Erection of Transformer
Erection of Transformer
Wherever transformers are mounted on poles the structure should be strong enough to
withstand weight of the transformer, wind pressure and other atmospheric conditions.
Erection of transformer :
Generally small transformers upto 1000 KVA are despatched oil filled fitted with all fittings.
Fittings dismantled to facilitate transport, may be reassembled in the following sequence
depending on the site conditions.
Sequence of erection :
a) Fitting of rollers
b) Oil check
c) Conservator
d) Buchholz relay and pipe work
e) Silicagel dehydrating
f) Explosion vent
g) Terminals HV LV bushings or cable boxes, CT terminals etc.
h) Topping up of oil
i) Radiators
j) Temperature indicators
k) Marshalling Boxes
Details of erection :
All fittings and accessories should be assembled as shown in outline drawing.
a)
Rollers :
i)
Before mounting of rollers they should be checked for soundness of casting and that
bearing surmace is not damaged.
Oil check :
A sample of oil should be taken out from bottom of tank and tested for the Electric
strength, ( break down voltage ) which should not be below 30 KV (RMS) when tested
on a standard test as specified in IEC 600296 Table 1-9. (Electrode dia. 120.5 mm
