6. OPERATION
 Material: Material used will be as approved by the Engineer. The sizes
and routes routing will be as per the approved Shop Drawings.

 Storage and Protection: Deliver components parts to site, completely

identified in accordance with shop and certified CAD Drawings prepared
for this work. Store in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions,
above ground, properly protected from the weather and construction
activities.

7. INSTALLATION
 Off-loading:
 Use Fork Lifts or Mobile Crane to off-load the transformers.
 Make sure that the capacity of the fork lifts or mobile crane can carry
the weight of the transformers.
  Off load the transformer on the designated off loading area.
 Proper care must be observed during off loading to prevent
unnecessary damage or dents on the transformers.
 Ensure that the transformers are properly protected and covered with
tarpaulin.

 Pre-Installation:
 All materials and documentation relevant to this particular section of
works shall be checked by the Construction Department prior to the
commencement of works ensuring that these are correct and approved
type.
 Before any permanent works will continue, pre-inspection on all
materials, tools and access for installation to be carried out..

 Installation:
 It has been presumed that all related civil works has been completed
prior to transformer installation.
1. Before the transformer will be delivered to site, ensure that the
transformer railing is fixed as per approved drawings and comply on
municipality requirement.
2. Move the transformers from the designated off-loading area or storage
area using fork lift and set them in position near to the transformer
room.
3. Make sure that the orientation of the transformer with regards to the
position of cable entries is correct.
4. Push in the transformers inside the transformer room. Set the
transformer on their final positions and make sure that they are
properly secured and protected.
5. Raise Request for Inspection for Transformer Installation.
6. Conduct on site test for the transformer.
7. Test shall include winding insulation resistance test and shall conform
to manufacturer’s recommendation and specification.
8. All tests must be recorded and conducted in the presence of
Consultant by manufacturer testing engineer.
9. Dress and terminate the incoming and outgoing cables on the
transformers.
10. Ensure that the cables were supported properly.
11. Cable glands, lugs and termination kits shall be approved type.
12. After termination works has been completed, clean the transformer
