INSTRUCTIONS FOR ERECTION, OPERATION, COMMISSIONING AND MAINTENANCE

OF 132 KV, OUTDOOR, OIL IMMERSED CURRENT TRANSFORMERS

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS: The CT should be visually examined and following points should be
carefully observed and implementation of the same be ensured.

a) Check the CT for oil leakage if any.

b) Check that the Porcelain Bushing is intact and has not got damaged during transit.
c) Check the oil level, viewing through the oil level indicator. The level of oil should not be below the
marking on the indicator.
d) Clean external surface of the CT including the Porcelain Bushings with a clean dry cloth to remove the
dust particles and moisture contents if any.
e) The LT gland (if not fitted) kept in the secondary terminal box be fitted.

COMMISSIONING:

a) Ensure that the mounting surface of the CT is horizontal and the CT is installed at 90 deg. to the
mounting platform and is not inclined.
b) Ensure that the connections to the Primary and Secondary windings are made as shown in the
connection diagram plate fixed on each CT. In case of tapping on secondary side there will be three
terminals marked S1, S2 & S3. Keep S3 open, if using S1 & S2 and keep S2 open, if using S1 & S3.
c) Ensure that the CT body is solidly grounded through the earthing terminals provided.
d) Kindly ensure that the CT is handled carefully, ensuring that the CT is not subjected to any kind of jerks.
e) Insulation Resistance between primary & secondary winding to be measured with 2500 V Meggar & that
between secondary winding & earth shall be measured with 500 V Meggar
f) If development of electrostatic field is experienced between the secondary terminals of CT's and
earth, any one terminal of each CT may please be earthed.
g) 2 Nos. MS supporting strips duly marked with a sticker REMOVE BEFORE
COMMISSIONING provided to protect the CT Bushing during transit should be removed.
h) Ensure that all the connections made to Primary as well as secondary terminals are fully tight so
as to avoid development of any excessive heat.

MAINTENANCE:

a) The CT in general does not require any periodical maintenance except for cleaning of surface of
Porcelain Bushing once in six months with a clean dry cloth. In case the CT is installed in heavily
polluted area, possibility of deposit of dust particles are more hence in such case the cleaning of
Bushing be carried out frequently.

b) The oil level of the CT be checked periodically. In case the oil has gone below the oil level mark
which could be due to some minor leakage, the same be detected and adequate steps to stop the
leakage be taken, also fresh centrifuged oil in CT should be poured upto the oil level mark on the
indicator.
