Internal, Oil-immersed Secondary Circuit Breakers

Transformers subjected to overloading or applied on lines without overload protection should be self-protected. Self-protected distribution transformers offer a complete, unified system of overload protection. The primary means of protecting the transformer is the circuit breaker, which is designed to give adequate protection from short circuits and severe overloads.

Options:

Signal Light - One of the features of the self-protected pole-type transformer is the signal light. When the transformer is thermally overloaded, the signal light will light, serving as visual evidence that an unusual overload has occurred on the transformer.

Emergency Overload - Through the use of the emergency overload lever, self-protected transformers are able to carry overloads in excess of those normally permitted by the circuit breakers. If a transformer circuit breaker has tripped and the bimetals are still at trip temperature, the use of the emergency overload lever may allow the operator to close the circuit breaker to restore service.

Tri Clamp Low Voltage Bushing

The ECI TriClamp Low Voltage Bushing is equipped with a 5/8-tt-UNC-2A threaded stud.

C T Junction Box

The ERMCO Components, Inc., CT junction box provides a means to make external connections to current transformer leads when CT's are internally mounted within a power transformer.

Features:

• Designed for operation under oil • Lead attachment uses only standard tools • Has 21 connection terminals

Rugged cast aluminum housing eliminates the need for painting

Drip Guard

The Drip Guard for bayonet fuse assemblies prevents the dripping of transformer insulating fluids onto the rubber molded terminators or cables. Note the positive latching mechanism which prevents accidental removal.

Dry-well Fuseholders for Current-limiting Fuses

The ECI dry-well fuseholder provides a method of placing dead-front type current-limiting fuses within the transformer. ERMCO Components' dry-well fuseholder design is suited to both single- and three-phase padmount applications. With the addition of the loadbreak function, the fuseholder provides an economical combination current-limiting fuse and loadbreak switch. The design provides the benefit of easy hotstick operability to a single fuse.

Loadbreak fuseholders for padmounted transformers are available at 8.3 and 15.2 kV (125 kV BIL). A special loadbreak design is available with parallel fuses for high current applications. Non-loadbreak fuseholders for padmounted transformer applications are available at 8.3, 15.2, and 21.1 kV (125 kV BIL), both standard and submersible construction. A 21.1 kV (150 kV BIL) rating is available in standard construction only.

Under Oil Arrester Disconnect Switch

The ECI arrester disconnect switch provides a means of performing electrical t ti f di t ib ti t f th t i d ith i t l d il

testing of distribution transformers that are equipped with internal under oil lightning arresters.

The arrester disconnect switch must be open before dielectric testing of the transformer to prevent misleading results and possible arrester damage.

To open the switch, unscrew the pipe plug, pull the plug out to the stop to disconnect the arrester ground. Reverse the procedure to close the switch.

This switch is for testing the transformer. It is a de-energized switch only.

Bayonet Fuse Links

Two types of fuse elements are available; a FAULT SENSING fuse (catalog numbers 9F54MFC---) and a LOAD SENSING fuse (catalog numbers 9F54LFC---). The fault sensing fuse is current sensitive and will isolate the transformer from the system in case of a fault. The load sensing fuse is sensitive to both current and oil temperature and will protect against overloads as well as faults.

1. ECI and Cooper bayonet fuse links are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.2. ECI and Cooper bayonet fuse link time-current curves are essentially indentical and have the same curve numbers.

Isolation Link

The ECI Isolation Link is used in a series with bayonet type expulsion fuses to provide extra protection during re-fusing operations. They are coordinated to operate at currents that exceed the one-shot rating of the expulsion fuse used in pad or vault type transformers. The isolation link will melt during transformer failure so the opened primary circuit of a failed transformer cannot be re-energized by the line crew.

Low Voltage Distribution Arrester

The LVDA Light Duty Distribution Class surge arrester is designed and tested in accordance with ANSI/IEEE C62.11 requirements. The LVDA is designed for protection at the distribution transformer 120/240 VAC secondary bushings. Various IEEE and industry studies have determined that impulse voltages from lightning and other sources can enter the transformer secondary and cause extensive damage. Such surges are typically beyond the energy handling capability of Secondary Class Surge Arresters.

Low Voltage Breaker Operating Detail

The new Operating Detail with integral light eliminates the need for a second hole in the transformer tank wall to accommodate the overload indicating light.
