11kV Transformers | Introducing Amorphous Core HV Transformers

February 1st, 2019
Powerstar SO-LO

Manufactured & Designed In UK | Short Lead Time | Transformers LV 11kV

♦ Guest Post from Richard Kerr & Lindsay Brownless from Powerstar

11kV Transformers

The Next Generation Of Distribution Transformers (LV HV Up To 11kV)

Powerstar SO-LO range of super low loss transformers are the only amorphous core transformers designed and manufactured in the UK and provide a cost-effective way of reducing energy consumption by upgrading high voltage (HV) infrastructure up to 11kV.

Distribution transformers have been at the heart of the energy network, and for many large businesses, their sites, for years. However, as technology has advanced it has been an area that has been left in the dark and somehow avoided the wider revolution known as Industry 4.0, referred to as the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 champions the connectivity of machines to transfer data and give insights into optimising operations.

To change this, there has been a concerted effort from major players in the LV HV power industry to modernise distribution transformers with the introduction of smart distribution transformers. These LV-HV transformers up to 11kV have inherent connective capabilities which allow for remote monitoring and enable the transformer to be compatible with the wider digitisation of industry.

One company dedicated to the production of smart distribution transformers is Powerstar, leading provider of smart energy solutions, which launched Powerstar SO-LO, an 11kV/415V super low loss amorphous core, smart distribution transformer with remote monitoring capabilities, in September 2018.

Super Low Loss Transformers Up To 11kV By Powerstar SO-LO

Super Low Loss Transformers Up To 11kV By Powerstar SO-LO

Powerstar SO-LO was developed in response to the requirement for greater efficiencies as well as greater insights into energy use.

Regarding efficiency, Powerstar realises that traditional cold rolled grain-oriented silicon steel (CRGO) transformers, suffer from higher load losses than transformers manufactured with the more efficient materials such as amorphous alloy. This is particularly true when you compare the current deployed ageing CRGO transformers which may have been in place for over 30 years to contemporary equivalents.

Excellence In LV-HV Transformer Efficiency

To produce a more efficient LV or 11kV transformer, Powerstar had to first identify a material to replace the traditionally used CRGO. The new material selected was an amorphous alloy core. The amorphous alloy core has a more flexible internal structure than CRGO, which enables easy magnetisation and demagnetisation to take place. This allows for lower losses to be achieved than in CRGO transformers, therefore enabling the achievement of higher efficiencies.

These increased efficiencies are perhaps best displayed by the fact that amorphous core transformers can provide up to 75% lower core losses than CRGO transformers. This results in a reduction to energy wasted through load and no-load losses, providing energy consumption savings of up to 3% when replacing ageing transformers.

Bespoke Transformer Offerings Up To 11kV

As a manufacturer, Powerstar understands that every customer has different requirements when it comes to 11kV high voltage (HV) infrastructure and can therefore provide a number of fittings and accessories to maximise the impact of an amorphous core transformer for each site. This is a necessity, with popular sectors for Powerstar SO-LO ranging from manufacturing and industrial, to retail and healthcare.

The most popular fittings that have been applied to Powerstar SO-LO are radiator valves, bi-directional rollers, dehydrating breathers, AVR relays and control panels, winding temperature indicators, close coupled MV switchgears, close coupled LV cabinets/feeder pillars, pressure relief devices, marshalling boxes, forced air cooling systems, and oil temperature indicators.

Additionally, whilst Powerstar SO-LO is an 11kV to 415V amorphous core smart distribution transformer by standard, as a specialist transformer manufacturer with over 20 years’ experience, Powerstar can provide a variety of bespoke solutions including dual voltages, single phase transformers, and three phase transformers.

The solution can also be integrated with Powerstar’s patented voltage management technology to address issues caused by an unnecessarily high voltage profile on the LV side, if applicable, providing additional savings to energy consumption and costs.

Transformers Designed To Connect Power

From LV To 11kV

Due to its remote monitoring capabilities, included as standard, the Powerstar SO-LO 11kV transformer offers 24/7 visibility and understanding of how the equipment is operating, enabling issues to be identified before an event occurs, reducing the risk of operational downtime caused by equipment breakdown or repair.

This is done via a secure platform, accessible by the user from anywhere with an internet connection, which provides comprehensive data in real time. This data can also be used to identify where efficiencies can be made to make further optimisations and enhance the solution’s return on investment.

It is clear that with solutions such as Powerstar SO-LO, the aim to modernise distribution transformers for an age of increased connectivity has been enabled. Through the ability to gain greater efficiencies, amorphous core smart distribution transformers provide a way of ensuring your site’s HV infrastructure is as efficient as possible whilst reducing the risk of downtime in a single, effective solution that is fit for the demands of modern sites.

NOFIRNO Sealant | Sealing For Cable & Pipes 2 Hour Jet Fire Tested

January 31st, 2019
NOFIRNO Sealant For Cable & Pipes

NOFIRNO Sealant For Cable & Pipes

NOFIRNO Sealant For Cables & Pipes

The CSD NOFIRNO is a Single & Multi Pipe Penetration Sealing System – one of the most adaptive systems for sealing straight and angled pipe penetrations and can even accommodate multiple pipe runs, significantly saving in space and weight.

The offshore sealing system for pipework maintains the integrity of vessels providing fire protection and ensuring bulkheads and decks remain gas and watertight when pipes need to pass through them – the CSD NOFIRNO pipe penetration sealing system provides fire protection seals to A60 H120 for offshore and marine ships bulkheads and decks.

An uncontrolled discharge of combustible gas under pressure poses a serious fire hazard in areas such as petrochemical plants, offshore petroleum rigs and other hazardous area locations and environments that are sensitive to extreme fires.

NOFIRNO is manufactured by Beele Engineering.

What Are Jet Fires?

A jet or spray fire is a turbulent diffusion flame resulting from the combustion of a fuel continuously released with some significant momentum in a particular direction or directions. Jet fires can arise from releases of gaseous, flashing liquid (two phase) and pure liquid inventories.

Jet fires represent a significant element of the risk associated with major accidents on offshore installations. The high heat fluxes to impinged or engulfed objects can lead to structural failure or vessel/pipework failure and possible further escalation. The rapid development of a jet fire has important consequences for control and isolation strategies.

The properties of jet fires depend on the fuel composition, release conditions, release rate, release geometry, direction and ambient wind conditions. Low velocity two-phase releases of condensate material can produce lazy, wind affected buoyant, sooty and highly radiative flames similar to pool fires. Sonic releases of natural gas can produce relatively high velocity fires that are much less buoyant, less sooty and hence less radiative.

NOFIRNO Cable Duct Seals

Jet Fire Testing

If high pressure flammable gas, pressure liquefied gas or flashing liquid fuels are emitted at high velocity and ignited, the result will be a jet fire. Withstanding these jet fires is most demanding for a pipe sealing system.

BEELE Engineering’s NOFIRNO sealing system for multi-cable and pipe transits has successfully completed a jet fire test, in accordance with ISO 22899-1:2007 and ISO/CD 22899-2 for two hours at the Health & Safety Laboratory at Buxton in England. The jet fire test was recorded on DVD; copies of the DVD can be ordered via BEELE Engineering.

NOFIRNO

From a time/temperature perspective, jet fire tests are similar to hydrocarbon (H-Class) fire tests.

During the hydrocarbon test, an instantaneous temperature rise up to 800°C (1472°F) takes place, with the overall exposure temperature rising to 1150°C (2102°F).

However, during the hydrocarbon test, there are no extreme conditions imparted to the penetration seal, such as thermal and mechanical loads or severe erosive forces, as is the cases with the Jet Fire Test.

Jet fire tests simulate the most onerous conditions of a hydrocarbon fuelled fire on an offshore oil rig, or a missile strike on a military warship.

Jet fires give rise to high convective and radioactive heat fluxes as well as high erosive forces.

To generate both types of heat flux in sufficient quantity, a 0.3 kg/second sonic release of gas is aimed into a hollow chamber, producing a fire ball with an extended tail.

The flame thickness is thereby increased and hence so is the heat radiated to the test specimen. Propane is used as the fuel since it has a greater propensity to form soot than natural gas and can therefore produce a flame of higher luminosity. Strong erosive forces are generated by the release of sonic velocity gas jet, 1 meter from specimen (bulkhead) surface. The jet velocity is ca. 100 meter/second at 0.25 meter from the back of the recirculation chamber (e.g. the front of the web of a structural steel specimen) and ca. 60 meter/second at the back of the chamber.

Sealing For Cable & Pipes - NOFIRNO

For the Jet Fire test, a cable penetration with dimensions 600x300mm with armoured and non-armoured cables up to 3x400mm² (102mm OD) and bundled LAN cables, representing a shipboard cable installation, was tested. The conduit sleeve for the NOFIRNO pipe transit was 406.4 mm ID and a steel pipe with an OD of 273mm was passed through. Both penetrations maintained their integrity for the full two hours.

Despite the jet speed of about 360 km/hour, causing high erosive forces, and the flame temperatures of about 1200°C, the temperature rise measured on the surface of the NOFIRNO sealant at the unexposed side was only max; 160°C. This proves the high thermal insulation values under fire load of the NOFIRNO sealing system. After dismantling it was noticed that the NOFIRNO filler sleeves were not consumed by the fire and were even hardly affected by the fire. Based on the positive outcome of this harsh fire tests, BEELE Engineering will apply for Jet Fire Certificates.

Sealing Pipes, Cables & Ducts Using NOFIRNO

NOFIRNO is one of BEELE Engineering’s ‘rapid cable and pipe sealing systems’ for use on board ships, on offshore pipework installations, in building and construction and other environments where the safety of people and installations has to be guaranteed.

NOFIRNO offers the ultimate fire safe sealing solution for metallic and plastic pipes. Even combined penetrations for metal and plastic pipes and cables can be sealed effectively. That means that one sealing system can be used for all types of pipe penetrations.

NOFIRNO is also tested on full scale bulkheads and decks in accordance with IMO Res. A.754 (18). An EC (MED) certificate according to the European Union Council Directive 96/98 EC on Marine Equipment has been issued by Det Norske Veritas.

The system has also been tested for H-class partitions and has obtained a Type Approval Certificate of Det Norske Veritas as well. Important is that both for A-0 and H-0 class the system has been tested without any insulation. For building and construction applications RISE/NOFIRNO has been tested according to EN1366-3:2004 and classified according to EN 13501-2:2003 for a fire rating of two hours (fire class E120 (flame resistance) and EI120 (flame resistance and thermal insulation) and lately in-house for a four hours fire rating.

  • uploaded by Chris Dodds Sales & Marketing Manager | Thorne & Derrick

Cable Joints

Thorne & Derrick International are the UK distributors for Filoform, a leading manufacturer of cable joints, duct seals and special resins for installation in the utilities, telecom, traffic, rail, fibre optic, street lighting and construction industries.

In the following overview we explain what makes a good cable joint and via video demonstrate how to install Filoform resin cable joints.

Firstly, lets examine the kit contents of Filoform resin cable joints.

Joints Tested & Certified

Cable Joints

Cable Joints

To European Standard

Filoform cable joints are approved in accordance with the standard DIN EN 50393 VDE 0278-393:2015-10 – test methods and requirements for accessories for use on distribution cables of rated voltage 0,6/1,0 (1,2) kV. This European Standard details the performance requirements and the test methods for type testing of cable joints for use with power distribution cables of rated voltage 0,6/1,0 (1,2) kV as defined in HD 603 or other relevant cable standards.

Injection Moulded Cable Joint Shells

Rigid and very strong snap-lock design forms an excellent seal and prevents resin leakage from the cable joint. Filform cable joints are designed and sized around UK manufactured steel wire armour cables (SWA) to BS5467 ensuring ample working-space for the jointer within the cable joint shell.

Transitions from PILC to XLPE, cross-core jointing and jointing of 3.3kV power cables can also be achieved with minor kit modifications.

Mechanical Connectors

Brass Tunnel Connectors

Brass Tunnel Connectors

Brass tunnel connectors provide straight connections on stranded or solid circular conductors (both copper and aluminium). The range-taking tunnel connectors permit the jointing imperial to metric and step-down transitions where dissimilar size conductors preclude the use of conventional crimp connectors.

No specialist jointing tools – fast and simplified jointing of cable conductors without resort to crimping tools and associated die sets is achieved by Filoform brass tunnel connectors.

Two Allen screws for each core ensure a sound electrical performance and an Allen key is also provided with each resin joint kit to ensure that everything needed to joint a cable is included in the one box.

Earth Braid Armour Continuity

Earth Braid Cable Joints

Armour Continuity Earth Braids

Wire Armour & Braided Cables

Tinned copper earth braid offers significant advantages over “single wire type” earth continuity systems in resin cable joint kits, which can fail if poorly positioned within wire armour cores that have “spread”. The flat, soft braid ensures good electrical contact and is insulated for extra protection – suitable for both wire braided and wire armoured cables.

Constant Force Springs

Cable joints move and expand due to earth shift and heat from electrical current. Constant force springs react to this movement and maintain a sound electrical connection between the steel wire armouring and the earth continuity braid.

Constant Force Springs

Constant Force Springs

Core Separators

Provide safe separation of cores and connectors within the resin joint.

Two-Part Cable Jointing Resin

Filoform cable joint resin formula is equally suitable for both LV and HV jointing applications and provides excellent adhesion to PVC, XLPE, polythene and paper cables. Supplied in “easy-mix” transparent 2 component bag.

Cable Joint Resins
