This Installation and Operation Instruction applies to on-load/off-load tap changer epoxy resin casting thin-insulation dry transformer with 5000KVA ,35KV and below.

Characteristic and purposes

The resin casting, thin-insulation, dry transformer manufactured by our factory have adopted advanced foreign technique, workmanship and equipments. The technical performance index completely reach the similar product standard of Italian MARNATE company, totally in accordance with GB6450-86GB/T10228-1997 and relevant IEC standards. The product features high energy-efficiency, small volume, lightness, anti-humidity,anti-impulse, inflaming retarding, small partial-discharge, high overload capacity, automatic temperature-regulating and so on. Its widely be used in power transportation and transformation system, hotels and restaurants, high-rises, commercial center, stadium, petro-chemical works, subway, railway, airport, oil derrick at sea and so on, especially installed on the limit-space, nearness to load center and areas which have special fire-proof requirements. This fully demonstrate its superiority in volume and inflammation retarding.

Usage condition and installation

1 Cooling methods could be divided into two classes: air-cooling(AN), Fan cooling(AF) 2 Shielding Level: IP00, IP20(outside) and so on 3 Ambient temperate: no more than 40. Altitude no more than 1000m. if the ambient temperature exceeds 40, or altitude 1000m, some adjustment must be done according to GB6450-86 and relevant regulations. 4 The insulating level of produce is F. 5 The product ,commonly, is installed indoors. The installation place should be clean , ventilated, enjoying proper atmosphere. If the transformer is installed underground or any other area which has limited space, ventilation must be guaranteed. For 1 KW loss of our product, there must be 4 m3 ventilation volume each minute. 6 when installing, there should be 300mm gap between the product and walls or other barrier, the gas between transformers 300mm. But for the electric switch box and other place with limited space, that distance could be adjusted. 7 In general, the transformer could be placed directly in the usage field, after checkup, it could be put into operation. For the filed with proof-earthquake requirements and other special conditions, the base for transformer installation should have bolts, when installing, disassemble the wheel of carriage, fix the transformer through bolts.

Shipment

1 The weather factory must be taken into account when shipping. The bad weather should be avoided. If shipping meets storm, necessary measures should be taken to prevent snow or rain from the transformer. Shipment cannot be done when ambient temperature is -5 and below. 2 When shipping, the slant angle should be no more than 30.

3 The product commonly is shipped totally. No disassembly for parts. If some accessories indeed need to be disassemble owing to weather factor, after the shipment, the customer should check the items in light of the accessories list, and install the items accordingly. For the acceleration , should be 1.0g horizontally, 1.5g vertically. 4 For the transformer with carriage, the wheel could be turned at 90. In order to prevent the motion of transformer in the shipment, commonly, the wheel was fixed on the wheel carrier reversely. 5 when lifting the transformer with packing case., the wire rope should be bound on the four padding blocks of the case, the angle between the wire rope and the horizon should be no more than 60. If no packing case , or the transformer is lifted directly from the case, all the lifting plate on the core&windings assembly should be put into use. If owing to lifting height limit, the beam could be used to hoist the transformer.

checkup and Inspection

when the transformer arrive at the final destination, the following checkup items should be done: 1 whether the nameplate is in accordance with the requirements, for example, designation, rated voltage, connection symbol, short circuit impedance and so on. 2 pads(if have ) should be cleaned up. Check whether there is any damage, displacement for all parts. Whether Joints are rickety, ruptured. Make sure no other object, dirty things. 3 whether the accessories ,parts are in accordance with packing list. 4 After the checkup, if no operation at once, the transformer should be re-packed, placed in the clean, ventilated inside area to prevent theft and any damage.

Checkup before operation

Following checks must be done before operation of the transformer. 1 check all the fasteners, joints, etalons, screw each one. 2 check whether the parts disassembled before is fixed correctly, make sure no other objects in the core&windings assembly 3 please read the instructions about motor fan, devices about temperatures and so on, make sure all this equipments and its accessory should be operated normally. 4 Check whether the cover ,iron core of the transformer is earthed permanently.

Tests before operation

Following tests should be made before operation: 1 Measure the winding D.C. resistance 2 Check whether the iron core is earthed reliably. 3 Test on insulating resistance, the value should meet as follows: High voltage -----Low Voltage, earth300M

Low voltage ------ earth 100M When in dry condition, its easy to reach the value of insulating resistance, but when in humid condition, the value could be drop. In general, if insulating resistance value of each rated voltage 100V could be bigger than 2 M(reading for one minute 25 ), it could meet the operation requirements. If the condensed dew come to the transformer due to great humidity, It must be dry up before voltage withstand test or operation.

4. for dry type power transformers with OLTC, test and examine OLTC before operation starts. 5. the voltage of external working frequency pressure-bearing experiment should be 85% of the delivery test voltage, duration is 5 minutes.

Put into operation

1. voltage regulation taps should be adjusted properly before operation, use temperature controll and temperature displaying instruments in a correct way. Taking operating reliability and observation convenience into consideration, temeperature icontroller is advised to be installed on screen counter, hung and fixed on the wall or on the isolated barrier block to ensure reading accuracy and personnel safety. Please see details in temperature controller instructions. (1). For no-load voltage regulation, end connectors of on-load voltage regulation taps should be connected to corresponding positions as per nameplate. (2). For on-load voltage regulation, see OLTC manual. (3). For power transformers with temperature controll panel and temperature displaying instrument, see their manuals respectively. 2. when operating, load should be increased step by step, sudden high load is forbidden. 3. generally speaking, the power transformer can restart without any extra measure after the operation. But in the case of condensation phenomena, need a dry processing before restart.

Maintenance

Regular examination and maintenance is necessary for normal operation: 1. if power transformer site is dry and clean, examination and maintenance should be done once a year or a bit longer. But if the dustiness index at site goes beyond the environmental protection range or polluted by photochemical smog, examination must be done every three to six months. 2. during examination process, clean it if too much dust collect to keep ventilation and avoid insulation breakdown. Especially clean the insulators, top and bottom

part of windings, clean dust in vent airway by vacuum cleaner. 3. check tightness of fastener and connecting fittings, rustiness and corrosion of conductive parts and other parts. Observe if there is creepage trace and carbonization phenomena on the surface of insulation pieces, and take measure when necessary.

Safety tips

1. before putting into operation of assembled power transformer, if its uncovered, a isolated barrier block is a must to avoid accidents. 2. after the power transformer is put into operation, no touch to the main body to avoid accidents. 3. the shortest distance between resin molded windings and house walls, see as below supplement: power transformers being over-load temporarily. Over-load capacity of power transformers has some relationship with winding time constant, initial load and circumstance temperature. See over-load graph of this product as below:

Note: for dry type power transformer with both self-cooling and air-cooling methods, if its load goes beyond self-cooling rated value and winding temperature goes higher than control value, temperature controller will make the fan work, supply the heat delivery surface with wind, strengthen the cooling effect and then lower the winding temperature, it can increase the capacity of power transformer for a short time. It is the operation in air-cooling way. But the power transformer is no good being operated this way continuously for a long time.
