PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

1. APPLICATION
MODEL : T - 6 - LSM
The Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) is
designed as a safety device to be
used on Power Transformer and
similar oil filled electrical equipments.
When pressure in tank rises beyond
predetermined safe limit, the PRV
operates & performs following
functions.

1.1 Reduces the pressure in the tank by

instantaneously opening the port of
about 150 mm Dia. in case of all
models.

1.2 In case of Model T-6- LSM, operates a

switch which can be used to initiate
precautionary electrical system.

2 CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING

For mounting PRV, six holes of 14 dia on 235 PCD are provided on the base. For the operation, a
port of about 150 mm is provided. The port is sealed by a spring loaded stainless steel
diaphragm. The diaphragm rests on rubber ring, thereby keeping the port sealed during normal
pressure in the tank. As soon as the pressure in the tank rises above predetermined safe limit, the
diaphragm gets lifted from its seat thereby opening the port. The diaphragm seals the port again
after the pressure in the tank reduces to safe limit. A switch is provided for initiating electrical
safety system. The lifting of diaphragm from its seat is linked to a switch. Therefore the first lift of
diaphragm operates the switch. To avoid repeated on - off, manual resetting type switch is used.
So even if the diaphragm operates repeatedly, the switch remains operated until it is reset
manually.
3. TESTS

Each PRV is tested for following Routine Tests

3.1 Operating Pressure test at specified value with compressed air.
3.2 Leakage test, at static head of 70% value of specified operating pressure, with transformer oil
at room temperature for 24 hours.
3.3 Switch operation test as per Wiring Diagram by operating PRV with compressed air.
3.4 Breakdown test at 2 KV for one minute between live terminals and body.
3.5 Any other Test as specified by customer.

A Test Certificate is issued with each batch of PRV. All above tests are included in the
Test Certificate.

4. INSTALLATION

For installation, user has to provide a Mounting Pad as per Fig.5 by welding it on top cover of
the tank. The orientation and position of the mounting pad should be located in such a way that
after installation of PRV, wiring can be done properly. At the same time the indicating lever of
PRV can be seen easily as it needs to be reset manually after the operation of PRV. Wiring
may be done as per Fig.4 by removing rain guard. After wiring rain guard may be reinstated.
Hardware for installation of PRV is to be provided by the user. While installing bolts should
be tightened evenly. Uneven tightening may lead to cracking of Aluminium Base thus making it
totally unserviceable.

5. FAULTS AND REMEDIES

The PRV has rugged construction and it is not likely to get damaged easily. However the
switch mechanism is delicate. Therefore it can get damaged. The switch mechanism can be
repaired or replaced at site. For breakage or damage to parts like diaphragm or base, the
PRV will have to be returned to us as these faults/damages can not be repaired at site. For
leakage of oil through diaphragm also the PRV will have to be returned to us as this
fault/damage can not be repaired at site.Concerned Sr. Number of PRV must be informed
when any observation is to be communicated to us.

6. HOW TO ORDER

To make an offer, we need to know Model No. and Operating Pressure (any one value).

7. GENERAL NOTES

7.1 The Operating Pressure of PRV is not adjustable at site. Hence care should be taken at the
time of specifying Operating Pressure.
7.2 The value of Operating Pressure should be worked out carefully considering strength of tank
and existing static head of oil on PRV.
7.3 Storing of PRV should be done carefully. Passage of particles or small pieces through tank
side of PRV will get trapped below the spring loaded diaphragm. This will cause continuous
leakage of oil even at normal pressure in tank.
