1. Introduction
This manual provides essential guidelines for the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of [Manufacturer Name] dry-type transformers. Designed for indoor/outdoor use, these transformers are non-flammable, environmentally friendly, and require minimal maintenance. Always adhere to local electrical codes and safety regulations.
2. Safety Precautions
WARNING:
De-energize the transformer before installation or maintenance.
Only qualified personnel with electrical expertise should perform operations.
Use personal protective equipment (PPE) including insulated gloves and goggles.
Avoid exposure to moisture, dust, or corrosive substances.
Do not overload the transformer beyond its rated capacity.
3. Installation Guidelines
3.1 Pre-Installation Inspection
Verify the transformer’s nameplate data (voltage, kVA rating, frequency).
Check for shipping damage. Report issues to the supplier immediately.
3.2 Location Requirements
Install in a well-ventilated area with ambient temperature between -30°C to +40°C.
Maintain clearance distances:
≥ 300 mm from walls or obstructions.
≥ 500 mm above/below for airflow.
Ensure the floor can support the transformer’s weight (see Technical Specifications).
3.3 Electrical Connections
Follow wiring diagrams provided on the terminal box or in Appendix A.
Tighten terminals to the torque specified in Table 1.
Ground the transformer using a copper conductor (min. 10 mm² cross-section).
4. Operation
4.1 Initial Energization
Confirm all connections are correct and secure.
Remove temporary protective covers.
Energize the transformer without load for 24 hours to detect abnormalities.
Gradually apply load in increments (≤20% per hour).
4.2 Normal Operation
Monitor temperature:
Class F insulation: Max. 155°C (hotspot).
Use infrared thermography for periodic checks.
Ensure audible noise levels remain below 75 dB(A).
5. Maintenance
5.1 Routine Checks
Monthly: Inspect for dust accumulation, loose connections, or corrosion.
Annually: Perform insulation resistance tests (min. 100 MΩ at 5000V DC).
5.2 Cleaning
Use dry compressed air (<0.3 MPa) or a soft brush.
Never use liquids or solvents.
6. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Overheating | Overload, poor ventilation | Reduce load, improve airflow |
| Abnormal noise | Loose components | Tighten bolts/connections |
| Output voltage unstable | Faulty tap settings | Verify tap connections |
