During this visit, all the parts of the distribution transformer including CT and PT, their construction and their assembly were explained to the students. HV and LV coil winding machines and their process, and ovening process to improve insulation resistance were also demonstrated. The use of megger to measure insulation resistance between phase to phase, phase to earth and between HV and LV was shown. Various materials like copper conductors, iron laminations, bushings, breathers etc. were studied. The process of transformer oil filtering and BDV testing and the off load tap changer and its operation were also demonstrated. The construction of an amorphous transformer was studied.
Prof. M. N. Tagare arranged this visit with assistance of Prof. N.V. Kelkar. The visit ended with thanks to Shri. Sachin Bhoi, the owner of the workshop and Shri Rahul, who arranged all the demonstrations during the visit.
