    CTC-Continuously Transposed Conductor

    CTC gives several advantages in the design & construction of Transformer compared to conventional Paper covered conductors.

    Ø Reduction in Electrical losses,


    Ø Uniform distribution of temperature,
    Ø Increase in space factor,
    Ø Reduced winding time,
    Ø Reduction in size of transformer,
    Ø Reduction in total cost.

    Construction Details
    CTC - Transposition:
    For a given one turn on the smallest winding diameter D, all the strips change their position at least once. The pitch P
    may be shorter than calculated one:
    P= D X π / n.
    For stability of winding, the pitch cannot be chosen at random. The transposing factor considers the width of
    individual conductor. The transposing factor Ft should not be less than 5:
    Ft = D x π/ b x n.
     
    Dimensional calculation:
     
    Nominal axial width is calculated as
    Ab = 2 *(b + E) + I + R
    The radial dimension of odd numbered CTC is calculated as
    Rh = (n + 1)/2 * (a + E) + R
    Or for CTC with an even number of strands
    Rh = (n + 2)/2 * (a + E) + R
    Where     n   Number of strips
               a   Thickness of bare wire
               b   Width of bare wire
               E    Nominal increase due to enamel
               I    Inter column separator
               R   Nominal paper insulation
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

    Dimensional Measurement of CTC is done on straight specimen of approximately 400mm length with open ends
    under a pressure of 1 N/mm2.
    Each CTC is supplied with electrically continuous strips for the entire length of the cable on the drum. Prior to shipment
    the insulation of strips is tested.
     
     
     
     
     
    Spools & Packaging
    CTC is supplied in returnable/non-returnable wooden drums with or without compartment.
