Few days back mitred "stacked core" designs superseded cores which used rectangular joints. The development of mitred corner joints and in particular yokes with "V" notches to locate the centre leg allowed less core steel to be used, thus reducing the cost of transformer. Typically with overlap designs sheets are laid in pairs (2 by 2 or 3 by 3). The choice is to make a balance between faster core building and the overall efficiency of the core.

There has been a constant drive to reduce material and manufacturing costs in the design of distribution transformers. When considering the various material in a transformer of paramount importance is the overall cost of the core steel used. This cost is influence by a number of factors, namely the loss factor of the silicon steel, the weight required (affected by the loss factor of the silicon steel) and the design of the core. There are many permutations which can be played between the raw cost of silicon steel, its loss factor, the amount required in a core and hence the material cost of the core.

About 30 years ago Westinghouse, in its research to reduce costs, invented a novel system of cross step-lap. In this design the overlap at the joints is much less than traditional overlap (3 - 5 mm compared to 10 -15 mm} but the shift progresses for 5 to 7 sheets before starting again. A key part of the Westinghouse design is the centre-leg where the notch in the yoke is progressively moved across the yoke according to the number of steps (the centre-leg length

Page 6: Am It

remains the same). There are three principle benefits of Westinghouse step-lap, firstly reduced material costs, as less core steel is required for the same losses, secondly faster assembly of the core and thirdly lower noise.

The building factor used with cores manufactured like this will be between 1.10 and 1.14. whereas hand cut cores will typically use building factors of between 1.25 and 1.30.

This means there is the potential to make a material saving of up to 20%

Winding on-the-leg allows even more material savings as the windings are that much closer to the core less copper (or aluminium) can be used.

NOISE REDUCTIONAn important benefit of step-lap cores is-they exhibit lower noise compared to overlap cores. This can be particularly important as there is increasing requirement to reduces the noise of transformers.

Toroidal Cores (Ring Cores)

Page 7: Am It

Toroidal cores and ring cores offered by us have find usage in mains transformers and are wound from cold rolled grain oriented (CRGO) silicon steel strips to provide optimum performance. These toroidal cores and ring cores are wound by automatic core winding machine and are annealed in high vacuum furnace under protection atmosphere or in continuous tunnel furnace, which results in features like compact volume, light, low magnetic leakage and hum & high efficiency.

Common CRGO Standards TodayEarlier, most CRGO Mills generally used the old AISI/ASTM nomenclature of M3, M4, M5 & M6 for designating the grade of CRGO Steel. However, now standards are being followed where the CRGO nomenclature guarantees Watt Loss/Kg at 1.7 Tesla and 50Hz. Examples are as follows:

IS - 3024: 2006 CRGO grades are designated as follows:

One hundred times the nominal thickness in mmMaterial symbol CG (Conventional Grade) or HP (High

Permeability) grades

Guaranteed value of iron loss

Page 21: Am It

A value 100 times the iron loss at a frequency of 50 Hz and flux density of 1.7 Tesla

IEC Standard Geneva Switzerland International Standard IEC-60404-8.7:2000

This international standard also has magnetic properties for conventional grade and high permeability grade similar to IS-3024:2006

Example of Conventional Grade, of IEC is M.120 27 S5Example of high permeability grade of IEC is M.100 27 P5

Formerly most CRGO Mills were generally using the former AISI/ASTM nomenclature of M3, M4, M5 & M6 for designating the grade of CRGO Steel. However, now most standards follow a system where the CRGO nomenclature guarantees Watt Loss/Kg at 1.7 Tesla and 50Hz. Examples are as follows:

One hundred times the nominal thickness in mm.Material symbol CG (Conventional Grade) or HP (High Permeability) grades. Guaranteed value of iron loss. A value 100 times the iron loss at a frequency of 50 Hz and flux density of 1.7 Tesla.

AMERICAN STANDARDS: - AISI:1983

American standards generally follow the AISI 1983 where Watt Losses are specified in Watts/Lb. at 60 Hz. Even today the M series is the common nomenclature for conventional grades like M3, M4, M5, M6. For HI-B materials American nomenclature is MOH, M1H, M2H, M3H. AK Steel has also come out with TRAN COR DR (Domain Refined) laser scribed steel with following watt losses, (comparable to Nippon ZDKH)

Description Thickness (mm) Guaranteed Losses Typical Watt Loss

At1.7T/50Hz. At1.7T/50Hz.

TRAN-COR-H0 DR 0.23 0.85 0.78

TRAN-COR H-1 DR 0.27 0.95 0.88

TRAN-COR-H-2 DR 0.3 1 0.95

EUROPEAN STANDARDS:- EN 10107 : 2005

This standard will generally be denoted by M followed by 3 digit number and thickness code and ending with S or R

(S is for conventional grades and P is for HI-B grades.)

Example-M 130 27 S: will mean 0.27mm thick with watt loss of 1.30 Watts/Kg. at 1.7T/50 Hz. (conventional grade), 

Similarly M103: will mean 0.27mm thick with watt loss of 1.03 Watts/Kg. at 1.7 T/50Hz. (HI-B grade).

RUSSIAN STANDARDS- GOST21427.1-83

The Russian standard is unique and different from other standards. Their Steel grades have 4 digit numbers ranging

from 3404 to 3415. 3405 to 3408 are the most popular grades being used. Core losses are as follows:- 

Selecting the proper width and grade of CGRO coils.

1. Winding of Toroidal Core as per customers requirements and tolerance for ID, OD and HT.

2. Inspect wound core for dimensions.

3. Arrange cores in SS basket and load the same in annealing furnace.

4. Carry out the annealing cycle as per work instruction laid down.

5. After annealing is done every core is tested for electrical AT/cm value as specified by customer or as per our

internal standards.

6. All readings of electrical values noted in register and proper stickers with core identification no. are stuck on

every toroidal core.

7. All cores packed in wooden boxes with cushioning material and boxes are securely strapped with steel

straps.

8. Packing list is fixed on every box.

Conventional Method of Cutting:-MITRING

A) Do the mitring (cutting at 45 degrees angle) operation as per customer's drawing

and maintaining grain direction along length.

B) Complete the V notching and holing operations as per customer's drawing. 

C) Inspect lamination at every stage as per internal Tolerance Chart or tolerances

specified by customer.

D) Anneal lamination in Roller Health annealing furnace. 

E) Check and record losses after annealing. 

F) Weighment, Final Inspection and Packing of Lamination on wooden pallets with

Lamination covered with poly tarred Hessian and secured with steel strap 

G) Attach copy of packing List on every pallet.

Toroidal Core Process1. Selecting the proper width and grade of CGRO coils.

2. Winding of Toroidal Core as per customers requirements and tolerance for ID,

OD and HT.

3. Inspect wound core for dimensions.

4. Arrange cores in SS basket and load the same in annealing furnace.

5. Carry out the annealing cycle as per work instruction laid down.

6. After annealing is done every core is tested for electrical AT/cm value as specified by customer or as per our

internal standards.

7. All readings of electrical values noted in register and proper stickers with core identification no. are stuck on

every toroidal core.

8. All cores packed in wooden boxes with cushioning material and boxes are securely strapped with steel

straps.

9. Packing list is fixed on every box

Core Frame Assembly Process1. Ensure all core frame parts and insulation boards are available.

2. Assemble core frame as per customers drawing. Ensure proper tightening of

tie rods, cross bolts etc.

3. Wind dummy turns around all three limbs and connect the wire for N.L.L

testing.

4. Connect leads from power source to core connection and also connect

Yokogawa leads to transformer turns.

5. Gradually increase voltage of power source to 250 volts (3 watt meter method).

6. Observe N.L.L. of each phase and also note the current readings. Note frequency.

7. Transfer data to P.C to get a comprehensive report.
