Power Transformers

In ARMT-2 and ARMT-3 type Mobile Substations, power transformers with a maximum power of 60 MVA at the voltage level suitable for the project are used.

 

Power Transformers are specially designed and manufactured for mobile applications with dimensions and weight in accordance with international transportation rules to ensure maximum mobility.

 

Power transformers can be manufactured with different cooling systems such as ONAN, ONAF, OFAF, OFWF and different connection groups according to the system. Tap changing is usually done with OLTC (on-load tap changer).

Dry Type Power Transformers can be used in Mobile Substations according to voltage and power requirements.

In ARMT-1 type Mobile Substations, distribution transformers are used at the voltage level suitable for the project and with a maximum power of 4MVA.

Distribution transformers are designed and manufactured in special sizes and weights for mobile applications, as oil filled and cast resin type. One of the most important issues in mobile applications is the noise level of transformers. In addition to the noise level of the transformer during routine tests in the factory, measurement of winding resistances, measurement of voltage conversion ratio and control of phase difference, measurement of short circuit impedance and loss at load, measurement of no-load loss and current, temperature rise test, control of core and body insulation, insulation of auxiliary circuits, applied voltage test, induced voltage withstand test tests and other routine tests are also applied as standard.

 

High Voltage Switching Equipment

 

Depending on the structure of the High Voltage system, 1-pole or 3-pole SF6 gas insulated circuit breakers are used for switching under load and under fault. The height of the circuit breakers can be adjusted thanks to the platform on which they are mounted, providing ease of use.

Disconnectors are one of the main elements of the primary

equipment used at high voltage, together with the earthing disconnector for isolation of the substation from the grid without load and also for maintenance and repair of the circuit breaker. The operating mechanisms can be manual or motorized according to demand.

Medium Voltage Switchgears

Medium Voltage Switchgears are switching and control equipment manufactured in accordance with IEC 62271-200 standard and the following 2 product groups can be used according to the project;

• ARMC Series Air Insulated Metal Enclosed Metal Compartment Switchgears

40.5 kV, 4000 A, up to 40 kA AFLR, PM, LSC 2B

 

• ARME Series Air Insulated Metal Enclosed Modular Switchgears

36 kV, 1250 A, up to 25 kA AFL, PI, LSC 2A

 

The trailers used in Mobile Substations are designed with axles that will automatically adapt to the road surface in bad road conditions, suitable for heavy road transportation on general roads, main roads and difficult, irregular roads. The steel frame, which is formed from steel profiles suitable for the load to be transported, is produced with high corrosion resistance with special painting applications.  

 

Trailers are equipped with mechanical or hydraulic outriggers and doublespeed landing jacks for the separation of the tow wagon and long-term parking of the trailer. In addition, all outriggers and jacks have reinforced steel bottom plates. If required in the specifications, independent hydraulic legs and automatic balancing system can be used to fix the Mobile Substation to the ground. Trailers are selected according to the weight of the SMS series Mobile Substation and the area of use, with tire and axle selection and ABS braking system at maximum safety level. Rotary axle system can also be used according to the number of axles. Gooseneck height and length, axle pin distances, gooseneck turning angle are designed for every type and brand of tractor.

Mobile Trailers are equipped with lighting, flashers, signalization and warning signs determined by international road standards. 

 

Trailers are designed for a maximum speed of 60 km/h unless otherwise specified and have bumpers to be used for towing or pushing when necessary. Each trailer is equipped with 2 spare tires with rims as spare. There are standard cabins suitable for tool kits on the trailer.
