Transformer shall be either collected from the stores or other place, or received
directly from manufacturers works.

After receiving the equipments inspect for any abnormalities and damages, If any,
inform LTEM Construction Manager / Stores for necessary action.

The foundation for transformer shall be made ready before installation. Verify the
cable entry for HV, LV and control cables as per approved drawings.

Transformer weighing more than 30 tons is normally installed by specialized

erection contractor. Transformer up to 30 tons is installed by LTEM using the crane
and other lifting facilities.

Transformer shall be positioned centrally on foundation blocks, and clearances shall

be checked.

Transformer shall be finally positioned for line and level to the dimensions given in
the drawings.

Care shall be taken in positioning in relation to cable, cable duct and busbar
trunking positions.

Transformer more than 10MVA capacity are supplied with main tank separately.
Radiators and conservators and topping up oil will be supplied in separate
containers/drums.

Once the transformer is on foundation, oil in drums for topping up is tested for its
BDV and the values recorded against drum no. The top, bottom and OLTC sample
is taken and BDV recorded. If the above values are accepted, assembling of
radiators and conservator tank can be started.

It is recommended; the filling of oil shall be through a vacuum filtration plant with
heating facilities and filtered. Oil shall be circulated at least 24 hrs or until oil temp
reaches steady state value.

BDV of oil is verified once the filtration plant is off and the value recorded. Once the
transformer is cooled to ambient temp oil level is adjusted as per manufacturers
recommendation.

Trapped air in the main tank, radiators, OLTC tank is released through the air
release plugs provided. All valves except sampling & drain valves shall be opened.

HV, LV and Control cabling as applicable and terminations shall be completed as

per approved schedule.

Earthing of transformer body and neutral shall be completed.
