Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clamping bridge for a clamping system for an electric transformer, said clamping bridge comprising a first mounting portion for mounting the clamping bridge on a first clamping frame member of said clamping system, a second mounting portion for mounting the clamping bridge on a second clamping frame member of the clamping system, as well as a retaining portion adapted to be brought into contact with a laminated yoke of a transformer core of said transformer.
  • the invention relates to a clamping system for an electric transformer, said clamping system comprising a first clamping frame with a first clamping frame member and a second clamping frame member adapted to be arranged on opposing sides of a laminated yoke of a transformer core of said transformer, at least one tension element, preferably horizontal tie bars, connecting the first clamping frame member to the second clamping frame member under tensile stress, as well as a clamping bridge connecting the first clamping frame member to the second clamping frame member.
  • Electrical transformers and electrical power transformers in particular usually feature a transformer core consisting of multiple laminations. Windings of a particular phase are arranged on each core column of this laminated core.
  • the ends of said core columns are connected by yokes of the laminated core; upper ends of the columns are connected to each other by an upper yoke whereas lower ends of the columns are connected to each other by a lower yoke.
  • clamping frames are employed which are positioned around the upper and lower yokes of the laminated core. Respective members of these clamping frames are positioned on opposing sides of the yoke and are held together under tension, such that the respective yoke is wedged in between said clamping frame members.
  • each winding is pressed between two pressure plates which are inserted between the upper yoke and the upper ending of the winding, and between the lower yoke and the lower end of the winding respectively.
  • the clamping frame assigned to the upper yoke is connected to the clamping frame assigned to the lower yoke via tension elements. After pressing the clamping frames assigned to the upper and lower yoke towards each other, the clamping frames are firmly attached to the tension elements such that said tension elements keep the distance between both clamping frames fixed.
  • clamping bridges In order to provide stability to the whole clamping system during this winding pressing procedure, to absorb vertical forces produced during transportation, loading and unloading of the transformer, and to provide support to the transformer cover under vacuum load, it is known to employ clamping bridges.
  • Such clamping bridges are connected to two opposing clamping frame members of one clamping frame in such a way that they each cover the respective yoke at least partially.
  • said bridges When external pressure is applied on one clamping frame, say of the one assigned to the upper yoke, in order to move it closer to the clamping frame assigned to the lower yoke, said bridges will retain the yoke thereby avoiding that the yoke is lifted from its position and/or that the respective core laminations deform under pressure.
  • Known clamping bridges are made of magnetic steel grade (EN 10025 S235xx or S355xx) and therefore constitute an electric connection between the clamping frame members of one clamping frame. Electro-magnetic fields originating from the windings and connection thus generate eddy currents that unhinderedly flow through the whole clamping frame. This may result in the creation of hotspots within the active part of the transformer and may also lead to gassing.
  • the proposed clamping bridge should minimize losses and heat or gassing problems stemming from eddy currents in the transformer's laminated core, and at the same time feature an increased reliability as compared to known isolation measures Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to present a clamping system featuring the aforementioned advantages.
  • a clamping bridge for a clamping system for an electric transformer comprising a first mounting portion for mounting the clamping bridge on a first clamping frame member of said clamping system, a second mounting portion for mounting the clamping bridge on a second clamping frame member of the clamping system, as well as a retaining portion adapted to be brought into contact with a laminated yoke of a transformer core of said transformer, accomplishes an object of the invention in that the clamping bridge is made of an epoxy resin laminate.
  • the clamping bridge itself can be used as a means for electric isolation between the first clamping frame member and the second clamping frame member.
  • additional elements for electric isolation as they are employed in the prior art, become moot and effects attributed to eddy currents through the clamping frame can be effectively minimized.
  • clamping bridges made of epoxy resin laminate have structural strength and stability properties facilitating to reliably keep the laminated yoke in shape and position when pressure is exerted on the first and second clamping frame members.
  • the epoxy resin laminate is realized as epoxy woven glass cloth.
  • the epoxy woven glass cloth is EP GC 203 or EP GC 205, as defined in the norm IEC 60893.
  • Subclause 6.1 nominal thickness of sheet to which test is applicable is 3 mm or more
  • a clamping bridge made of this material is strong enough to maintain stability of the clamping frame as well as of the transformer's laminated core under stress, and in addition to that provides excellent isolation in order to reduce negative effects associated with eddy currents through the clamping frame.
  • said retaining portion is arranged in a different plane than said first mounting portion and/or said second mounting portion.
  • a surface of the yoke may be uneven due to laminations having different lengths.
  • the profile of said surface therefore, may have a maximum height in a central region with its height falling off in outer regions of said surface.
  • a shift of the clamping bridge's retaining portion with respect to its first and/or second mounting region thus facilitates to, at least approximately, align the shape of the clamping bridge with the shape of the respective yoke or its outer surface facing the clamping bridge .
  • said retaining portion comprises a first planar section which is arranged substantially parallel to the first mounting portion and/or the second mounting portion.
  • This design allows for an optimal approximation of generally encountered yoke (surface) shapes.
  • the retaining portion comprises a second planar section protruding obliquely from the first planar section and connecting the first planar section with the first mounting portion, as well as a third planar section protruding obliquely from the first planar section and connecting the first planar section with the second mounting portion .
  • the clamping bridge has a first set of openings for receiving fastening elements, preferably bolts or screws, for fastening the clamping bridge to the first clamping frame member and/or to the second clamping frame member, and/or the clamping bridge has a second set of openings for receiving tension elements, preferably vertical tie bars, for connecting the first clamping frame member and/or the second clamping frame member to a further clamping frame .
  • fastening elements preferably bolts or screws
  • the first set of openings may be realized as elongated holes located in the first and second mounting portion of the clamping bridge, each of which openings can be open at one side.
  • the first set of openings allows for a simple and reliable fastening of the clamping bridge to the first and second clamping frame member.
  • the second set of openings for receiving the tension elements for connecting the first clamping frame member and/or the second clamping frame member to a further clamping frame may be positioned in the first and second mounting portion of the clamping bridge. They can be realized as drilled holes which may be positioned between said first set of openings of the respective mounting portion. Preferably, said second set of openings can be supported by one or more support discs or support plates. Said second set of openings allows for a particularly simple and reliable way of receiving the tension elements for connecting the first clamping frame member and/or the second clamping frame member to a further clamping frame.
  • tension elements While pressure is applied to the clamping frame (members) these tension elements may be loosely inserted in the respective second set of openings, thereby allowing for a variation of the distance between the clamping frame to which the first and second clamping frame members belong, and a further clamping frame. As soon as the desired pressure (or distance between the clamping frames) has been reached, the tension elements may be tightly fastened to the clamping bridge, e.g. by means of threaded heads of the tension elements and corresponding nuts.
  • the feature 'first set of openings for receiving fastening elements' is independent from the feature 'second set of openings for receiving tension elements' .
  • neither of these features is substantial for solving the object of the invention described above.
  • neither of these features is essential for the functioning for the clamping bridge with respect to the above-described object of the invention.
  • fastening the clamping bridge to the first clamping frame member and/or to the second clamping frame member - e.g. by gluing the first and second mounting portion to the clamping frame members - as well as for anchoring the tension elements within the clamping frame - e.g. by corresponding receiving means located within the first clamping frame member and/or the second clamping frame member, no significant adaption of the clamping bridge would be made necessary by singling out either of these independent features .
  • the openings are lined with reinforcing members, preferably realized as glass fibre tubes .
  • the clamping bridge may have a tendency to delaminate due to threaded heads of the tension elements and/or of the fastening elements. Under pressure the threads might eat into the inner walls of the first and/or second set of openings of the clamping bridge. In order to prevent this, the inner walls of the first set of openings and/or the inner walls of the second set of openings may be reinforced by means of said reinforcing members.

  • first clamping frame member and a second clamping frame member adapted to be arranged on opposing sides of a laminated yoke of a transformer core of said transformer
  • At least one tension element preferably realized as at least one horizontal tie bar, connecting the first clamping frame member to the second clamping frame member under tensile stress, as well as
  • clamping bridge connecting the first clamping frame member to the second clamping frame member, whereas the object is achieved in that the clamping bridge is realized according to any of the embodiments described above.
  • clamping bridges By employing the clamping bridge according to the invention, additional elements for facilitating electric isolation between the clamping bridge and the other elements of the first clamping frame, in particular the first and second clamping frame members, become unnecessary. Any effects attributed to eddy currents through the clamping frame can thus be effectively minimized.
  • clamping bridges according to the invention have structural strength and stability properties facilitating to reliably keep the laminated yoke in shape and position when pressure is exerted on the first clamping frame.
  • the clamping system comprises at least two tension elements, preferably vertical tie bars, connecting the first clamping frame to a further clamping frame of the clamping system, whereas these tension elements are received in a second set of openings of the clamping bridge.
  • the winding pressing procedure is significantly simplified.
  • External pressure can be applied to the first clamping frame member and to the second clamping frame member, as well as to those parts of the first and second mounting portions of the clamping bridge which overlap with the first and second clamping frame members respectively.
  • the pressure may be maintained while the tension elements connecting the first clamping frame to the second clamping frame can be tightly fixed to the clamping bridge.
