We take pride in our reputation for excellent customer service, quality products, and innovative solutions.

Design

A highly innovative and experienced design team makes sure the international standards are adhered to throughout the process

Design Capabilities & Facilities

A highly innovative and experienced design team ensures use of FEM analysis and Test result analysis on regular basis to get an accurate estimation of performance figures. Every transformer is designed to actual dimensions in 3D CAD system package to ensure the correct fixing of all fittings and accessories. 2D drawings are then produced from these 3D models for manufacturing and purchase purpose. 3D and 2D FEM analysis are used for Electromagnetic and Electrostatic distribution to finalise the winding, insulation and Core clamp structure design.

Short Circuit Strength

Transformer windings are severely affected by electromagnetic force due to short-circuit currents passing through the windings.

Short-circuit tests have been conducted on some of our power transformers by KEMA in the Netherlands. This shows the integrity of Design calculations and process followed by Federal Power Transformers.

Manufacturing

The core employs a mitred step-lap design ensuring minimum noise and loss level

The Core

Each transformer core is produced by using interleaved laminations of cold rolled, grain orientated, low loss electrical sheet steel conforming to BSEN 10107 and other international standards. The core employs a mitred step-lap design ensuring minimum noise and loss levels with uniform flux distribution throughout the magnetic circuit.

Windings & Insulation

All windings are manufactured to exacting standards in order to maintain strict dimensional tolerances. Clamping to a pre-determined load pressure during manufacture ensures that each winding is able to withstand the excessive axial forces which may result from external and short-circuit events.

All principal components of insulation are prefabricated from electrical grade insulating board and are pre-shrunk to ensure electrical and mechanical stability throughout the temperatures found in operational service.

 

The completed core-coil assembly is dried in a PLC controlled vacuum drying chamber

Each core-coil assembly is rigidly braced using steel frames, distributing the axial clamping forces around the entire circumference of the windings. Optimum dielectric strength is achieved via processing in accordance with rigorous in-house quality procedures.

Tanking

The completed core-coil assembly is dried in a PLC controlled vacuum drying oven. The dried active parts are fitted into the transformer tank and oil is filled under vacuum through a filtration machine.

Final Assembly

When the tanking process is completed all accessories are fitted.

After the final assembly process is completed the oil is filtered again and allowed to settle before the transformer is moved to the test bay.
