INTRODUCTION
Atlanta electrical is the leading manufacturer of electrical
transformer that also include power and distribution transformer.
Incorporated in the year 1983, Atlanta electrical pvt. Ltd. , has
consolidated its position in the power generation and transformer
industry as a manufacturer of wide range of special application
transformers which conforms to the quality expectation of both domestic
and international market.

TYPES OF WINDING
1) Cylindrical winding
2) Helical winding
3) Double layer helical winding
4) Continuous disc winding
5) Interleaved disc winding
6) Cross over winding
1) Helical winding
The helical winding has its turns wound in axial direction along screw line with
an inclination corresponding to the height of a conductor and an oil duct between
turns. The winding consist of single section conductor or no of strands in parallel
wound in the form of a continuous helix.
Helical winding is generally used for low voltage, medium capacity and high
current rating. In low voltage winding current is very high compared to high
voltage winding so no of small conductor strips used instead of single large
conductor. A distinguishing feature of the helical winding is the use of transposed
conductor by changing the relative position of individual conductor and group of
conductors. The transposition is essential to equalizing resistance and leakage
reactance of each parallel conductor. In absence of transposition these conductors
having different length and being situated in the leakage field having un equal flux
densities, will have different resistance and leakage reactance.
This would lead to non-uniform distribution of current in parallel conductors
thereby overloading of portions of conductors and causing additional eddy current
losses in conductors. The standard maximum size of conductor limited to 17mm x
4mm.

2) DISC WINDING
a) Conventional disc winding
b) Interleaved disc winding
The winding consist of no of flat coils or discs connected in series or parallel. The
coils are formed with rectangular strips wound spirally from centre outwards in the
radial direction. The conductor used is in such lengths as are sufficient for
complete winding or section of winding between tapping. The conductor can be
single strip or a no of strips in parallel, wound on the flat side.
Disk winding is generally used for high voltage, large capacity, and low current
rating. In high voltage winding current is low as compared to low voltage winding.
So single copper conductor or sometimes multi conductor (large capacity
transformer) used in disc winding. Interleaved disc winding is as shown in fig.(c).
Interleaving improves voltage distribution for transient voltages with steep like
lightning surges, switching surge.
CORE
Cold Rolled Grain Oriented (CRGO) silicon steels are used for laminations of
the Power Transformers. Cold Rolled Grain Oriented (CRGO) sheets will have
superior magnetic properties in the direction of rolling.
Thickness of the CRGO sheets will be of the order of 0.33mm to 0.25mm.These
CRGO Steel Laminations are stacked together to form a magnetic core for the
Transformer. The Commercially available CRGO steel sheets will have 3% of
Silicon. Higher the Silicon content increases the resistivity and reduces the eddy
current losses. But Silicon Content above 3.5% makes the CRGO silicon steel
sheets brittle. Silicon content of3% to 3.25% is used in commercial grades of
CRGO steel.
The following features or properties influence for selecting the CRGO steel
sheet as magnetic core circuits for transformers.
• Core loss will be independent of the load of the transformer. By
using CRGO steel sheets core loss is low result in reduction of the
constant losses.
• Low apparent power input (Low hysteresis loss) results in low no
load current
• Good mechanical processing properties
• Low magnetostriction results in low noise level.

CORE CUTTINGS
The use of mitered joints assures that the flux flows along the direction of grain
orientation thereby minimizing both the core loss and the magnetizing current.
TYPE OF CORE CONSTRUCTION
In core due to magnetic flux small emf induced in itself and current starts
flowing in core & this current known as eddy current. So due to presence of eddy
current losses take place in core and increase core temperature. To avoid eddy
current losses core made up of number of stampings. so current reduced and
divided in multiple path.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CORE CONSTRUCTION
1) conventional core
2) step lap core
Magnetic flux produce in core and this flux flow in core. At corner flux passes
from joint. In conventional core flux direction are as shown in fig. and in step lap
core flux passes as shown in fig. Core losses depend on corner joints. Core losses
reduced in step lap core compared to conventional core construction. Noise also
reduced in step lap core.
(Flux passes through conventional core joints)
(Flux passes through step lap core joints)
CONSTRUCTION OF CORE
1) Before starting to arrange lamination sheets on frame channel, check its
alignment of both frames, leveling of channel and limb plates. Also check proper
insulation arrangement.
2) Measure leg centre after completion of each stack and also check centre of the
channel during process.
3) Check diagonal dimensions at least 2 to 3 times during process.
4) Provide adequate bottom support and frame supports as stacking increase.
5) Lamination stack should be padded using permawood block.
6) Now after completing stacking process put remaining frame plates and fitted
using nut-bolt. also provide belts to support core stampings during lifting core for
placed in vertical position.
7) Now check stack dimensions on each side and compare both reading. it should
be nearly same.
8) Check for limb diameter, leg centre and window height. And note down all
readings during checking.
9) Also check alignment of both channel bottom to bottom and top to top.
10) Now wound fiberglass tape around each limb to provide sufficient mechanical
strength to core stampings. and apply araldite on tape.
11) If oil circulation duct is present in core then connect both core sides using
copper strip. Proper press board or paper isolation should be provided to avoid
short circuit between stampings due to copper strip.
12) Copper strip should be inserted minimum 5inches deep in to core.
13) Then yoke clamps will be fitted using MS NUT-BOLT.
14) Provide adequate isolation between all frame parts and core part. Also
isolation provided between H.V and L.V frame plates. It will provide ease in fault
detection whether it will be on LV or HV side.
15) Ensure there are no sharp edges on studs. to avoid high density hot spots.
