Electro Electric Systems of Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., being specialized in design and manufacturing of electrical equipment, has been pursuing the business goal of providing total solution to the customers around the world since its establishment. We are offering the complete range of electrical equipment for power plants, transmission and distribution, and various industrial sectors such as Transformers, SF6 Gas Insulated Switchgears, Medium Voltage Switchgears, Motors, Generators, Instrumentation & Control Systems, Power Electronics etc. Among such wide range of products, Hyundai Transformers, featuring the excellent performance and a high level of reliability proven through a lot of experiences accumulated over a long span of period, have been delivered to the customers and gained good reputation from the customers. In order to serve the customers with efficient global capacity, Hyundai operates two transformer plants ; Ulsan plant in Korea and Sofia plant located in Bulgaria. Hyundai Ulsan plant, equipped with the most advanced manufacturing and testing equipment, and having the annual capacity of 45,000MVA, is manufacturing the whole range of transformers from distribution and power transformers up to 800kV including cast resin and special transformers. And Hyundai Sofia plant, with its long experience of more than 50 years in manufacturing of transformer and tap changers, has been supplying its products to the customers for power generation, transmission and distribution areas. Hyundai, having the competitive edges in price, delivery and quality, have become the world leading supplier of transformers over the short span of period since its establishment. It is committed to offering the best service for the customers including after-sales service. Both Ulsan and Sofia plants of Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., have kept total quality system certified by ISO 9001 and Hyundai is providing quality products and services for the customers in accordance with their requirements.

Transformer Power & Distribution Transformer Core Construction

The cores for Hyundai transformers are made of high quality, cold-rolled, grain-oriented silicon steel coated with magnesium-silicate-phosphate. For low loss design as required by loss evaluation requirement of the customer, laser scribed or plasma treated silicon steel can be used. The standard core construction type of Hyundai transformer is core form type having three leg core or five leg core of three phase and two leg core or three leg core or four leg core of single phase according to the customer s special requirement. In the core of large power transformer, suitable insulation papers are inserted between some laminations for the purpose of reducing eddy currents and also minimizing magnetic short-circuit. And in order to obtain effective cooling, cooling ducts are provided between the core laminations. The leg core in which hard wooden bars are inserted, are tightened with synthetic resin impregnated glass band.

Winding

The winding is made of copper conductor covered with several layers of insulation paper or enamel coating of high dielectric strength. Rectangular conductor, multiple conductor and transposed conductor are employed in the winding. The most optimized conductor is selected after considering the voltage and capacity of the transformer. Especially, the transposed conductor is composed of several wires individually covered with enamel and this entire wire unit is covered with several layers of insulation paper.

The advantage of using transposed conductor is to decrease eddy current loss in the windings, improvement of the lamination factor and manufacturing of windings in a short span of time. In manufacturing large power transformers, the most suitable winding method is employed according to the capacity, voltage and tap range of each transformer. And during the manufacturing process of windings, the following factors are taken into account: Short Circuit Ability to withstand impulses Eddy current loss Ability to distribute over-voltage

Core & Coil Assembling

For insulation, all Hyundai transformers have a concentric winding structure. One or more insulating cylinders are placed around the core legs. The number of insulating cylinder depends on the voltage stress between the leg and the winding itself. Vertical spacers are provided to produce an oil duct for the cooling of windings. Between the low and high voltage winding a number of insulating cylinders are provided at fixed distance from each other by using vertical spacers. The high voltage winding is wound on the outer cylinder.

The bottom of the windings rest on the supporting system of the lower yoke. And a large wooden press ring called "pressing wood" is provided at the top of windings. The windings are pressed by means of the pressing wood and bolts on the upper clamp device. All leads and bus bar are tightly supported to withstand short-circuit force. After the core and coil assembly of transformer is completed, it is dried in the vapor phase drying plants under high vacuum condition for the purpose of eliminating moisture content

Transformer under In-tanking Process On completion of the vacuum drying, the core and coil assembly is inserted in the tank.

Tank

Protection of the active parts in the transformer is very important, especially in case of high voltage and large current transformer. While achieving the optimized size of transformer to suit the site condition for installation, the main role of the tank is to protect the active parts and the tank is manufactured to have sufficient strength to withstand internal and external faults that may occur during operation. And the various ancillary devices such as lifting lug, jack pad, pulling eye and skid base are designed and provided on the tank so that the completely assembled transformer unit can be moved in any direction without damage when using rollers, plates or rails. Hyundai strict welding procedure and leak test assure 100% leakproof seams and maximum mechanical strength. After finishing the welding work, it will be shot -blasted to remove all dust and spatters before painting.

Transformer Tank The tank is made of high quality mild steel.

Painting of Tank The tank is painted with HHI standard painting system which is poly-urethane resin in order to prevent the tank from any possible corrosion which may appear according to the site condition.

Cooling system

A transformer in service has losses which are transformed as heat to be dissipated and thus leading to a temperature rise in the transformer. In order not to allow the temperature to rise above the permissible level, a suitable cooling method should be considered and adopted. Generally, the cooling method suitable for the transformer is determined by the customer after due consideration of transformer capacity and the circumstances at the installation site.

Oil to Air Cooler Hyundai can design and manufacture transformer with various types of cooling systems according to the customer s requirement. ONAN: Natural oil cooling(ON), Natural air cooling(AN) ONAF: Natural oil cooling(ON), Forced air cooling(AF)

OFAF: Forced oil cooling(OF), Forced air cooling(AF) ODAF: Directed oil cooling(OD), Forced air cooling(AF) OFWF: Forced oil cooling(OF), Forced water cooling(WF)
