Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pressure ring for clamping transformer coils, especially large transformer coils.
  • the subject of the invention also includes a procedure for the realisation of the procedure.
  • the longitudinal displacement of the transformer t coils takes place as a result of forces of several hundreds tons generated by operating and short-circuit impulses, which, in the case of transformers the coil diameter of which is above 2,000 mm, may cause disturbances and result in structural damage.
  • a pressure ring is used, the lower flat surface of which lies against the coil, and it is clamped onto the coil by a large force exerted by a mechanic or hydraulic structure on several points of the upper surface. In the case of high capacity transformers this clamping force may be several hundreds of tons.
  • pressure rings are made of special wood by sticking together thin layers of board.
  • the diameter of pressure rings made of wood required for high capacity transformers - as it has been pointed out above - may be more than 2 metres, and they may be more than 150 mm thick. They need to be so thick, because the modulus of elasticity of the wood is rather low.
  • a clamping force is necessarily exerted on the upper surface of the pressure ring at several points situated relatively far from each other, and the rigidity of the ring must ensure that the forces are passed on to the surface of the transformer coil even on the sections where there is no direct application of force.
  • Pressure rings made of plastic - combined with glass- r fibre fabric and resin - are also used for clamping transformer coils.
  • layers of glass-fibre fabric, pre-impregnated with resin are placed on top of each other, then they are compacted and cured with pressure and heat.
  • the exact ring sizes are ensured with subsequent machining.
  • the modulus of elasticity of such pressure rings is better than in the case of wooden rings, it is a disadvantage that they need to be subsequently machined to achieve the exact size, as an expensive machining process is required after the compacting, which damages the cutting machine and impairs the mechanical properties of the final product as it destroys glass fibres where the machining is performed.
  • a further disadvantage is that the size of compression presses is restricted, so practically the size of the pressure rings produced cannot be more than 2,000 mm.
  • the specific mass of glass-fibre fabric may not be more than 55-60%, however, the mechanical properties can only be improved by adding more glass-fibre fabric, but this is not possible.
  • the bundles of coarse fibres in glass-fibre fabric are not situated in a straight line, but - as is characteristic of weaving - they are fed over and under each other in an undulating line, so as a result of pulling force the fibres stretch and become tense, and only after they have become tense are they able to absorb forces directly. As a result of this the initial modulus of elasticity of such reinforcing fibre systems remains below the level that could otherwise be reached with glass fibres.
  • the task to be solved with the invention is to provide a pressure ring suitable for clamping transformer coils which does not have the aforementioned disadvantages of such known pressure rings, has the maximum modulus of elasticity that can be practically reached to perform the given function, the diameter of which can be increased to the currently required value, the thickness of which can be significantly reduced as compared to pressure rings made of wood, and can be produced with a simple and safe manufacturing process and equipment.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that in a system embedded in a resin matrix containing reinforcing fibres, in a given bending place the largest modulus of elasticity - the largest bending strength - can be reached with reinforcing fibres arranged in one plane in parallel with each other and the bending plane, and the bending strength of the ring can be increased further, if the reinforcing fibres are tense when they are first placed in the matrix.
  • the fibres immediately absorb forces, there is no need for the fibres to "straighten out" first as it is described above in connection with glass-fibre fabric.
  • the pressure ring statically speaking, a situation takes place analogous to the bending phenomenon of a continuous beam, but this beam forms a circular shape, so, in practice, the reinforcing fibres should also be arranged along a circular path.
  • the set task was solved with a pressure ring required for clamping transformer coils which- is made of fibre-reinforced resin, and is characterised by that the reinforcing fibres in the pressure ring are situated starting from the internal diameter ' of the pressure ring, continuously, in a stressed condition, in a spiral shape, embedded in the resin matrix, filling its cross-section surface completely all the way to the external diameter of the pressure ring.
  • the matrix contains a filling material, especially solid grains and/ or ground and/ or course-ground reinforcing fibres, especially glass fibres, and favourably the filling material is composed of 3-800 micron- sized inorganic material, practically the grindings of dolomite and /or calcium carbonate and /or aluminium oxide and/or silicon oxide and/or glass; or/and ground and/ or coarse-ground reinforcing fibre, especially glass fibre or/ and resin.
  • the matrix contains filling material forming 1- 100% of the resin, and the diameter of the reinforcing fibres is 6- 18 micron, and favourably they are glass fibres or/ and kevlar or ceramic fibres.
  • the resin is vinyl ester, isophthalic acid based polyester or epoxy resin.
  • the reinforcing fibres run parallel to each other in the pressure ring.
  • the essence of the procedure according to the invention is that the continuous reinforcing fibres are kept in a tensioned state and they are wound around a rotating core, practically a disc, the external diameter of which is the same as the internal diameter of the pressure ring to be produced and the width of which is the same as the thickness of the pressure plate, while resin is applied onto the reinforcing fibres at the workplace situated in front of the rotating core; the winding operation is performed continuously until the external diameter of the coil created on the core reaches the same value as the planned external diameter of the pressure ring to be produced; then the core is stopped, the resin is cured or left to cure; finally the pressing ring is removed from the core.
  • the reinforcing fibres are wound on a core practically constructed as a disc, arranged in the same plane parallel to each other; practically the reinforcing fibres are pulled off bobbins and kept tense during the winding process by braking.
  • resin is applied onto the reinforcing fibres by conducting them through an impregnating tray and/ or with the help of a resin feeding structure; and in a given case filling material is added to the resin by mixing it previously to it or/ and by spraying it on the surface of the reinforcing fibres already impregnated with resin.
  • Another realisation method of the procedure is characterised by that the angle at which the reinforcing fibres are wound onto the core with respect to the horizontal is continuously changed depending on the increasing of the coil diameter, and this operation is performed on the basis of continuously measuring the increasing of the diameter. It may also be favourable, if in the course of winding the reinforcing fibres, as the diameter of the coil increases by rotating the core with a continuously reducing speed of revolution the fibre pulling is performed with a constant circumferential speed.
  • the essence of the equipment according to the invention is that it has
  • the rotating core has an axle connected to a motor the speed of revolution of which can be changed, and it is provided with removable fastening plates confining a space the width of which is the same as the thickness of the pressure ring, situated on the two sides of the core and protruding laterally.
  • the impregnating unit contains an impregnating tray and/ or resin feeding structure.
  • the structure that holds the reinforcing fibres in a tensioned state consists of at least one, favourably two braking structures, and one of these braking structures is situated before the impregnating workplace with respect to the direction of winding the reinforcing fibres, and the other braking structure is situated after the impregnating workplace.
