    The document provides instructions for vacuum filling a transformer with oil. Key steps include: 1) ensuring all transformer parts are assembled and tested for leaks, 2) connecting vacuum and oil filling machines to valves on the transformer and maintaining a vacuum for 3 hours to check for leaks, and 3) slowly filling the transformer with oil while releasing trapped air until the oil level indicators reach the proper position. Offline oil treatment is also described.

    The document outlines the procedure for vacuum filling a transformer with oil and also describes the offline oil treatment process.

    The steps include connecting vacuum and oil filling machines, drawing vacuum, filling the transformer tank and radiators with oil until the desired oil levels are reached in the conservators, releasing trapped air, and installing breather units.

    The precautions include ensuring all assembly is complete, the silica gel in breathers is dry, the rubber bags have no leaks, and all valves are shut off.

    TRANSFORMER OIL FILLING PROCEDURE

    Vacuum and Oil Filling


    A vacuum may be taken to the designed vacuum level (see rating plate) during filling or
    prior to final purging. Make sure that the transformer is already in fully assembled condition
    before commence the vacuum process. This process is applicable for transformer which is
    transported by fully oil filled, oil filled with N2/dry air or vacuum space, and fully N2 filled.

    To commence the vacuum process of the transformer after assembling all its part, instructions
    below shall be followed carefully.
    a) Make sure that every instruction in the Cooling Radiator Installation until Inspection is
    already carefully done.
    b) Make sure that the color of Silica Gel on Dehydrating Breather is orange (dry) and not green
    (wet). If Silica Gel is in wet condition, dry it first before using it.
    c) Make sure that each Rubber Air Bag has no leakage by inflate it using N2 Injector (13) and (15).
    Keep the pressure on rubber bag 0.1 bar and wait for 24 hours to make sure there is no
    leakage. The procedures below then could be initiated.
    d) Make sure that every valve on the transformer is in shut off position.
    e) If every pipe coming out from top of conservator is interconnected using valve (like K,
    L, and M), pipe (17) is not needed. The procedure below (f-w) then could be initiated,
    otherwise pipe (17) shall be provided before proceed and then skip to step x. If there is
    a non-applicable part on the transformer which mentioned on the procedure below,
    just ignore it and continue to the next part or step.
    f) Open valve K, L, and M.
    g) Open valve D and E.
    h) Connect Oil Filling Machine (11) to valve G and H.
    i) Connect Vacuum Machine (12) to valve I, then open valve I.
    j) Start the Vacuum Machine.
    k) If vacuum value already reached 1 mbar, open all valve C located on upper side of
    radiator. Do not open valve C on lower side of the radiator! Keep vacuum value 1
    mbar for 3 hours.
    l) Make sure that the value 1 mbar is maintained during 3 hours, otherwise there is leakage on
    the transformer tank.
    m) Make sure that pipe for oil filling could stand 1 bar of pressure.
    n) Open valve G and H.
    o) Start the Oil Filling Machine to fill the oil into the transformer.
    p) Oil will fill up the radiator and conservator.
    q) Right after Oil Level Indicator on the Main Tank Conservator moves from its minimum position,
    close valve G, H, K, L, and M and then stop the Vacuum Machine and Oil Filling Machine.
    r) Open air vent on top of pipe for conservator.
    s) Blow the Rubber Air Bag using N2 Injector for each conservator, part (13) and (15). Keep the
    pressure around 0.1 bar.
    t) Start the Oil Filling Machine and open Valve G and H. Keep filling the transformer until
    oil coming out from air vent on top of conservator. Close the air vent once there is no
    air coming out of it. Keep filling the oil until the position of Oil Level Indicator shows the
    ambient temperature, the pressure of Rubber Air Bag will increase, maintain it under
    0.1 bar.
    u) Close valve G and H and Stop the Oil Filling Machine right after the desired position of
    each (Main Tank and OLTC) Oil Level Indicator is reached.
    v) Open the bottom cover for part (13) and (15) and then install the Dehydrating Breather (14)
    and (16) using the connector packed together with it.
    w) Open every air vent one by one to release trapped air on the transformer. Do not forget to
    release the air trapped on Buchholz as well, see catalogue of Buchholz for detail instruction.
    x) If pipe coming out from top of conservator is not interconnected using valve, or there is even
    only one pipe which is not interconnected using valve, pipe (17) shall be provided.
    y) Detach part I, J, K, L, and its flange so that the pipe (17) could be connected to the flange of all
    pipe.

    z) Connect pipe (17) to flange of all available pipe, fasten it with bolts and nuts provided by the
    factory.
    aa) Connect pipe (17) to vacuum machine.
    bb) Do step f to q.
    cc) Detach pipe (17) from all pipe and reinstall part (13) and (15) and valve I and J. Cover the
    bottom part of (13) and (15) using cover (plug) provided. Initiate step i to w.

    dd) Please refer to manual book of OLTC.

    Offline Oil Treatment


    Off line oil treatment could be done as follow:
    1) Connect the Filling Valve to oil pump outlet and Draining valve to Oil Pump Inlet.
    2) Start the treatment process using Oil Treatment Machine. Treatment should be done in
    3 cycle. It is meant so that all oil inside tank is treated 3 times. Total time for treatment
    is:
    T = 3 x V/a
    T=Total Time (hours)
    V=Total oil Volume (liter)
    a = Machine Capacity (liter/hour)
    3) Set the Pressure inlet and pressure outlet of Treatment machine 0.15-0.25 bar, and
    temperature setting 80oC.
    4) After the treatment finished & oil cooled down to ambient temperature, Check the
    Breakdown Voltage.

    • C = Oil Draining Valve
