About Power Partners, Inc.
Power Partners, Inc. manufactures poletvpe
distribution transfor'mcr., that provide more
than 3,000 utilities in North America, Central
America, the Middle East and Asia with electric
power for homes and businesses. Power
Partners' poletype clistrihution transformers
are specifically designed to serve residential
overhead distribution loads. The y arc also suitable for light commercial loads, industrial
lighting, and diversified power applications.
Power Partners provides a complete line of
overhead transformers to meet the applications of any distribution system. The company
manufactures single-phase and three-phase
polettipe transformers at 34.5 kV and belo
in ratings from 5-833 kVA single-phase and
30-500 kVA three-phase. The Power Partners
core-coil design provides optimum efficiency
and excellent mechanical, thermal and electrical performance.
The Power Partners operation in Athens, GA,
has achieved ISO 9001: 2000 certification. The
operation, which was an ABB facility until
Power Partners purchased it in May 2003. has
nearly 5 y ears r.)r manufacturing experience.
The ABB Connection
The polctvpc disti'ibuhon transformers manufactured by Power Partners are name-plated
for ABB, with ABB serving as the manufacturer's representative for Power Partners. ABB
is a global leader in power and automation
technologies that enable utility : and in(IListryr
customers to improve their performance,
while lowering their environmental impact.
Manufacturing Technology
Overhead distribution transformers manufaactur'cd by Power Partners offer cost-effective
solutions for power clistrib u i on. The latest
manuFacturing technology is utilizedi to maintain state-of-the-art quality and productivity.
Large vertical integration allows us to ship
high quality : products in the shortest possible
production cycle.

through continuous process improvement.
The company's employees are team-based and
measurement focused, and their work is based
on highly disciplined processes. The company
is innovative, reliable and driven to provide
high quaIityr and high Value, and to meet each
delivery commitment. \ want Power Partners
to be recognized as a company that exceeds
customers expectations.
An Industry Leader
N orking together with ABB as the mantifacIurer's representative for Power Partners, we
have alliances with major utilities and businesses around the worst[ providing products
and services to meet all their needs. Together,
we are a dominant force in the industry.

Standard Compliance
A. Pressure Venting and Resealing
The self-venting cover design meets the pressurC venting
and resealing myuil emcnts of ANSI C57.12.20-1997, paragraph 6.2.5.2.
"A cover assembly designed fir relief of excessive pressure
shall remain effectivel scaled for overloads and external
secondary short circuits of the magnitude and duration
allowed by industr standards and loading guides, but
shall relieve pressure at a minimum of S lbf/in', gage (55.2
kPa) if designee] to reseal; or at a minimum of 20 lhf/in',
gage (138 kPa) if designed for pressure relief without
resealing. Such OpCRitiiin shall occur before other conlponcnts of the tank are ruptLiI'C] or displaced, and the cover
shall remain in position. Manual means of venting the tank
before removal of cover shall be provided.
No auxiliar pre sUlre relief device is required on Power
Partners overhead distribution transformers. The flow
rate of the center-bolt cover after venting is significantly
higher than that of auxiliary pressure relief devices
resulting in increased safety and higher tank withstand
capability

b) 'link withstand capability in excess of the rcgluirenlCnts of NEMA TR1.
2. Increased tank withstand capabilit and automatic
lllr.ssurc relief during cover removal result in
increased safety.
3. Electrostaticall -applied epoxy coating is a minimum
of 13 mils, providing an average of 15 kV dielectric
strength to provide extra insulation and protection
fi-onl corrosion.
4. The 15' slope of cover prevents moisture from collecting and increases resistance to corrosion and
]caking.
5. Continuous hollow nitriIe gasket, raised and flat
bushing cmbossments, undercut gasket scats on
bushings, and copper-encased cover bolt gasket provide increased resistance to leaks and breathing.
6. Center cover bolt provides easy cover removal compared to chime ling design, resulting in lower maintenance cost.

Spark Gap
An internal 1(n+ +oltage spark };ap has been dc+cic )hed aO
a means of protection for distribution transformers
against secondare side. surges. The Electric Utility
Indutitrr has been eoncerncd about transformer failures
attrihUted to secondar y surges, a]though the f(;11L11 - C rate
is estimated to be ]css than P5% per year. The entilr
sLlbject is Very complex. bU t the phenomenon is very
much related to system parameters, such as, house and
pole groU nd resistance, length and type of service drrip,
and transformer load. - I'he sU rgc impedance of the transformer coil is also a significant flctor. resulting in units
larger than 50 kVA being t y pically imrnLinC from this type
of failU re. The Power Partners spark gap will provide
the same degrees of protection as any other method
presently avai]ablc, and at a significantly lower cost.
Apphoation
The spark gap is mounted internally between the low
voltage line hushing and the low voltage nCLltral and is
designed to arc oVC1- (]Li ling low Voltage sakes to protect
the transformer +in(Iings.
Testing
I',.ti li',1Listive testing has proven that (1) the internal spark
g i p operates under surge conditions to protect the
transformer winding, (2) the arc is extinguished Under
high acailahle fhLJlt current conditions, and (3) the Operation of the internal spark gap, under maxim urn oil temperature conditions, and,+ith a wide range of oil vapor
to air ratios, does not result in the development of an
unsafe condition. This extensive testing proves conclusively that the internal spark gap provides the same
degree of protection as that provided by interlaced
secondary windings, low voltage MOV arresters, and
external spark gaps.
Advantage
1.',ffccti+c — prevents low-side surge failures.
Cost effective — a spark gap is considerably lower in cost
than the other suggested methods of prevention.
Reliable — a spark gap does not degrade the overall transformer Or the s y stem reliability
Easy installation — the internal spark gap can he easily
retrofitted onto existing transformers.
