Since the first delivery in Japan of SF6 gas-insulated transformers in 1967 (four units of 66 kV - 3000 kVA), Toshiba predicted immense future prospects for this type of transformer that utilizes the features of SF6 gas known for its nonflammability and coordinative ability with environmental conditions. Since then, coupled with incessantly continued research and development activities, Toshiba has accumulated abundant experience in delivering large-capacity gasinsulated transformers-for example, two units of 77 kV - 20 MVA. SF6 gas-insulated transformers are characterized by their outstanding nonflammability, insulation effects, and safety. On the other hand, SF6 gas-insulated switchgear incorporates the most advanced SF6 gas application techniques. Fully gas-insulated substations, adopting a combination of these transformers and switchgear, offer extra ease for safety assurance, accident prevention, and inspection/ maintenance. Concurrently, substations of this type are ideal for applications involving the needs for prevention of environment pollution, resistance to surrounding conditions, or compactness of installation spaces. Such substations are expected to lead the future trend.

First SF6 gas-insulated transformer supplied in Japan (66kV 3000kVA)

Outline
Demand for effective space utilization is becoming increasingly stronger as a result of grade advancement of commercial/industrial activities and urban life styles. Concurrently, city construction facilities including buildings, underground shopping areas, traffic systems, and public structures are becoming larger in size and gaining in the degree of complications. Since such facilities immensely contribute to improving the efficiency of urban activities, the current trend indicates the possibility of further expansion in the future. On the other hand, accidents involving outbreaks of extensive fire and other troubles are occasionally occurring in these large-sized urban facilities, resulting in the creation of public voices demanding improved fire or accident preventive measures. These construction facilities of cities represent high-valued social assets. However, since a great number of citizens utilize such .facilities day after day, it is quite essential to provide effective means to eliminate outbreaks of fire. To achieve this purpose, it is important to install modern fire-fighting systems capable of coping with various causes of fire. At the same time, basically it is most important to eliminate the possible causes of fire. Toshiba's SF6 gas-insulated transformers are designed to ideally satisfy nonflammability-ensuring plans of power reception/transformation systems installed in these urban facilities. Since no oil for insulation is used, these transformers can completely free structures or adjacent rivers from oil contamination during new installation work or system operation. In other words, Toshiba's SF6 gas-insulated transformers qualify themselves as truly "nonflammability-ensuring equipment" usable for power systems required to prevent fires/accidents and eliminate pollution.

Toshiba's SF6 gas-insulated transformers offer excellent insulation/cooling characteristics and thermal stability. Additionally, these transformers possess the following features resulting from containing the active parts in a tank sealed with nonflammable, harmless, and odorless SF6 gas.

Features

Toshiba's SF6 gas-insulated transformers are suitable for the following applications:

Applications

Locations where safety against fire is essential Buildings such as hotels, department stores, schools, and hospitals Underground shopping areas, underground substations Sites close to residential areas, factories, 1 High-level stability chemical plants Even should the actual transformer develop an accident, or should a fire break out on the installation environment, Locations where prevention of environment pollution is combustion or an explosion will not occur. specifically demanded Since all live parts are housed in grounded metal cases, Water supply source zones, residential quarters, seaside maintenance and inspection can be achieved easily and areas safely. Water treatment stations

2 Outstanding accident preventive characteristics

Nonflammable structure employing no insulation oil contributes to minimizing the scope of associated accident-preventive facilities such as fireproof walls, fire-fighting equipment, or oil tanks.

Locations where exposure exists to high-level moisture or dust accumulation Inside tunnels, industrial zones

3 Compactness of substation
By directly coupling with gas-insulated switchgear, substation space can be minimized as the result of compact facilities.

4 Simplified maintenance and long service life

Because the transformers are completely sealed in housing cases, no contact exists with exterior atmospheric air, thereby eliminating problems of degradation or contamination triggered by moisture or dust accumulation. Constant enveloping of components with inactive, dry SF6 gas results in minimizing aging deterioration of insulating materials and prolonging transformer service life.

5 Easy, clean installation

SF6 gas can be quickly sealed into the transformer tank from a cylinder. Installation work never contaminates surrounding areas, and ensures maintenance of a clean environment.

6 Ideal for high voltage systems

By increasing the seal pressure, SF6 gas transformers offer insulation performance comparable to that of oil-insulated types, being ideal for high voltages of 22 kV to 154 kV.

Accessories

Toshiba's SF6 gas-insulated transformers are manufactured under thoroughgoing quality control systems. To enable users to fully utilize these transformers, the following protective/monitoring devices are provided as standard accessories. Table 2 lists these standard accessories.

SF6 gas temperature indicator (dial thermometer)

Measures temperature of SF6 gas sealed in transformer tanks. Gas temperature is measured by the heat sensing probe of a thermometer inserted into the protective cylinder provided in the tank or on the cover. Since this protective cylinder maintains airtightness of the gas, the temperature indicator itself can be removed. The temperature indicator is provided with alarm contacts and a pointer for indicating maximum temperature.

Dial thermometer

SF6 gas pressure gauge (compound gauge)

This gauge is used to measure the pressure of SF6 gas sealed in the transformer tank. The gauge is a compound type that measures both positive and negative pressure, capable of measuring the positive pressure up to 3.0 kg/cm 2 and the negative pressure up to 760 mmHg. Generally, only the positive pressure is indicated during operation. Since vacuum suction is conducted when sealing SF6 into the tank, the graduations for negative pressure are provided for use during this gas sealing. The pressure gauge is provided with alarm contacts that actuate at the upper limit of normal pressure during operation.

Pressure gauge (compound gauge)

Temperature compensating pressure switch

Leakage is detected of SF6 gas sealed in the transformer tank. Pressure in the transformer tank is compared with pressure in the reference pressure chamber inserted into the protective cylinder provided in the tank or on the cover. Therefore, regardless of temperatures in the transformer, SF6 gas leakage is accurately detected and the alarm contacts are actuated.

Temperature compensating pressure switch

Layout Example of Gas-insulated Substation

By directly coupling Toshiba's SF6 gas-insulated transformer with SF6 gas-insulated switchgear, an accident preventive power reception/transformation facility can be erected without using insulation oil. Since this facility is not only an accident preventive type but also houses all live parts in grounded containers, maintenance/inspection can be conducted easily and safely. Also offered is another merit of minimum required installation space. Figures 5 to 7 show the single-line diagram, layout diagram, and photo of on-site installation status of a SF6 gasinsulated power reception/transformation facility.
