We got to know the different parts of a transformer like breather, cooling tubes, oil tank, oil level indicator etc.
Then we moved to the casting unit where the casting of transformer parts are done.
It is made by reducing iron ore in a blast furnace. The liquid iron is cast, or poured and hardened, into crude ingots called pigs, and the pigs are subsequently remelted along with scrap and alloying elements in cupola furnaces and recast into molds for producing variety of parts.
Phosphorus and sulfur may be burnt out of the molten iron, but this also burns out the carbon, which must be replaced.
Depending on the application, carbon and silicon content are adjusted to the desired levels, which may be 2-3% and 1-3% respectively. If desired, other elements are then added to the melt before the final form is produced by casting.
After casting, they are molded into different shapes according to the dimensions and measurements given by the tender.
