ELECTRIC, WITH AN EDGE
A 3MVA transformer is a static electrical appliance that transfers AC power by transforming AC voltage and current between two or more windings at the same frequency by means of electromagnetic induction.
Transformers are generally divided into two categories: power transformers and special transformers. Power transformers can be divided into generator transformers, transmission transformers, tie transformers and distribution transformers.
As a transformer factory that has been producing and designing transformers for more than 16 years, Daelim can not only provide you with the most customized services, but also provide you with transformers that meet industry experimental standards such as CSA, IEEE, and NISA. Having these transformers can help you reduce grid losses and bring you more economic benefits.
The apparent power in megavolt amperes (MVA) in 3 MVA Transformer is measured.
An electrical circuit’s perceived power is the sum of its current and voltage.
For purposes of describing overall electrical power in installations, this phrase is often used instead of “rated power,” which only considers actual, usable power.
Transformers and generators are among the most popular electrical installations to employ this rating.
In addition, there are additional derivatives used to derive 3 MVA transformers, such as kilowatt-ampere (kVa).
A megawatt ampere is the same as a thousand kilowatt amperes.
Engineers always consider the substation’s capacity while installing power generators and transformers in an electric power substation, so they install generators and transformers with comparable 3 MVA Transformer power capacities.
A substation’s 3 MVA Transformer power capacity can be used to estimate an industry’s or a neighborhood’s electrical power needs, which are then compared to that capacity.
Hence, MVA ratings for power transformers vary widely for every transformer.
Power transformers are evaluated by engineers to see if they are suitable for transferring power from the substation to businesses and residences.
3 MVA Transformer power capacity should be matched to the substation to minimize power loss.
As a result, power surges that cause property damage or even death are reduced because of better power management.
The 3 mva transformer is the main electrical equipment of the transmission and distribution system and the heart of the power supply.
The 3 mva transformer can also reduce the voltage to meet the needs of users. It is necessary to establish primary and secondary substations in the areas where electricity is used, and use transmission transformers to reduce the transmitted high-voltage power to a suitable voltage or connect to other power grids by tie transformes 3mva.
Finally, the power is sent directly to the user with a 3 mva transformer.
(l) Choose a 3 mva transformer, which can not only meet the needs of electricity consumption, but also make reasonable use of the capacity. It is not only necessary to not overload at high loads, but also to keep the load factor above 0.3.
(2) Before purchasing a 3 mva transformer, the statistical analysis of the load must be done well. The total number of kilowatts of electrical equipment, including irrigation and drainage, threshing, processing of agricultural and sideline products, and domestic electricity (including lighting, home appliances), how many kilowatts of the largest electric motor, and the power development plan in the past two or three years, etc., according to this to determine the number and capacity of 3 mva transformers.
(3) When choosing the capacity and number of 3 mva transformers, try to use multiple small-capacity distributions, avoid single large-capacity, and do not prefer large or small, so as not to cause the power supply range to be too large, and the power radius of low-voltage lines to be too long. Increase investment in line construction, resulting in excessive low-voltage line losses, operating costs and long-term high rural electricity prices.
(4) According to the current industry and national environmental protection policy requirements, energy-saving products must be selected, and SL, (S7) or S must be selected. series of low loss transformers. The low-loss transformer 3mva has new equipment, good technology, small self-loss and outstanding energy-saving effect. Compared with the old model SJ, the new sL; 10 kV 50 kV distribution transformer reduces no-load loss by 56.8% and load loss by 13.2%.
(5) According to the nature of the load and electricity requirements, set up a special 3 mva transformer. For example, special transformers for water conservancy can be set up for deep well water pumping and irrigation. Large-scale flour processing, machine brick production, and township industrial factories and mines all need to set up special transformers 3mva to meet the needs of production.
For 3 mva distribution transformers, high-voltage rooms and relay protection devices should be used.
The installation features of the 3 mva transformer are as follows: drop fuses are installed on the high-voltage outdoor inlet pole, and valve-type arresters are installed on the high-voltage outdoor wall inlet frame, and the high-voltage line enters the indoor high-voltage switch cabinet through the wall bushing.
There are oil-less circuit breakers and isolation knife switches in the switch cabinet, and two sets of current transformers are installed, one is connected to the measuring instrument, the other is connected to the relay protection device, and the protection device has overload, current quick-break and over-current protection.
When the 3mva transformer is overloaded, the overload relay will act and send out a signal: when a short circuit accident occurs inside the transformer 3mva, bushings, and leads, the current quick-break protection will act immediately, the switch will trip, and the transformer will be out of operation. The quick-break protection is the main protection of the transformer 3mva.
The overcurrent protection of the 3mva transformer mainly protects the overcurrent caused by the external short circuit of the transformer. It is the backup protection for the fault of the 3mva transformer. The overcurrent protection setting must be greater than the maximum load current, generally 1.5 times to 2 times the high voltage rated current. .
For 3 mva transformers, in order to reduce investment, AC operation is generally used, the trip coil is powered by current transformers, CS:-114 operating mechanism is used, and GL-15 (16) inverse time current relay is used for protection, which operates in the operating mechanism The two current trip coils of the circuit breaker trip. room
The 3 mva transformer can also be installed outdoors. Its overcurrent protection is mainly a multi-oil circuit breaker on the column, which has many models.
The current setting value is set by the setting screw in the operating mechanism box, and the setting screw is engraved with the operating current value. After adjustment, check the correctness of its setting value through the actual trip test.
Because the oil-on-column circuit breaker (oil-on-column switch) does not have an obvious air gap, in order to ensure safety at work, a set of high-voltage drop fuses must be installed.
For overcurrent protection on the high voltage side of a 3 mva transformer, only drop fuses are installed. The installation height should be easy to operate on the ground.
Generally, the distance to the ground should not be less than 4 meters, the height from the 3 mva transformer should not be less than 1.8 meters, and the horizontal distance between phases should not be less than 1.8 meters. .5 meters.
The rated current of the fuse fuse is selected according to 1.5 to 2.5 times the rated current of the high-voltage side of the distribution transformer.
When the rated current of the fuse is calculated, the closest one should be selected according to the specification of the fuse.
Taking into account the mechanical strength of the fuse, its current rating should not be less than 3 amperes.
In order to facilitate the user to select the fuse of the 3 mva transformer,
The basic principle of the transformer is the principle of electromagnetic induction. It consists of two windings and a core.
When the primary winding AX with the number of turns N1 is connected to the AC power supply with the frequency f and the voltage U1, a small excitation current I0 is enough to generate the main magnetic flux Φ0 (maximum value Φm) in the iron core and pass through the outside of the iron core. The leakage flux Φs and Φ0 of the loop induce potentials E1 and E2 in the primary and secondary windings respectively, and there is a voltage U2 at the ax end of the secondary winding.
When the secondary winding is connected with a load, the secondary winding will flow current I2, and the primary current will increase from the excitation current I0 to I1 when there is no load.
Under no-load operating conditions,
If the magnetizing potential, the resistances r1 and r2 of the primary and secondary windings and the reactances x1 and x2 due to the leakage flux are ignored.
The voltage ratio of the primary and secondary windings U11U2 is equal to the number of turns N11N2.
N2 remains unchanged, the larger N1 is, or the N1 remains unchanged, the smaller N2 is,
Then U2 is smaller; N2 is unchanged, N1 is smaller or N1 is unchanged, N2 is larger, then U2 is larger.
Obviously, the purpose of changing the voltage can be achieved by changing the number of turns in either of the two windings. Usually, a number of taps (tap) are drawn on a certain winding to change the turns ratio N11N2, thereby changing the secondary voltage value. This is why a transformer 3mva can change the voltage.
When the secondary winding is connected to the load and the current flows, the secondary magnetic potential (current × number of turns) must cancel the primary magnetic potential because the excitation magnetic potential is ignored. To maintain balance, the larger the secondary current, the larger the primary current.
The current transformation relationship is the opposite of the voltage transformation relationship. As the voltage ratio expands, the current ratio shrinks. This is why a transformer 3mva can also change the current.
