Introduction
It was established in 1956 in technical collaboration with M/s AEG of Germany. In October 1978, the company was taken over by Saigol Group of Companies. At that juncture, the company was only manufacturing transformers and switchgears. With the Saigols in management, PEL started expanding its product range by entering into Air Conditioner manufacturing. PEL has two divisions of its business. 1. Appliances Division 2. Power Division
Appliances Division
PEL s Appliances Division is the flag carrier of the Saigol Group. Appliances Division includes the products; Air Conditioner, Refrigerator, Washing Machine, Water Dispenser and Microwave Oven. Today, PEL has become a household name. Its products are not only in great demand in the local market but the Company has also started exporting its appliances to foreign markets.
Power Division
PEL Power Division is one of the major electrical equipment suppliers to WAPDA & KESC. Since 1956 the company manufactures transformers, energy meters, switchgears, kiosks, compact stations and shunt capacitor banks. PEL also has had the privilege of getting its equipment approved and certified from well-reputed international consultants.

Transformer
A transformer makes use of Faraday's law and the ferromagnetic properties of an iron core to efficiently raise or lower AC voltages. It of course cannot increase power so that if the voltage is raised, the current is proportionally lowered and vice versa.
Transformer figures are shown below in which its parts are labeled.

Internship Report has been written in such an order that first I will explain my experience and learning in Design Section, Production Department, I&QC department and finally in the maintenance department.
Design Department
The Design department is the most important department of the Transformer division. Because the basis of any transformer is laid here. It is the starting step in the production of any type of transformer. This department can be subdivided into two main categories: Electrical Design Mechanical Design When we first came to this department, we were first briefed about the working of the department by Mr. Amir Sharif (representing the electrical section) and Mr. (representing the Mechanical section).

Manufacturing Department
It is the responsibility of the manufacturing department to manufacture different components of transformer and then assemble them to make a transformer. Production department has following sections: Winding Section Core Section Tank Section Assembly Section
How manufacturing department starts manufacturing? First, customer gives order to the marketing and sales department. Marketing and sales department makes annual sales plan for WAPDA. Marketing and sales department sends this order to Production planning and control department which makes a master production plan (Month wise). This plan is sent to Material planning section which makes Material requirement plan or Bill of material according to the master production plan. This plan is sent to the purchase department which buys material according to this plan. Material is received in store where quality inspectors from I&QC department check its quality than this material is sent to manufacturing department where manufacturing of transformer starts.

2. Core Section
In the core section upper, side and yoke limbs of the core are made. Raw Material Raw material used for the making of core is M4 grade silicone steel sheet which is an alloy of iron and silicon. Silicon is used to increase the permeability of iron. Machines y Slitting machine is used to cut the big roll of silicon steel sheet in required sizes (widths) according to the rating of transformer. y Power press machines are used to make limbs. They are operated manually. y After cutting of limbs V punching is done on the yoke limb which is called yoke notching. y PLC cutting machines are also used to make limbs. There are two PLC machines. SDRI machine has a capacity of 40,000 limbs per day. L.A.E machine has a capacity of 60,000 limbs per day. In CNC machines length, width and angle are given as input. y L.A.E measuring table is used to check errors in angle, width and length. Iron Losses Iron losses are the flux losses in core. Major factors in iron losses are; y Quality of material. y Bur. y Air gap. To reduce iron losses y y Material should be of good quality. Limbs should be bur free.
Page 18
After cutting of the limbs, they are stacked in a way that there is no air gap between the limbs. All the limbs are joined except the upper yoke limb which is filled in the assembly section. Outer side of the core is varnished to avoid rusting. Core is tightened using upper and lower pressing beams. Then its goes to assembly section.

Tests on Different Materials to Check there Quality y Bird Protection Test This test is used to check the thickness of paint so that cover plate will not short. In this test 8kv voltage is applied to the cover plate for 1 minute if cover plate does not stand it for I minute than it is rejected. Micron Meter Micron meter is also used to check the thickness of paint on cover plate. The reading should be greater than .25mm according to IEC recommendations. Mandrill Test This test is used to check the quality of enamel on enamel copper wire. For mandrill test all sizes of enamel copper wire will be wound over its own diameter for at least 8 to 10 turns and will be checked for zero cracks. Heat Shock Test This test is used to check the quality of enamel on enamel copper wire. The sample prepared for the mandrill test is placed in electric oven at temperature 155 Co to 166 Co for hour and again mandrill test will be performed for test compliance. y Break Down Test The specimen of wire approximately 600mm is doubled and twisted for a distance of 125mm.The tension of wire pair while being twisted and a number of twists will be as per specification (IEC-60317 and BS-4516).Enamel is removed from the wire at one pair of ends and test voltage is applied between the conductors through high port test set as per specification (IEC-60317). Note the reading where break down has occurred.

4. Induced Over Voltage Test This test is used to check the winding insulation. In this test voltage is applied on the L.V side because it is easy to provide. On the L.V side twice the rated voltage at four times the normal frequency is applied. Test time should be greater than 15 seconds and can be found using the formula Time = Rated frequency * 120 Test frequency 5. High Voltage Test: (Separate source voltage) This test is used to check whether winding is insulated from other parts of transformer or not. First, all the L.V terminals and body of transformer are earthed. Than 33kv voltage is applied on the H.V side. IT is checked whether the transformer will stand this voltage for 1 minute or not.

Maintenance Department
Maintenance Department is the mother of all departments as it look to every department, and is being called by every department in case of need. Maintenance department has to maintain every thing of the factory with and without the call of the department. Department in which the problem arises send a request for their problem to maintenance department. Maintenance department generates a work order towards for the solution of their problem. After the matter is solved (repair) maintenance department send a feedback report to the concerned department to inquire their satisfactory. If the department is satisfied then the work order is closed. This all communication is done electronically by software developed by PEL known as MMS. Maintenance Monitoring System(MMS) Receives the maintenance request. Generates the work order. Updates the status. Feedback. There are two types of Maintenances: Preventive Maintenance is a precautionary maintenance to avoid certain breakdowns. This may include service, tuning, oil checking etc of the machines frequently. Breakdown Maintenance is special maintenance or repair in case any machine certainly stops working and is on request.
