Transformer provided with a taps panel, an electric-insulation method for a taps panel of a dry distribution transformer, and a taps panel for a dry distribution transformer
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a dry distribution transformer comprising a housing ( 1 ′), a coil ( 200 ), a sealed compartment ( 100 ) and a taps panel ( 110 ) associated to the coil ( 200 ). The taps panel ( 110 ) has an electrostatic shield ( 107 ) and is positioned inside the sealed compartment ( 100 ), the sealed compartment ( 100 ) being filled with a solid dielectric material and protected by a cover ( 120 ). One also describes an electric insulation method for a taps panel of a dry distribution transformer and taps panel for a dry distribution transformer filled with removable insulating resin. The coil ( 200 ) has a grounded ( 115 ) electrostatic shield ( 107 ).
1. A dry distribution transformer comprising at least:
a housing, the housing comprising at least one coil positioned inside the housing;
a sealed compartment, the sealed compartment being a protrusion that begins at the housing, the sealed compartment being provided with a cavity;
a taps panel positioned inside the cavity of the sealed compartment, the taps panel comprising at least two fixation elements of the turn, a connection bridge, and a fixation element for fixing the connection bridge; and
a fixation plate positioned inside the cavity of the sealed compartment;
wherein:
the taps panel is electrically associated with the coil via an encapsulation of the at least two fixation elements of the turn with the coil and via a first electric connection between the at least one fixation element of the turn and turns of the coil,
the connection bridge establishes a second electric connection between the at least two fixation elements of the turn, the connection bridge being fastened to the fixation elements of the turn via the fixation element for fixing the connection bridge,
the cavity is being filled with a removable solid dielectric material, and
a sealing is operatively associated to the fixation plate so as to seal the cavity and the removable solid dielectric material therein.
2. The dry distribution transformer according to claim 1 , wherein the cavity is protected by a cover.
3. The dry distribution transformer according to claim 1 , wherein the fixation plate is associated to the internal portion of the sealed compartment, the fixation plate comprising a groove for inserting the sealing.
