LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

History:

 

Subject was originally incorporated in the year 2001 as Sole Proprietory Concern in the name and style of ‘Universal Transformers’.  The name was changed to the present.

 

WEBSITE DETAILS

 

MANUFACTURING :

 

Core Assembly:


The magnetic core is built up of laminated punched out high-grade coils. The laminations have mitered ends and annealed to relieve mechanical stresses and restore magnetic quality.


Universal Power Transformers has pioneered the practice of banding the core together using a special process, and using epoxy to cure the assembly together at the limbs and yoke region.


This results in-

Reduction in the no load losses by an additional 12%.

Reduction in the sound level by as much as 5 db.

Reduction in the overall size of the core so as to reduce the size of the transformer.

Reduction in magnetizing current.

 

Core is available in various grades depending on loss specifications of the customer. Universal Power Transformers has experience in designing and procuring cores using all grades of electrical steel available (M4 to ZDKH).

 


Windings:


At the heart of the transformer are the Windings. The windings are made of 99.99% electrolytically pure annealed copper strips and insulated with kraft paper for oil immersed transformers and enamel fibre glass cover for dry type transformers.


The L.V. coils are transposed at the center to equalize resistance thereby reducing circulating current losses and eliminating hot spots. Effective and effective cooling is ensured by providing sufficient axial radial ducts for coils. Tappings are provided on the H.V.side of the coils for tap variations either onload or offload. The coils are stiffened with webbing cotton tapes to withstand mechanical forces during short circuit conditions. Additionally, the insulation scheme is made to withstand impulse voltages. These are very important factors in the Indian electricity scenario as power fluctuations are rampant across the country.


Additionally, we take care to minimize leakage reactance by maintaining equal height of the H.V and L.V coils for amp turns balance.

 

 

Core Coil Assembly:


After the Windings and the core assembly are complete; the windings are inserted on individual limbs of the core. This assembly is called the core coil assembly, and is known as the "active part" of the transformer.

 

Tap leads are brought out from the windings after insertion on the core by brazing a multi-strand copper that is flexible are either insulated using kraft paper or by kraft crepe paper tubes.

 

The leads of the transformer are properly routed, run and secured to withstand the short circuit forces.

 

The entire assembly of core and coils are heated in the oven to ensure perfect removal of moisture and proper shrinkage. This enables the complete assembly to withstand normal operating forces in service and as mandated in the standards.

 

 

Tanks and Radiators

Tanks are made from either hot rolled steel or CRCA sheets (In the case of corrugated tank construction).They are made from sheet thickness varying from 5mm to 15 mm (depending on the rating of the transformer).

 

Proper welding ensures that the transformer tank is leak proof and able to withstand an internal pressure of 7 PSI. The welding process is of high quality both in material and skill conforming to ASTM standards. This helps to ensure the tanks are leak proof for the life of the product.

 

As most transformers are outdoor type, Universal Power Transformers shot blasts all transformer tanks and ensures that primer is applied within 30 mts of shot blasting and painting is done immediately thereafter. Additionally, all the inside surfaces are coated varnish or lacquer. As per customer's request, Universal Power transformers can paint the tank with an epoxy-based paint for saline or corrosive atmospheres.
