Transformer FAQ

We will answer common question about transformer.
Please refer before question laying upon.


Q1.  About exchange recommendation time of maintenance of transformer and attached parts
Transformer is one of the things which are the most important in transformer substation facilities apparatus, and the maintenance is important.
It can detect the damage and abnormality of transformer early by carrying out daily life or periodical maintenance, check and driving monitoring, but is useful for improvement in reliability of power supply by updating at time when it is more appropriate about accessories.

■Role of transformer accessories

1. We deal before developing into big accident disorder and prevent you from affecting power supply.
2. We minimize the damage of transformer and facilitate restoration.

Generally update time of the transformer body was 20-30 years and improved reliability of transformer even more and gathered up as our suggestion economically from maintenance, the check top about update recommendation time of accessories thought to be advantage.
(person wanting detailed material, please refer to Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association technical data JEM-TR197)

We maintain including transformer made in other companies from supervoltage transformer to dry process small capacity transformer as manufacturer specialized in transformer.


Q2.  About saving of electricity rate by update to low loss transformer
As transformer is 97% or more of high efficiency apparatuses, we are apt to ignore loss, but consumption loss (electricity loss) occurs because it is facilities apparatus which always runs unlike motors such as load apparatuses.

Our company develops low loss form transformer that planned electricity loss reduction and suggests total cost reduction by replacing with existing article.

■Loss of transformer

[no load loss]
Loss (it is loss of firm resolution and is also known as iron loss) to occur in excitation (applying) state to quantity of load irrelatively
[load loss]
Loss (also known as copper loss) to depend on electric current (load) which is mainly called off to winding

■It is way of thinking to becoming purpose of use of transformer and low loss

[when used as daytime factory load]
We recommend that we reduce loss in night light load.
We reduce no load loss including kokoritsu*sokoban and amorphous firm resolution transformer in conventional 30-70%.
[when we use to the full regardless of the night and day]
We recommend general efficiency form transformer that raised efficiency in high load band.
We mainly reduce one-day total loss by reducing winding loss (copper loss).

Our company plans 10% or more of loss decreases of that of the conventional company products by transformer having 80% or more of mean load factor.

■Calculation method of consumption loss

Loss (W) = no load loss (Wi) +k X k X load loss (Wc) of transformer
k: Transformer load factor (load factor (%)/100)
In the case of the following factory load pattern, electricity consumption loss of transformer per day becomes next.
No load loss = 24 X Wi
Load loss = 0.8 X 0.8 X Wc X 9+0.15 X 0.15 X Wc X 15




Is disadvantageous, and, as for our low loss form transformer, load is disadvantageous no load more than 20% (30% of standard values); of 10% or more (15% of standard values) fall low.

Q3.  What is amorphous transformer?
Amorphous transformer is transformer of energy-saving form that about 1/4 can reduce no load loss conventionally in comparison with nokei sokobanhenoshiki by using amorphous alloy as firm resolution materials. It is low loss than amorphous alloy hakei sokoban, but on the other hand invites upsizing and high material cost because saturated magnetic induction and fortune-telling moment are low. In addition, it becomes higher, and processing cost becomes higher-cost than Kay sokobanhenoshiki as the hardness is fragile highly.
