VENTILATED DRY TYPE TRANSFORMER

Applicable Standards

• IEC (International Electro technical Commission)

• IS (Indian Standard)

Introduction

Kotsons Pvt. Ltd. in collaboration with E. I. DuPont, U.S.A. has developed Ventilated Dry Type transformers in
India with a DuPont ReliatraN® branded solution.

ReliatraN® Brand Transformers are manufactured with UL® Certified Insulation Materials and Systems, by a
network of ISO 9000 Certified Manufacturers worldwide, meeting the highest of International Standards for
Quality, Design, Construction and Performance.

Kotsons Pvt. Ltd. is the first and only Operating Licensed Manufacturer of DuPont's ReliatraN® Brand
Transformers in India.

Description

Kotsons manufactures Ventilated Dry Type transformer ranging from 40 KVA to 5000 KVA with voltage class of
33 KV. These transformers are fitted in Enclosure confirming to IP 21 to IP 33 for Indoor location and IP 45 for
out door location. Kotsons Ventilated Dry Type Transformer are totally maintenance free and safe from fire as
material used are metals, ceramics, fiberglass and resin. It is environment friendly as there is no oil, hence
handling becomes easier and there are no chances of spillages and leakages and there is minimal non toxic
smoke in case of fire.

Kotsons offers Ventilated Dry Type Transformers with Class H / C insulation which
can bear heat upto 180 / 220 Deg C and can be used in humid and chemically
polluted atmosphere.

Kotsons can supply Indoor/Outdoor, 3 phase, 50/60 Hz, Resin Impregnated, AN/FA
cooled, step up/step down, double wound with Cu conductor transformer from 40
KVA to 5000 KVA upto 33 KV Class with H / C Class Insulation and designed to
withstand Short Circuit, & Impulse Test in accordance to IEC / IS.

Process & Core :

Core structure is of nonaging, Cold Rolled Grain Oriented, high permeability silicon
steel. All core laminations are free of burr and staked without gaps The core
assembly is painted with a protective paint to protect against corrosion.

Winding :

LV & HV Windings are done in dust free air conditioned winding

shops. Rectangular copper strips are used for LV winding
insulated with Nomex® while HV winding are of copper wire
insulated with Nomex® or suitable material for temperature rise
if wrapping is not possible due to small diameter.

VPI:

The Transformer coils are thoroughly dried in an PLC controlled

oven and the coils are then completely sealed with an insulating
Varnish / Resin (Class H/C) through an vacuum pressure
impregnation process. Kotsons is having a state of art PLC
controlled VPI (Vacuum Pressure Impregnation) Plant. The VPI
process fully penetrates and seals the coils into a high strength
composite unit for complete environment protection, hence can
be used in humid and chemically polluted atmosphere. Coils are
then cured to develop bonding.

Testing :

After the Core- Coil assembly. All transformers are tested for routine test. Kotsons has in house facilities for
conducting all routine tests as per IEC & IS. Kotsons is equipped with adequate digital readout measuring
devices wherever required and the digital sampling techniques with computer calculations. Precision digital
meters such as digital power analyser, WT -130 of Yokogawa make are used for measuring of load losses,
Impedance Voltage, No load losses, and no load currents. KPL is having in house Partial Discharge (PD) testing
facility.

Warranty :

KPL VDT Transformer are guaranteed for satisfactorily performance for a

period of 5 years* from the date of dispatch. Any part found defective during
this period, as a consequence of bad design, manufacturing or workmanship
should be repaired, free of cost, by us within mutually agreed schedule.

* Warrantee for 5 Years on active part only.

Environmental Impact Operational Aspects

 • Transformers insulated with NOMEX® brand materials are extremely safe, even when exposed to fire.

• High flame resistance, and low smoke and no toxic off-gasses.

• Class H & C ventilated dry type transformers can be built smaller, reducing the footprint to the
environment, conserving space.

• Insulation is friendly to use during manufacturing - no skin irritants or surface chemicals.

End-of-Life Aspects

• NOMEX® insulation can be easily disposed of by incineration or burial, since it is inert to the
environment.

• NOMEX® insulated VDT transformers have low volumes of insulation, eliminating the burden of
disposal of large amounts of resin.

Quality :

KOTSONS PVT. LTD., is certified for ISO 9001:2000 by DET NORSKE VERITAS, B.V., NETHERLANDS. Kotsons
has set up a complete quality management system to offer the best customer satisfaction. Each and every
Ventilated Dry Type Transformer is identified with ReliatraN ® identification labels.

Note :

• The dimensions and weights shown above apply to a typical range of KST (Kotsons standard
transformers) design to the specification IS : 2026. As all transformers are usually design and built to
customers specification their exact dimensions and weights can vary.

• Due to improvements continuously taking place in design, the details given here may vary marginally
 irrespective of Length, Width, Height and Total Weight . However the variations will be within
permissible tolerance limits as per IS 2026 latest.
