POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
CHAPTER - 1 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION & PARAMETERS INTRODUCTION: 1.
Ratings, Voltage Ratio, Tapping range, Impedance and other technical parameters may be selected as per CBIP Publication No. 295, Manual on Transformers, 2012.
2.
This Manual gives the recommended losses for the standardised ratings of power transformers (Annexure - 1.1). Two ranges of losses are given - High Losses (for maximum specific loadings of current density 3A/mm2 and flux density 1.7 T at rated tap) and Low Losses (for maximum specific loadings of 2.3 A/mm2 and flux density of 1.6 T at rated tap). Current Density refers to all taps and flux density refers to at rated tap and voltage. Low losses may be adopted where the capitalization rates are high (say ` 2 lakhs per no-load loss kW and ` 1 lakh per load loss kW) and high losses where low capitalization rates are applicable (say ` 1 lakh per no-load loss kW and ` 0.5 lakh per load loss kW). When fixed maximum losses are specified, transformer buyers need not capitalize the losses for bid comparison. With fixed losses and using standardised GTP, buyers can compare various bids effectively and expeditiously. They can compare quoted weights of active materials with standardised losses. Indicated stray losses and type of conductors (rectangular conductor Vs continuously transposed cable – CTC) can be compared. Hardness of conductor and epoxy coated CTC gives an indication of short circuit withstand strength of winding.
3. Where the buyer wants losses different from the above standardised losses, he may get losses from reliable vendors after indicating the loss capitalization rates or maximum specific loadings. After evaluating the market losses, fixed losses for the special duty transformers may be decided and bids may be invited for the fixed losses. 4. The GTPs are prepared in two parts. One is to be specified by buyer and other by vendor. The tick mark ‘ √ ’ is shown in the column indicate by whom the data is to be filled in. 5. Ratings are also standardised covering 132 kV and above and up to 765 kV class transformers and accordingly considered in this manual (Annexure - 1.2). 6.
List of applicable standards for transformer is enclosed for ready reference (Annexure - 1.3).

CHAPTER - 2 DESIGN AND ENGINEERING FEATURES
Part 1 - Architectural Features, General Arrangement Drawings & Accessories INTRODUCTION In a process of standardisation of transformer from procurement to commissioning, architectural features do have major role. At present, same rating/class transformers are being designed differently even for same user. Even for same specifications, manufacturer reviews design for successive tender considering prevailing market condition and thereby make changes in transformer architectural features and general arrangements. This reviewing activity not even leads to increase in design & manufacturing cycle time, cost, human efforts and inventories but also keep user away from preparing for footprint in his switch-yard. To resolve all these issues and to define standard architectural features and accessories, this Working Group had 5 rounds of meetings and discussions in the subject matter. However, standardisation refers to limit the variation in terms of layout, general arrangements, interchangeability, accessories selection guide including data sheet, drawings, schematic, mounting arrangement/interface with tank, critical check points for installation and commissioning, etc. Interchangeability has been referred here mainly to transformers of similar rating, voltage and other technical characteristics, even when they are being purchased from different suppliers under different contracts so as to arrive at common dimensions and layout, to allow physical interchangeability with minimum of adaptation and optimize spare holding inventory. It is possible for transformers purchased earlier to be replaced later by more modern designs, even with larger ratings but designed to accommodate in the same space. Utilities purchase transformers to meet requirements of this kind in order to increase availability and reduce costs by minimising the outage time in the event of a transformer having to be removed from service and replaced by spare/new transformer available. The concept may apply for separately cooler bank mounted transformer in which case the requirement of interchangeability can be even made applicable to the main transformer excluding cooler bank. This policy will reduce the complexity of the purchaser’s stock of transformers, bushings, fittings, tap changer components, etc and will minimize maintenance practice and costs.
Aesthetic (Appearance) of Transformer: Mounting of fittings to be same as far as possible, mounting & location of Cooler bank, Conservator etc. shall be at standard position. A typical plan & section drawing showing accessories like Bushings, Tap changer, conservator, OLTC Drive Mechanism, Neutral Earthing arrangement, Marshalling box, etc. are enclosed in this Manual. Tank mounted radiators are recommended, for ratings up to 100 MVA and they can be separate for higher than 100 MVA.
Tank Type: Bell type, Bolted /Welded construction, Conventional & Form Fit type
Cooler: The Fin thickness of radiator will be minimum 1.0 mm. Only 4 heights are proposed (2.0 M, 2.5 M, 3.0 M & 4.5 M) with number of elements to be 20, 24 & 26. Radiator (external) shall be hot dip galvanized or painted as per Data Sheet of Radiator given in this Manual. For internal surface galvanizing is not recommended. Corrosion resistant paints may be applied on galvanized surface for better appearance.
Rail, Roller & Roller Assembly: It is proposed to remove provision of rail as nowadays transformers are not transported by railway but rails are required for transformers to achieve center line of transformer, provision may be provided for rail. However, Transformers are recommended to put directly on plinth without rollers & roller assembly will be standardised. Only one set of roller is recommended for each substation. Since Roller is casted, hence only Roller assembly is needed to be galvanized.
Valve Schedule: Valve specification, type & application shall be standardised. This will be reviewed with experts and finalized.
Conservator: Main conservator should be with Aircell. OLTC conservator shall be separate to avoid intermixing of oil. Maintenance free type dehydrating silica gel breather may be provided in remote operation substation.

POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
Internal Earthing of Metal Parts: Earthing point shall be robust and made accessible for the inspection to the extent possible.
Painting: Tank, Radiator & Fittings may be of different shades. Epoxy coating to be avoided for outermost layer. It should be PU only. Casting parts not necessarily painted for matching shade. Any fabricated accessory should be either galvanized or outer side PU. Powder coating may be accepted provided it should be sun light / outdoor / UV ray resistant. Being not Eco-friendly, Zinc Chromate is not to be used. Bottom plate of tank may be accepted with water based paint. Internal paint shall be oil resistive with thickness of 25 to 40 micron only.
Hardware / Bolts: Material will be MS with grade 8. To avoid bending High Tensile Steel (HTS) is also recommended. Stainless Steel should not be used in the main tank joint.
Gasket: Since one side of gasket is exposed to the transformer oil of different quality (old, new, inhibited, un-inhibited, Paraffin base oil, Naphthenic base oil & vegetable oil etc.) & other side is water, moisture, humidity, air, oxygen, pollution, saline etc., hence gasket to be reliable & suitable for these applications. Chord (Nitrile Chord) for all flange joints are recommended. Top cover of tap changer to be suitable for O-Ring or chord with interchangeable with older one.
Marshalling Box / Common Marshalling Box: The enclosure (shell) shall be made of cold rolled sheet and galvanized / painted. Stainless steel and Aluminum may also be considered for Marshalling Box.
OTI & WTI: Switches shall be Mercury-free.
Breather: Cobalt is a banned material, hence not recommended to use. Size of silica gel is to be standardised, either it can be one of 100% or two of 100% in parallel. Valve over breather is not recommended.
Pressure Release Device (PRD): PRD shall be mounted on top cover. One PRD is recommended per every 40 KL oil quantity. The oil discharge chamber and terminal box of the PRD shall be water tight with Protection class IP 56 or better as per IEC 60529.
Ladder: Ladder (Fixed type) with safety locking device to be provided. Provision for fixing safety barriers shall be provided on top tank cover. Ladder for conservator may be provided considering safety for working at height.

2.
765 kV & 400 kV, 1-Phase Auto Transformer (having four rails) Note: 3-Phase ratings for above also to be considered depending on size and transportability. 3. 400 kV, 3-Phase Auto Transformer (having four rails) 4. 400 kV & 220 kV, 3-Phase Generator Transformer (having two rails) 5. 220 kV & 132 kV, Power Transformer (having two rails)
Location of OLTC: The number and location will be as per OLTC type & its specification.
Interchangeability & Common Architecture: The OGA is prepared in the form of block diagram & all important fittings positions are shown (Annexure 2.1). Marshaling Box, Cooler control cabinet and any other cabinet required for any monitoring devices will be tank mounted. Grounding inter phase is considered to minimize.
Jacking: 4 nos. of jacks shall be provided.
Cooler bank foundation: Modular block foundation is to house any make radiator in the standard foundation.
Maximum Height of Conservator to be standardised to make the firewall uniform.
The tertiary and neutral bushing shall be provided on top of the tank cover. The provision on side wall of the tank is not recommended in view to avoid lowering of oil level in case of bushing replacement which is time consuming.
Due to winding capacitances, the tertiary winding faces transferred surge voltages during impulse application on HV/IV winding. Therefore, the bushings of 52 kV rating are provided for 33 kV tertiary winding.

Part 2 - Standard On-Load-Tap Changers for Power Transformers INTRODUCTION On Load Tap changers (OLTC) are the most important equipment used in the power transformers for changing the tap of a winding (to vary effective transformation ratio of the transformer) whilst, the transformer is energized or is on load. Performance requirements of these OLTCs for use in transformers and their routine and type tests are described in IEC 60214-1. Selection criteria of the OLTC, their various types, fittings and accessories etc. are covered in the IEC 60214-2 “Application Guide”. CBIP Manual on transformers (Publication 317) in ‘Section GG’ gives guidelines for voltage control of Power Transformers employing OLTC. As a general practice, end user of the transformer gives the requirement of voltage regulation (on HV or LV side), range of percent voltage variation (from maximum voltage to minimum voltage, expressed as % of rated voltage), number of steps, % impedance of transformer at maximum voltage and minimum voltage tap positions in case of parallel operation with existing transformer and other control schematic requirements. Transformer manufacturer, meeting the above requirement, decides the location of tapping winding (physical as well as electrical), based on his design philosophy and experience and estimates the current and voltages seen by the tapping winding (across range, between steps, to earth and between phases). Based on this data, OLTC supplier provides a suitable tap changer from his available range. This IEEMA standard on OLTC purports to define the specification requirements and selection criteria of OLTC and recommends the standard parameters of OLTC to be used in transformers of prevalent standard ratings in the country standardised by CBIP.

1.2.2.11 Paint Type and shade 1.3. On Load Tap Changer Ratings and Selection Criteria 1.3.1 Type of construction of On Load Tap Changers 1.3.1.1 Externally mounted - out of tank, oil environment On Load Tap changers §§
These OLTCs are available up to 66 kV, 300 Amps, star / delta connected winding, and for 132 kV neutral end applications. Depending on overall economy of the transformer design, this type of OLTC is used.
1.3.1.2 Internally mounted - in tank Oil environment Tap Changers §§
These OLTCs are available for all the transformer ratings up to 220 kV line end application, up to 700 Amps neutral end and upto 2100 Amps line end applications. These tap-changers are suitable for high voltage application up to 765 kV Class of transformers.
1.3.2 Operating Principle
The OLTCs covered in this standard are of high speed transition resistor type. On-load tap-changer shall be according to selector switch principle or shall consist of a tap selector and a diverter switch with spring operated mechanism. The diverter /selector switch which arcs during tap change operation shall be so designed to ensure that its operation once commenced shall be completed independently of the control relays or switches, failure of auxiliary supplies etc. The current diverting contacts shall be housed in a separate oil chamber not communicating with the oil in main tank of the transformer.
1.3.3 Rated Through-Current of OLTCs
Rated through current of the OLTC should be more than or equal to the highest value of tap current at the assigned rated power of the transformer. This ensures meeting the overload requirements of transformers as per IEC 60076-7.
1.3.4 Rated Step Voltage of OLTCs
The rated step voltage of the tap-changer is more than or equal to the highest step voltage of the tapped winding.
1.3.5 Breaking Capacity of OLTCs
The breaking capacity requirements are met if the highest tap current and the highest step voltage of the transformer are within the declared values of rated through-current and relevant rated step voltage.
1.3.6 Insulation level of OLTCs
The rated insulation level of the OLTC is checked for Power frequency and Lightning Impulse voltages and switching impulse voltages (if specified) appearing during tests on the transformer. These insulation levels are checked at following points:

POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
§§ §§ §§ §§ §§ §§
Tap-Changer to earth Between phases Across Range (Between first and last contact of tap selector or selector switch) Between change-over selector contacts. Between two adjacent contacts Between Open contacts of diverter contact
1.3.7 Number of tap positions
The Tap-changers are available up to 21 positions (20 steps) in linear and up to 35 positions (34 steps) in coarse-fine/ reversing arrangement of the tapping winding.
1.3.8 Winding connection and position of taps in the winding §§
OLTC in star connected winding:
For transformers having star connected tapping winding, the tappings are provided at the neutral end of the high voltage winding.
§§
OLTC in delta connected windings:
In delta connected windings, 3 pole middle of the winding arrangements is used up to 110 kV Class of transformers. 33 kV windings are mostly used in delta configuration by all utilities. 66 kV windings are also used in delta by some utilities like Gujarat and Karnataka. In some states like Tamil Nadu and Karnataka 110 kV delta systems are also in vogue. Tap-changers are available up to 66 kV class delta arrangement as external out-of-tank construction and up to 110 kV class in in-tank construction.
§§
Position of OLTC in auto transformer
§§
Scheme, as shown in (a) in above figure, is used for autotransformer with a ratio 2:1 and for moderate regulating range of say 15%. The advantage of this scheme is that the tap winding is at the neutral end and be designed for graded insulation and a three phase neutral end tap changer can be used. This arrangement is ideally suitable for 765 / 400 kV auto transformers. In this case, VFVV (variable flux and variable voltage) type regulation is foreseen with change in tertiary voltage which is accepted since tertiary is a stabilizing winding in most cases.
POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
§§
For auto transformers on systems where the medium voltage is regulated, schemes as shown in (b) & (d) are used. For tapping range of approximately 20% and with linear tapings scheme (b) is generally used. Higher regulating range may be achieved with scheme (d).
§§
For auto transformers where regulation is required in HV voltage, scheme (c) is used. It has the advantage that the through current of the OLTC is lower and allows the use of an OLTC with a lower current rating. It may be noted that in case of arrangement (d) tapings carry IV line current and in case of (b) tapings carry series or common current and in case of (c) tapings carry series current.
1.3.9 Change-over Selector recovery voltage
During change-over operation of reversing switch or coarse tap selector, the tap winding is disconnected temporarily from the main winding. The tap winding receives a potential determined by the winding capacitances. The difference in voltage will therefore, appear during contact operation of the changeover selector as a recovery voltage. The tap-changer manufacturer declares the safe limit for the allowed recovery voltage across change-over contacts. It is ensured that the recovery voltage appearing during change-over operation is within the declared allowed recovery voltage by the tap-changer supplier. In case the recovery voltage exceeds the allowed voltage, the same is specified by the transformer designer. The tap-changer manufacturer then provides additional devices like tie-in resistors or two way change-over selectors to limit the recovery voltage to a safe level.
1.4 Motor Drive Mechanism
The motor drive unit has following features as specified in IEC 60214. 1.4.1 Operation
OLTC gear shall be motor operated for local as well as remote electrical operation. An external handle shall be provided for local manual operation. Interlock shall be provided to prevent electric drive when the manual operating gear is in use.
1.4.2 Housing
Drive mechanism cubicle is mounted as integral part on tap-changer tank in case of external out-of-tank construction or suitable for mounting on transformer tank in case of an In-Tank construction. The motor drive cubicle is in accessible position. It is adequately ventilated and provided with anti-condensation heaters. All contactors, relay coils and other parts are protected against corrosion, deterioration due to condensation, fungi etc. The motor drive cubicle shall meet protection requirement of IP 55 as per IEC 60529.
1.4.3 Step-by-Step Control
This control feature ensures operation of OLTC by one voltage step only even in the case of continuous or repeat signals.
1.4.4 Tap Position Indication
The position of OLTC is indicated locally on motor drive unit preferably by a mechanical device, however, if any electrical or electronic device is used, it is ensured that the tap position is indicated correctly even in the event of a power failure. The tap position is visible clearly even when the motor drive door is closed.
1.4.5 Limiting Devices
There are both electrical and mechanical limiting devices to prevent operations beyond end positions.
1.4.6 Operation Counter
A minimum five-digit non-resettable counter is provided to record the number of operations completed by the tap-changer. In case of electrical / electronic counter it shall be ensured that the counter, is capable of recording local manual operations also.

1.5 Test Requirements 1.5.1 Type tests
The OLTCs and motor drive units are fully type tested in accordance with cl. 5.2 and 6.2 of IEC 60214-1. These tests are as below: 1.5.1.1 Temperature rise of contacts
This test is conducted at 1.2 times the maximum rated through current of OLTC.
1.5.1.2 Switching tests
This includes 50000 test operations at maximum rated through current as service duty and 40 operations at double the maximum rated through current as breaking capacity tests.
1.5.1.3 Short circuit current test
This test is conducted at 20 times the maximum rated through current up to 100 amps and 10 times the maximum rated through current of 400 amps and more. The test current should be interpolated between these two ratings using the slope as per IEC 60214-1. The test duration should be 2 seconds.
1.5.1.4 Transition Resistor test
This test is conducted at 1.5 times the maximum rated through current of OLTC for continuous operation of half cycle (equal to number of tap positions). This ensures suitability of transition resistor design for continuous operations of OLTC under over loading condition of transformers.

Part 3 - Standard Bushings for Power Transformers INTRODUCTION Standard Specifications of bushings used in Transformers up to 1200 kV class are given in Section II of CBIP Manual on Transformers (Publication No. 317). The Section also purports to standardise dimensions of condensers bushings from 52 kV to 1200 kV with a view to enable interchangeability with different makes of bushings. These recommendations have also been adopted in IS: 12676. The dimensional parameters of the bushings up to and including 36 kV voltage class (solid porcelain bushings) have already been standardised in IS: 3347. Beside standard dimensions, CBIP Manual also recommends standard values of BILs & test levels, creepage distances, current ratings, BCT, top and bottom terminations etc. This IEEMA Standard on bushings addresses selection criteria for bushings for transformers and suggests standard bushings to be used for popular rating transformers standardised by CBIP working group. These guidelines are prepared to enable user / manufacturer of the transformer to specify / use standard bushings for the transformers. If a non-standard bushing is specified / used, the same shall be subject to mutual agreement. SCOPE This standard covers Outdoor type Standard Bushings comprising outdoor Oil Impregnated Paper (OIP) bushings with values of highest system voltage for equipment (Um) from 52 kV up to 1200 kV voltage class and solid porcelain and oil communicating type bushings for voltage class up to 36 kV for use in oil filled Power Transformers popularly used in the country. 1. General Requirements and Selection Criteria of Standard Bushings §§
The condenser bushings shall conform to IEC 60137 / IS: 2099 / IS: 12676 and porcelain bushings shall conform to IS: 3347.
§§
Unless otherwise specified, the glaze of porcelain shall be brown in colour.
§§
All exposed ferrous metal parts shall be hot dip galvanized, wherever possible.
§§
No arcing horns shall be provided on bushings unless otherwise specified.
§§
Any stress shield shall be considered as an integral part of the bushing assembly for external clearances and field plotting.
§§
Preferred lead arrangements for condenser bushings upto 800 Amps shall be draw lead type, upto 1250 Amps, shall be draw rod and 2000 Amps and above, in all cases shall be stem type. However, 52 kV and 72.5 kV condenser bushings shall be solid stem type for all current ratings as standardised by CBIP .
§§
For 100 kV and 110 kV class transformers also, 145 kV class bushing is recommended for the purpose of variety reduction.
§§
Make of the condenser bushings shall be approved by customer. However, dimensionally they shall conform to CBIP Manual section II. Porcelain bushings are generally assembled by Transformer Manufacturers (porcelain and copper parts are purchased separately and assembled, porcelain conforming to IS:3347).
§§
The standard current ratings have been adopted. Minimum current rating of bushing is greater than or equal to the maximum winding current × 1.2 or as mutually agreed.
§§
The neutral bushing not intended to carry load between phase and neutral is dimensioned for earth fault current (except single phase transformer) unless otherwise specified by the customer.
§§
The lead joint in case of draw-lead or draw-rod type condenser bushings shall be as per fig 2 (a) & (b) of CBIP Manual (section II). The bottom portion of the joint shall be in flush with the bottom of the flange of the bushing. The top portion of the lead shall be transported with the bushings. The winding end of the lead joint shall be suitably anchored while transporting the transformer.

Part 4 - Power Transformer Fittings and Accessories INTRODUCTION All external components & fittings provided on the transformer tank form an integral part of the transformer and are essential for its satisfactory performance in service. Some essential fittings, which are mandatorily provided on a wide range of transformers, are listed in IS 2026 Part I. However, depending on the rating, some additional fittings and accessories are also provided on large rating transformers as per the specified requirement. This section covers various fittings & accessories that are generally provided on the 132 kV & above class of Power Transformers. As components with varying features are available commercially, in the absence of any authoritative guidelines, the users are often unable to clearly specify the items that would address their long term requirements. This section briefly covers some vital fittings and accessories as listed below, describing broadly the purpose of each fitting, its working principle, the data sheet, the selection criteria, the care to be taken during installation & commissioning, etc. While presently no single Standard comprehensively covers all the fittings and accessories, the British Standard BSEN 50216, which is divided in several parts, covers some of the vital components. Therefore, efforts have been made to broadly align details of the items covered herein with these standards and some other available references. However, for the users a list of some references is appended under ‘Bibliography’ for further details. Doc. No.

Temperature Indicators 1.1 Oil Temperature Indicator (OTI) 1.1.1 Description
This is used to measure the temperature of top oil in transformer.
1.1.2 Principle of Operation
The top oil temperature of oil immersed power transformer is sensed by mMeasuring system based on volumetric expansion of liquid proportional to rise in temperature. A sensing bulb, measuring bellow and a small bore capillary connecting the two form the measuring system which is filled with liquid. When the sensing bulb is exposed to rise in temperature, the liquid inside expands proportionately causing the bellows to expand and drive the linkages for indication and separately, linkages & disc for switch operation. This system is self contained and does not depend on any outside power source for its operation.
Complete ambient temperature compensation on sensing bulb & line / capillary is provided with a second bellow / compensating bellow and a capillary that terminates at head of the sensing bulb. The liquid filled inside this responds to ambient temperature changes. The measuring and compensating bellows are linked in such a way that they cancel out. Thus, the net measuring bellow output is dependent only on the sensing bulb temperature and not on ambient temperature.

1.2 Winding Temperature Indicator (WTI) 1.2.1 Description
This is used to measure the hotspot temperature of the winding.
1.2.2 Principle of Operation
The top oil temperature of Oil Immersed Power transformer is sensed by measuring system based on volumetric expansion of liquid proportional to rise in temperature. A Sensing bulb, measuring bellow and a small bore capillary connecting the two form the measuring system which is filled with liquid. When the sensing bulb is exposed to rise in temperature, the liquid inside expands proportionately causing the bellows to expand and drive the linkages for indication and separately, linkages & disc for switch operation. This system is self contained and does not depend on any outside power source for its operation.
Complete ambient temperature compensation on sensing bulb & line/capillary is provided with a second bellow/compensating bellow and a capillary that terminates at head of the sensing bulb. The liquid filled inside this responds to ambient temperature changes. The measuring and compensating bellows are linked in such a way that they cancel out. Thus, the net measuring bellow output is dependent only on the sensing bulb temperature and not on ambient temperature.
The winding temperature is simulated by passing CT secondary current (from the transformer line) to an electrical heater coil fitted around the measuring bellows. This simulates the winding to top oil temperature differential which is added to the top oil temperature, being measured by the instrument bulb. The temperature in the hottest part of the winding or hotspot temperature is displayed directly by the instrument. Thus, the instrument functions as a winding temperature indicator. The time constant of the temperature rise will be 63.7% of final temperature rise within 7-8 minutes.
Since the thermal time constant of the heater coil is nearly the same as the transformer winding, the instrument simulates closely the actual temperature of the winding in relation to time.
The primary current of CT feeding the thermal image of WTI shall be of rated transformer current corresponding to lowest tap and secondary nominal output of 2A. The heating system of WTI shall be designed for a winding gradient of 35°C at CT current input of 2A. It shall be designed to operate continuously at 150% of the rated current and shall not suffer injurious overheating with 200% of rated current for a period of 15 minutes. Based on the heat run test data, the parallel shunt resistor to heater coil shall be adjusted by transformer manufacturer such that the current through heater coil will correspond to the winding hotspot gradient as per the heat run test result.

This scope covers the standard specifications of the PT100 Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) Oil Temperature indicator (OTI) and Winding Temperature indicator (WTI) for use with liquid immersed power transformers and reactors for indoor or outdoor installation.
1.4.2 Oil Temperature Indicator
The system measures the top oil temperature of oil immersed transformer with the PT100 RTD sensor and transmits the measured values to a remote point by dc current mode signal.
1.4.3 Principle of Operation
The PT100 sensor is mounted in an oil filled pocket located in the hottest oil zone of the transformer. The PT100 resistance in the sensor changes with the change in the top oil temperature. The Transducer (Resistance to Current Converter Unit) measures the variations in the Sensor Resistance (corresponding to the top oil temperature) and produces two independent channels of 4-20 mA dc current output signals directly proportional to the PT100 sensor resistance.

POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
1.4.4 Winding Temperature Indicator
The system measures the Top Oil temperature of oil immersed transformer with the PT100 RTD sensor, simulates the Winding hot-spot temperature with a thermal imaging device & transmits the measured value to a remote point by dc current mode signal.
1.4.5 Principle of Operation
Thermal Imaging method:
The PT100 Sensor assembly is mounted in an oil-filled pocket located in the hottest oil of the transformer. A Heater Coil (H) and Shunt (RS) assembly either mounted in the PT100 sensor assembly (as shown in Fig. 2.6) or in the Transducer (as shown in Fig. 2.7) is fed with current from a CT placed in the transformer load circuit. The Heater simulates the hot-spot Temperature rise of the winding over the top oil temperature corresponding to the transformer load current. The PT100 Sensor assembly reacts to this simulated temperature rise in addition to the top oil temperature. To obtain precise thermal image, a portion of the current through the Heater is shunted through a calibrating Shunt Resistor. The thermal time constant of the Heater is nearly the same as that of the transformer winding. Hence, the Sensor assembly simulates closely the actual hot-spot temperature of winding in relation to time.
The Resistance to Current Converter Unit (Transducer) measures the variations in the Sensor Resistance corresponding to top oil plus simulated windings hot spot temperature and produces a directly proportionate two independent channels of 4-20 mA dc current output signals.

All the wiring is to be done as per the terminal marking on the instruments. Recheck the wiring before energizing the transformer specially the power supply connections. Ensure that the Loop resistance of the interconnecting cables does not exceed the specified burden of the Transducer analog output. Use independent 2.5 sq. mm cable between PT100 Sensor to Transducer and Digital Indicator. The 4-20 mA cable from Transducer to Remote indicator/SCADA should not run along with a power cable. No calibration required to be done at site. Calibration by user not to be attempted as it may damage the instrument.
Fibre Optic Sensors 2.1 Description
Fibre Optic Temperature Monitoring System comprising : §§ Fibre optic probes (Installed inside the transformer). §§ Tank wall plate. §§ External fibre optic extension cable §§ Measuring Instrument. §§ Instruction Manual.
2.2 Purpose Direct real time hotspot temperature measurement of windings, oil, and other parts of the core-coil assembly of power transformer. 2.3 Working Principle

Gas & Oil Actuated Relay (Buchholz Relay) 3.1. Description This is a gas and oil actuated relay for liquid immersed power transformers and reactors with conservator. The device is intended to detect: §§ Gas release from the unit to be protected §§ Oil surge from the tank to the conservator §§ Complete loss of oil in the conservator 3.2 Principle of Operation
Buchholz relay is completely filled with oil under normal operation of the transformer. In the event of an internal fault in the transformer, gas bubbles are produced in oil, which accumulate in the Buchholz relay. This leads to drop in oil level in the BR, thereby causing operation of the alarm switch contact.
In case the oil continues to drop due to excess gas accumulation, it triggers operation of the trip contact.

Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) 4.1 Description
The PRV is suitable for oil filled power transformer. It operates when Pressure in the tank rises above predetermined safe limit and performs the following functions. No.
Function
Description
1
Relieve Excess Pressure
The PRV instantaneously relieves the oil pressure built inside the transformer tank by lifting the diaphragm resting on the port of about 150 mm diameter and discharges the oil from tank, thus relieving pressure. To avoid oozing of oil, the diaphragm is spring loaded to close the port as soon as the pressure in the tank is relieved.
2
Visual Indication
The PRV gives visual indication of valve operation by raising a flag. Flag remains in operated condition till it is manually reset.
3
Switch Operation
As soon as the PRV is operated it operates an electrical switch (Micro/Limit switch). Switch contacts can be used to give audible alarm or isolate the transformer from circuit. Switch should remain in operated condition till it is manually reset.
4.2 Principle of Operation
A Spring Loaded Stainless Steel diaphragm is used to keep the port opening of about 150 mm diameter of PRV in closed condition. The diaphragm gets lifted from its position as soon as the oil pressure in the tank rises above predetermined operating pressure and releases the oil / vapour to relieve pressure in tank. The lifting of diaphragm operates electrical switch & flag. The Switch & Flag remain in operated condition till they are manually reset.

Magnetic Oil Level Gauge (MOG) 5.1 Description
A magnetic oil level gauge (MOG) is provided on the transformer conservator for indication of oil level in the transformer. A float is used as a device for indication of oil level inside the conservator on a calibrated dial gauge. The dial is marked as “EMPTY”, “¼”, “½ (or 35°C)”, “3/4” and “FULL”. Calibration of marks “EMPTY” and “FULL” (Fig. 2.17) is done after leaving 65 mm from the bottom and the top of the conservator to avoid striking of the float to the conservator oil.

POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
6.2 Principle of Operation
Magnetic Coupling
A metallic spring loaded vane is kept suspended in the pipe (Fig. 2.24). The vane deflects, when the flow of liquid strikes. The vane & return spring remain inside the liquid. A pointer is linked to vane with the help of a pair of permanent magnet. Thus, the pointer follows the deflection of vane. Pointer & vane mechanism are separated by a non magnetic metallic solid wall to avoid leakage of liquid in pipe. Two switches are provided which operate at 80% & 70% respectively when rate of flow starts dropping.

POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
Refer Fig. 2.32 for general arrangement of Conservator and Aircell. Valve No. 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 are fitted with direction marked next to the valve.
Remove the detachable end cover of the conservator as shown in Figure 2.32.
Fig. 2.33: Loops on the Aircell with the hooks inside the conservator
Assemble the Oil Level Indicator (MOG) as shown at location shown in Figure 2.32. Terminal box of the MOG should be vertically below the indicator dial. Carefully attach the float and float arm to MOG. Air cell, MOG, float and float arm are delicate, utmost care should be taken while assembly to avoid even slightest damage.
After the assembly of air cell and MOG are over, clean the conservator inside surface with clean cloth. Do not use cotton waste. Refit the detachable end cover.
Now the conservator is ready for installation in position and also for oil filling.
Before installing in position, check the air cell for any leakage as under.
It is to be noted that pipes, valves, pressure gauge shown in dotted line and N2 cylinder and vacuum pump are not supplied by manufacturer of these instruments. These should be made available at site, keeping in mind that oil filling of the conservator is to be done after installing the same in proper position.
POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
7.4.3 Leakage Test of Air Cell
Inflate (fill) the air cell at a max, of 2 psig through valve 6 (use N2 gas) while leaving a vent hole i.e. valve 4 open.
Adjust the pressure after 6 hours (i.e. pressure to be retained at 1 psig). Check the temperature and maintain the air cell at that temperature for 24 hours. Watch the possible loss of pressure during that period. If there is no loss of pressure during 24 hours, this means the setting of air cell inside the conservator and also the air cell is considered leak tight. This also ensures that all gaskets joints are leak tight. Assemble the conservator at proper position.
7.5 Oil filling under Vacuum
Use transformer oil for filling. This oil should be same as used for transformer filling.
Fill oil into the conservator upto Filling Level on MOG via ‘B’ relay pipe, valve 5 by pumping the oil from bottom of the transformers.
Keep air cell open to atmosphere by opening valve 6 & 7 to atmosphere. Open also valve No.2 so that pressure inside the conservator and air cell will be same. Connect valve 7 to vacuum pump. (Valves 6 & 2 open) Valves 3 & 1 closed.
Pull the vacuum up to 760 mm Hg simultaneously to air ell and conservator. When 760 mm vacuum is achieved close valve 2
Push oil through valve No.5 till the MOG shows Full oil level.
Close valve 6, 2, & 3 and connect N2 cylinder to valve 7.
Maintain conservator under vacuum and admit N2 into air cell at a max, of 1 PSIG through valve 6. Then the air cell inflate by itself and takes all the free space due to the fact that the conservator was not completely full. Fill the conservator till the moment the oil is going to rise to the top of conservator. Continue to admit nitrogen into air cell at one psig and simultaneously drain oil from valve 3.
Drain the oil up to filling level. Immediately close Valve 3 and check that all the valves and openings on conservator except valve 5 are closed.
Connect air cell to silica gel breather.
Caution When the assembly is ready to work, it is important not to open vent holes / valves on upper part. Plain oil gauges are usually provided on the opposite end of MOG on conservator. These gauges might show full irrespective of oil level in conservator. Hence refer MOG reading for checking the oil level in the conservator.

10 Automatic Voltage Regulating Relay (AVR) 10.1 Description
AVR is used for regulating the secondary voltage of power transformer with on-load tap changer. The required dead-band settings are set by setting the nominal value and L & R levels independently. The Time Delay setting on the front panel eliminates the relay operations for momentary fluctuations of the regulated voltage, thus reducing the number of operations of the tap changer.
When the regulated voltage falls below the specified Under Voltage limit, the control relays are automatically blocked i.e. there is no voltage correction, and a pair of relay contacts is made available for alarm.
10.2 Principle of Operation
The dead-band (bandwidth) can be set by setting the nominal value (NVA) to the required value and then setting the L & R limits around the NVA.
The desired time delay can be set on the front panel and the control action will take place only if the voltage continues to remain outside the dead-band after the time delay has elapsed. For voltage corrections requiring more than one tap change, time delay is initiated again before further tap change. The relay is reset automatically after the voltage is brought within the selected dead band. The time delay is effectively reduced to provide a voltage time integral response of the regulator for repeated short duration voltage fluctuations on the same side of the dead-band.
Operation of the Raise Control Relay is automatically inhibited when the voltage falls below the specified under voltage limit or it fails. One pair of normally open relay contacts are provided to effect the tap change during Raise and Lower operation and to trigger an alarm in case of Under Voltage / P.T. fail conditions.

11.2 Automatic Mulsifire System 11.2.1 Description
This system is widely used for fire fighting of outdoor transformers. Spray type fire protection essentially consists of a network of projectors and an array of heat detectors used to sense high temperature near the transformer / reactor to be protected. If the temperature exceeds the set value, the automatic mulsifire system sprays water at high pressure through a Deluge valve from the pipe network laid for this system. Fire detectors located at various strategic points are on the surface of the transformer to control fire on any burning oil spilled over.
11.2.2 Subsystems used to make a complete mulsifire system a) Main Hydrant
This is used to carry the water to various parts of the switchyard or transformer substation and forms the backbone of the system. Sturdy corrosion-free pipes and valves are used for this purpose. The materials should be able to withstand fire for a reasonable duration.
b) Fire Detector
Fire detectors can either be thermocouples or specially designed bulbs which burst when they experience a high temperature and release any valves or checking device to start the water supply.
c) Ring Mains and Nozzles
Ring mains, which surround the transformer are provided to feed the water to the nozzles at various levels. Since the water pressure is high, the ring mains should be designed to withstand this pressure. Nozzles should be located such that the water spray, in the event of a fire, envelopes the entire surface of the transformer. The whole system should be periodically checked to detect any leakages. .
d) Pumps
Pumps are provided to fill the hydrants initially and to maintain its pressure. Pumps driven by electrical motors are a standard provision; however, the standby pumps should preferably be diesel engine driven. It is recommended that the main and standby pumps in a pump house be segregated.
11.2.3 Electrical Safety
As per Powergrid specification, from safety considerations, the following electrical clearances are recommended between the mulsifier system pipe work and live parts of the transformer to be protected. §§

transformers with on-load tap changers. The required dead band settings are set by setting the nominal value, and lower and upper levels independently. The time delay setting on the front panel eliminates the relay operations for momentary fluctuations of the regulated voltage thus reducing the number of operations of the tap changer. “ When the regulated voltage falls below the specified under voltage limit, the control relays are automatically blocked, i.e., there is no voltage correction, and a pair of contacts is made available for alarm. (ii) General Description: Voltage regulating relay should be designed for maximum operational simplicity for regulating the secondary voltage of power transformer with on load tap changers. The dead band (band width) can be set by setting the nominal value adjustment (NVA) to the required value “110 V + 10 per cent”.
The desired time delay can be set on the front panel and the control action will take place only if the voltage continues to remain outside the dead band after the time delay has elapsed. For voltage corrections requiring more than one tap change, time delay is initiated again before further tap change. The relay is reset automatically after the voltage is brought within the selected dead band. For repeated short duration voltage fluctuations on the same side of the dead band, the time delay is effectively reduced to provide a voltage time integral response of the regulator. Operation of the Raise Control relay is automatically inhibited when the voltage falls below the specified undervoltage limit. One pair of normally open relay contacts are provided to effect the tap changer, Raise and Lower operation and to trigger an alarm in case of under voltage conditions.

4.11.14 Line Drop Compensator (LDC) : Description i.
The Line Drop Compensator is an optional unit designed to match with the Automatic Voltage Regulator Relay. The unit is housed in the same enclosure or separately mounted.
The voltages at the generating end and at the receiving end are not the same due to the drop across the line. The LDC is used to compensate for this line drop, and the amount of compensation required is calculated as a per cent of the nominal voltage knowing the length of the line, its resistance/unit length, its reactance/unit length and the rated current, and set on the front panel.
The line current is stepped down to 1 Amp. & fed to the LDC. The resistive and reactive drops are simulated by having 90° phase shifted voltage and their polarity selected by polarity switches. The net compensation is then fed to the stepped down PT voltage.

ii. Specifications
Resistive Compensation: 0-20 per cent of the regulating value continuously adjustable.
Reactive Compensation: 0-20 per cent of the regulating value continuously adjustable.
Input Rated Current: 1 Amp. 50 Hz.
Power Consumption: As required (CT burden will depend on power consumption).
Accuracy : 10 per cent.
Max. Overcurrent : 50 per cent of rated current (1.5 Amp.)
Polarity Selection : Both positive and negative compensation.
iii. Operating and Connection Requirements
Connection to the LDC unit are made through the rear panel terminals. The line current is stepped down to 1 Amp. 50 Hz and fed to the LDC. The net compensation is fed to the AVR circuit internal or external connections.
The required amount of percent R and per cent X compensation can be set on the front panel of the LDC. The polarity selector switches provide both positive and negative compensation. The per cent R and per cent X settings can be calculated from the following formulae:
√ 3*IL*RL
Per cent R = x 100 per cent
Per cent X = x 100 per cent
Where, IL = the primary rated current of the line.
VL = the voltage between lines of the power transformer.
XL = the line reactance in ohms/phase.
RL = the line resistance in ohms/phase.
Note : When LDC unit is not to be used, keep per cent R and per cent X settings to Zero, i.e., on minimum position.
4.11.15 Local Electrical Operation
This is possible only in the independent position. Set the switch ‘S32’ to Local position in D.M. Box. When switch ‘S32’ is kept on Local Mode, the control supply is made available to the Raise/ Lower switch in D.M. Using the Raise/Lower switch, Local Electrical Operation can be carried out.
4.11.16 Remote Electrical Operation
Remote Electrical Operation is carried out as follows :
Select one Transformer as “Master’ and others as its ‘Followers’. Then control supply will be tapped from D.M. Box to RTCC panel. Through the S/W S5 in RTCC1, which is set at ‘Master’ mode the Control supply is passed on to S/W S40 in D.M.1 which is an Odd/Even type of S/W. Its every 2nd position is linked e.g. 1, 3. 5. 7. 9. 11. 13. 15, 17 etc. This is to reduce number of interconnecting wires between RTCC panels. Suppose, Transformer 1, which is set as a “Master’, is at Tap 1, then through its odd/Even S/W in D.M.1, the Control Supply now goes to RTCC2 and from there it goes to Odd/Even S/W S40 of D.M.2. If the D.M.2 is also at Tap 1, then the control supply will be returned to RTCC2 set at “Follower’ mode and energizes Contactor K11 in RTCC2. Normally Open Contact of this K11 is wired up in RTCC1 and once it becomes closed, supply is available at Auto/Manual S/W S9, in RTCC1.
If the S/W S9 is set at Manual mode, then thro’ Push Button S1 or S2 Raise/ Lower operation is carried out. S1 will energize Contactor K4 for Raise tap and S2 will energize K5 for Lower contactor. Once the Raise or Lower Contactor in Master RTCC is picked up, it will extend the command to Follower RTCC to Raise or Lower Contactor and hence tap will be changed in both Transformers
POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
simultaneously. If the Tap change operation is not completed within prescribed time duration, then the Timer is energized in D.M. Box which indicates Tap Change incomplete indication and D.M. MCB is tripped. Contactor K6 in RTCC will act as a Blocking relay which will block the Tap Change operation in case both RTCC’ s are not at same Tap position. In that case the timer K29 is picked up and will indicate Tap change Out of step indication.
Remote Auto Operation:
Remote Auto Operation is carried out as follows:
Set Auto/Manual S/W S9 on Auto Mode. The Raise/Lower Tap position decision is taken care by Automatic Voltage Regulator. As per its instruction either K4 or K5 is energized and then it gives command to Follower RTCC accordingly.
4.12 Cooler Control Scheme
Cooler control systems follow different practices and vary depending upon customer specs, manufacturers standard practices, however, standard control schematic will allow end customer to operate cooler control with more ease and similar representation of schemes and ease of maintenance. For cooler control schematics, standardisation of schemes will lead only to way of representation and mode of control like Auto/ Manual or Local/Remote. Typical Cooler Control Circuit is attached as Fig. 3.3.
The standard methods for drawing are as follows: 4.12.1 Index

CHAPTER - 4 STANDARD MANUFACTURING QUALITY PLAN (MQP)
It is a contract document between customer and supplier to express commitment for delivery of transformer as per agreed technical specification and match the type tested design. Over a period of time as the transmission grid has grown leaps and bounds, with HVDC and 765 kV AC network, this commitment document is gaining importance, because of rise in transformer failure rate and causing anxiety to maintain uninterrupted supply for consumer and industry. Customer always wishes that transformer manufactured and delivered must perform defect free service for its “specified design life”. It is always a challenge for supplier (manufacturer) to keep consistency in material used and manufacturing process, which are the main cause for variation in quality of transformer. While customer practically cannot monitor them and not expected to do so, manufacturers are on their toes to offer cost competitive and cost effective product. The cost of material plays an important role, considering the fact that majority of parts and components like bushing, OLTC, tank body, radiators, insulation, copper, core material etc. are outsourced. The selection of material, its grades / type and design philosophy ultimately decide the loss capitalization figures of final product. On the manufacturing process front, seamless integration of parts / components through mechanical and electrical design is the prerequisite. The change in sub-venders and skilled manpower time to time at factory also require due diligence to control and maintain the consistency of manufacturing process. Therefore a “balanced view“ is needed to manufacture and deliver ideal Transformer meeting contract specification and match type tested design. It is evident from above background that there is need of mutually agreed manufacturing quality plan (MQP). Apart from primary objective to have ideal transformer as per customer wish as explained above, the major benefit of MQP would be timely delivery and any conflict shall be address upfront, so that manufacturing could take place uninterrupted in a faithful manner. The role of design review is important to provide all necessary inputs for structuring the MQP. It is proposed in this power transformer standardisation manual to have MQP covering following elements: 1.
Material quality and characteristics.
2.
Stage inspection of material.
3.
Stage inspection and manufacturing process.
4.
Routine and Acceptance tests.
5.
To capture “Signature values “.
6.
Product dimension and physical condition before dispatch.
It is equally very important that Transformer is manufactured in a dust free clean environment with humidity control. Any compromise on this aspect will have adverse effect in expected design life of Transformer, however good is the quality of material used. Standard Manufacturing Quality Plan (MQP) has been designed in a manner to share the responsibility depending upon the source of supply, testing, location and criticality of test for the performance of Transformer. Responsibility of subvendor is important for testing of raw material and components (P), but manufacturer has to play a role of verification (V) as they have to integrate them for actual design of transformer. Similarly, responsibility of manufacturer is crucial for routine tests (P) but customer has to actively witness (W) these tests to ensure that results are complying the contract requirements and design review data.

CHAPTER - 5 TRANSPORTATION, ERECTION, TESTING AND COMMISSIONING INTRODUCTION Considering main objectives of standardisation Manual, this chapter will cover important procedures, check points, flow charts, suggestive tools-tackles, testing formats, etc. which are required for transport, storage, installation & erection, testing and commissioning of power transformer for its good performance during operation.
Transportation and Unloading at site Power transformers are usually very reliable, but it requires lot of care during all stages of its life & particularly during transportation. If a transformer experiences any mechanical shocks more than suggested “g” level, damage that may occur covers §§
Displacement / distortion of windings or core
§§
Inter turn insulation damage due to movement of active part
§§
Loosening of winding clamps due to vibration
§§
Compromise safe clearances between tank & active parts
It is therefore required that transporter should take note of following transport restrictions. §§
Axial load distribution
§§
Brake force distribution between tractor & trailer as per trailer manufacturer’s guide.
§§
Maintain proper ratio between the gross mass of the trailer and tractor
§§
Adhere to designated route.
§§
Avoid travelling during foggy, heavy rain, etc restricting ambient visibility to less than 500 meters.
§§

ROAD / RAIL
* Note: Weights are approximate and may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer
Mode of transportation may be rail, road or water. Depending on size of transformer, destination, delivery time & route limitations the mode of transportation can be decided. a)
Rail Transport
Where the weight and dimension of main body exceed limits, special well wagons are employed. Detached parts are packed/crated and normally dispatched along with main body of transformer so that all the parts are received at the destination with unit. If the siding facility is not available either at loading or unloading end, mobile cranes or railway cranes can be used for loading into wagons.
b)
Road Transport
Multi axle tractor driven, low platform trailers are used for transporting transformers on roads. Transformers may be transported by road, where well developed roads exist & the route conditions permit.
2] Selection of Trailer
Multi axle tractor driven low platform trailers are used for road transport. The tractors are to have adequate hauling capacity and the trailers should have adequate loading capacity. There are two types of trailers available.
i) Low bed Mechanical Articulated Trailer
This is useful for concentrated load like Transformer. The maximum Gross load permissible in Mechanical Articulated trailer is 49 MT (Gross load = Weight of consignment + weight of trailer + weight of pulling unit, tractor)
ii) Hydraulic axle Trailer
Useful for all types of loads including transformers. The maximum Gross load permissible in Hydraulic axle trailer is 18 MT Per axle. Depending upon the weight, the number of axles can be attached one after another. Normally Hydraulic axle unit are available in the combination as a unit of 2 axle, 3 axle, 4 axle, 6 axle and 8 axle (weight of each axle is approx.: 3.5 to 4.5 MT) depending upon Manufacturer. The axle width is generally 3 Mtrs. 1 ½ side axle can also be joined if the width of the consignment is exceeding 4 Mtrs. Total width of the axle in this case will be 4.5 Mtrs.
POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
3] Capacity of Puller
Presently Pullers (figure 5.1) are available to pull loads from 1 to 240 MT.
Fig. 5.1
4] No. of Axles
No. of hydraulic axles of any transportable consignment can be determined in the following manner. One puller carried load of the consignment on two hydraulic axles.
Weight of tractor (ra) + trailer (rb)
= X (say, 10 MT)
Weight of Transformer
: (a) e.g. 70 MT
Gross weight permissible per axle
: (b) e.g. 18 MT
Weight of each axle
: (c) e.g. 4.5 MT (standard weight)
Weight of Goods that can be loaded (d)
: (b-c) = (18 MT – 4.5 MT) = 13.5
Hence, for 70 MT Transformer axles to deploy = {X+(a)}/(d) = {10+70}/13.5 = 5.92
Therefore number of axles which need to be deployed are 6.
In the up gradient of hills or roads extra puller of same rating shall be provided.
In down gradient of ghat section use power brake attached to the hydraulic modular trailer.
5] Route Survey
The route Survey Report is for safe and speedy transport of over dimensional / sophisticated consignments by deployment of well suitable equipment, driver and escorts (both) with professional & technical expertise and their rich experience is the answer of safe and speedy transport.
Based on the dimension and weight of the consignment extensive study is being carried out, first calligraphically wherein most feasible routes for the transportation to the destination site is selected and there after exhaustive field verification are carried out. After collection and compilation of massive data that was collected during the route surveys, only the most feasible route is being selected and detailed report of Survey is being prepared. Efforts to be made for best alternative solution while highlighting the problems that are anticipated for safe and speedy transportation of over dimension / sophisticated consignment
187
188
POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
a) Elements of route survey
The road system is examined in detail on the following points: i.
Normally width of the road should be more than 5 m.
ii. Bridges and culverts should have sufficient strength to take the moving load (in this regard, consultation with highway department is necessary) iii. Hindrance on route like telephone, telegraph, traction and HT/LT wires, avenue trees, sub ways etc are to be assessed. iv. Sharp bends & road worthiness (i.e. sandy stretches, waterlogged areas, crowded localities like market places, schools and public places)
6] Speed
For the normal running uniform speed of 10 to 20 kmph shall be maintained on good roads. For bad roads it is desirable to run the vehicle at much lower speeds. However, while crossing bridge it shall be 5 kmph. No breaks should be applied during bridge cross over. Movement of other vehicle should be stopped while crossing bridge. Long before the approach to the bridge, the speed should be brought down and the vehicle allowed proceeding over the bridge without creating any impact.
The brake system on the tractor-trailer has to be carefully operated whenever the vehicle is running with load.
7] Night Travel & Halt
Normally night travel is avoided except where it is restricted for heavy vehicles to travel in day time i.e. cities, towns & small villages. Transportation should be avoided during heavy rains also. In the case of night halt or stoppage of the loaded trailer for a fairly long duration the trailer should be supported either by sleepers or providing supporting jacks on all sides thus releasing the load from the tyres. Danger lights should be displayed in the front and rear of the vehicle.
8] Safe movement under O/H lines
The Supervisor should ensure that sufficient line clearance from line conductor to the top most part of transformer and trailer is available as per IE Rules and as per the rating of transmission lines. The transportation during monsoon period should be avoided as far as possible if sufficient clearances are not available. If it is found that the clearances are critical, the hydraulic axle platform can be lowered by 250 to 300 MM as per the provision made in hydraulic axle to avoid any danger of electrical faults.

All above should be equipped with helmet, safety shoes & hand gloves and Supervisor, Axle operator and Driver are with suitable communication facility.
11] Document verification for puller capacity
Registration book issued by RTO department to know the horse power of puller.
12] Movement
A pilot vehicle with all tools and tackles, jacks, sleepers, chequered plates, crowbars, etc., and sufficient trained staff should run in front of the vehicle. Red flags and danger lamps should be exhibited at prominent places to warn traffic on the route.
The branches of avenue trees that are likely to foul the equipment should be cleared while the load is moved. Electric utility power lines likely to foul should be switched off and lifted temporarily / dismantled while the load is moved.
After moving the load for a short distance, tightness of the lashing should be checked.
13] Check Points during Transportation a)
Provide suitable impact recorder which give waveform data and frequency analysis. As per IEEE guide line PC57.150, it is recommended to provide two recorders per transformer to eliminate chances of loss of data due to failure of recorder.
b)
Place both the recorders as low as possible and in diagonally opposite positions for best results.
c)
Check pressure of dry air or nitrogen as shown below on daily basis. Any loss in pressure shall be made up. For this, Transformer shall be supplied with filled gas cylinder to maintain positive pressure during transportation (figure 5.2).
d)
The purity shall be 99.9% for nitrogen gas or dry air conforming to DIN 3188.
e)
Weak bridges, if any should be strengthened with the help of highway department.
f)
Red flags and danger lamps should be exhibited on the unit.
g)
Check tightness of lashing at regular intervals during movement.

POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
14] Receipt of Transformer at Site i.
When a transformer arrives at site a careful external inspection must be made of the unit, its cooling system and all sealed components, referring to the general arrangement drawing and the shipping list.
ii.
Inspect all packing cases and loose components for damage or missing items.
iii. Check whether the transformer has arrived at site with a positive gas pressure in case of dispatch without oil. In case of dispatch of main body in oil filled condition, check oil level and leakages if any. iv. Should the transformer arrive at site without pressure (owing to gas leakage), it must be assumed that moisture has entered the tank and that the moisture will have to be driven out. In such cases, the manufacturer’s advice must be sought. v.
In case of any oil leakage or damage is discovered, the transportation company, the transport insurer and manufacturer shall be informed immediately.
vi. A record of damage must be prepared in conjunction with other participants and supplier representative. Minor damage which may appear unimportant should also be recorded. vii. Confirm that case numbers match with the packing list. Check their contents tally with the packing list if the packing case is damaged. viii. Fill in the check list for external as well as internal inspections. ix. For oil filled transformers a sample of oil should be taken from the bottom of the tank and tested for BDV and moisture content. If the values do not meet the relevant standards the matter should be taken up with the manufacturer. x.
Down load impacts recorded by impact recorder and analyze the same in consultation with supplier.
15] Unloading of Transformer
All the transformer unloading and handling work should be carried out and supervised by specialized people, following all safety rules and using supporting points indicated on drawing. The use of any other points will result in severe damages to the transformer. a)
The following should be avoided during the unloading process §§
The transformer imbalance (Maximum 10 degree)
§§
Abrupt movements
§§
Impact against the ground
§§
Side Impact
The transformer should be unloaded from trailer by using wooden sleepers and rails for dragging the transformer to its plinth. b)
c)
Considerations before unloading §§
Availability of access road between unloading point and plinth.
§§
Ensure overhead crane capacity for weight of main unit.
§§
Readiness of foundation
§§
Keep under base of main unit at least 300 – 400 mm above ground level by providing wooden slippers to facilitate jacking.
§§
Remove lashing before unloading.
Unloading from Trailer i.
Unload main unit only on wooden slippers
ii.
Jack the transformer at jacking pad only.
iii. Ensure simultaneous operation of all 4 jacks. iv. Use only haulage lugs for hauling. v.
Ensure capacity of winches and wire ropes to be used for haulage.
vi. Do not use chain pulley block in place of winches.
POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
d)
After checking of exact position of transformer, the following sequence should be followed i
Install all wheels to transformer using hydraulic jacks sized for at least 50% of the units weight.
ii
Before resting the wheels into groove, make sure all of them properly adjusted.
iii
Lower the transformer with the help of the hydraulic jacks until it remains resting on the bottom of the groove. Never allow the transformer to remain inclined.

4.3.1 SFRA Test
(a) Purpose of the test
The transformer is considered to be a complex network of RLC components. The contribution to this complex mesh of RLC circuit are from the resistance of the copper winding, inductance of the winding coils and capacitance from the insulation layers between coils, between winding, between winding and core, between core and tank, between tank and winding etc. (figure 5.5).
(b) Principle of the test
Any form of physical damage to the transformer results in the changes of the RLC network. These changes are looking for and employ frequency response to highlight these small changes in the RLC within the transformer.
Fig. 5.5:
POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
The test involves measuring the frequency response of each individual winding. The frequency is measured by injecting a sine wave signal with respect to earth at one end of winding to be tested and measuring the signal amplitude there and at other end of winding. The attenuation (in db) of the transmitted signal relative to reference signal at the input terminal is measured over a frequency range from 20 Hz to 2 MHz. SFRA is used to check the eventual change in the internal geometry of the active part of the transformer whether displacement of deformation i.e. the mechanical integrity of the transformer.
Transformers while experiencing severity of short circuit current looses its mechanical property by way of deformation of the winding or core. During pre-commissioning, this test is required to ascertain that Transformer active part has not suffered any severe impact/ jerk during transportation.

4.3.2 Capacitance and Tan Delta Measurement Test a)
Purpose of the test
Dissipation factor / loss factor/ Tan delta is defined as the ratio of resistive components to that of capacitive current flowing in an insulating material. Dissipation factor (tan delta) and capacitance measurement of bushing/winding provides an indication of the quality and soundness of the insulation in the bushing/winding.
Changes in the normal capacitance of an insulator indicate abnormal conditions such as the presence of moisture layer, short -circuits or open circuits in the capacitance network.
b)
Principle of the test
The capacitance and dissipation/loss factor (Tan δ / Cos φ) measurement are made to determine the insulating condition of the transformer’s both winding to earth and between the windings, and to form a reference for future measurements during operating the transformer.
There is a small amount of insulating loss in all insulators used in transformer applications at normal operating voltage and frequency. In appropriate insulators, this loss is very small. This loss changes in direct proportion with the “square “of the applied voltage. The insulator and equivalent diagrams are given in figure 5.15.
a)
b)
c)
Fig. 5.15:
As seen in figure, the angle delta ’between the total current “Ir” and capacitive current “IC” allows to make evaluation about the loss properties of the insulator.
The loss angle delta, depends heavily on the thick ness of the insulating material and surface condition, structural property of the insulator, type of the material, (humidity, foreign materials/ particles, air gaps, etc. which cause ionization the insulating material).
209
210
POWER TRANSFORMER - STANDARDISATION MANUAL
The conditions which increase the power losses of the insulator also decrease the insulation strength. For this reason, loss angle measurement is a very valuable criterion for evaluating the insulation material at a defined operating frequency. Periodical measurements made during operating are also important to show the general condition of the insulating material. In this way, it is possible to gather information about aging of the solid insulating materials and degradation of the oil.
The active loss of the measurement circuit can be calculated according to below equation:
P= U. I. Cos delta = U 2. C. ω. tan delta
(It is accepted that in very small angles, Cos delta will be equal to tan delta)
Capacitance, tan delta, active loss and Cos delta can be measured by bridge methods at defined voltages or by a “power factor” (Cos delta) measuring instrument.
The measurement is made between windings and between the windings and the tank. During the test, the temperature of the transformer should also be recorded and corrected in accordance with the reference temperature.
The loss factor depends heavily on temperature. For this reason, in order to make comparisons later, it has to be converted to reference temperature (for example 20 deg reference temperature) by a coefficient.
Correction equation:
F20 = Ft / K
F20: loss factor at 20 oC temperature
Ft: loss factor value at t measuring temperature

4.3.8 Measurement of Winding Resistance a)
Purpose of the Test
To check for any abnormalities like loose connections, broken strands and high contact resistance in tap changers due to vibrations, fault occurred due to poor design, assembly, handling, poor environment, over loading or poor maintenance and gross difference between the windings and for openness in the connections.
b)
Principle of the Test
Kelvin bridge technique was adopted in the way of modern digital micro processor method for measuring the winding resistance. Voltage drop is proportional to the winding resistance by injecting the DC current. Voltage drop across the winding terminal in the phase is in the following manner
U= R*I + (d0/dt); 0-flux
L= 0/t
When DC current is applied, (d0/dt) =0
So, U=R*I

10. If possible, always inject test current to HV and LV simultaneously (two channel measurement). 11. This will magnetize the core more efficiently and shorten the time to get stable readings. 12. Measure the readings in both positive and negative polarities (tap position in ascending and descending position) 13. During tap changing operation, continuity checks between HV to neutral to be carried out by analog multi meter while changing tap. 14. For delta connected windings, such as tertiary winding of auto-transformers, measurement shall be done between pairs of line terminals and resistance per winding shall be calculated as per the following formula a.
Resistance per winding = 1.5 x Measured value
15. Take the winding temperature reading while doing the resistance measurement. 16. Calculate the resistance at 75°C as per the following formula 17. R = R (235+75)/(235+t ),Where R = Resistance measured at winding temperature t

Purpose of the Test
To measure value of earthing pit resistance and verify that, fault current has minimum resistance to ground
b)
Principle of the Test
There is hand operated D.C.generator. While feeding current to spike, D.C. current is converted into A.C. current by the converter and A.C. current received from spike is again converted in D.C. current by the help of rectifier, while going to generator. A.C. current is fed to the spike driven in earth because there should not be electrolytic effect.

Procedure for the Test 1.
Earth tester is used for measurement of Earth resistance.
2. For measurement of earth pit resistance, pit earthing connection should be disconnected from main grid. 3. Earth tester terminals C1 & P1 are shorted to each other and connected to the earth electrode (pipe) under test. 4.
Terminals P2 & C2 are connected to the two separate spikes driven in earth.
5. These two spikes are kept in same line at the distance of 25 meters and 50 meters due to which there will not be mutual interference in the field of individual spikes.

TRANSFORMER OIL INTRODUCTION Transformer oil is like a blood in human body. Once power transformer is charged and commissioned, transformer oil becomes a key element to monitor the healthiness of unit and DGA is one of the important tools to predict probable fault developing in unit as well as analyse insipient trippings. In service, it is continuously performing the role of insulation under electric stress and cooling medium. In India, the production technology, sourcing of petroleum crude and chemistry have undergone drastic changes in last 5 decades and today we have fairly good understanding of our requirement based on field experience. Standardisation Committee thoroughly deliberated on various aspects and has come out with universally acceptable data-sheet of transformer oil specification, which could be easily produced and will perform in Indian weather conditions. It is nevertheless, important to note that transformer oil alone can’t perform unless designer takes care of following key points: 1.
Design of cooling system to keep temperature rise under control.
2.
Correct quantum of oil depending upon voltage and MVA rating of transformer.
3.
To plug all probabilities of moisture ingress in transformer – Air-cell/ silica-gel breather/ Sealing System.
4.
To confirm that oil does not react with any insulation material used in transformer.
5. Characteristics of oil for ageing must be studied in advance depending upon application of transformer in a system. 6.
To take feedback from users on similar oil provided to other units in past for similar application.
The above key points must be covered in design review exercise.
Data Sheet As per Annexure - 6.I and testing of oil as per specified standard is mandatory.
Pre-Commissioning Checks 1.
Mode of transport and method of supply is important. Manufacturers and customers have to mutually agree on this. In case of bulk supply in tankers, due care is required to ensure that tanker is chemically neutral inside and sealed firmly for final inspection at its destination. In case, it is supplied in drums, it is to be ensured during usage that drum seal is intact.
2.
Transformer oil received at site in tanker must be unloaded to another tank through filter machine only. Its BDV and PPM value for water content must be verified to ascertain that there was no infringement during transportation.
3. Transformer oil received in drums must be stored on an elevated platform. Drums are to be horizontally placed with its opening cap in middle. 4.
Before filling oil in transformer through filter machine, it has to be filtered separately in oil tanks and ensure BDV and PPM value.
5.
During filtration, temperature of oil must remain within 60°C.
6.
Excessive filtration of oil must be avoided. In case BDV and PPM values are not achieved within 7 days, check the entire process thoroughly.

DESIGN REVIEW 1. INTRODUCTION
A design review is a planned exercise to ensure that both parties understand the application and the requirements of the applicable standards and specification. It is the opportunity for both parties to scrutinize the proposed design to ensure that the requirements will be met not only technical requirements but also those relating to other aspects of the contract, like quality. The whole emphasis of a design review is directed at establishing what is being provided is fit for purpose in all respects for the intended performance in service and that the manufacturer uses proven materials, design tools, methodology and experience to assure the product will meet this requirement, also in all respects.
Design reviews implies also to strengthen the relationship between the purchaser and manufacturer and a good opportunity for the purchaser to better understand the technical capabilities of the manufacturer and for the manufacturer to understand the need of their customers for the sake to have products adapted to their needs. Hence the design review is a good opportunity to interchange experiences that can be used to propose enhancements or betterments. For these reasons it is strongly advisable for the purchaser to have expert transformer engineer(s) with them during the meeting.
A design review, initiated and chaired by the purchaser should be held for the purpose of conducting an indepth review of the ordered Power Transformer and to allow the purchaser to have a clear understanding of the transformers design, manufacture and test including the likelihood of operating in service as intended.
The following are the pre-requisites for carrying out the design review: 1.
It is desirable to have vendor assessment of the manufacturer before placement of order.
2. Design review should be part of the tender inquiry and it becomes obligatory on the part of the customer and manufacturer to ensure compliances with the contract specifications. 3. It is to be ensured that all stake holders are involved in the design review. The designer both mechanical and electrical, ultimate user, production head and if possible, sub vendor also could be invited for the design review. Agenda is to be prepared by customer and sent to manufacturer well in advance. 4. Review may include certain informations which are of proprietary nature. It is, therefore, desirable to have mutual agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer for the confidentiality of information. 5. It is important for the success of design review that both the purchaser and manufacturer are clear on the requirements and well prepared to have open and frank sharing of information. 2.
OBJECTIVES OF DESIGN REVIEW
Both the purchaser and manufacturer must understand that following objectives are met during the design review: 1.
To ensure that there is a clear and mutual understanding of the transformer technical requirements according to purchaser specification and applicable industry standards.
2. To understand the application and verify the system and project requirements and to indicate areas where special attention may be required.
