NO. 01 ISSUE NO. 01 DATE: 20.12.2016 * Clean all bushings as needed, and inspect the porcelain for cracks © Check the pressure relief device (if applicable) * Check temperature gauges, liquid level gauges, pressure gauges, and other indicators. Record quarterly. * Check temperature gauge drag pointers to see if there is evidence of excessive loading at some time in the past. * Perform megger check or power factor check of insulation for comparison with previous observations. * Clean fan blade and check fan operation by turning control switch to"Manual" © Check paint on tank and accessories; repaint as needed © Make certain that no tools or other objects have been left in or on the transformer. * Close all openings after completion of inspection. Purge with clean,dry nitrogen and repressurize to 3PSI. © Determine that the oil level in the transformer tank and all liquid filled compartments, such as junction boxes or switches, is satisfactory.Test the dielectric strength of the liquid. il from the tank bottom that tests-24 kV orless should be filtered. Refer to IEEE C57.103-2002 for acceptable levels.Check frequently and as needed. aintenance schedule - oD) First Three Years Maintenance Schedule: The following operations are recommended to be performed on an oil filled transformer at the intervals specified, per IEEE Std C37.93.This schedule applies tothe first three years of transformer operation.

Check the diaphragm of the relief vent, if cracked or broken, replace it. 3 Attend the leakages on the bushing immediately. 4 Examine the bushing for dirt deposits and coats, and clean them periodically. 5 Check the oil level in oil cup and ensure air passes are free in the breather if oil is less, make up the oil. 6 Check the oil for acidity and sludge 7 If inspection covers are opened or gasket joint is tightened, then tighten the bolts evenly to avoid the uneven pressure. 8 Check and clean the relay and alarm contacts. Check also their operation, and accuracy and if required change the setting. 9 Check the protection circuit periodically. 10 Check the pointers of all gauges for their free movement. 11 Clean the oil conservator thoroughly before erecting. 12 Check the Buchholz relay and adjust the floats, switches, etc. 13 Inspect the painting and if necessary retouching should be done. Page 40 OF 45 Ref.NO.SEIL/O&M/TRFR/REV. NO. 01 ISSUE NO. 01 DATE: 20.12.2016 14 Check the OTI and WTI pockets and replenish the oil, if required. 15 Remove the air vent plug of the diverter switch’ before you energize the transformer. 16 Check the oil level in the diverter switch and if found less, top up with fresh oil conforming to 1S: 335 /1EC60296 17 Check the gear box oil level, if less, top up with specified oil. 18 Examine and replace the burnt or worm out contacts. 19 Check all bearings and operation mechanism and lubricate them as per schedule. 20 Connect gas cylinder with automatic regulator if transformer is to be stored for long in order to maintain positive pressure. 21 Fill the oil in the transformer at the earliest opportunity at site and follow storage instructions. 11. DON'TS FOR DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER 1 Do not energize without thorough investigation of the transformer. Whenever any alarm or protection has operated. 2Do not re-energize the transformer. Unless the buchholz gas is analysed. 3 Do not, re-energize the transformer without conducting all pre- commissioning checks. The results must be comparable with results at works. 4 Do not handle the off- circuit tar switch when the transformer is energized. 5 Do not energise the transformer, unless the off-circuit tap switch handle is in locked position. 6 Do not leave off-circuit tap switch handle unlocked. 7 Do not overload the transformer. Page 41 OF 45 Ref.NO.SEIL/O&M/TRFR/REV. NO. O1 ISSUE NO. 01 DATE: 20.12.2016 8 Do not leave tertiary terminals unprotected outside the tank, connect them to tertiary lightning afrestors protection scheme when connected to load. 9 Do not allow WTI OTI temperature to exceed 75°C during dry out of transformer and filter machine temperature beyond 85°C. 10 Do not parallel. transformers which do not fulfill the conditions. 11. Do not use low capacity lifting jacks on transformer for jacking. 12 Do not move the transformer with bushings mounted. 13 Do not overload the transformer olll\'r than the specified limit: AS per IS. $600. 14 Do not change the setings of WTI find OTT alarm and trip frequently. The setting should be done as per the site condition. 15 Do not leave red pointer behind the black pointer in OTI and WTI. 16 Do not meddle with the protection circuits. 17 Do not leave any connection loose. 18 Do not allow conservator oil level to fall below 1/4 level. 19 Do not allow oil level to fall in the bushings. They must immediately be topped up. 20 Do not eave marshalling box doors open. They must be locked. 21 Do not switch offthe heater in marshalling box except in summer. 22 Do not allow dirt and deposits on bushings, they should be periodically cleaned. 23 Do notallow unauthorized entry near the transformer. 24 Do not leave ladder unlocked, when the transformer is ‘ON’ in service, in case it is provided. 25 Do not change the sequence of valve opening for taking standby pump and motor into circuit. 26) Do not switch on water pump unless oil pump is switched on. 27 Do not allow water pressure more than oil pressure in differential pressure gauge. 28 Do not mix the oil, unless it conforms fully to IS: 335. [IEC 60296 29 Do not allow inferior oil to continue in transformer. The oil should be taney processed and to be used only when BDV conforms to IS: 335. 30 Do not continue with pink silica gel, it should immediately be changed or regenerated. 31.Do not leave secondary terminals of an unloaded CT open. Page 42 OF 45, Ref. NO.SEIL/O&M/TRFR/REV. NO. 01 ISSUE NO. 01 DATE: 20.12.2016 32 Do not commission the transformer in case IR values are not satisfactory. 33 Do not continue to run the transformer with relief vent diaphragm broken or cracked. 34 Do not store transformer for long after reaching site. It must be erected and commissioned at the earliest. 35 Do not keep the transformer gas filled at site for a longer period.
