And Fire Prevention
1 WARNING
1.1 PRV PRESSURE SETTING REQUIREMENT

The TP is developed to protect the transformer tank from rapid increases in pressure
due to low impedance faults. SERGI TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR request at
! least one transformer tank Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) for each transformer and
External OLTC to be protected. If the transformer tank is not equipped with this
device, a quote can be requested and the PRV can be supplied with the TP. The
PRV calibration pressure must be sent to SERGI TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR.
1.2 ELECTRICAL PROTECTION
The TP activation operates in two different modes which are the following:
 Prevention Mode
 Extinction Mode
Both modes require two signals in which one of the signals will come from the TP
system (Rupture Disk or Linear Heat Detector) and another will be supplied from
! the transformer (Electrical Protection).
The client should provide all four Electrical Protection signals:

 Buchholz Relay
 Differential Relay
 Earth Fault Relay
 Over-Current Relay
1.3 STORAGE
When storing the equipment it should be protected from dust, water, humidity,
shocks, vibrations, excessive heat, cold, excessive weight, fire, vermin, mishandling,
! and theft. If this is not done, SERGI TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR withdraws its
guarantee regarding the sold material condition.

And Fire Prevention
2 TP INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING

CERTIFICATE
2.1 OVERVIEW
The TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR (TP) Commissioning Process initiates when the TP has
been completely installed and the testing process has been concluded. The client and TP
installation company should be in constant communication with SERGI TRANSFORMER
PROTECTOR in order to learn the status of the project and expectations for the TP
Commissioning.
The client should send the work plan of the TP installation to SERGI
! TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR, in order for Project Department to anticipate
the installation completion.
The client should inform SERGI TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR at least two

! weeks in advance of the proposed TP Commissioning date.
The client should send to SERGI TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR the work

! permit so that the TP Commissioning Engineer can complete the commissioning
of the TP.
2.2 RESPONSIBILITIES
2.2.1 PURPOSE AND PROCESS
The “End of TP Mechanical Installation Certificate” document defines the components to be
inspected for correct installation and confirmed by the client before the TP Commissioning
Engineer (CE) is sent on-site. By using this document the TP CE evaluates if the TP has been
installed correctly, if possible deviation exists, and by helping the installation of the TP run
smoothly and without delays. The “TP Control Box Logic Test” will help the TP CE in order
to fulfill all the requirements of the entire TP. Both documents confirm the correct
Mechanical and Electrical installation of the TP with the signature of all required parties.
2.3 TP COMMISSIONING PROCESS

To ensure the TP efficiency, performance, and warranty the TP installation will be pre-
evaluated and confirmed on-site by the TP CE. The TP Commissioning Process is the
inspection, testing, and approval of the entire TP System.
 Commissioning Inspection Process - The CE will inspect the entire TP System for
correct installation to ensure that no deviations exist.
 Commissioning Testing Process - The CE will perform the required test on the TP
system to ensure proper functionality.
 Commissioning Approval Process – Only if no deviations are identified during the
Inspection and Testing Process, the CE will conclude the respective Commissioning
and sign the required documentation on-site with the client and installation company
manager and/or supervisor.
The TP Commissioning documentation will confirm the respective TP warranty:

 “End of TP Mechanical Installation Certificate”;
 “TP Control Box Logic Test”;
 “TP Commissioning Certificate”;
 Time Sheet;
 Preparation of commissioning equipments (all personal safety equipments and TP
components required for any type of replacement components to close an open non-
conformity).
 Project Department CE:

 After arriving on-site, the CE inspects all items of the TP and installation. During this
inspection the CE will ensure the TP installation is as per the TP specifications.
 If deviations are found, the CE will inform the Client and Installation Company of the
repairs needed.
 If it is not possible to fix the deviations during the time of commissioning, the CE
will have to leave the job site and return to finish the commissioning. The CEs
travel to leave site and return will be at the client’s expense.
 Once all inspections of the installation have been successfully reviewed by the CE, the
Client, Installation Company, AE (if applies), and CE will sign the “End of TP
Mechanical Installation Certificate”
 Project Department CE:

 Will start the “TP Control Box Logic Test”; the CE will test the Control Box and the
logic of the TP.
 Once the tests have been completed, the Client and CE will sign the “TP Control Box
Logic Test”.
 Project Department CE:

 Once the “End of TP Mechanical Installation Certificate” and “TP Control Box Logic
Test” have been approved and signed the “TP Commissioning Certificate” will need to
be signed by all required parties.
 The original documents (“End of TP Mechanical Installation Certificate”, “TP Control
Box Logic Test”, and “TP Commissioning Certificate”) must be returned to SERGI
TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR to be reviewed by the Project Department Manager.
 The Client and Installation Company will receive copies of all signed documents.

And Fire Prevention
2.3.2 END OF TP MECHANICAL INSTALLATION CERTIFICATE

The “End of TP Mechanical Installation Certificates” is to ensure SERGI TRANSFORMER
PROTECTOR and the client that the product has been properly installed according to the TPs
specifications. This document will also help the Installation Company ensure that the TP is
correctly installed resulting in an efficient and quick installation completion.
This document is for the Client and Installation Company to fill after the complete installation
of the TP. All required document sections should be completed by the Client, Installation
Company, and AE (if applies) before the TP CE can go for the commissioning visit. Every
section should be completed according to how the TP is installed; all components found in the
document that do not apply should be marked as Not Applicable (N/A). It is important that
the section “Deviations/Comments” be filled if any deviations exist. The Installation
Company, Client, and AE (if applies) must initial the bottom of every page as indicated before
sending the document to SERGI TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR.
This procedure is for the use of SERGI TP to:

 Obtain complete information regarding the TP installation supervised by the Client or
Installation Company before going on site for commissioning;
 Verify all the installation requirements of the TP are fulfilled and prepare the
commissioning mission.
If any deviations are found, SERGI TP will inform the installation company of the changes
that need to be made in order for the TP CE to go on-site to commission the TP.
Once the process has been completed, it is decided that the TP CE will go on-site to
commission the TP system; the CE will take an additional two pages which include the
following information:
 State of TP After Intervention
 TP Serial Numbers
 End of TP Mechanical Installation Certificate
 Plant or Substation
 Installation Company
 Client
 SERGI TP CE (depends if the TP mechanical installation is accepted or rejected)
 Replacement Dates
When the TP CE arrives on site, his first priority is to check the assertions of the installation
company.
2.3.3 TP CONTROL BOX LOGIC TEST

Only if the “End of TP Mechanical Installation Certificate” is accepted by the TP CE, then the
“TP Control Box Logic Test” may be evaluated. This document is to make certain of the
installation and TP logic within the TP Control Box. Once all required tests have been
performed, all signatures of required parties will be requested to make the certificate complete
and final.

And Fire Prevention
2.3.4 TP COMMISSIONING CERTIFICATE

Once both commissioning document (“End of TP Mechanical Installation Certificate” and
“TP Control Box Logic Test”) have been approved by the TP CE and signed by all required
parties, the “TP Commissioning Certificate” will need to be signed (Company which ordered
the TP, End User, and the TP CE). This should be filled immediately after the TP installation
and testing process have been concluded. The original documents must be sent back with the
TP CE to be submitted to SERGI TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR for final evaluation.
In order to commission the TP, all necessary equipment must be accessible to

the TP CE (example ladders, scissor lift, etc.) to perform all the necessary
! inspections.
If deviations are identified, they must be completely solved in order to finalize

the TP Commissioning during the TP CE stance onsite. If this is not possible, a
! new mission of the TP CE has to be requested to SERGI TP Sales Department
in order to finalize such TP Commissioning at the client’s expense.
Once all tests have been completed and certificates have been signed, the
Control Box will be put “In Service” and all keys should be removed and
! placed in a designated location.
All original documents will be taken back to SERGI TP Project Department.

SERGI TP Project Department Manager will have a final review of all
! documents. A copy of the documents will be sent via e-mail to the client.

And Fire Prevention
2.4 TP COMMISSIONING FINALIZATION

The TP Commissioning can be finalized if the TP installation has been approved and
confirmed with the End of TP Mechanical Installation and TP Control Box Logic Test. Once
all components have been observed and approved, the inert gas injection valves and the
Isolation Valve can now be opened. After all tests have been performed the Electrical
Actuator is connected by the TP CE.
2.4.1 ELECTRICAL ACTUATOR

The Electrical Actuator should not be connected to the connector box until all
! tests have been completed, to avoid triggering its activation.
The actuator should never be tested with a multi-meter for electrical properties,
! as this could trigger the device with the potential of causing bodily harm.
The Electrical Actuator is installed on the Inert Gas Cylinder by removing the locking nut on
the side of the Inert Gas Cylinder and threading the cable shown in Figure 1 through the
locking nut. The locking nut is re-attached onto the Inert Gas Cylinder making sure the nut is
tightened hand tight +1/4 turn. Special care should be taken with the connection of the
Electrical Actuator to Box No. 3 inside the TP Cabinet, as an incorrect manipulation could
trigger the injection of inert gas.
The Electrical Actuator must be wired to terminals (930 & 931) from Box N°3
! found in the TP Cabinet; with one blue and white wire per terminal (the
polarity of the Electrical Actuator is not significant).
Figure 1: Electrical Actuator Connection
For the Double Cylinder TP Cabinet, the first Electrical Actuator will connect
to terminals 930 & 931 and manometer to terminals 209 & 210. The second
! Electrical Actuator will connect to terminals 932 & 933 and manometer to
terminals 934 & 935. Ensure to follow electrical diagrams.

And Fire Prevention
2.4.2 OPENING THE VALVES

2.4.2.1 Inert Gas Injection Valve(s)
All the inert gas injection valves can be opened and locked in the open position. Opening of
the valves will allow the piping to be purged of all air and completely filled with oil. If the
valve consists of a position indicator or Electro-Valve, the purging will have to be done
before any test can be performed; otherwise the valves can be opened until the tests have been
successfully completed.
2.4.2.2 Isolation Valve(s)

The Isolation Valve should not be opened until the vacuum has been performed.
! It is necessary to vacuum all the air between the Rupture Disk and Isolation
Valve to prevent any air from remaining inside the transformer.
A vacuum is pulled from respective connector found on the Rupture Disk, which will dispatch
all the air found between the Rupture Disk and Isolation Valve.
1. Connect the Rupture Disk Vacuum Quick Connector to the vacuum pump.
2. Connect the Rupture Disk Vacuum Quick Connector to the Rupture Disk Vacuum
Connector.
3. Turn on the vacuum pump and pull a maximum vacuum of -1.01 bar and minimum of
-0.48 bar.
4. Disconnect the Rupture Disk Vacuum Quick Connector.
5. Turn off the vacuum pump.
6. Slowly open the Isolation Valve allowing the oil to come in contact with the Rupture
Disk.
7. Once the Isolation Valve is completely open the “Open Valve” green LED will turn on
and the “Closed Valve” red LED will turn off.

b) DS Adaptation Piece
The 250 mm (9.8-inch) maximum adaptation length from the tank to the outer
! surface of the flange is mandatory. If this Adaptation Piece is longer than 250 mm
(9.8-inch) the TP efficiency will be sharply reduced and the TP guarantee will be
withdrawn.
Vertical, Horizontal, 45°, OLTC, and Oil Cable Box DS Adaptation Piece
The Adaptation Piece is to have total length of 250 mm (9.8-inches) as a maximum; which is
to be measured from the transformer cover/wall to the outer surface of the Adaptation Piece
flange. The total length may not exceed the maximum value but may be at a smaller value
allowing just enough space for the connection of the DS fasteners.
Note: When measuring the Adaptation Piece length on the transformer manhole, the total
length must be measured from the transformer cover/wall (not from the cover of the manhole)
to the outer surface of the Adaptation Piece Flange, which is considered the total length.

3.1.3 OGST SUPPORT

The OGST support will depend on the type of OGST in which is to be installed. The client
and installation company will need to supply supports for the WOGST and the EOGST. The
appropriate support will need to support the weight of the OGST itself, as well as the
additional weight of the OGST filled with transformer oil (OGST minimum volume = 0.5 m3
(132 gallons)). It is important that the OGST support do not interfere with any surrounding
equipment. For the installation of the WOGST, the firewall must be able to support the
installation otherwise additional supports should be applied. The bottom of the EOGST must
be located minimum 100 mm (3.9-inches) above the highest point of the transformer
conservator; and top of the WOGST must be located minimum 100 mm (3.9-inches) above
the highest point of the transformer conservator tank. Below are some examples of EOGST
supports.

3.1.4 TP CABINET FOUNDATION

A concrete foundation of at least 800mm (31.5”) length x 800mm (31.5”) width is to be
prepared. The depth of the foundation is to be calculated by the subcontractor to support the
TP Cabinet total weight of 222 kg (490 lbs), and so that the TP Cabinet will be protected from
possible water damage. A 100mm (4”) diameter pipe is to be routed between the closest
trench used for signal cables and the TP Cabinet foundation. The pipe is to be located in line
with the cable gland in the base of the TP Cabinet.
Figure 13: TP Cabinet

The TP Cabinet must be located on a concrete base and behind the transformer firewall. If no
firewall exists, then a concrete wall must be supplied minimum 5 meters (16.4 ft) from the
transformer. The TP Cabinet must be secured to the base and wall during installation. The
concrete support wall is to be located between the TP Cabinet and the transformer.
Figure 14: TP Cabinet

And Fire Prevention
3.1.5 PIPING AND PIPING SUPPORTS

All piping (IGIP, ODP, GEP, and EGEP) must be Schedule 40. Fitting must be used when
assembling the piping together. Piping supports must be installed to support and secure the
piping. The pipe supports are not included in the TP Scope of Supply (steel supports will be
provided by the Installation Company or Client). These supports will be fixed to a concrete
base provided by the civil works contractor.
3.1.5.1 Inert Gas Injection Piping (IGIP)

The stainless steel IGIP will allow the injection of inert gas from the TP Cabinet to the
transformer, OLTC (if applicable), and OCB (if applicable). Once installed, the IGIP will be
full of transformer oil. IGIP supports and clamps need to be positioned so that the span
between each is no more than 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) and as necessary. The piping support must be
installed close to the Inert Gas Injection Valve to prevent any sagging of the piping. The IGIP
support must consist of clamps to secure the piping. Piping supports are not part of the TP
Scope of Supply; the drawings below are generic examples of the different types of supports
available in the market.

3.1.5.2 Oil Drain Piping (ODP)

The ODP will allow the evacuation of explosive gases and oil from the DS to the OGST
during TP activation. The ODP will only contain gas/oil during TP activation. The ODP size
corresponds to the diameter of the transformer Depressurization Set. The ODP supports and
clamps need to be positioned so that the span between each is no more than 2.5 meters (8.2 ft)
and as necessary. The route of the ODP to the OGST should be level or sloped toward the DS;
this will allow for the depressurized oil to return to the transformer and not remain in the
piping (no dips should exist in the routing). A support should be located close to the
Depressurization Set to prevent any sagging. The DS and OGST should not support the
weight of the ODP. The ODP support must consist of clamps to secure the piping. Piping
supports and clamps are not part of the TP Scope of Supply; the drawings below are generic
examples of the different types of supports available in the market.

3.1.5.3 Gas Evacuation Piping (GEP)

The GEP will allow the evacuation of explosive gases from the transformer to the OGST
during TP activation. The GEP will contain gases during TP activation. The GEP supports
and clamps need to be positioned so that the span between each is no more than 2.5 meters
(8.2 ft) and as necessary. A support should be located close to the GEP connection point to
prevent any sagging of the Depressurization Set. The VDS has a 1-inch GEP connect to then
be connected directly to the OGST. In the case of the HDS, a GEP will be connected from the
transformer conservator piping (between the Buchholz Relay and the conservator tank) to the
OGST with 1-inch piping. The GEP support must consist of clamps to secure the piping.
Piping supports are not part of the TP Scope of Supply; the drawings below are generic
examples of the different types of supports available in the market.

And Fire Prevention
3.1.5.4 Explosive Gas Evacuation Piping (EGEP)

The EGEP will allow the evacuation of explosive gases from the OGST to a safe remote area
during TP activation. The EGEP will only contain gases during TP activation. The EGEP
supports and clamps need to be positioned so that the span between each is no more than 2.5
meters (8.2 ft) and as necessary. If the transformer consists of a firewall then the supports
similar to the ones shown below may be used to support and secure the piping, otherwise the
supports can be secured to a concrete foundation.
The routing and supporting of the EGEP must take into consideration:
 The piping must be at least 100 mm (3.9 inches) above the OGST.
 The piping exit must be a minimum of 5 meters (16.4 ft) from the ground,
 The piping exit must be a minimum of 5 meters (16.4 ft) from the transformer, and
 The piping exit must be a minimum of 5 meters (16.4 ft) from all surrounding
equipment.
The EGEP is routed from the OGST to a designated area with 2-inch piping. The piping
should bear on the supports and be properly clamped to the support. Piping supports are not
part of the TP Scope of Supply; the drawings below are generic examples of the different
types of supports available in the market.

4.2 LINEAR HEAT DETECTOR

The LHD will detect heat anywhere along its length; it is capable of initiating an alarm once
its rated activation temperature is reached. The LHD sensor cable is comprised of two steel
conductors individually insulated with a heat sensitive polymer. The insulated conductors are
twisted together to impose a spring pressure between them, then wrapped with a protective
tape and finished with an outer jacket for the environment in which the LHD will be installed.
At the rated temperature, the heat sensitive polymer insulation yields to the pressure upon it,
permitting the inner conductors to move into contact with each other thereby initiating an
alarm signal. This action takes place at the first heated point anywhere along the LHD’s
length.

4.3 AIR ISOLATION SHUTTER

The Air Isolation Shutter (AIS) is used to evacuate all explosive gases collected by the OGST
after the TP activates. It prevents air or objects (rain, sand, animals …) from entering the
EGEP and OGST. The main component of the AIS is the check valve. At the normal state,
the AIS is closed and sealed. Once the TP has activated, the plunger will open with the flow
of the explosive gases, which will allow the AIS to expel the explosive gases to the
atmosphere in a remote and safe area.

5 TP INSTALLATION
5.1 OVERVIEW
The Depressurization Set serves to safely depressurize the transformer and remove the
explosive gas and oil mixture from the transformer. The explosive gas and oil mix is
channeled to the OGST via the piping linked to the Depressurization Set output flange.
The client is responsible for supplying all the piping required for the connection of the
different elements of the TP, unless ordered as an option. Four different types of piping are
required:
 Oil Drain Pipe (ODP): This pipe connects the Depressurization Set to the OGST.
This pipe is empty while the TP is in stand-by mode.
 Gas Evacuation Pipe (GEP): This pipe will channel inert and explosive gas from the
transformer to the OGST. This pipe is empty while the TP is in stand-by mode.
 Explosive Gas Evacuation Pipe (EGEP): This pipe will channel explosive gases to a
safe environment from the OGST. This pipe is empty while the TP is in stand-by
mode.
 Inert Gas Injection Pipe (IGIP): The IGIP is routed from the TP Cabinet to the
transformer, OLTC (if applicable) and Oil Bushing Cable Box (if applicable). This
piping is used to inject inert gas into the transformer, OLTC, and Oil Cable Boxes. It
contains oil while the TP is in stand-by mode.
All gaskets should be removed when welding is being performed on flanges to prevent
damage to the gasket material. All welded surfaces on carbon steel piping have to be coated
with a cold galvanic product. All pipes to be painted with green paint (reference RAL 6011).
When the welding has been completed, the valves should be locked in the closed position
until the commissioning of the TP.
The efficiency of the TP is dependent on the distance between the Rupture Disk
and the transformer tank. Thus the following four items must be respected
! otherwise the TP efficiency will be sharply reduced and the TP guarantee will be
withdrawn.
1. No addition length of pipe can be added between the TP and the DS. The 250
mm (9.8-inches) maximum criteria for the Adaptation Piece must be
respected. The measurements are to be taken from the transformer
cover/wall to the outer surface of the Adaptation Piece Flange.
2. No additional valve may be inserted before or after the TP Isolation Valve;
3. No other valve may be used to substitute the TP Isolation Valve between the
transformer tank and the DS;
4. No elbow can be added between the transformer tank and the TP DS;

And Fire Prevention
5.1.1 DS MOUNTING
Once the Isolation Valve has been installed, the Depressurization Set can be lifted into
position. The Shock Absorber flange is connected directly to the Isolation Valve. The Shock
Absorber on the Depressurization Set is shipped with three spacer rods that have to be
removed before the installation (these spacer rods should be saved in a known location for
possible later use).
The Depressurization Set is kept in position via the lifting hooks, while measurements to size
the Depressurization Set Support are being taken. Slots on the Mounting Bracket allow for
adjusting the Depressurization Set by a total distance of 40mm (1.6 inches) in the vertical
plane. The Depressurization Set must be installed horizontally to avoid any distortion on the
Shock Absorber.
For the 45°DS and HDS, the Depressurization Set Support is to be located between the
Depressurization Set Support Plate and the transformer. If the support is to be located from
the ground instead of the transformer then a concrete based will need to be supplied by the
civil work contractor. The support base needs to be able to support at least 400kg (880 lbs).
It is of the utmost importance that no other valve than the Isolation Valve is
fitted between the transformer tank, OLTC or OBC and the TRANSFORMER
! PROTECTOR, otherwise the TP efficiency will be sharply reduced and the TP
guarantee will be withdrawn.
When applying torque to the bolts, please follow the Bolt Tightening Procedure
! found in Section 7.6 and the Torque Values found in Section 7.1 or in the figure
in that particular section.

5.2 VERTICAL DEPRESSURIZATION SET

5.2.2 DEPRESSURIZATION SET INSTALLATION

The DS is shipped assembled so only the Adaptation Piece needs to be fitted locally. The
Adaptation Piece is the client’s scope of supply and must be compatible for its connection
onto the transformer cover.
The following is a brief procedure that should be followed when installing the VDS:
1. Close the Conservator pipe valve, if one is installed.
2. Drain the transformer to below the level of flange where the DS is being installed.
3. Adaptation Piece Preparation:
(a) Existing Transformers
The manhole is to be properly removed and installed with the DS Adaptation Piece.
The Adaptation Piece (flange with the respective pipe) must be fitted and welded on
the transformer cover manhole before initiating the assembly. The total length of the
Adaptation Piece must not exceed 250 mm (9.8-inches); measured from the
transformer cover (not from the manhole) to the outer surface of the Adaptation Piece
Flange (See Figure 3).
(b) New Transformers
Remove the blind flange from the Adaptation Piece designated for the TP. The total
length of the Adaptation Piece must not exceed 250 mm (9.8-inches).
4. The Nebar Gasket (TP scope of supply) should be placed between the Adaptation
Piece Flange and the VDS. It is recommended to put some grease/gum on both sides
of the gasket’s face to allow it to paste onto the Adaptation Piece Flange and the VDS
base support.
5. Lift the VDS into place. The VDS should be orientated so that the piping can be
connected without difficulty.
6. The VDS is positioned onto the Adaptation Piece Flange and gasket according to the
ODP and GEP design layout.
7. The VDS is fastened with the short threaded rods and properly torque.
8. The Nitrile 70D Gasket (TP scope of supply) should be placed between the VDS ODP
connection and the ODP. The ODP should be connected directly from the VDS to the
OGST. The ODP size will coincide with the VDS size and should not be reduced
anywhere along its path.
9. The Nitrile 70D Gasket (TP scope of supply) should be placed between the VDS GEP
connection and the GEP. The DN 25 (1-inch) GEP should be connected directly from

5.10 SHOCK ABSORBER

The Shock Absorber is positioned between the Isolation Valve and Rupture Disk, which are
all part of the Depressurization Set. The DS must be completely stable and not depend on the
Shock Absorber. The Shock Absorber is sent with three spacer rods to prevent damage due to
compression of the Shock Absorber during shipment. The three spacer rods (distance sleeves
and bolts) must be removed during installation.
Figure 70: Shock Absorber

Below are the Shock Absorber measurements that should be respected during installation.
Once the installation is complete these measurements will need to be recorded in the “End of
TP Mechanical Installation Certificate”. The SA1-SA4 measurements are taken to ensure the
dimensions agree all around the Shock Absorber. The SA5 and SA6 are taken to ensure that
the Shock Absorber flanges are in line with each other.

5.11 RUPTURE DISK

The Isolation Valve must be closed when installing the TP components. The air between the
Isolation Valve and the Rupture Disk must be removed before the Isolation Valve can be
opened. A Vacuum pump connector is provided on the Rupture Disk. Once vacuum has been
pulled, the Isolation Valve can be opened, allowing oil to enter in contact with the Rupture
Disk.

Figure 72: Rupture Disk
The Rupture Disk also consists of a Rupture Disk Over Pressure Protection (RDOPP). The
RDOPP is used to prevent the opening of the Rupture Disk during the maintenance of the TP
by evacuating the overpressure created by the oil thermal expansion. The RDOPP opening
value has been calibrated to react before the Rupture Disk in consequence with the increase of
the static pressure in the enclosed space. The RDOPP is used only when there is an Isolation
Valve between the transformer and the Rupture Disk. Since the RDOPP is a check valve for
overpressure conditions, there exists the possibility that oil will leak from this component
during the static pressure increase of the oil.

5.11.1 RUPTURE DISK AND SHOCK ABSORBER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

The installation proceeds as follows:
1. The long threaded bolts are fitted through the inside of the Decompression Chamber.
The number of threaded rods will depend on the DS size.
2. The 70D Nitrile Gasket (TP scope of supply) should be placed between the
Decompression Chamber and the Rupture Disk. It is recommended to put some
grease/gum on both sides of the gasket’s face to allow it to paste onto the
Decompression Chamber and the Rupture Disk.
3. The Rupture Disk is placed into position (with the top of the ID tag facing the
Decompression Chamber).
4. The Shock Absorber is placed after the Rupture Disk, where the long threaded rods
will be secured to the Shock Absorber flange.
5. All threaded rods are torque completing the installation of the Rupture Disk. The
Decompression Chamber, Rupture Disk and Shock Absorber are now all secured
together.
6. The short threaded rods are now screwed onto the exposed face of the Isolation Valve
(the side of the Isolation Valve facing away from the transformer). The amount of
short threaded rods will depend on the size of the DS.
7. The long threaded rods are inserted through the Shock Absorber and attached with a
split lock washer and nut.
8. The DS is positioned close to the Isolation Valve where the long threaded rods are
secured to the Adaptation Piece flange which is part of the Adaptation Piece. The
Isolation Valve short threaded rods are also secured to the Shock Absorber flange
during the positioning of the components.
9. All nuts are properly torque.
10. All torque values should be checked, which can be found in Section 7.1 of this
document.
11. It is important that the support for the DS be installed during this process. The DS
should not be tilted at an upward or downward angle, which could cause damage to
the Shock Absorber and result in disapproval of the mechanical installation.
Please refer to the Electrical Interconnection Diagram that pertains to TP System being
installed for Rupture Disk electrical connection terminals to the Control Box. (Example:
Transformer Rupture Disk  Terminals 101 and 102).
It is of the upmost importance that the Rupture Disk is installed in the proper
position, that the disk is treated with a great deal of care, and that the disk is not
! dropped or damaged. If any of these conditions occur the TP guarantee will be
withdrawn.

The TP Cabinet contains the Inert Gas Cylinder which is all part of the Inert Gas Injection Set
(IGIS). The TP Cabinet should be installed 5 meters (16.4 ft) away from the transformer and
behind a concrete wall if no transformer firewall exists, otherwise the TP Cabinet must be
place behind the firewall opposite of the transformer.
A base must be prepared to mount the TP Cabinet. The TP Cabinet is designed for attaching
four M8 bolts to the base. The total weight of the cabinet is 222kg (490 lbs), so the base
design should take this into consideration. The TP Cabinet is also supplied with brackets that
connect to the back of the TP Cabinet, where M12 bolts should be used for fixing the TP
Cabinet to the firewall or concrete wall. The Inert Gas Cylinder should be placed inside the
TP Cabinet only once it has been properly fastened and all the piping connections have been
completed.
The proper cables must be routed between the Control Room (where the Control Box is
located) and the TP Cabinet. A cable conduit must be provided which runs between the base
of the TP Cabinet and a cable trench for this cable.

The LHD cable is routed in a loop on the transformer cover and as close as possible to the
edge around the perimeter of the transformer. When the transformer consists of an OCB or
OLTC, the LHD cable should be installed around the upper perimeter of these components as
shown below.
*LHD Cable shown in red on different transformers for illustration purposes.
Figure 101: LHD Cable Routing for Transformer with OCB and OLTC
In order to avoid personnel from tripping or being injured, the LDH cable
! should be properly fixed to the transformer. The LHD cable being secured to the
transformer cover will ensure the cable stays in the desired position.
And Fire Prevention
The LHD 3-Way connection box serves to make the connection of the LHD loop on the
transformer cover to the transformer connection box. The supplied Fire Proof cable is used
between the three-way connection box and the transformer interconnection box as shown in
Figure 102. As per the image below, the wires can be connected to the Marshalling Box
Control Box as follows: Black  Terminal 121, White  Terminal 122, Red  Terminal
123, and Green  Terminal 124 (always follow the Electrical Interconnection Diagram when

And Fire Prevention
Any piping that is connected to the transformer must be installed with the IFS. In the case of
Figure 106, both the OLTC and Vertical DS need to be protected. For the VDS a kit would
need to be installed on the ODP and the GEP connections. A IFS would also need to be
installed on the IGIP for the transformer and OLTC.
Figure 106: Examples of Insulating Flange Set location for a TPA with SOGST
The Insulating Flange Set should be installed close to the transformer; between
! the transformer and any component that is in contact with ground or grounded.

And Fire Prevention
5.22 ELECTRO VALVE

The Electro Valve without function, open or close, according to the logic of the TP. The
valve should be installed so that the valve’s position indicator (open/closed) can be easily
seen. The following figures show acceptable and not acceptable positions for the Electro
Valve installation.
The Electro Valve must only be installed in the acceptable positions as shown
below. If unable to install the Electro Valve in the acceptable position, then the
! routing of piping must be modified so that the Electro Valve can be correctly
installed.
a) Horizontal Pipes:

b) Vertical Pipes:
Figure 108: Electro Valve position on Vertical Pipes

And Fire Prevention
5.23 CONSERVATOR SHUTTER

If purchased as an option, the Conservator Shutter must always be installed on a horizontal
section of piping. Small slopes with a maximum of 5 degrees are permitted, between the
conservator shutter and the Buchholz Relay. It is recommended to install two manual valves
(for maintenance and replacement purposes) on the conservator pipe; one between the
conservator tank and the Conservator Shutter, and the second between the Buchholz Relay
and the transformer tank. The Conservator Shutter TL24 has been designed to fit onto 2-inch
piping and TL34 onto 3-inch piping. (The flanges and fasteners are not part of the TP Scope
of Supply.)
The Conservator Shutter must be installed at least 200 mm below the minimum oil level in the
Conservator Tank. The inscriptions on the Conservator Shutter flanges indicate where the
flanges should be connected. The terminals on the Conservator Shutter for wiring connection
to the control room warning panels must be placed so that they are in the upper most position,
which will ensure that the Conservator Shutter will operate efficiently and correctly. To do
so, the two upper holes of the flange should be placed in the highest position allowing no roll
angle; as shown in Figure 109.

To perform the electrical installation, the terminal cover on the Conservator Shutter, must be
taken off by removing the two screws. Once the terminal cover has been removed, the 2-core
electric cable can be introduced through the metallic cable gland PG13.5. Two terminals are
provided for the connection of the cable. Each terminal has an M6 threaded section with a nut
for the electrical connection. Once the terminals have been attached, the terminal cover can be
replaced in its original position by applying a torque of 5.5 N·m to both bolts.

7.4 WELDING
This section of the document is intended to help the installation company with the pipe
welding used during the installation of the TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR. It is based on
the API Standard 1104 and AWS Standards. It is important that any welds on all piping are
made by qualified welders, equipment in optimal condition, electrodes suitable, always
maintaining a high standard in safety standards and appropriate personal protective
equipment, in order to ensure proper implementation and quality in welding.
7.4.1 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Personal safety is a determining factor when welding; hence it is obligatory to use the
following personal protective equipment:
 Welding Mask
 Leather Gloves
 Leather Apron
 Safety Shoes
 Hat
 Mask
It is important to keep fire extinguishing equipment in close proximity in case of an
emergency.
7.4.2 JOINT PREPARATION

Whatever welding process that is used, the most important point in this process is the
preparation of welding joints. Schedule 40 piping is recommended for all types of piping,
either in carbon steel or stainless steel piping. Based on this requirement, all joints should be
prepared according to Figure 111.

b = separation of the joint to be welded
c = thickness of the pipe
The recommended joint angle is 70 degrees.

And Fire Prevention
7.4.3 WELDING TYPES

Regardless of the piping material, it is possible to use different methods of welding; being the
most common because of its versatility to bring onto the job site, are the following systems:
- Manual Arc Welding System
- TIG Welding System
7.4.4 CARBON STEEL PIPING

This type of piping can be welded by the both types of systems mentioned in 7.4.3– Welding
Types, without any difficulty for the experienced welder.
7.4.4.1 Manual Arc Welding System

Before completely welding the pipe, it is recommended to set the welding parts in 4
equidistant parts. This ensures that the tubes are concentric and simultaneously facilitate the
welding distortion, preventing any heat effect.
The first pass or root bead can be made with the electrode AWS E6011 of 1/8”. The following
passes are made with an electrode AWS E7018. These passes should be done with an
electrode of greater diameter, in a manner that the contributing material be greater and be
done in fewer passes. This helps the welding process by avoiding overheating and reducing
welding time. Then, an electrode diameter of 5/32” or 3/16” can be used.
Permanent cleaning with a steel brush would help in preventing oxidation and maintain the
surface ready to continue the process.
7.4.4.2 TIG Welding System

If the system is to be TIG welded, it is recommended to maintain the same principles
described in the above sections. Perform the first two strands with electrode AWS ER70.
The following passes can be done with coated electrodes using the manual arc welding
system.
7.4.5 STAINLESS STEEL PIPING

To weld this type of pipe, it is recommended to keep the same principles as described above
in Section 7.4.4 – Carbon Steel Piping.
You can use the manual arc welding system, but its cost is expensive because of the efficiency
in the use of the electrodes. Hence, it is recommended to use TIG welding with stainless steel
electrodes with similar characteristics to the material being used.

9 GLOSSARY
Adaptation Piece: The Adaptation Piece is a pipe and flange that are installed on the
transformer, OLTC, and OCB/OBCB for the installation of the Depressurization Set. The
Adaptation Piece is a very critical element of the TP installation.
Air Isolation Shutter: The AIS is a check valve which is used to evacuate all the explosive
gases collected after the activation of the TP. The AIS will only allow the explosive gases to
evacuate the transformer, DS, piping, and OGST while not permitting air to come into contact
with any explosive gases found in the system.
Control Box: The Control Box defines the TP operation logic.
Decompression Chamber: The Decompression Chamber will allow the pressure reduction
eliminating the wave of pressure generated by the dynamic pressure inside the transformer in
the case of an event.
Depressurization Set: The DS is attached to the transformer, OLTC, and OCB/OBCB to

allow the depressurization in the case of an internal fault. The DS can be supplied in three
different configurations (VDS, 45°DS, and HDS) for the transformer, and can also be
supplied for the OLTC (internal and external) and/or OCB/OBCB. The DS is made of several
different components such as the following: Isolation Valve, Shock Absorber, Rupture Disk,
and Decompression Chamber.
Electrical Actuator: The Electrical Actuator is a pyrotechnic device which is activated by a

short circuit controlled by the Control Box logic. Its activation is done once several states are
confirmed in the Control Box. Once the Electrical Actuator is activated, it has to be replaced.
Electrical Protection: The Electrical Protection Signals are four signals which are the
following: Buchholz Relay, Differential Relay, Earth Fault Protection Relay, and Over-
Current Relay. The TP logic functions with the input of the Electrical Protection signals.
Electro Valve: The Electro Valve consists of allowing or blocking the passage of a fluid or
gas. The Electro Valve operating time (0° - 90°) is 6 seconds, and it has a weight of 7 kgs
(15.5 lbs). It should be installed as per space available.
Elevated Oil-Gas Separation Tank: The EOGST is an OGST option with a minimum
volume of 0.5 m3 (132 gallons). The EOGST is a cylindrical compartment design and
mounted with a minimum of 100 mm (4-inches) above the transformer conservator.
Explosive Gas Evacuation Pipe: The EGEP will allow the explosive gases to exit from the
entire system to a safe area away from the transformer and all surrounding equipment. The
EGEP is routed from the OGST to a selected area where the explosive gases could be ejected
to the environment without damaging any equipment or hurting any plant personnel.
External OLTC Depressurization Set: The External OLTC DS is an OLTC DS that is

installed on the OLTC cover. The DS consists of an ODP connection which is routed to the
main ODP that comes from the transformer DS. The External OLTC DS components are:
Isolation Valve, Shock Absorber, Rupture Disk, and Decompression Chamber.

And Fire Prevention
Gas Evacuation Pipe: The GEP will allow evacuation of the explosive gases and inert gas
after TP activation. The GEP configuration is installed based on the TP type (VDS or HDS).
Horizontal Depressurization Set: The HDS is a transformer DS that is installed on the

transformer wall and must be supported. The DS consists of an ODP connection which is
routed to the OGST. The HDS components are: Isolation Valve, Shock Absorber, Rupture
Disk, and Decompression Chamber. The HDS requires a GEP kit to be installed on the
transformer conservator piping between the Buchholz and the conservator to allow explosive
gases to evacuate from the transformer.
Inert Gas Injection Pipe: The IGIP will allow the injection of inert gas into the transformer
from the TP Cabinet. The IGIP is to be routed from the TP Cabinet to the transformer,
OLTC, and OCB. The IGIP will be full of transformer oil while it is in stand-by mode.
During an activation inert gas will be injected through the IGIP at 1 bar into the bottom of the
transformer, OLTC (if applies), and OCB (if applies).
Internal OLTC Depressurization Set: The Internal OLTC DS is installed on the OLTC
cover. The DS consists of an ODP connection which is routed to the main ODP that comes
from the transformer DS. The Internal OLTC DS components are: Rupture Disk and
Decompression Chamber.
Isolation Valve: The purpose of Isolation Valve is to isolate the TP from the transformer
during installation and maintenance phases.
Linear Heat Detector: The LHD Set is installed on the transformer cover to detect external
heat excess. A signal will be received in the Control Box warning that an LHD event has
occurred. The LHD Set will aim to confirm along with the electrical protections to inject inert
gas into the transformer to keep the transformer interior under secure conditions.
Non-Return Valve: The NRV prevents the transformer from draining if the IGIP was to be
broken or accidently damaged. The NRV should be installed on all of the IGIP connections
(transformer, Internal OLTC, External OLTC, and OCB). The NRV should be installed in
close proximity to the transformer, OLTC, and OCB IGIP valve.
Oil Bushing Cable Box Depressurization Set: The OBCB DS is a DS that is installed on the
OBCB wall. The DS consists of an ODP connection which is routed to the main ODP that
comes from the transformer DS. The OBCB DS components are: Isolation Valve, Shock
Absorber and Rupture Disk.
Oil Cable Box Depressurization Set: The OCB DS is a DS that is installed on the OCB wall.
The DS consists of an ODP connection which is routed to the main ODP that comes from the
transformer DS. The OCB DS components are: Isolation Valve, Shock Absorber and Rupture
Disk.
Oil Drain Pipe: The ODP will allow the evacuation of explosive gases and oil during the TP
activation. The ODP takes into account the transformer, OLTC, and OCB/OBCB drain
connections. The ODP will be routed connecting the Decompression Chamber with the
OGST.

And Fire Prevention
Oil-Gas Separation Tank: The OGST is a tank where explosive gases and oil will be
expelled when the TP is activated. The OGST geometry with a volume of 0.5m³ will depend
on the configuration of the proposed OGST (SOGST, WOGST, or EOGST).
Rupture Disk: The Rupture Disk is a component that is installed on all the different types of
Depressurization Sets. The Rupture Disk is calibrated to open at a specific pressure set point
according to the transformer characteristics. When the Rupture Disk is opened an electric
signal given by one or two Burst Indicators will send the open Rupture Disk information to
the Control Box.
Safety Relief Valve: The SRV prevents the over pressurizing of the IGIP. The SRV has an
opening set point of 3.5 bars (50 psi).
Shock Absorber: The purpose of the Shock Absorber is to reduce the propagation waves
generated during the TP Depressurization Process.
Slice Oil-Gas Separation Tank: The SOGST is an OGST option with a minimum volume of
0.5 m3 (132 gallons). The transformer manufacturer will construct a reserved compartment of
the transformer conservator for the SOGST.
TP Cabinet: The TP utilizes the inert gas to evacuate all explosive gases generated and
stabilize the transformer to a safe condition once the depressurization process has occurred.
The inert gas is kept in a cylinder of up to 200 bar (2900 psi) inside the TP Cabinet and is
properly secure under a controlled temperature of 15C (59°F).
Transformer Protector: The TP depressurizes transformer within milliseconds avoiding

explosion and subsequent fire. During a transformer short-circuit the TP is activated within
milliseconds by the first dynamic pressure peak of the shock wave, avoiding transformer
explosions before static pressure increases. The TP is a concept that can be applied to all
transformers from 0.1 to 1000 and larger MVA power rating.
Vertical Depressurization Set: The VDS is a transformer DS that is installed on the

transformer cover. The DS consists of a GEP and ODP connection which are routed to the
OGST. The VDS components are: Isolation Valve, Shock Absorber, Rupture Disk, and
Wall mounted Oil-Gas Separation Tank: The WOGST is an OGST option with a minimum
volume of 0.5 m3 (132 gallons). The WOGST will be mounted on the transformer firewall at
least 100 mm (4-inches) above the transformer conservator.
45° Depressurization Set: The 45°DS is a transformer DS that is installed on the transformer
cover and must be supported. The DS consists of an ODP connection which is routed to the
OGST. The 45°DS components are: Isolation Valve, Shock Absorber, Rupture Disk, and
