Rated Winding Temp Rise; No Load Loss; Type Of Cooling; Thermal Capacity - GE T60 Instruction Manual

5 SETTINGS
• RATED WINDING TEMP RISE: This setting defines the winding temperature rise over 30°C ambient temperature. The
setting is automatically selected for the transformer type as shown in the table below.
The loss of life function calculates the insulation aging acceleration factor using the settings entered in this section, by
following equation:

where is the rated hottest-spot temperature as per the table below,
H_R

and is the actual computed winding hottest-spot temperature.
H t  
The aging acceleration factor is computed every minute. It has a value of 1.0 when the actual winding hottest spot tem-
perature is equal to the rated temperature, is greater than 1 if the actual temperature is above the rated temperature,
and less than 1 if the actual temperature is below the rated temperature.

• NO LOAD LOSS: This setting is obtained from the transformer data and is used to calculate the aging acceleration
factor.
• TYPE OF COOLING: The setting defines the type of transformer cooling and is used to calculate the aging accelera-
tion factor. The values and their description for this setting are as follows:
"OA": oil-air
"FA": forced air
"Non-directed FOA/FOW": non-directed forced-oil-air/forced-oil-water
"Directed FOA/FOW": directed forced-oil-air/forced-oil-water
"Sealed Self Cooled", "Vented Self Cooled", "Forced Cooled": as named
• TOP OIL RISE OVER AMBIENT: This setting should be available from the transformer nameplate data
• THERMAL CAPACITY: The setting should be available from the transformer nameplate data. If not, refer to the follow-
ing calculations. For the "OA" and "FA" cooling types:
C = 0.06 (core and coil assembly in lbs.) + 0.04 (tank and fittings in lbs.) +1.33 (gallons of oil), Wh/°C; or
C = 0.0272 (core and coil assembly in kg) + 0.01814 (tank and fittings in kg) + 5.034 (L of oil), Wh/°C
For the "Non-directed FOA/FOW" (non-directed forced-oil-air/forced-oil-water) or "Directed FOA/FOW" (directed
forced-oil-air/forced-oil-water) cooling types, the thermal capacity is given by:
C = 0.06 (core and coil assembly in lbs.) + 0.06 (tank and fittings in lbs.) + 1.93 (gallons of oil), Wh/°C; or
C =0.0272 (weight of core and coil assembly in kg) + 0.0272 (weight of tank and fittings in kg) + 7.305 (L of oil), Wh/°C
For dry-type power transformers:
C = 0.048  (weight of copper winding); or
C = 0.015  (weight of core and copper windings from the nameplate); or
C = 0.12  (weight of aluminum windings); or
C = 0.02  (weight of core and aluminum coils from the nameplate)
• WINDING THERMAL TIME CONSTANT: Required for insulation aging calculation. If this value is not available from
the transformer data, select "2 min.".
