The ASAI-transformer rectifier equipment is housed in two sections, comprising the oil tank section and
control cabinet mounted on the front side of the oil tank.
A panel mounted on the oil tank houses the system fuses, electronic output control circuit, and output
interrupter timer.
The main power components, i.e. the main step down transformer and Rectifier Bridge, are all mounted on a
removable chassis below the cold oil level inside the oil tank.
The output adjustment knob, voltage and current meters/ indicators and shunt, a.c input breaker,
interrupter control switch, surge suppressor and d.c terminals are mounted inside the control cabinet.
Sum
The control cabinet is covered by a hinged door with a markrolon to enable the viewing of the meters without
opening the door.
The variable output adjustment is made with a single turn stepless output adjustment knob graduated from 0
to 100
The type of transformer rectifier unit supplied is Oil Cooled Air Natural (ONAN) and the stepless control of
m ti
d.c. output is achieved by the use of the a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) bridge.
A step-down transformer is used to step down the mains a.c. supply volts to a level suitable for the d.c.
output required. This transformer is a double wound type with an earth screen between primary and
secondary windings and thus effectively isolates mains primary voltage from the secondary side supplying the
rectifier.
Transformer magnet wire and insulation materials are rated for class H operation (1800C). Dipping in
thermosetting varnish and baking enhance this insulation.
The varnish used exceeds CSA C22.2 No. D for Class H operation.
The magnetic cores where constructed from high grade, grain oriented steel laminations with a maximum
thickness of 26 gauge.

d. RECTIFIER STACK
The elements of the full wave bridge rectifier, silicon diodes and controlled rectifiers are also oil immersed
with the transformer for enhanced cooling during high current operation.
The dielectric strength is high being able to withstand a supply of 2000 volts, 60Hz a.c. applied between
each of the discrete diode case.
The silicon diodes used in the manufacture of ASAI are rated to provide an adequate margin for over
Sum
voltage
and over current surges. A 600-peak reverse voltage (PRV) rating is a minimum for all diodes in the power
circuit.
In addition, the single-phase bridges are protected by a metal oxide varistor (MOV) designed to clamp over-
voltage.
e. CONTROL UNIT
ASAI houses a control unit that regulates the output voltage by a stepless adjustment.
m ti
The output current interrupter has a high-speed output shutdown control function that permits the output
current to be readily reduced to zero in practically less than 5 milliseconds, permitting instantaneous off
potentials to be measured.
The interrupter time control is done with 2 timer relays with variable resistor knob located on top of the
relays. The timers determine how long the interruption will last as well as the frequency of interruption.
The control unit also has variable single turn resistors for calibrating the output voltage.
f. INSTRUMENTATION
ASAI consists of 3 analog meters and an oil gauge. The analog meters include
These analog meters supplied by GME Inc USA are provided for monitoring the d.c output power and oil level.
These meters are of molded phenolic construction with optically clear acrylic fronts sealed so as to retard
corrosion.
Accuracy of meters are within +2% of full scale at 25O C and possess stability of at least +1% per 5o C
deviance for the 40o C to +75o C range.

3.a. INSTALLATION
Cne
SECTION 3:
a
The equipment is for plinth mounting. The Transformer Rectifier (T-R) should be bolted down using the four
fixing holes provided in the channel base.
Earthing of the equipment should be terminated at the channel base using suitable earth cable.
NOTE: Output negative connection is not earthed to the supply system and should not be treated as an
earth connection.
Sum
IMPORTANT: Single core cables for connection to anodes must be terminated using crimped cable lugs.
Structure connection must be rated for maximum output current.
N.B. - IMPORTANT
Normal cable insulation checks are not to be carried out using megger equipment without first disconnecting
m ti
the T-R from the high voltage during such tests. Damage to semi-conductors will result if test voltages in
excess of 1000V are applied.
Check that all heavy current connections are tight and the equipment is earthed correctly.

Make sure the interrupt switch (on/off) on the front panel is off.
Sum
ON the A.C supply to the Transformer-Rectifier.
Check the mains input voltage cables on the circuit breaker and make sure they are strongly fitted.
Turn ON the power switch (i.e. circuit breaker) on the left side of the control panel.
Gradually adjust the output adjustment knob until the required voltage and current output level is achieved.
Then record readings obtained.
m ti
4.b. FAULT FINDING
If there is still no d.c. output, check position of output adjustment knob to be sure it is not in zero.
Check primary volts into the TR, if o.k. Check primary volts into main step down transformer.
If there is still no d.c output, check the semi-conductor bridge diodes and SCRs. This may necessitate the
removal of the rectifier stack for checking.
Check voltmeter.
Check on voltmeter terminals if voltage there but no readings then replace voltmeter.

Check that external output circuit (groundbed and structure connections) for open circuit.
Check shunt signal by connecting milli-voltmeter on mV d.c. Across shunt at and check mV is proportional to
current. Shunt rating in amps

4.c. ROUTINE & PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Keep the inside of the control enclosure clean and check that gasketting and fastening are in good order.
m ti
Check that all connections, particularly those carrying high current are tight.
Check the input voltage to ensure that the desired voltage level is fed into TR at all times.
