Description
- The present invention relates to an electrical transformer, especially a distribution transformer, with a Bushing Compartment.
- Traditionally, the bushing compartment of electrical transformers, especially distribution transformers, is arranged on the cover of the transformer tank. The tank is hermetically sealed by placing a sealing gasket between the cover, usually a flat cover, and a pot-shaped casing portion. The bushing compartment comprises electrically insulated conductors extending through an opening of the tank and having substantial vertical oriented outer terminals. Electrical connection of the terminals is easily possible with the bushing compartment arranged on the top of the tank.
- However, in cases where additional high current connections are required the available space on the cover of the tank is limiting factor. In some applications the local requirement for individual bushings and associated sealing is not available on the cover of the tank.
- In general it would be possible to arrange the bushing compartment on one of the side portions of the tank. However, electrical connectors, projecting from the side walls of the casing, are susceptible for damage and increase the shipping dimensions of the transformer.
- An example of a transformer with a bushing compartment is shown in
US 3 621 426 . - Thus, it would be desirable to provide an electrical transformer where available space for a bushing arrangement is increased without significantly increasing the shipping dimensions of the transformer.
- In accordance with the present invention there is provided an electrical transformer comprising a tank having sidewall portions, a cover and a bottom portion, whereby the cover is carrying a first bushing assembly and wherein a side portion of the tank has an opening.
The magnetic core and a winding assembly are disposed in a usual way in this tank.
A bushing compartment is attached on the side wall portion of the tank having the opening. The attachment is arranged in a way to seal the opening.
The bushing compartment itself has sidewalls, a cover and a bottom portion, whereby the bottom portion of said bushing compartment having a second opening therein for receiving a second bushing assembly.
The second bushing assembly having electrical conductor means being mounted through the second opening and having first terminals being encased and electrically connected with the winding assembly. The electrical conductor means further have second terminals remaining outside of the bottom portion of the bushing compartment. - In other words, the transformer according to the invention has a bushing assembly arranged on two levels: on a first level first bushings on the cover of the transformer, and on a second level second bushings arranged on a bottom portion of an attached bushing compartment (supplementary casing), whereby electrical terminals of the second bushings facing downwardly.
- With the attached supplementary casing lateral dimensions of the casing are slightly increased. However, opposed to that, the bottom portion of the attached bushing compartment brings the advantage of a second carrier for further electrical conductors, which are required in high current applications, like setting of proper connection group by off-load and / or off-circuit operation, selection of proper tapping of high current winding in on-load condition (
DE 102008064485 ) or off-load condition, application for external control and measurement. - It is a further advantage of the invention that it is not necessary to modify the transformer assembly process due to having flexible conductors for the inner connections and the possibility to place a large amount of electrical connections on a limited surface.
- In a preferred embodiment the covers of the tank are arranged in first plane and the bottom portion of the bushing compartment is arranged in a second plane, whereby the planes having a vertical distance to each other. Electrical terminals of the bushing assembly are arranged in niche and not exposed to be damaged and easy accessible.
- For the assembly process of the transformer it can be an advantage when the cover of the tank and the cover of the attached bushing compartment are arranged in a single top plane. The process step of mounting the sealing gasket between the cover and a pot-shaped casing portion is unchanged.
- Connecting the second terminals of the second bushing assembly can be easily accomplished when they are oriented vertically and substantially parallel to each other.
- In a preferred embodiment the second bushing assembly comprises a flat insulating part acting as a carrier for the electrical conductor means.
- In the accompanying drawing,
- Fig. 1
- is a front, side and top view of distribution transformer according to the invention;
- Fig. 2
- is a partial sectional drawing of the front and side view of
Fig 1 ; - Fig. 3
- is an enlarged view of detail "X" in
Fig. 2 . -
Fig. 1 shows a front view, a side view and a top view of a preferred embodiment of a distribution transformer 1 according to the invention. The transformer 1 has casing ortank 2 made of steel, having side wall portions 3, acover 4 and abottom portion 5. - A
first bushing assembly 6 is attached on thecover 4, having terminals 7 for primary and secondary electrical connection of the transformer 1. - A
bushing compartment 11 is welded on the side wall 3 of thetank 2. Thecover 13 of thebushing compartment 11 and thecover 4 of thetank 2 are arranged in ahorizontal plane 20 and formed integrally in one piece. Thebottom portion 14 of thebushing compartment 11 is arranged in aplane 21. There is avertical distance 22 between theplane 21 and theplane 20 of thecover 4 of thetank 2. - The
bottom portion 14 has anopening 15, adapted for receiving asecond bushing assembly 16. - With this design, the transformer according to the invention has a bushing assembly arranged in two levels: a first level in
plane 20, a second level inplane 21. The two-level construction of a bushing assembly opens the possibility for arrangement of further connection means required in high current applications.Electrical terminals 19 facing downwardly from thebottom portion 14 of thebushing assembly 11 are protected in a niche. - The
bushing assembly 16 comprises electrical conductor means 17 havingfirst terminals 18 andsecond terminals 19. Thesecond terminals 19 extend outward of thebushing compartment 11. Theterminals 19 are oriented substantially vertically and parallel to each other. -
Fig. 2 shows a partial sectional drawing of the front and side view ofFig 1 . In the area where thebushing compartment 11 is attached on the side wall 3 of thetank 2 there is an opening 8 in the side wall 3. This opening 8 is sealed by weldedside wall portions 12 andbottom portion 14 of thebushing compartment 11. - Flexible conductors connect the
terminals 18 through theopening 8 with thewinding assembly 10 located on the magnetic core 9 in thetank 2. -
Fig. 3 shows an enlarged view of detail "X" inFig. 2 . The side walls of thebushing compartment 11 andbottom portion 14 are pot-shaped. Thebottom portion 14 has the opening 15 for receiving thesecond bushing assembly 16. A plate-shapedinsulating part 23 acts as a carrier forelectrical conductors 17. A sealinggasket 24 is located between theinsulating part 23 and thebottom portion 14. Theinsulating part 23 is fixed with screws. - The invention provides sufficient space for electrical connections required in additional high current applications.
- The foregoing merely illustrates the principal of the invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to diverse numerous arrangements which, although not explicitly described or shown herein, embody those principles and are within the scope of the invention.
