NITROGEN INJECTION EXPLOSION PREVENTION AND FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR
AUTO-TRANSFORMERS.
0. FOREWORD
1. SCOPE
1.2 The system requires rigid piping connectors for oil drainage from
transformer and nitrogen injection there into, hence, necessary
provisions for installation of the said fire protection system shall
be made during manufacturing of transformer.

always minimalized in order to get a better efficiency (This is a
binding condition).
2. Reference Standard.
3. System Components
- Rupture Disk.
- Transformer Depressurization Set and Explosive Gas Elimination
Set.
- Oil and Gas Separation Tank for storing drained oil and expelling
flammable gases.
- Temperature/file sensors.
- Nitrogen cylinder
- Electrical actuator
- Pressure reducer
- Nitrogen injection valves
- Conservator tank shutter valve
- Electrical connectors
4. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
4.1 GENERAL
This document is property of Design NTDC. No Part of this can be modified or used for any purpose other than its designated purpose.
depressurize transformer tank and inject nitrogen into the
transformer oil.
iii) The explosion prevention and fire protection system shall operate
quickly and reliably. The Supplier shall submit the pressure relief
device and fire detection scheme for approval of the Engineer.
4.4 The depressurization sets shall not allow oxygen to enter the
transformer or the On Load Tap Changer tanks when the Explosion
and Fire Prevention Rupture Disk have been activated.
4.5 The explosive gases elimination set shall create a safe environment
in the transformer and the on load tap changer after the
depressurized process by injecting a strong nitrogen flow in the
tank.
4.6 An Oil Gases Separation Set shall collect the depressurized oil and
explosive flammable gases mixture and shall separate the oil from
gases. Gases shall then be channeled to a remote area where they
can burn safely.
This document is property of Design NTDC. No Part of this can be modified or used for any purpose other than its designated purpose.
4.8 The system shall be designed for manual, automatic and electrical
remote operation and shall be provided in free standing and self
supporting design.
5. RUPTURE DISK
5.3 Signal from the Rupture Disk shall activate the nitrogen injection
only with simultaneous tripping of HV and LV circuit breakers of
the transformer.
6.3 Sufficient distance must be kept between the top of the injection
valves and the base of the transformer tank in order to avoid
stirring of any sludge and debris present in the oil.
6.4 Nitrogen injection valves shall also include a manual closing device
for the purpose of installation and maintenance.
7. TEMPERATURE/FIRE SENSORS.

steel mounted brackets welded to the transformer top cover. The
sensors shall be bolted to the brackets and shall stand
approximately 100mm above the cover.
8.2 The shutter valve shall be designed to close only when there is
rapid drop in transformer oil pressure typically caused by
Depressurization sequence. It shall be positioned between the
conservator tank and the Buchholz relay in a horizontal position.
9. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
10.1 GENERAL
10.1.1 All material shall be of the highest grade, free from defects,
imperfections and of the grades designated, conforming to the
requirements of the latest issue of the relevant standards.
10.1.2 All the materials, supplies and articles, not fabricated by the
This document is property of Design NTDC. No Part of this can be modified or used for any purpose other than its designated purpose.
manufacturer of transformer, shall be the products of recognized
and reputable manufacturers.
10.1.3 The design of all the civil works for the system shall be
responsibility of Contractor and subject to the approval of the
Engineer.
10.1.4 Sensing devices shall be made of corrosion resistant material
enclosed in weatherproof covers and shall be suitably
compensated for foolproof outdoor operation regardless of
weather conditions.
10.1.7 The control panel shall be provided with a test mode switch to
check the continuity of the different sensing circuits.
10.1.8 For design architecture and system logic please refer to Fig.-1 and
Fig.2
11. TESTS
11.1 Test Reports
In this context the bidder shall furnish a certificate from an
independent high voltage laboratory located out of the country of
the manufacturer (preference to KEMA, CESI or any STL lab.)
indicating that the supplier of the system has performed sufficient
at least 30 successful full scale live tests with electrical arc inside
the oil of a sealed transformer tank.
11.2 FAT
The functional testing of fire protection system shall be carried out
on one transformer by means of external input to pressure and
temperature/fire sensors
