3. • The first type transformer used induction coil.
• Invented by Rev.Nicholas Callan of Maynooth College,
Ireland in 1836.
• He was one of the first researchers to realize the more
turns the secondary winding has in relation to the
primary winding, the larger the induced secondary EMF

4. • On January 9, 2011, an electronics technician was
electrocuted while calibrating the test station for a small
power distribution transformer at 14,400 volts.
• On October 26, 2011, an employee got electrocuted and
cause first- and second-degree burns 15 percent of his
body surface and died seven days later due to poor
heart condition while replacing an existing unfused 225
KVA pad mount transformer (PMT)

5. • Input Connections - The input
side of a transformer is called
the primary.
• Output Connections - The
output side or secondary side
of the transformer.
• Winding - Transformers have
two windings, being the
primary winding and the
secondary winding.
• Core - The transformer core is
used to provide a controlled
path for the magnetic flux.

6. Faraday's Laws of
Electromagnetic Induction
• "Rate of change of flux linkage
with respect to time is directly
proportional to the induced EMF
in a conductor or coil".
• Mutual inductance between two
circuits which is linked by a
common magnetic flux.
• The winding which gives the
desired output voltage due to
mutual induction in the
transformer

8. • Governmental and nongovernmental sector
• Focus on researching and development of the
new technologies in transformers to maximize
the efficiency

9. Non-Government Sector
• 35 years of experience in transformer
manufacturing field, and very hard working in R&D.
• Some of their notable research products are
producing a unique 3-D Wound Core
9 of 21
10. Governmental sector
• Research which focuses on enhancing the efficiency of
the transformers.
• One of them is implementing on online diagnosis on
transformers and others researches.

11. • Testing and commissioning procedures for
distribution transformers that shall be satisfied
before the transformer can be accepted as fit for
service and energization.

14. • The energy policy of Malaysia is determined by the Malaysian
Government for production, distribution, and consumption.
• Governmental agencies
– Ministry of Energy (Kementerian Tenaga)
– Energy Commission (Suruhanjaya Tenaga)
– Malaysia Energy Centre (Pusat Tenaga Malaysia).
• Among the documents that the policy is based on is the 1990
Electricity Supply Act and the 1994 Electricity Regulations.

15. " Part III
FUNCTIONS AND POWERS OF COMMISSION
functions and powers of Commission
" (g) to promote efficiency, economy and safety in the generation, production,
transmission, distribution, supply and use of electricity
(j) to promote research into, and the development and the use of, new
techniques relating to—
(i) the generation, production, transmission, distribution, supply and use of
electricity
(k) to encourage and promote the development of the electricity supply
industry and the supply of gas through pipelines including in the area of
training;
(o) to carry on all such activities as may appear to the Commission requisite,
advantageous or convenient for the purpose of carrying out or in connection
with the performance of its functions under the energy supply laws. “
• This policy shows that government promotes research onto electrical
generation, production, transmission, distribution, supply and use of
electricity. 15 of 21
16. To address such barriers to energy efficiency and
energy conservation in the country’s industrial sector,
the Government of Malaysia initiated the Malaysian
Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement Project
(MIEEIP) in 1999 to improve the rational use of energy
in the industrial sector.

17. Some of government subsidiaries that are universities
and industries that promote and fund research on
electrical efficiency on generation, transmission and
distribution are:

1977.
>Oldest and the largest
transformer manufacturer in
Malaysia.
>Located in the outskirt of
Kuala Lumpur.
>MTM is 73% owned by TNB
and 27% belong to Asean
Brown Boveri (ABB) T&D of
UK respectively.
>RWT was formed in 1993 and
formerly known as EWT Sdn Bhd.
>Linked to high voltage
switchgear manufacturing and
power generation business.
>Located in Nilai industry area in
Negeri Sembilan.
>It is a joint venture between EPE
Sdn Bhd. and Wilson Transformer
of Australia.
>EPE owned 70 % shares while
the remaining 30% is taken up by
Wilson Transformer.
>Officiated in 1994 and is a
subsidiary company to Arab
Malaysia Banking Group which
is holding 51% shares.
>Another partner is belong to a
German based transformer
company named Starkstrom-
Geratebau GmbH (SGB) which
has 49% ownership.
>Located in the Nilai Industry
Negeri Sembilan.
>It is the only transformer
company to have assembly
line to produce cast resin or
dry type transformer in
Malaysia.

19. Alstom Power ramps up its presence in North America
>The capacity to
manufacture the largest
steam turbine in the world
>The facility is capable of
balancing a 180 megawatt
(MW) power plant turbine
generator.
>Lizardos designed the
power for the facility
including:
>10 MVA stepdown
transformer (13.2kV to
3.5kV) for the drive motor
and associated variable
speed drive,
>3 MVA stepdown indoor
transformer (13.2kV to
460V) for mechanical loads,
motor control centers and
lightning protection.

21. • Malaysia is a develop country, which is yet small in the power
transformer industry.
• Local authority like Malaysian Investment Development
Authority (MIDA), should play active role.
• TNB group companies is seen to form majority of Malaysia
market for distribution transformers.
• Local manufacturers must obtain optimum design
transformers to the customer specification whilst maintaining
competitive pricing at any time.
• Initiation to develop local vendors for transformer components
like high voltage tap changer, high voltage bushing, insulation
materials to name a few might assist local transformer
manufacturers to offer attractive transformer price in the
future.

Editor's Notes
1)Malaysia is a develop country, which is yet small in the power transformer industry.
2)Local authority like MIDA, should play active role to vet through the importation of transformers in order to protect local transformer market interest.
3)TNB group companies is seen to form majority of Malaysia market for distribution transformers and as a result, the survival of the local manufacturers are solely depending on TNB group requirement.
4)Local manufacturers must obtain optimum design transformers to the customer specification whilst maintaining competitive pricing at any time.
Initiation to develop local vendors for transformer components like high voltage tap changer, high voltage bushing, insulation materials to name a few might assist local transformer manufacturers to offer attractive transformer price in the future.
