing process.
First, the individual windings are assembled one over the other to formthe entire phase
assembly.
The radial gaps between the windings are subdivided by means of solid transformer board
barriers.
Stress rings and angle rings areplaced on top and bottom of the windings to achieve a
contoured end insulation design for optimal controlof the oil gaps and creepage stresses.
The complete phase assemblies are then carefully lowered over the separatecore legs and
solidly packed towards the core to assureoptimal shortcircuit capability.
The top coreyoke is then repacked and the complete core and coil assembly is clamped.
The lead exits (if applicable) and the lead supports and beams are installed. All winding
connections and tap lead connections to the tap changer(s) aremade before drying the
complete core and coil assembly in the vapor phase oven.
4.4 PROCESSING OF COREAND COIL ASSEMBLY
The completed core and coil assembly is thoroughly dried to pre-determined power factor
readings by the vapor phasedrying process, providing thefastest, most efficient and most
effective drying of the transformer insulation available. The vapor phaseprocess uses the
standard kerosenecycle method. In this system, keroseneis vaporized and drawn by vacuum
into a heated autoclave where the transformer has been placed. Condensation of the vapor on
the coreand coil assembly rapidly causes the temperature to rise and allows moistureto be
drawn out of the insulation by the vacuum. High temperature and pressureareused to
accelerate the drying process.
When the power factor measurements and the removalrate of moisture have reached the
required levels, the flow of kerosenevapor is stopped and a high vacuumis used to boil off the
remaining moistureand kerosene. Because so much water is removed in this process, the
insulation physically shrinks in size. Following removal fromthe autoclave, the transformer is
repacked as required and then undergoes its final hydraulic clamping to ensuremaximum
short-circuitstrength in the finished product.
4.5 DRYING OUT PROCESS
In order to ensure power supply is completely reliable it depends on high performance
51. Prabjeet Singh Page 51
transformers and in order to achieve that the drying out process is extremely important.
Under this process, thepaper insulation and pressboard material, which make up a significant
proportion by volume of transformer winding, havethe capacity to absorb large amounts of
moisturefrom atmosphere. The presenceof this moisture brings aboutthe reduction in the
dielectric strength of the material and also an increasein its noise.
4.6 TANKFABRICATION AND FITTINGS
The tanks are made of high quality steel and can withstand vacuum and pressure test as
specified in IS as well as by the customers. All welds are checked ensuring 100 % leak proof
seems and mechanical strength. All tanks are pressure tested before tanking the active part.
The Pressed steel radiators are used to dissipate heat generated at rated load. The fin height
and length are calculated according to the rating of transformers as well as customers'
specifications. The fins can be plain or embossed. The radiators are fitted variably according to
the rating of transformer. For smaller rating radiators are directed welded to the main tank
while for higher rating detachable type radiators are provided with valves to facilitate during
transportation and handling at site.
The tanks are fabricated fromMS plates and are welded construction. They are tested at a
pressureof 0.35 Kg./Sq. cm. for oil leakage output and they are normally welded directly to
the tank. However, transformerscan be supplied with detachable radiators.

5.1 INTRODUCTION
In electrical power, a bushing is an insulated device that allows an electrical conductor to pass
safely through a (usually) earthed conducting barrier such as the wall of a transformer or a
circuit breaker. In its simplest form, a bushing consists of a central conductor embedded in a
cylindrical insulation material having a radial thickness enough to withstand the high voltage.
A bushing has to:
(a) Carry the full load current.
(b) Provide electrical insulation to the conductor for working voltage and for various over-
voltages that occur during service.
(c) Provide support against various mechanical forces.
(d) Acts as an external safety device.
5.2 CLASSIFICATION OF BUSHINGS
Bushings are classified according to the following factors:
APPLICATION OR UTILITY
(A) ALTERNATOR BUSHING: AC generators require bushings up to 33 kV, but 22 kV, is more
usual. With modern alternators, current ratings up to 20,000 Amp are required.
(B) BUSHINGS FOR SWITCHGEAR: In the switchgear, bushings are to carry the conductors
through the tank wall, and support the switch contacts.
(C) TRANSFORMER BUSHINGS: Transformers require terminal bushings for both primary and
secondary windings. In some cases, a high voltage cable is directly connected to the
transformer via an oil filled cable box. A bushing then provides the connection between the
cable box and transformer winding.
(D) WALL OR ROOF BUSHING: In recent years, many sub-stations for 132 kV and above, in
unfavorable situations have been put inside a building. For such applications wall/roof
bushings are used.
(E) LOCO BUSHINGS: These bushings are used in freight loco and AC EMU transformers for the
traction application.
NON-CONDENSER AND CONDENSER BUSHINGS
(A) NON-CONDENSER BUSHING: In its simplest form, a bushing would be a cylinder of
insulating material, porcelain, glass resin, etc. with the radial clearance and axial clearance to
suit the electric strengths. The voltage is not distributed evenly through the material, or along
its length. As the rated voltage increases, the dimensions required become so large that this
formof bushing is not a practical proposition. The concentration of stress in the insulation and
56. Prabjeet Singh Page 56
on its surfacemay give rise to partial discharge. This type of bushing is commonly used as low-
voltage bushings for large generator transformers.
(B) CONDENSER BUSHING: The condenser bushings are made by inserting very fine layers of
metallic foil into the paper during the winding process. Theinserted conductive foils produce a
capacitive effect which dissipates the electrical energy more evenly through the insulated
paper and reduces the electrical field stress between the energized conductor and any earthed
material.
5.3 BUSHING DESIGN
All materials carrying an electric charge generate an electric field. When an energized
conductor is near any material at earth potential it can cause very high field strengths to be
formed. As the strength of the electric field increases, leakage paths may develop within the
insulation. If the energy of the leakage path overcomes the dielectric strength of the
insulation, it may puncture the insulation and allow the leakage current to flow through the
shortest path through the earthed material toward the earth causing burning and arcing.
The design of bushing must involve following considerations:
(A) AIR-END CLEARANCE: The air-end clearance has to be sufficient to meet the specified over-
voltage tests. It is also determined by the creep age distance, and the proportion of it that is
protected from the rain. Having determined the air-end length, the air-end dimension of the
57. Prabjeet Singh Page 57
internal condenser can be determined. It is not necessary to grade 100%. Internal grading of
70% or less will give adequate surface grading for large bushings.
(B) OIL-END CLEARANCE: As internal breakdown unlike air flashover, is more severe,
specifications, therefore, demand an internal breakdown with a sufficient margin (about 15%)
above the air withstand value. Both power frequency, and impulse voltage withstand tests
have been used to specify this characteristic.
(C) NUMBER OF CONDENSER LAYERS: The number of partial condensers is so chosen that the
test voltage of each partial condenser should be between 10 kV to 15 kV. If more foils are
introduced, it will cause too many folds and weaken the bushing. Also, will be air introduced in
the folds, complicating the manufacture of bushing of high voltage class.
(D) LENGTH OF EARTH LAYER: The length of the earth layer of a bushing is usually determined
by the accommodation required for current-transformers, or by mounting considerations,
though in some cases it may be allowed to assume its optimum dimension in relation to the
radial dimensions. The ratio of Length of first foil (L1) and Length of nth foil (Ln) may be taken
between 3 to 4. This ratio is denoted by a.
(E) RADIAL GRADIENTS AND DIAMETERS: The radial gradient is limited for avoiding damage by
discharges at the power-frequency test voltages, whether one minute or instantaneous. If the
ratio of the earth layer diameter to that of the conductor 𝑟𝑛 𝑟𝑜⁄ is denoted by 𝛽, the stresses at
the HV end and the earth voltage end will be equal, if the product of 𝛼and 𝛽is unity. However,
it is not always possible to achieve this value. Hence 𝛼and 𝛽can vary from 0.8 to 1.2 if 𝛼, 𝛽=1,
then Ln.Dn = L1.D0
(F) EQUIPOTENTIAL LAYER POSITION: After determining the dimensions of the inner and outer
layers of the condenser, the position of the other layers can be calculate. The basis of the
design of the condenser bushing is generally equal partial capacitances, which mean equal
voltage on them and equal axial spacing between the ends of layers.
5.4 INSULATING MATERIAL
Porcelain insulation:
A basic porcelain bushing is a hollow porcelain shape that fits through a hole in a wall or metal
case, allowing a conductor to pass through its center, and connect at both ends to the other
equipments. The inside of these bushings is often filled with oil to provide additional insulation
and used up to 36 kV
58. Prabjeet Singh Page 58
Paper insulation:
The insulating material of bushing windings is usually paper-based with the following most
common types:
(A) SYNTHETIC RESIN BONDED PAPER (SRBP)
In SRBP bushings, one side of the paper is film coated with synthetic resin which is cylindrically
wound under heat and pressureinserting conducting layers at appropriate intervals. However,
use of SRBP bushings is limited to voltages around 72.5 kV
There is also the danger of thermal instability of insulation produced by the dielectric loss of
the resins. The SRBP insulation is essentially a laminate of resin and paper which is prone to
cracking. Moreover, paper itself will include air which will cause partial discharges even at low
levels of electrical stress.
(B) OIL IMPREGNATED PAPER (OIP)
OIP insulation is widely used in bushing and instrument transformers up to the highest service
voltages. In the manufacturing process, the Kraft paper tape or sheet is wound onto the
conductor. Aluminum layers are inserted in predetermined positions to build up a stress-
controlling condenser insulator. The condenser layer may be closer together, allowing higher
radial stress to be used. The bushing is fully assembled before being vacuum impregnated in
order to contain the oil.
(C) RESIN IMPREGNATED PAPER (RIP)
RIP bushings are wound in a similar manner as OIP. The raw paper insulation is then kept in a
casting tool inside an auto-clave. A strictly controlled process of heat and vacuum is used to
dry the paper prior to impregnation with epoxy resin.
5.5 CONSTRUCTIONAL DETAILS AND MAIN PARTS OF BUSHING
CORE
The core of bushing consists of a hollow or solid metallic tube, over which high grade electrical
Kraft paper is wound. For condenser cores, conducting layers of metallic foil are introduced at
predetermined diameters to make uniform distribution of electrical stress. The winding of the
condenser core is done in a dust-free chamber. The core is then processed; this comprises of
59. Prabjeet Singh Page 59
drying in a high degree of vacuum (0.005mm), and then impregnating with high quality,
filtered and de-gassed transformer oil.
PORCELAIN
Bushings for outdoor applications are fitted with hollow porcelain insulators. The OIP bushings
are provide with insulators, both at air and oil ends, thus forming an insulating envelope, and
the intervening space may be filled with an insulating liquid or another insulating medium. The
function of an insulator is to resist flash over in adverse conditions. This is determined by.
The profile of the dielectric.
The mounting arrangement of the insulator, i.e., vertical, horizontal, or inclined.
The properties of the surface, i.e., hydrophobic nature, toughness etc.
TOP CAP
This is a metallic housing for the spring pack. It serves as an in-built oil conservator to cater for
oil expansion, and has an oil level indicator. In many cases, it also serves the purpose of a
corona shield.
MOUNTING FLANGE
This is used for mounting the bushing on an earth barrier, such as a transformer tank or a wall.
It may have the provisions for following:
CT accommodation length
Rating plate giving the rating and identification details of bushing.
Test tap
Oil drain plug for sampling of oil
Air release plug
The design of the flange and top cap is such as to minimize the loss due to hysteresis and eddy
current effects. When heavy currents are being carried, this loss raises the temperature of the
flange and top cap to a noticeable extent. For heavy currents, ordinary cast iron material
cannot be used; hence non-magnetic materials such as stainless steel or aluminum are used.
TEST TAP
The test tap is provided for measurement of the power factor and capacitance of the bushing
during testing and service

e. The test tap is connected via a tapping lead to the last condenser foil of the core within the
bushing. During normal service, this tapping is electrically connected to the mounting flange
through a self-grounding arrangement.
