3D Printing of 35, 100, 220, 330 and 500 kV Gas-Insulated Current Transformers (UETM TRG Series)

Abstract

The development and manufacturing of the “Electrical power systems equipment designer” element base on the basis of the downsized copies of the existing power plants and substations equipment are aimed at improving the material and technical supplementation of educational processes for training power industry specialists. Provided the array of prototypes of 35, 110, 220, 330 and 500 kV current transformers in the scale range of 1/2 to 1/10, it becomes possible to produce the downsized equipment using original materials and to ensure the full integration of the designer. The implementation of the solution allows to guarantee the high accuracy and resemblance of the equipment. It also reveals the possibility to use the existing substations and power plants in miniature, with their further placement in any classrooms, i.e. transfer the educational process from cyber domain into the material one.
