Federal Pacific Medium Voltage Transformer Catalog

1 Federal Pacific Medium Voltage Transformer Catalog Federal Pacific History In 1987, Electro-Mechanical Corporation acquired the dry-type Transformer division of Federal Pacific Electric in Des Plaines, Illinois. It was moved to Bristol, Virginia and the name was changed to Federal Pacific (FP). A new 100,000. square foot facility was constructed where time- proven designs and modern technology were combined and deployed under new management. Expansion in early 1993 provided an additional 36,000 square feet of manufacturing space. Federal Pacific Today Federal Pacific is a major manufacturer of dry- type transformers which serve the industrial, construction, commercial, mining, OEM and utility markets. The product scope is 50 VA.

Excitation Current Testing determines the current necessary to maintain Transformer excitation. Resistance Testing is performed on the Transformer windings and is used to determine I2R loss. Dielectric Tests (applied and induced potential) check the insulation and workmanship to demonstrate that the Transformer has been designed and manufactured to meet the insulation levels required by the standards and/or customer.

10 Applied Potential Testing is performed by impressing a low frequency Voltage between windings and between each winding and ground. Induced Potential Tests over-excite the Transformer by applying between the terminals on one winding a Voltage of twice the normal Voltage developed in the winding for a period of 7200 cycles. 5. Medium Voltage Dry-Type transformers The United States Department of Energy (DOE) establishes energy efficiency standards for all transformers under DOE. Article 10 CFR 431. The latest updates to the standards went into effect on January 1, 2016. Federal Pacific 's transformers meet the requirement set forth by the Department of Energy. The established standards and efficiency requirements have been defined below.
