3.2. Projects of Emek R&D
3.2.1. Introductions
In this part, some industrial components are introduced in order to explain the
following projects better.
Disconnector
A disconnector can be considered as a special type of switch. It is also called as
disconnect switch or isolator switch. It completely de-energizes an electric circuit. It
is used for service or when a malfunction occurred in sub-station and maintenance is
needed. Until the problem is solved, disconnector keeps the circuit open hence any
possible damage to people is prevented. It is mostly used in electrical distribution and
industrial applications. There are different types of disconnector such as,
• Center-break disconnector,
• Double-break disconnector,
• Pantograph disconnector,
• Horizontal break knee disconnector.
17. 10
ME 400 Summer Practice Report October 18, 2018
Emek Arge is working on pantograph disconnectors. They are responsible for
research and development of the prototype of this type of disconnector. After the R&D
project finish, they will continue to assist on mass production for Emek Electrical
Industry Inc. Please look at the Appendix C.1. to see different types of disconnectors.
3.2.1. Project 1: Inverted Current Transformer
The Project is related to design and production of prototypes of new generation
inverted type current transformers according to IEC standards and receive test
certificate.
The main goal of this project is to produce a product that holds the market and
is not offered in Turkey, by using local resources. Another aim is to satisfy the Internal
Arc Test to decrease damage on nearby equipment and personnel during malfunction
or explosion in sub-station. Lastly, to produce safer products for electric line which
means mechanical endurance to earthquake. In Appendix C.2, different types of
products are shown.
3.2.2. Project 2: Smart Disconnector
Smart disconnector systems increase continuity of supply in energy transmission
line.
Since the electrical distribution companies are privatized, continuity of supply has
become more important. Especially in the areas where land conditions are tough and
radial electrical power distribution systems are used.
The problem of energy continuity transmitted to the end user with radial
distribution systems has been continuing for many years. In radial systems, when a
18. 11
ME 400 Summer Practice Report October 18, 2018
fault occurs in any of the branches fed from the main line, all users in the main line
remain without electricity until the fault point is detected and repaired by the source
in case of failure.
Long-term and costly detection of defective branches in difficult terrain is the
disadvantage of these systems. Some figures about the Radial electrical power
distribution system are showed in Appendix C.3.
In radial electrical power distribution systems to prevent consumers from losing
electricity when a fault occurs in the system, this project would be very helpful by
isolating problematical branch from distribution line because the other branches on
the line are not affected by the malfunction. In order to see the comparison of the
systems with and without smart disconnectors, please look at Appendix C.4.
The project was finished in 2017 by Emek Arge. Manufacturing is continuous.
Some pictures were placed about the prototype in Appendix C.5.
19. 12
ME 400 Summer Practice Report October 18, 2018
3.2.3. Project 3: Pantograph Disconnector
3.2.3.1. Introduction the Pantograph Disconnector
The pantograph disconnector is single break and vertical reach type disconnectors
mounted on a post insulator operated through an operating rod insulator. The divided
support disconnectors are mounted directly on the structure. A technical drawing of
a prototyped pantograph disconnector is placed in Appendix D.1.
The disconnectors and/or earthling switches can be single-pole or three-pole
operated by means of a motor-operated drive mechanism or a manual-operated drive
mechanism.
In case only one drive mechanism is used for three-pole operation, the poles are
interconnected by means of adjustable coupling rods. The drive mechanism also
houses the auxiliary contacts for position indication. (Hapam, 2018)
An overview of the mechanism is showed in Appendix D.2.
3.2.3.2. Introduction the Project
Developing a new pantograph disconnector design which is used in sub-stations in
power transmission industry. All technical problems should be solved before
manufacturing begins. In this report, only one specific problem related with the
project will be discussed. I was assigned this problem personally during my
internship. My responsibilities for the problem were as follows:
1. Investigation of the problem,
2. Search for possible solutions to the problem,
3. Making the necessary calculations for the solution,
4. To submit a report about the related subject.
20. 13
ME 400 Summer Practice Report October 18, 2018
3.2.3.3. Introduction the Problem
As a mechatronic system, in disconnectors, high voltage current passes through
the moving mechanical parts between the main frame and the shafts. In this region,
there is an extra component which has an electrical contact. This term can be used
for a separable connection between two current-carrying conductors which are
pressed together by a mechanical force. The supporting area created by this force
(apparent contact area) does not, however, correspond to the effective contact area (a-
sports) that is available for the transmission of current.
Please look at the Appendix D.3. to see the details of the technical problem.
3.2.3.4. Approach
The effective contact area, depends on a number of parameters as follows;
• Contact force Fk,
• Pollution layer (dirt, oxidation, etc.),
• Roughness (surface characteristics),
• Material characteristics,
• Operating temperature
Since the effective contact area is substantially smaller than the apparent area,
the lines of flow are confined to the individual contact points, resulting in an increase
in resistance which is known as the constriction resistance.
According to the contact model of R. Holm, the constriction resistance Re is
defined as follows;
21. 14
ME 400 Summer Practice Report October 18, 2018
To this are added the effects of a possible pollution layer on the contact
material.
According to the formula:
With increasing force and constant hardness, the contact area can be enlarged
and thin pollution layers can be broken through. The force and constriction formula
determines the correlation between the constriction resistance, the contact force and
the surface hardness of the contacts.
Consequently, it is necessary to use a resistant part which can be resists a
certain mechanical load and high voltage current between the main frame and the
rotating shaft. Therefore, we requested a meeting with Stäubli Inc. In 5.9.2018, I
attended this meeting with general manager Mr. Balya and research engineer Mr.
Duygu at the factory of Emek Electrical Industry Inc. We talked with Mr. Yavuz and
Ms. Gözübüyük who are sales engineers from Stäubli Inc. They informed us about the
22. 15
ME 400 Summer Practice Report October 18, 2018
solution of the problem.
Stäubli (in English usually written as Staubli) is a Swiss mechatronics
company, primarily known for its textile machinery, connectors and robotics products.
Staubli offers mechatronics solutions for electrical connectors, liquid and gas
couplings, robots and textile machinery. (Wikipedia, Staubli, n.d.)
3.2.3.5. Solution: The Multilam Technology
Although a plug connection is not a stationary contact, it is subject to the same
theoretical principles. Multilam are made from specially shaped contact strips (of
copper, copper-beryllium alloy or copper alloy), and according to application they are
plated with silver, gold or nickel and mounted in a slot. (Staubli Catalogue, 2018)
The Multilam creates parallel contact points between the two surfaces from
which each individual Multilam louver serves as an independent, resilient "bridge"
for the transmission of current, thus substantially reducing the contact resistance. On
the basis of the contact force of each Multilam louver, its geometry and spring
characteristics, as well as the known hardness and character of the surface material,
it is possible to reliably calculate the contact resistance. (Staubli Catalogue, 2018)
Please look at the Appendix D.4.
The constant spring pressure of the Multilam louvers ensures a permanent
contact with the contact surfaces which results in a low constant transmission
resistance. (Staubli Catalogue, 2018)
They have a high current-carrying capacity in both short-time and continuous
operation, and ensure a dependable performance over a wide temperature range as
well as a long life. (Staubli Catalogue, 2018)
The geometry of the individual Multilam louvers is designed for a long life, i.e.
their permanent deformation is small and the louvers in the contact zone, which are
23. 16
ME 400 Summer Practice Report October 18, 2018
slightly rounded, permit a large number of sliding cycles. The resistance values
undergo no major changes and remain constant over a long period.
Briefly, Multilam are specially formed and resilient contact elements. Because
of their constant spring pressure, Multilam louvers ensure continuous contact
surface, resulting in a constantly low contact resistance. The different Multilam types
are included in Appendix D.5.
After the meeting, we choose the LA-CU type Multilam. The reasons are as
follows:
• Very good electrical and thermal conductivity,
• Low but adequate contact force minimizes wear,
• Space-saving due to small width (smaller than LA-CUT type),
• High short-circuit current carrying capacity,
• This product allows rotation in both directions,
• Our competitor Güray Elektrik A.Ş. also uses this product. (Güray Elektrik
A.S.̧ manufactures their disconnectors under the patent permission from
Belgium.)
3.2.3.6. Calculations for Selection of Correct Product
All calculations and other details about the project are placed in another
document namely “Using Multilam in Pantograph Disconnectors, Meeting Notes” and
presentations.
I submitted this report which I compiled from my meeting notes and my
studies to the company during my internship period.
Briefly, calculation results are as follow:
24. 17
ME 400 Summer Practice Report October 18, 2018
• If we choose LACU type Multilam, the required diameter of Multilam
connector should be minimum as 27 [mm].
• On the other hand, in recent design, mechanical restrictions increase
this number up to 35 [mm].
• With a new design this number can be reduced.
• As a result of calculations for LAIA Type Multilam, we saw the
calculations holds approximate pre-calculated values. Calculations seem
consistent.
3.2.3.7. Other Considerations
Fail History
• The selection of the connector model which cannot turn on both sides caused a
fail in Güral Elektrik A.Ş.
Warranty
• Final diameter values could be used for real operations. This means, these
numbers are in very safe zone for the test,
• Guarantee continuous after the test,
• Guarantee depends on number of the revolution or journey in km. It not
depends on time.
3.2.3.8. Cost Analysis
Cost Optimization
• Connector manufacturer in Sweden believes in technical accuracy is much
more important the price.
• They do not think any sale due to the recent exchange rate fluctuation.
25. 18
ME 400 Summer Practice Report October 18, 2018
• Since the road warranty is quite tightly linked to the material quality, it affects
the final price significantly. For this reason, desired journey should be
optimum.
• As diameter increases, the journey increases as well. So, diameter should be
selected as optimum.
• Using standard products may be efficient for cost optimization. For example:
o Cost of 1000 products is 30% cheaper than cost of 100 products.
o Cost of 2000 products is 5% cheaper than cost of 1000 products.
• It is not very important at the beginning but cost is much more than linear
increasing with respect to the number of louver. For example:
o If number of louver = 10 -> 10$
o If number of louver = 15 -> >15$
• All prices are open to negotiations. All expectations and details of budget may
affect the final price.
Cost of the Prototype
A related table is given in Appendix D.6.

4. Conclusion
During my summer internship at Emek Arge, I had some very valuable experiences
and I had the opportunity to develop many of my skills. I can sort some of these in the
following way:
• I increased my communication skills with people in a small office environment,
• I had the opportunity to attend an important meeting with sales
representatives from other companies. This gave me clues about how the
communication between companies took place. I even developed ideas about
continuing my after-school career as a sales engineer.
• As a machine engineer candidate, I learned better the importance of curiosity
and observation skills.
• I learned how much knowledge and experience gained during academic life can
make everything easier in professional life.
• I have witnessed the development of research and development stages closely.
• I have seen how programs such as ANSYS and SolidWorks are used.
During the internship, I was one of the most hard-working interns in the office.
When I presented my work to the general manager and project assistants, I enjoyed it.
I was happy to see that I could do something useful for the company for even a very
short time. It encouraged me for my future professional life. Thanks to the technical
knowledge provided by Mechanical Engineering Department in METU and the social
skills provided by METU campus, I can look forward to the future with more hopeful
and courage. I would like to thank all my managers and interns for a great summer
internship experience.
