Function, features, operation and assembly 06 – 10/10/11

1.0 Contents of specification

The specification concerns the function, the main features and the operation of the pressure relief
valves Series VS and VST, as well as the admitted environmental and operating condition for the
different executions. Operating conditions depend generally from the compatibility of the materials,
components, surface finish, and, for the electric contacts and circuits, their degree of protection,
with the operating conditions of the transformer.

2.0 Function
The pressure relief valve opens when the pressure inside the transformer's tank increases over the
set operating value, following for example a failure or a short circuit, and by releasing oil reduces
the pressure in the tank. By means of the electric contact, if present, and the optical indication the
pressure relief valve indicates that a fault has taken place.
The pressure relief valves Series VST have been specially designed for use on transformers
where an oil spillage is absolutely to be avoided; typical installation are on trains or ships or where
environmental or safety standard are particularly exacting.
The oil-tight cover contains the oil released by the valve when opening and provides a flanged
connection on which a pipe can be attached that ducts the oil in the desired direction

3.3.0 Construction
The pressure relief valves Series VS and VST are spring operated safety valves, consisting of a
mounting flange with the central opening closed by a spring loaded obturator; the springs are com-
pressed between obturator and cover or obturator and pressure ring for the valves with oil tight
cover, which are assembled to the flange by columns.
No part of the pressure relief valve reaches inside the transformer tank. A specially designed gas-
ket assures the oil-tightness between flange and obturator when the valve is closed.
The oil-tight cover of Series VST encases the valve completely and provides the flanged connec-
tion on which a pipe can be attached.
3.4.0 Pressure setting and springs
The setting of the pressure relief valves Series VS and VST is effected by choosing a different
spring - for valve diameter 150 mm a double spring set – for every operating pressure value; there-
fore the setting of the pressure relief valve can be changed only at the factory, thus eliminating
possible misuses.
The springs are of the compression type, designed so as to have a low force gain with the stroke.
Specification N° 10VSTARRxx indicates the tolerance of the setting and the minimum operating
pressure for the different pressure settings as well as the minimum pressure at which the valve
closes after operation. To avoid oil leakage or undue operation of the valve, the operating pressure
must be chosen so that in normal operation the corresponding maximum operating pressure is
never reached.
3.5.0 Operation indicators
3.5.1.0 Optical indicator
The pressure relief valves Series VS and VST have as a standard feature an optical indicator
showing that the valve has operated; the optical indicator consists of a red pin showing about 30
mm over the top of the valve cover when the valve has operated because of an internal over-
pressure. The pin is spring loaded so that even after a partial opening of the valve due to limited
or short-duration overpressures the pin is nevertheless expelled completely.
For Types VSQI 050, VST-2 150 and VQT-2 150 the optical indication operates also the electric
contact, if present.
3.5.2.0 Electric contact
The operation of the pressure relief valve can be indicated also by electric contact, which can be
of the “C” type, according to specification N° 10VSSCHCRxx or of the “K” type according to
specification N° 10VSSCHKRxx.
3.6.0 Splash diverter and oil tight protection
To avoid that during the operation of the valve hot oil is shot in all directions, thus increasing the

danger to man and machine, the valves type VS 080, VS 100 e VS 150 can be fitted with a splash
diverter, which diverts the out-flowing oil in a determined direction. Valves type VSQI 050 are al-
ways supplied with a splash diverter.
Valves type VST 080, VST-2 150 and VST-2 150 have a complete oil tight cover with a flange,
where an oil drain pipe can be connected; the oil ejected by the valve can be picked up.
3.7.0 Oil-tightness and resistance to pressure
The pressure relief valves Series VS and VST:
• are oil tight to oil at 100°C up to pressure Pt, which depends on the setting pressure;
• are mechanically and electrically resistant to vacuum (10 torr);
• have a mechanical resistance to pressures up to 4 bars.
3.8.0 Resistance to dynamical stress
The pressure relief valves Series VS can operate without undue operation in following conditions:
• Sinus vibrations with frequency <= 120 Hz and amplitude <= 250 µ;
• Dynamical conditions causing following accelerations:
◊ Max 3g in all directions, sinus vibration, amplitude <= 20 mm;
◊ Shock condition with max 10 g in all directions.
3.9.0 Surface protection
Flange, obturator, cover and contact’s casing are painted internally and externally with one primer
coat of epoxy paint and externally with a finishing coat of polyurethane paint colour RAL 7031. The
primer coat on the internal surfaces in contact is compatible with transformer mineral oil up to tem-
peratures of 120°C.
The painting procedure is accepted by the Italian electricity authority ENEL.
The specification N° 00VERRxx describes in details all the features of the painting procedure.

4.0 Operation and installation

4.1.0 Operation
Should an overpressure inside the transformer tank build up due to short circuit or else, higher
than the set operation pressure of the pressure relief valve, the obturator lifts from the flange pro-
pelled by the pressure, thus opening the discharge opening. The oil can flow out thus reducing the
overpressure; at the same time the optical indication and if installed the electric contact show that
the valve has operated. When the overpressure has been discharged the valve shuts again auto-
matically to complete oil-tightness.
With the valves with oil tight cover the oil discharged remains inside the cover and can be ducted
to an appropriate container by a pipe flanged to the cover, thus reducing the danger to persons or
things as well as the pollution.
Thanks to the design of the pressure relief valves Series VS and their springs, the full opening is
reached even for small overpressures in a very short time, so as to reduce immediately the resis-
tance to the oil flow.
4.2.0 Importance of the electric contact
Real life tests have shown that failures of the transformer followed by sudden pressure increases,
such as for instance short circuits, induce the operation of the pressure relief valve in time spans
which are considerably shorter than that of other safety devices, such as the Buchholz Relay. To

exploit this rapid operation for the safety of the transformer we strongly advice to fit out the
pressure relief valve with electric contacts, which should be connected to the trip circuit of
the transformer.
4.3.0 Installation
The pressure relief valve should be installed, either in horizontal or vertical position, on the trans-
former tank, as near as possible to possible failure sources or in a central position to such sources.
The size of the pressure relief valve should be chosen considering the available space and the oil
quantity to be vented in case of failure.
For a higher safety standard and to increase the rapidity of operation it can be preferable to install
more than one pressure relief valve eventually of a smaller size.
4.4.0 Choice of nominal pressure
To avoid oil leakage or undue operation of the valve, the operating pressure should be chosen so
that in normal operation the corresponding maximum operating pressure is never reached. Fur-
thermore, to reduce oil loss after operation, the minimum pressure at which the valve closes after
operation should be always higher than the oil head insisting on the valve.

5.0 Compatibility
The installation compatibility of the pressure relief valves Series VS depend mainly from the mate-
rial used for the gaskets; therefore the executions differ because of the used gaskets.

Setting tolerance, operating pressure 07 – 11.10.11

1.0 Setting tolerance, operating pressure

The specification defines the terminology and indicates the setting pressure tolerance and all the
other pressure values relevant for test and operation of pressure relief valves Series VS.
The performance of the pressure relief valve depends from the test fluid and the layout of the
transformer tank. The pressure values listed in the table below are obtained by operating the valve
with compressed air on a test bed having a volume of 150 dm3.

2.0 Definitions
2.1.0 Nominal pressure – Pn
The nominal pressure is the setting pressure of the pressure relief valve, on which the tolerance
must be applied in order to determinate the minimum and maximum operating pressure.
2.2.0 Minimum and maximum operating pressure - Pmin, Pmax
Minimum and maximum operating pressure are the limits of the pressure range inside which the
pressure relief valve must operate.
2.3.0 Service pressure – Pe
The service pressure is the maximum pressure the pressure relief valve can withstand in continu-
ous service without showing oil leakage or oil loss.
2.4.0 Closing pressure - Pc
The closing pressure is the minimum pressure at which the valve closes after operation. This value
changes from valve type to valve type and the value in the table is the minimum of all valve types.
This value is also very much affected by the type of fluid and the layout of the installation.
2.5.0 Tightness test pressure - Pt
The tightness test pressure is the minimum pressure that must be applied to the valve at the be-
ginning of the leakage test. During the test the pressure may drop significantly provided it remains
higher than the service pressure Pe.
