Full wave bridge rectifier -
Rectifier is a circuit which convert alternating voltage into the direct voltage.
There are three types of rectifier circuit
  1. ‌ half wave rectifier
  2. ‌ full wave rectifier 
  3. ‌ full wave bridge rectifier 
In this article we are going to discuss working principle and construction of full wave bridge  rectifier.


Full wave bridge rectifier
Full wave bridge rectifier convert sinusoidal ac voltage into pulsating dc voltage.bridge rectifier  conduct in both half cycle of applied ac voltage i.e for positive and negative half cycle of ac voltage unlike half wave rectifier which conduct on only one half cycle at a time
Construction of full wave bridge rectifier
Construction of bridge rectifier is simple,it supplied with ac source and  uses four diode D1,D2,D3,D4 which connects in antiparallel manner
to form  bridge.
Connection digarm show in below  figure
Working principle of full wave bridge rectifier
At the positive half cycle of applied ac voltage  .diode D1, D3 are forward biase, diode and diode D2,D4 reverse biase hence diode D1,D3 conduct in first positive half cycle because diode conduct only in forward biase i.e when voltage  applied from anode to cathode.due to this. For first positive half cycle   D1 D3 conduct and delivery voltage at output terminal .in below circuit we connected 1 kilo ohm resistor .
During Negative half cycle of ac voltage :
When opposite polarity of ac voltage means for Negative half  diode D1, D3 becomes reverse biased and D2 D4 are forward biase so diode D2 D4 conduct in negative half cycle producing output and delivery pulsating dc output at load .
Full wave bridge rectifier conduct on other half cycle of ac voltage and we get continues output in both conducting half cycle of applied ac voltages

Why Tapping are provided on transformer winding? And what is benefit of Tapping

Regulating voltage is required in power system due to following reason

1) to supply required voltage to load
2) to compensate voltage drops due to           load fluctuations
3) to compensate input voltage supply to load
Most of electrical loads, equipment are designed to work satisfactorily on constant  voltage. So it is necessary to keep consumer end  terminal voltage levels in prescribed limits.
Voltage control is performed by changing transformer turn ratio. And this is achieved by providing Tapping on the transformer winding. Tapping are either provided on  primary or on secondary winding of transformer.

Voltage per turn is very high in large transformer, even changing single turn at LV  can achieve large voltage change in secondary.

Why tap changer is connected to on HV side winding of power transformer?

Low voltage winding (LV)  being inner winding in core type transformer so it difficult to access for tapping purpose. Hence tapping are provided on HV winding on core type transformer.
Providing taps to changes voltage levels called as tap changing of transformer

Tap changing of transformer are two type
1) No-load tap changing
2) On load tap changing
In No-load tap changing transformer load thrown off before tap changing done and other hand in on load tap changing load remains on transformer while performing tap changing

How tap changers works in transformer?

The principle of changing output voltage is base on number of  turn in primary or secondary
Let discuss V1 N1 and V2, N2 are primary and secondary quantities
If N1 decreases, emf per turn in primary increases hence secondary voltage becomes  (V1/N1) *N2 increases on other hand in  N2 increased secondary emf  V2 increased and secondary emf equal to V1/N1 * N2 increases
Hence decreasing primary number of turn have same effect as increasing secondary numbers of turn

TESTING POWER TRANSFORMERS:
High-voltage transformers are some of the most important (and expensive) pieces of equipment required for operating a power system. The purchase, preparation, assembly, operation and maintenance of transformers represent a large expense to the power  system.

Why testing of transformer is necessary before putting in service? 

When transformers are received from the factory or reallocated  from another location it is necessary to verify that each transformer is dry, no damage has occurred during shipping,  internal connections have not been loosened, the transformer’s ratio, polarity, and impedance agree with its nameplate, its major insulation structure is intact, wiring  insulation has not been bridged, and the transformer is ready for service.
Physical size, voltage class, and kVA rating are the major factors that dictate the amount of preparation required to put transformers in service. Size and kVA rating also dictate the kind and number of auxiliary devices a transformer will require. All of these factors affect the amount of testing necessary to certify that a transformer is ready to be
energized and placed in service.

There are a multitude of checks and tests performed as a transformer is being assembled at a substation.
Some tests and procedures may be performed by specialists during the assembly phase. Special tests, other than those listed, may also be required. Many require special equipment and expertise that construction electricians do not have and are not expected to provide. Some tests are performed by an assembly crew, while other tests are done by
the person(s) making the final electrical tests on the transformers.

 The following information is not intended to describe, or include, the details for performing the entire array of tests needed to prepare transformers for service, only the tests that may be performed by field personnel. Even though details have been limited, descriptions should allow field personnel to perform, or assist in performing, the
basic tests they may be asked to do. Procedures and tests are described somewhat generically, but apply to most transformers in one way or another. Also, the following test descriptions provide an anchor point from which to ask for help when needed.
 The following items are discussed or described:
  • Nameplate Data Power Meggering
  • Auxiliary Components and Wire Checks Lightning Arrestors
  • Hand Meggering  Temperature Devices
  • CT Tests Winding Temperature and Thermal Image
  • Bushing Power Factoring Remote Temperature Indication
  • Transformer Power Factoring  Auxiliary Power
  • Voltage Ratio  Automatic Transfer Switch
  • Polarity  Cooling System
  • Transformer-Turns Ratio  Bushing Potential Device
  • Tap Changers Auxiliary-Equipment Protection and Alarms
  • Short-Circuit Impedance  Overall Loading
  • Zero Sequence Trip Checks
  • Winding Resistance
Before proceding with transformer measurements the test engineer will become familiar with the safety rules of Section

THESE RULES MUST BE FOLLOWED FOR ALL TEST PROCEDURES.

Following is an approximate sequence for transformer testing:

1. Inspect transformer and parts for shipping damage and moisture.
2. Check nameplate and prints for proper voltages and external phasing
connection to the line or bus.
3. Check calibration of all thermal gauges and hot-spot heater, bridge RTDs and
associated alarm contacts. Contact settings should be similar to the following:
  • One stage runs all the time (forced cooling)
  • 2nd stage at 80°C
  • 3rd stage at 90°C
  • Hot-spot alarm 100°C (trip at 110°C when applicable)
  • Top-oil alarm 80°C at 55°C rise and 75°C at 65°C rise
  • OA = no fans or pumps
  • FA =fans running
  • FOA = fans and pumps running
4. Check and Megger all wiring point to point: Fans, pumps, alarms, heaters, tap
changers, and all other devices on the transformer and interconnecting cables
5. All banks above 150 MVA should be vacuum dried. Do not apply test voltages
to the winding during the vacuum drying process. Make certain the terminals
are shorted and grounded during oil circulation because of the large amount of static charge that can build up on the winding.
6. After the tank has been filled with oil, confirm that an oil sample was sent to
the Chemical Lab and that its results are entered in the bank test reports. Note
the oil level and temperature at completion of filling.
7. Power operate to verify proper rotation of pumps and fans and correct operation of the under load (UL) tap changer, when provided. Also, check heater, alarms and all other devices for proper operation. 

12. Following are the winding tests to be performed:
  • Ratio and Polarity (Voltage Method or TTR). The preference is that all large
  • Power Transformers (>1 MVA) be tested with TTR test set.
  • Impedance
  • DC winding resistance
  • Megger and Power Factor windings, bushing and arrestors. Note: Wait until 24 hours after completion of oil filling for Power Factor testing.
13. Load CT circuits overall and flash for polarity. 
14. Before energization, trip-check bank protection schemes and make sure the gas-collection relay is free of gas.
15. When energizing a bank or picking up load, monitor bank currents and voltages,
including UL tap-changer operation.
16. Check proper phasing and voltage of the bank to the system before load is
picked up. When possible, large transformers (>1 MVA) should remain
energized for eight hours before carrying load.
17. Make in-service checks on meters and relays.
18. Turn in revised prints and test reports, which should include the following:
  • All test data
  • Moisture and oil data
  • Problems incurred
  • In-service data
  • Time energized and release to operation
  • Any unusual problem that information will aid in future equipment testing

TRANSFORMER NAMEPLATE DATA and TERMINAL MARKINGS:

Collecting nameplate data is not testing, but it must be done for all equipment. This data is recorded by the person(s) performing the equipment tests. The act of recording the nameplate data also helps test personnel familiarize themselves with the unit to be tested.
For a transformer, much of the needed information can be obtained from the main nameplate.
(typical on large transformers). Bushings, fuses, fan and pump motors, lightning
arrestors, and disconnect switches will also have individual nameplates. An attempt  should be made to fill in all pertinent spaces on the data sheet.
Terminal marking of power transformers is determined by ANSI standards. Two-
winding transformers have terminals designated by H and X (e.g. H1, H2, X1,X2,)
where H is the higher voltage-rated winding and X is the lower voltage winding. As viewed from the high-voltage side, H1 bushing terminal will be located on the right. Three-or-more-winding transformers will have winding designation H, X, Y and Z, where H is the
high-voltage winding (or, the highest kVA-rated winding in case windings have the same voltage rating) and X, Y, and Z are for decreasing winding voltage ratings.

HAND MEGGERING (DC Hi-Potential Insulation Testing):

Most hand-crank Meggers have output voltages from 250 to 500 volts DC. All wiring on transformers should be Meggered at 250 or 500 VDC. Meggering transformer wiring is emphasized because of the numerous small terminal
boxes mounted on large power transformers. Conduit connecting them together can have moisture accumulation or water leaks. In addition, when wiring is pulled through the metal conduit on a transformer, occasionally the insulation is scraped down to the bare wire. Also note that any box mounted on a vertical surface should have a small drain hole drilled at the bottom in case water leaks in from a loose conduit joint. Larger boxes or cabinets usually have resistive heaters and air-vent holes covered by screens to prevent moisture accumulation.Terminal boxes mounted on horizontal surfaces must have good
weather seals for their covers. Any gasket with questionable ability to provide a
watertight seal should be replaced.

TRANSFORMERS CT TESTS:

Transformer bushing CTs should be tested using the Current Ratio test method before the transformer has been completely assembled. CTs should be tested before they are mounted on the transformer. In some cases, CTs may have to be tested by connecting
test leads to both ends of an installed bushing. This can be difficult! If the CTs are already mounted in the transformer, large (high-capacity) current-testing leads can be pulled through the CT centers before bushings have been inserted.
Occasionally it is not possible to perform a Current Ratio test. CT tap ratios can be
verified by applying a voltage across the full CT winding – a Tap Voltage Ratio test -- then measuring the voltage drop across each individual tap. This is a simple test to perform, and voltage ratios will be directly proportional to the CT turns ratio between taps.
This Tap Voltage Ratio test, however, should not be chosen as a substitute for a Current Ratio test. The voltage method should be regarded as the last alternative. Testing the equipment at rated current offers more assurance that it will perform as expected when placed in service. The Current Ratio method reflects this philosophy.The Tap Voltage method cannot establish true orientation
(polarity) of the installed CT, or test the primary to secondary current ratio, and leaves some points unverified.
In addition to Tap Voltage Ratio, a secondary Tap Current Ratio test can be performed.
For this test, rated or less current is injected through a tap input and the output current of the full CT winding is measured by transformer action. It is equivalent to the procedure used for performing a Short-Circuit Impedance test on an autotransformer.

CT POLARITY:

It is still necessary to verify CT polarity. One method used to establish CT polarity in power transformers is commonly referred to as "Flashing the CTs." This test can be performed by applying 6-to-12 volts DC to the transformer bushings, using a hot stick to make and break the test circuit. An automobile battery is often most convenient because
work vehicles are usually available at the job site, but a lantern battery will work as well. The transformer winding resistance is usually enough to limit the current flow from a 12-volt car battery, but adding series (current-limiting) resistance (a load box) to the test circuit is advisable in any test circuit with an automotive battery.
Be aware that the DC test circuit will generate a voltage kick when disconnected. Take precautions to prevent electric shock. If performing this test directly on CTs, always
include a current-limiting resistance (a load box) in the flash lead connections. Lantern batteries have high internal resistance and don’t need an extra series resistor. Arc flash on a power transformer can be limited if the transformer windings are short circuited on the side opposite those being flashed through.

SINGLE-PHASE VOLTAGE RATIO, POLARITY and IMPEDANCE
MEASUREMENTS:

Ratio, polarity, and impedance measurements are compared with nameplate data to verify their correctness and to ensure that there is no hidden shipping damage, that the transformer field assembly is correct, and that the transformer is ready for service. In addition, these test data reports become a valuable tool when compared with later diagnostic tests used to assess transformer condition.
Single-phase test procedures can be used to measure the ratio and impedance of two-winding transformers, three-winding transformers, autotransformers, and
three-phase transformers. Moreover, in the case of three-phase transformers (with a Wye connection) and grounding banks, zero-sequence impedance measurements are made with the single-phase procedure. Comparisons between measurements are useful when single-phase tests are made on three identical transformers or on each phase of a? three-phase transformer, as it is unlikely that each single-phase unit or each phase of a three-phase transformer would have sustained the same damage.

SINGLE-PHASE POLARITY 

                    Fig A            Fig B  

Single-Phase Transformer Polarities
Single-Phase Transformer Polarities

The polarity designation of each transformer winding is determined by the relative direction of instantaneous current or voltage as seen at the transformer terminals. For example, primary and secondary leads are said to have the same polarity when, at a given
instant, current enters the primary lead in question, the instantaneous induced voltage in the secondary is increasing when the impressed voltage on the primary is increasing, or conversely, if they are both decreasing at the same instant.
Transformer polarity relates to how winding leads are brought out to bushing terminals.
These connections are determined by transformer design, winding directions and internal-lead clearance requirements. Transformer polarity is either subtractive or additive. If the instantaneous polarity (as defined above) of adjacent terminals is the same, transformer polarity is subtractive (See Fig. A). If diagonally opposite terminals of a transformer
have the same instantaneous polarity, transformer polarity is additive (See Fig.B). Transformer winding polarity locations are important when identical windings on a transformer are to be paralleled, when paralleling transformers with identical ratios and voltage ratings, when determining three-phase connections of transformers, and to establish the correct connections for three-phase transformers that operate in parallel with the power system. Polarity between transformer windings may be determined either by comparison with a transformer of known polarity, DC flashing or the AC method.

TRANSFORMER POLARITY BY DC FLASHING METHOD:

Single-Phase Transformer Polarities
Single-Phase Transformer Polarities

 

The DC Flashing test uses 1.5-V to 6-V dry-cell batteries and a DC voltmeter with 1.5-V to 10-V scales. Meter deflection directions will be more discernible if the meter’s mechanical zero position can be adjusted in an upscale direction to allow deflecting in both directions. As shown in Fig. the test is conducted by connecting the voltmeter to the transformer low-voltage terminals and connecting the battery intermittently to the high-voltage winding.
transformer polarity is subtractive if the meter shows an upscale kick when test connection SW is closed and a downscale kick when test connection SW is opened.
In this case bushings “A and B” would be labeled “X1 and X2,” respectively as polarity terminals are adjacent. Transformer polarity would be additive if the meter shows a downscale kick when test connection SW is closed and upscale kick when test connection SW is opened. In this case bushings “A and B” would be labeled “X2 and X1” respectively as polarity terminals are diagonally opposite.

Note: The inductive kick when the battery circuit is opened will be much larger than when the battery circuit is closed.
Adequate meter deflection will require a dry-cell battery that is in good condition, low-resistance connections to bushing terminals, and positive make-and-break connections to terminal H1. The usual procedure is for the person operating the battery connections to say, “Make” when connecting the positive battery terminal to the H1 bushing and “Break” when opening the connection. Then, observation of meter deflections determines transformer-winding polarity. Also, verify meter terminal markings by measuring a dry cell prior to testing.

TAP CHANGERS:

Tap changers allow transformer input and output voltages to be matched with the rest of the power system or to adjust voltage levels between power sources and customers. They allow transformers to be applied in situations where voltage control would be verydifficult without utilizing additional expensive equipment..
Tap changers are either “no load” (NL) or “under load” (UL) control devices. No load means that the transformer must be de-energized before an operator may change tap positions. Under load means that tap positions can be changed while the transformer is energized and carrying power. UL tap changers allow transformers to be used as voltage
regulating devices; however, the other method for voltage regulation on the power system is through the use of shunt capacitors and reactors using circuit switchers and/or breakers to switch them on and off line While Voltage Ratio, Impedance, Resistance, and TTR tests are being performed, the tapchanger
mechanism must be operated to get test data under all available tap settings.
When the Ratio test is performed, all possible tap positions should be checked for both NL and UL tap changers. This is especially important for a new transformer. Limited assistance may be available in the manufacturer's instruction books for personnel who are not familiar with these mechanisms.
When a NL tap changer is tested, a small amount of current is applied to excite the tap winding, and a meter monitoring the output winding is carefully observed to determine where windings are dropped out and picked up during tap changes. This check should be used to verify that tap-changer contacts are properly centered, and that they actually do
open and make up at the correct point between tap changes. All tap changers must have their contacts firmly and correctly placed when in a tap position. On some tap changers there is some spring pressure felt when manually changing from tap to tap. This pressure should be consistent on manually operated (NL) tap changers when moving from one position to another, either up or down. Note that NL tap changers actually create an open circuit during tap change transitions. If they do not appear to operate correctly, investigate!  When testing UL tap changers, excitation current should be monitored continuously to verify that the winding is NEVER open-circuited.
Both local and remote operation and indication of UL tap changers must be verified.
Remote operation from the control house should be tested completely. The limits of the control should be checked to see that the tap changer will not go beyond its stops. Check SCADA control over the entire operating range. Make sure that the local and remote position readings match. Check for operation with the supervisory cutoff switch in both
the "on" and "off" positions.

IP Rated Enclosures Explained
What is an IP rating?
IP (or "Ingress Protection") ratings are defined in international standard EN 60529 (British BS EN 60529:1992, European IEC 60509:1989). They are used to define levels of sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures against intrusion from foreign bodies (tools, dirt etc) and moisture.
What do the numbers in an IP Rating mean?
The numbers that follow IP each have a specific meaning. The first indicates the degree of protection (of people) from moving parts, as well as the protection of enclosed equipment from foreign bodies. The second defines the protection level that the enclosure enjoys from various forms of moisture (drips, sprays, submersion etc). The tables below should help make sense of it:
IP Ratings - what they mean.
IP Rated Enclosures - quick find chart
A number replaced by x indicates that the enclosure is not rated for that spec.
First Digit (intrusion protection)
  1. No special protection<
  2. Protection from a large part of the body such as a hand (but no protection from deliberate access); from solid objects greater than 50mm in diameter.
  3. Protection against fingers or other object not greater than 80mm in length and 12mm in diameter.
  4. Protection from entry by tools, wires etc, with a diameter of 2.5 mm or more.
  5. Protection against solid bodies larger than 1mm (eg fine tools/small etc).
  6. Protected against dust that may harm equipment.
  7. Totally dust tight.
Second Digit (moisture protection)
  1. No protection.
  2. Protection against condensation
  3. Protection against water droplets deflected up to 15° from vertical
  4. Protected against spray up to 60° from vertical.
  5. Protected against water spray from all directions.
  6. Protection against low pressure water jets (all directions)
  7. Protection against strong water jets and waves.
  8. Protected against temporary immersion.
  9. Protected against prolonged effects of immersion under pressure.
Our range
While we cover a huge range of electrical enclosures, our most common IP ratings are probably 65, 66, 67 and 68. So for quick reference, these are defined below:
  • IP65 Enclosure - IP rated as "dust tight" and protected against water projected from a nozzle.
  • IP66 Enclosure - IP rated as "dust tight" and protected against heavy seas or powerful jets of water.
  • IP 67 Enclosures - IP rated as "dust tight" and protected against immersion.
  • IP 68 Enclosures - IP rated as "dust tight" and protected against complete, continuous submersion in water.
