Abstract
An electrical transformer assembly characterized by a tank (3) having opposite sides (7, 9, 11, 13) and a top access opening (17) with a transformer structure (5) movable into and out of the tank through the opening, the transformer structure including a coil (21) and core (23) assembly mounted within a support frame (25, 27, 29, 31) which frame has a top surface (37) on which transformer components (39, 41, 43) are mounted whereby the assembly of the transformer structure and transformer components are movable into or from the tank intact.
Description
- This invention relates to an electrical transformer structure and, more particularly, to a three-phase electrical transformer coil and core assembly having transformer components mounted thereon.
- Electrical distribution transformer components are mounted within a tank where they are commonly cooled with an insulating or cooling dielectric fluid such as mineral oil. In the past transformer components, such as tap changers, fuses, and circuit breakers, have been mounted within the tank and normally on the inner surface of the tank wall such as shown in U.S. Patent No. 4,504,811. A disadvantage of such mounting locations has been the necessity of mounting the component after the transformer core-coil assembly has been lowered into the tank, or dismounting the components prior to removing the transformer core-coil assembly from the tank.
- It is a principal object of this invention to provide an electrical distribution transformer assembly wherein the auxiliary electrical components are directly mounted to the core-coil assembly through an insulating mounting board to provide a unitary structure within the transformer tank.
- With this object in mind the present invention resides in an electrical distribution transformer assembly comprising: a tank having opposite sidewalls, opposite end walls, a bottom wall and an access opening; a transformer core winding assembly including end frame members, a bottom frame member and a top frame member, supporting and securing a plurality of coils and at least one core, said transformer core winding assembly being movable into an out of said tank through said access opening; a planar insulating component mounting board mounted to and spaced from said top frame member between said core winding assembly and said access opening, and a plurality of transformer components mounted to the surface of said component mounting board remote from said core winding assembly and adjacent said access opening.
- The advantages of the structure of this invention enables significant reductions in the tank height because the components are installed in an area currently not utilized and thereby enables the use of less cooling dielectric fluid. The structure also enables the assembly of the transformer components at reduced labor costs outside the tank assembly and before placement of the assembly into the tank.
- The single view of the drawing is a pictorial view of a transformer partially cut away and partially exploded and which is constructed according to the teachings of the invention.
- In the drawing a transformer construction is generally indicated at 1 and it comprises a transformer tank 3 and a transformer structure generally indicated at 5. The tank 3 is preferably of rectangular construction having opposite side walls 7, 9, opposite end walls 11, 13, a bottom wall 15, and a top access opening 17 which is normally covered with a top cover (not shown). The tank is normally filled to a
level 19 with a liquid insulating and cooling medium or dielectric, such as mineral oil. The transformer structure 5 is preferably a three-phase magnetic core windingassembly including coils 21 and cores 23 associated in a conventional manner. - The magnetic core winding assembly is mounted within a frame having opposite
end frame members 25, 27, a bottom frame member 29, and atop frame member 31, whereby the core-winding assembly is secured intact. The magnetic core winding assembly together with the mounting frame is immersed in the liquid dielectric which circulates within the tank and through openings 33 into and through a heat exchanger or cooler 35 which is mounted on each end wall 11, 13. - In accordance with this invention, a plurality of combinations of components for a distribution transformer are preferably mounted on a planar
insulating mounting board 37. Such components may includefuses 39, atap changer 41, and acircuit breaker 43. Theinsulating mounting board 37 is preferably comprised of a dielectric material, such as micarta or press board. Theboard 37 includes a plurality ofpre-punched holes 45 to accept all known combinations of lead wires or conductors extending between theseveral components - The
mounting board 37 is attached to thetop frame member 31 by means of suitable fasteners, such as screws (not shown), which extend through aligned holes 47, 49 in theboard 37 andtop frame member 31. Sufficient dielectric clearance is provided between themounting board 37 and thetop frame member 31 by the use ofinsulating spacers 50 which are held in place by the same fasteners which attach themounting board 37 to thetop frame member 41. Although the insulatingmounting board 37 may be mounted and dismounted separately from thetop frame member 31, it is preferably mounted in place before the transformer structure 5 is placed within the tank 3. - Because the
several components top frame member 31 and the access opening 17, the overall size of the transformer tank 3 may be reduced to smaller dimensions without the provision of clearance for the components which are otherwise normally mounted on one or more of the tank walls 7-13. Accordingly, the assembly of the transformer structure and insulating mounting board with the several transformer components is conveniently installed and/or removed from the tank with a minimum of effort. - In conclusion, the advantages of the transformer construction of this invention includes installation of the components in an area which is currently under utilized. The transformer construction also enables assembly of the components in place outside of the tank thus reducing labor costs. Moreover, there is a reduction of number of parts used and a facilitation of each replacement of effective components.
