5.4 Technical Parameter Table of Fuse (Recommended Selection and Configuration Table for the Company's Oil-Immersed Fuses)

The high-voltage side of the American-style pad-mounted transformer is provided with full-range protection by the series connection of a backup protection fuse and a plug-in fuse, featuring a simple principle, economy and reliability. The backup protection fuse is an oil-immersed high-voltage current-limiting fuse with a large breaking capacity, which only operates in the event of an internal transformer fault. The plug-in fuse is equipped with a dual-sensitive fuse link that provides dual protection against overcurrent and over-temperature. After the dual-sensitive fuse link blows, the fuse core can be conveniently replaced on site.

6. Substation Structure

The cabinet structure of this product consists of three parts: the high-voltage compartment, the low-voltage compartment and the oil tank compartment. The high-voltage compartment contains high-voltage cable accessories, load switches, off-circuit tap changers, plug-in fuses, pressure relief valves, oil level gauges, oil temperature gauges and oil drain valves. The low-voltage compartment is equipped with low-voltage bushings, low-voltage metering instruments, circuit breakers and capacitive compensation devices. The oil tank compartment houses transformer windings and iron cores as well as radiators; the high-voltage load switches and fuses are all installed inside the oil tank. According to project requirements, the structure of the pad-mounted transformer can be designed into a pin-shaped type or a mesh-shaped type, as shown in the figure below.

7. Operating Instructions

7.1 Operation of Load Switch

The oil-immersed load switches used in American-style pad-mounted transformers are available in three types—two-position, four-position T-type and four-position V-type—based on their functional differences, and one type can be selected as required.

Their respective operation methods are as follows:

The four-position V-type load switch is shown in Figure 2. Its power plate adopts a V-shaped structure (the black part in the figure). In the figure, "I, II" represent the incoming and outgoing lines for ring network power supply, and "T" represents the high-voltage incoming line of the transformer connected via the backup fuse and plug-in fuse. The ring network load switch can switch the power network under load conditions.

Four Working Positions of the Load Switch:

  1. At the I-II-T position: Network I and Network II are connected, and the transformer is energized (the substation functions as a ring network).
  2. At the I-T position: Network I is connected to the transformer (the substation functions as a terminal).
  3. At the II-T position: Network II is connected to the transformer (the substation functions as a terminal).
  4. At the O position: Network I, Network II and the transformer are all disconnected (all de-energized).

Insert the special operating handle into the rotating shaft of the load switch and rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise by approximately 130 degrees. The power plate rotates one gear each time the load switch is operated. Example of switch operation: Switch the power supply from Network I to Network II.

Method 1:

  • a. Insert the special operating handle into the switch shaft;
  • b. Rotate the switch clockwise once, and the V-shaped blade of the switch is at the I-II-T position at this time;
  • c. Rotate clockwise once more, and the V-shaped blade is between II-T to supply power from Network II at this time; the operation is completed.

Method 2:

  • a. Insert the special operating handle into the switch shaft;
  • b. Rotate the switch counterclockwise once, and the V-shaped blade of the switch is at the O position at this time;
  • c. Rotate counterclockwise once more, and the V-shaped blade is between II-T to supply power from Network II at this time; the operation is completed.

Both methods above can realize the power supply switch from Network I to Network II, while Method 2 is safer and more reasonable. After Network I is cut off, it will not be re-energized; meanwhile, if a fault occurs in Network II, it will not cause closing on the faulty network. In contrast, Method 1 may lead to dual power supply. When switching the power supply from Network I to Network II, faults may occur due to reasons such as inconsistent power supply phases.

7.2 Four-Position Ring Network Load Switch (T-Type)

The working principle of the four-position T-type load switch is shown in Figure 3, and its operating method is the same as that of the V-type.

Two-Position Terminal Load Switch

Its structural drawing is shown in Figure 4, where 1 is connected to the high-voltage incoming line terminal. When operating, the user inserts the special operating handle into the rotating shaft of the load switch and rotates it counterclockwise by 90° to switch the load switch to the open position. The terminal load switch is only used to cut off the transformer branch in the terminal power supply mode or operate when replacing the fuse core of the plug-in fuse. Therefore, the terminal load switch has only two positions (open and close). Owing to its compact size, it features a small operating force and is easy to operate and use. To reduce oil contamination inside the oil tank, it is recommended that the user disconnect the low-voltage main switch or outgoing line switch to cut off the low-voltage side load before operating the load switch.

Cable Head

  • a. The high-voltage incoming and outgoing lines of the 12kV prefabricated substation adopt cable connections. Epoxy-cast insulating bushings lead the high-voltage power supply out of the oil tank. For the convenience of factory testing and user acceptance testing, the insulating bushings themselves are capable of withstanding power-frequency withstand voltage and lightning impulse withstand voltage.
  • b. Select an elbow-type or T-type cable head matching the cable cross-section. Clean its inner and outer surfaces and the surface of the insulating bushing with anhydrous ethanol, apply a small amount of 7501-type vacuum silicone grease on the bushing surface, and install it in accordance with the special installation specifications of the cable work area. For the installation of the cable head, refer to the attached instruction manual.

Replacement of Plug-In Fuse

The plug-in fuse is a component with an externally replaceable fuse core. For replacement:

  1. First, pull the button of the pressure relief valve on the upper oil tank to balance the pressure inside and outside the oil tank.
  2. To ensure the safety of operators and equipment, the plug-in fuse must be plugged and unplugged without load. Therefore, first cut off the power of the low-voltage switch to disconnect all low-voltage side loads.
  3. Then use the operating handle to switch the load switch to the position where the power supply and the transformer are disconnected.
  4. Next, use the operating handle to loosen the handle on the fuse holder, then rotate it by about 90° to eliminate the adhesion between the gasket and the outer wall.
  5. Pull out the fuse element of the fuse obliquely upward by 70-80mm and let it stand for a few seconds to allow the oil on the fuse element to drain off partially before pulling it out completely, so as to prevent oil from dripping on other components outside the oil tank.
  6. Wipe the surface of the fuse element clean with a dry cotton cloth before replacing the fuse core.
  • Note: When replacing, pay close attention to the parameters marked on the fuse core—fuse cores with different parameters cannot be used interchangeably. The replacement steps are shown in the figure. After replacing the fuse core, insert the fuse element firmly into the fuse holder. When rotating the handle on the fuse element to the locked position, ensure that the gasket is tightly attached to the fuse holder and the handle is buckled on the boss, so as to ensure the substation is fully sealed and free from moisture ingress. Then close the high-voltage load switch and low-voltage switch again to restore power supply.
  • As the substation is a three-phase system, for either the backup protection fuse or the plug-in fuse, if the fuse element of one phase is blown, the fuse elements of all three phases should generally be replaced, unless it is confirmed that only the fuse element of one phase has carried the fault current.

7.3 Replacement Steps of Plug-in Fuse

  1. Open the low-voltage main switch;
  2. Open the high-voltage load switch;
  3. Pull the ring of the pressure relief valve to release pressure;
  4. Hook the operation hole and rotate it upward by 90 degrees;
  5. Pull it upward by 100mm, pause for a moment, then pull it out completely;
  6. Wipe it dry with a clean cotton cloth;
  7. Replace the fuse core as shown in the figure below;
  8. Quickly insert the replaced fuse core into the original hole and fasten it in place.
