Bringing the energy safely to the consumer: A basic requirement applicable to all power transformers. However, every single one is unique – designed according to individual factors such as voltage, power, climate, system topography, sound level and many more. Siemens is your partner, who picks up these requirements converting them into convincing solutions with maximum quality. Power transformers that render their service reliably at site. Cost-efficient and safe throughout decades.
First of all, there is the fulfillment of the quality claim to which we have committed ourselves without compromises.
Every factory manufacturing Siemens Transformers puts our quality management system into practice. And only those transformers that have successfully passed all the comprehensive tests will then go into practical application.
Siemens offers a complete service – from advice and design via manufacture, transport and commissioning up to our Transformer Life Management.
The precision of core manufacture is a decisive factor for the later efficiency of the transformer. Siemens Transformers are manufactured as coretypes, with the limbs aranged at the same level and interonnected via yokes.
We are using high-grade cold-rolled laminates. Depending on the requirement also lasertreated ones.
When cutting the laminates ,we rely on most modern numerical control systems, enabling the so-called step-lap-technique, with the consequence of an especially appropriate flow of characteristic.
For high electrical and mechanical stress windings are made of disc coils; for low voltages the use of layer windings has proven successful.
To adjust the ratio safely and easily to system conditions, Siemens Power Transformers have tapped winding. In this way the ratio can be changed gradually - either in no-load condition via off-load tap-changers or under load by means of on-load tap-changers.
Another main component besides the core and the winding is the tank: It accomodates the active part and the oil filling.
The core, windings, pressed parts, tap-changer and connecting cables make up the active part of the transformer.
The drying of the active part is done according to the vaper phase procedure.
After that the active part is installed in the tank and filled with high-grade insulating oil under vacuum. The transformer is now ready for testing.
