Do's and Don't Transformers

This document provides dos and don'ts for power transformers. The dos include connecting gas cylinders to maintain positive pressure for stored transformers, filling transformers with oil, equalizing diverter compartments, removing loose objects before work, checking transformers after alarms, cleaning bushings periodically, checking oil quality, maintaining oil levels, and removing air before energizing. The don'ts include energizing without investigation after alarms, re-energizing without checks, handling off-circuit taps when energized, leaving taps unlocked, leaving terminals unprotected, overloading transformers, allowing low oil levels, using inferior oil, mixing oils without standards, and leaving open CT terminals.

5.8 DO'S AND DON'TS FOR POWER TRANSFORMERS.

DO'S
1. Connect gas cylinder with automatic regulator if transformer is to be stored for long, in order
to maintain positive pressure of 2.5 psi approx.
2. Fill the oil in transformer at the earliest opportunity at site and follow storage instructions.
3. Equalize the diverter compartment of OLTC by connecting equalizing pipe between flange
joints provided on tap changer head during evacuation.
4. All loose objects (tools, pencils, coins etc) to be removed from personnel pockets before
starting the work in manholes.
5. Check and thoroughly investigate the transformer whenever any alarm or protection operated.
6. Examine the bushings for dirt deposit and coats, and clean them periodically.
7. Check the oil in transformer and OLTC for BDV, PPM, resistivity, tan delta and acidity
as per IS/IEC and take suitable action for restoring the quality.
8. Check the oil level in oil cup and ensure air passage is free in breather. If oil is less, make
up the oil.
9. Check the protection circuit periodically.
10.Remove the air through vent plugs of all high points and diverter switch before you
energize the transformer.
11.Remove equalizing between tank and OLTC, after filling the oil in tank.

DONT'S
1. Do not energize without thorough investigation of transformer, whenever any alarm of
protection has operated.
2. Do not re-energize the transformer without conducting all pre-commissioning checks.
The results must be comparable with results at works.
3. Do not handle the OFF CIRCUIT tap switch when transformer is energized.
4. Do not reenergize the transformer, unless the OFF CIRCUIT tap switch handle is in locked
position.
5. Do not leave the tertiary terminals unprotected outside the tank; connect them to tertiary
lightening arrestor's protection scheme when connected to load.
6. Do not parallel the transformer which does not fulfill the condition of parallel operation.
7. Do not overload the transformer other than the specified limits as per IS: 6600.
8. Do not allow conservator oil level to fall below ¼ level.
9. Do not allow oil level to fall in bushings.
10.Do not allow water to cooler unless oil pump is switched ON, in case of water cooled jobs.
11.Do not allow inferior oil to continue in transformer. The oil should be immediately
processed and to be used only when BDV/ PPM are as per requirement.
12.Do not mix oil unless it confirms fully relevant standards.
13.Do not continue with pink silica gel, this should be immediately changed or regenerated.
14.Do not leave the secondary terminal open of an unloaded CT.
