Structure Characteristics
2.1 Description

This transformer is an oil-immersed product consisting of oil tank, transformer body,

porcelain bushing and bellow. The transformer body is composed of U type primary
windings and secondary windings; the main insulation is capacitor oil-paper insulation,
wrapped on the primary winding by high-voltage cable paper, it divided by many capacitor
shields, and the inner shield connects high potential and the external shield(or called earth
1

shield or end shield) connects ground. The primary winding is divided by four outline
terminals in two sections. every outlet terminals of primary winding are brought out the
porcelain bushing, for the structure with four outline terminals, the current ratio can be
adjusted by changing the connection method of the external connection parts on the
porcelain bushing (refer to Fig.1).the secondary winding is fixed on the bracket of oil tank
after combination. The transformer oil should be dewatered and degassed.
The tank is made of aluminium sheet jointed with four lift lugs for product lifting and
suspending.
This transformer is of a fully enclosed structure, with the stainless steel laminated bellows
on the top, which is to separate the transformer interior from air, prevent the transformer oil
from moisture and prolong the service life of the transformer oil and the transformer. The
oil level indicator is provided on the bellow to monitor whether filling the oil in the product
or not. This product shall be sealed in a sound way. Never sample the oil randomly; could
use oil drain valve on the bottom of the product to sampling, remember to refill the oil in
time after oil sampling, as specified in the operational instructions of bellow.
2.2

External Insulation

The external insulation is porcelain materials, for the surface maintenance ways please
refer to Inspection and Maintenance.
2.3

Primary Connection Terminal

The primary connection terminal of which size and shape are designed as per contract and
specified requirements is on the top of current transformer. The following drawings show
you the ratio changed by adjusting the primary terminals.

2.4 Secondary Connection and End Shield

Outlet Terminals

The secondary connection terminals are located in the moisture proof secondary terminal
box.
The secondary connection pad is casted by epoxy resin with a high sealed performance,
the secondary connection terminal is M8 copper bolts connected with leads conveniently.
Primary winding end shield outlet: brought out from the terminal box which on the oil tank.
Safety Caution: The secondary winding of current transformer must be
short-circuited and end shield terminal must be earthed when unused.
2.5 Earth Terminal
There is not less than one earth terminal on the oil tank of current transformer.

Transportation and Storage

4.1 Transportation

1Transportation Method
The 110kV current transformer should be transported on the vertical after fixed packaged,
and the 132kV 220kV current transformer should be transported on the horizontal after
fixed packaged. The transportation method (such as: railway, sea/river transportation, road,
air transportation and so on) depends on the distance and area. Use supporting structure
and gasket during transportation to protect from damage.
2Load and Unload
Put lifting ropes on the lifting lugs marks on the package before lifting the packages.
During unloading, keep smooth and slow to avoid collisions between packages, at the
same time. Put the package on a flat ground.
3Inspection for Transportation State
Please inspect the packages and contents in the package after arriving at the destination.
Possible damages as follows:
Damages due to shaking(such as porcelain, glass break-up)
Oil leakage(due to porcelain damage)
Distortion of metal parts (such as connection terminals, connection poles)
Shock indicator indicates a red color
4.2 Storage
Inspect the appearance as per packing list after receiving the packages, if necessary to
open the package to check inside, after inspection, please keep the package same as
original in order to store safely and completely.
1Storage Locations
Ground must be strong enough to withstand the weight of the packages without seeper.
The packages are suitable for stored outdoor, for the wooden cases, it should avoid
prolonged sun and rain.
2Storage Methods
During storage, keep the product from the ground at least 30cm for ventilation, and also
keep the entire packages from rainwater soaking.

Installation
5.1 Dismantlement

Remove off the Tic-Tac-frame from the top of the package, it must pay more attention to
the porcelain and other components not to damage each other .

5.2 Lift, Suspend and Installation for Horizontal Packing

Details as follows:
Fix the lifting rope to the right position as below, and then suspend the product package,
put the product on a flat ground to dismantle the cover plate and wood. See the below
Figure 1

Figure 1

The second step: dismantle the installation support side plate, installation bolt and cut the
steel strip. See the below Figure 2
The third step: start lifting the product as below Figure 3.

Figure 2

Figure 3

The four step: lifting the product to right position. See below Figure 4.
The Five step: dismantle the lifting equipment. See below Figure 5.

5.3 Lift, Suspend and Installation for Vertical Packing

When lifting the instrument transformer with the 4-hole on the base, and assure that during
lifting the metal parts dont touch the porcelain, in any conditions, the top of products cant
stand any pressure, and after that suspend the product from the supporting structure to put
it on the ground.(see the below Figure)

5.4 Earthed
Transformer ground terminals and system low potential must connect with each other
reliably. The mechanical strength must be high enough to withstand the system
short-circuit current.
Caution: unsafe or improper earthed would be dangerous to personal safety.
5.5 Connection on Primary Terminal
1Before connecting with the high end, clean the entire contact surface to keep good
electrical contact performance and also coat with protective oil. In order to keep
continuous effective contact pressure, provide spring washers for all the bolt connections.
The primary terminal of current transformer cant withstand over mechanical force from
bus bar, the permissible horizontal pull force is not more than 3000N.
2Take some special protective measures to avoid aluminum and copper parts contacting
with each other directly. For such connections, separate the aluminum with copper parts
with corrosion-resistant coating or copper-aluminum composite panels at the contact point.
3Primary Exchange Connection(Optional)
Before operation, set the primary winding rating. Clean the connection terminal and coat
the protective oil. Fix the connection terminal to ensure the adequate contact pressure.
7

5.6 Secondary Connection Terminal

Before operation with secondary connection terminal, ensure the system de-energized.
Connect the secondary terminals as per terminal markings.
5.7 Shipping Protection for Metal Bellow(used for 132kV

220kV Current

Transformers)
1Dismantle the fixed bolts on the bellow, remove the cover of bellow, and take out the
foam from bellow.
2Back the cover to the top of bellow and fix with above mentioned bolts dismantled.
