Instructions Manual
3. Test record sheet

All the information on the tests the transformer has passed, is recorded on the Test
Record Sheet and included with the information attached the transformer.
The Record Sheet indicates important data such as the no-load and load losses as well as
the impedance voltage, no-load current and the level of partial discharges.
Without exception, each transformer manufactured by Asea Brown Boveri, S.A., has its
own particular test record which is kept on file for a minimum period of 13 years and is
at the disposal of our clients at their request.
The test protocol satisfies standard UNE-EN-ISO/CEI 17025 and is identified with the
ENAC logotype and approval no. 262/LE591, which means that the tests targeted by the
document are approved by this organisation.

4. Reliability and safety
The transformer leaves the factory free of all defects (as shown by the tests it has passed)
and ready to be put into operation for the whole of its working life.
This level of reliability must be maintained during its handling, storage, and transport and
the appropriate checks must be made when it is put into service, with the protections
established by the H.V. Regulations from each country. In addition, the maintenance
standards detailed in this manual must be applied.
At the installation site, all necessary measures must be taken to protect those persons
who work regularly, or from time to time, in the proximity of the transformer whilst at
the same time ensuring that all those persons not involved in its operation do not have
access to it.
Attention!
Pay special attention to safety recommendations
− Signal indications
Following the signal indications that the transformers carry out.
− Regulations
Carrying out the of the protection and safety requests defined in the High Voltage
Regulations that have been established by the regulations from each country, in
force at the time.
− Fire extinction
It is not necessary to provide a device for collecting dielectric liquid or to install fire
extinction systems. These transformers should be installed in such a way that the
heat generated does not represent a fire risk for the materials nearby.

Instructions Manual
5. Construction details
The dry-type transformer can be supplied with or without enclosure. The cooling system
can be by natural air (AN) or forced air by means of fans (ANAF).
The insulating system is designed to withstand temperature increments of 100 ºK as aver-
age value on conductor, and a maximum temperature of 155ºC, in accordance with class
F defined in UNE-EN 60076 standard, part 2, and IEC 60076 standard, part 2.
Moreover, the construction details satisfy standard UNE 21538 and adapt to the technical
requirements of our clients’ specifications.
The normal operating conditions are:
- Altitude ≤1000 m.
- Ambient temperature:
t $VQUP $ $UZQF
t $VQUP $ $UZQF
The customer must specify all those environmental conditions that are not normal, in or-
der to include the necessary design modifications.

6. Receipt, transport, handling and storage
6.1 Receipt
The transformer is supplied totally mounted and ready to be connected to the H.V. and
L.V. lines and inside a plastic cover ( transformer without enclosure) that protects it from
dust and rain.
In some cases HV outer connection bar can be delivered disassembled in order to avoid
damages during transportation.
When the transformer is received, either at the client’s warehouse or at its final site, the
following points should be checked:
- The characteristics of the transformer, indicated on the Name Plate, should co-
incide with those that appear on the Test Record Sheet and these, at the same
time, should match the order specifications.
- Check that the transformer has all relevant safety warnings.
- Check the general state of the machine. There should be no dents in encapsu-
lated phases or connections.
- The state of the paint: check that there is no flaking, scratches, etc. on the en-
closure (if the transformer is of this type) or on metallic parts.
- Check all of the transformer’s accessories (wheels, thermometer, etc.) If any
damage is observed, or if any of these have been lost during transport, the
transport company and manufacturer should be informed immediately to de-
termine who is responsible and to calculate the cost involved.
- Before unpacking the transformer, especially during winter or when the differ-
ence in temperature between indoors and outdoors is considerable, a pruden-
tial period of time should be waited (8 to 24 hour) so that the transformer’s
temperature can stabilize. This is to prevent undesired condensation on the
transformer surface.

Instructions Manual
Important:
In case that an anomaly is discovered when the transformer is received, the manufac-
turer should be contacted immediately. If, within a period of 5 days, the manufacturer
has not received notification of anomalies or defects it will be considered that the
transformer is in perfect condition and the manufacturer will not be liable for what
may occur to the transformer during operation nor its consequences.
6.2 Transport and handling

During transport the transformer should not be moved by pushing on coils or connec-
tions. The transformer is fitted with four rings on the wheel base profiles where cables
for dragging can be attached. If the transformer has to be pushed, then this can be car-
ried out by pushing on the flanges that hold the magnetic circuit in place.
The top flanges have 4 lifting lugs or holes and hoisting can be carried out by attaching
slings that form an angle of 50-70º to the lifting lugs or to the transformer enclosure roof.
- The name plate indicates the total weight of the transformer. This must be
taken into account when deciding on the device used for lifting.
- The attachment holes or lifting lugs have a minimum diameter of 40 mm.
- The base and cooling elements (in case of fans) are designed to ensure that
the transformer can be moved using a lever and do not impede handling; how-
ever, care must be taken not to push on the encapsulated phases. If levers are
used, we recommend using wooden stops to protect those elements.
6.3 Storage
The dry-type transformer is for indoor installation. Do not store in places where it is ex-
posed to effects of the weather.
If the transformer is not going to be put into operation immediately then it should be
stored bearing in mind the following recommendations:

6.3.1 The temperature in the storage place can not be below than –25ºC (C1 and
C2 type).
When C1 type transformers storage will be lengthy with temperatures lower than
–25ºC it must be consult with the manufacturer.
6.3.2 The place will be dry, clean and good ventilated.
When is stored, this type of transformer should remain inside its plastic packaging
cover.
In particularly damp places, bags with humidity absorbing products like silicagel
should be placed near the coils and to provide an adequate ventilation.
6.3.3 The indications given in point 6.2 will be followed for lifting and transport-
ing the transformer.
6.3.4 The indications given in point 6.2 will be taken into account during trans-
port and handling. Do not pressure on encapsulated phases, connections or termi-
nals. Do not damage paintwork.
6.3.5 If the transformer is lifted and transported by means of a fork-lift truck, the
prongs of the truck should be inserted inside the wheel coupling profiles, protect-
ing the cooling elements (in case of fans) from any possible damaged that could
be caused by the lifting machine.
6.3.6 If the transformer is equipped with plug-in terminals, these should all have
cone protectors to ensure that the terminal contacts remain clean and undamaged.
Asea Brown Boveri is not to be held responsible for possible damage

if the storage conditions are not respected.

Instructions Manual
7. Installation
The transformer manufacturer is not responsible for its installation. Installation must be
carried out in accordance with the laws currently in force and following the instructions
given by the manufacturer.
The following points must be taken into account when installing the machine:
- Bolt HV outer connection bar to free terminals in the extreme windings (when
delivered disassembly). Check torques with table in section 11.
- Earth all voltageless metallic parts by means of the screw available for this pur-
pose.
- Connect the L.V. neutral to earth when this is compulsory or when it is a re-
quirement of the earth fault protection system.
- Ensure that terminals and bridges are correctly connected and that all of the
transformer’s mobile parts are securely fixed.
- In transformers with a dual ratio in H.V. or L.V. ensure that the transformer is
connected to the corresponding mains voltage or output voltage.
- Check that the position of the tap changer is correct in accordance with the
mains.
- Consult the name plate when the position is changed.
- Connect the thermal protection system in accordance with the diagram sup-
plied.
- Revise the tight-fitting of all the screws according to the list of chapter 11.4
The electric current passing through the windings and the magnetisation of the magnetic
circuit produce electric losses that are transformed into heat. To prevent this heat from
accumulating in the transformer with the consequent risks involved, the transformer is
designed to cool naturally, however, there should also be adequate ventilation at the in-
stallation site.
The transformer is designed and built to withstand abnormal situations of overvoltage
and overcurrents including those of a short-circuit in the secondary winding; however,
the magnitude and duration of these should be limited by means of the appropriate ele-
ments.

7.1 Installation site and protection of persons
The site conditions and design , both for technical reasons and for the protection and
safety of persons and property, are defined in the High Voltage Regulations established
by Spanish law (or the corresponding country law) in force at the time.
The instructions of the Electricity Company, which is familiar both with the Regulations
and the specific characteristics of the system to which the transformer is to be connected,
must also be taken into account.
A horizontal base that can withstand the weight of the transformer without deformation
should be prepared. The total weight is indicated on the transformer’s name plate.
The wheels should also be blocked to prevent the transformer from moving during op-
eration.
7.2 Transformer protection

Although the H.V. Regulations from each country indicate the type of protection that the
transformer must have, the following is essential to ensure the reliability and operation of
the transformer.
7.2.1 Protection from overcurrents and overheating

The transformer must be protected from thermal and dynamic effects caused by overcur-
rents and shortcircuits.
For this purpose there should be an automatic tap changer or short-circuit fuses which
take into account the possible overloads and are calibrated to prevent currents from pass-
ing that are 1.5 or 2 times greater than the assigned current (see name plate).
7.2.2 Ventilation of the transformer cell

As already indicated, there should be suitable ventilation to prevent the transformer from
overheating above the limits established by the standards.
If the transformer is mounted inside a cell, it should be ensured that it is well-ventilated
and that it is of the correct size to allow air to pass in and out.
The transformer must be located at least 100 mm from the cell walls and its HV&LV
conections must be at least 350 mm from the cell roof and walls.
The input E and output S surfaces should have at least the surface areas in m2 given by
the following formulas:
E = 0.185 * P / √ H S=1,15E

Instructions Manual
Where:
H = Distance between the centres of openings, expressed in metres.
P = The sum of the no-load and full-load losses of the transformer in kW.
NOTE: This formula is valid for a maximum room temperature of 40ºC and a maximum
altitude of 1000 m.
The following should be avoided:
- The ambient air temperature should not exceed that indicated by the stand-
ards.
- The transformer should not be installed in small rooms with blinds or metallic
walls exposed to direct sunlight.
- The air for cooling the transformer should not be aspired or expelled in the
same room in which it is installed.
- The transformer should not be installed in rooms that are destined for other
uses; in particular in those in which there are machines that work at high tem-
peratures: boilers, steam generators, etc.
- If the transformer cannot be installed in rooms with sufficient natural ventila-
tion, forced ventilation should be used.
7.2.3 Fire extinction systems

It is not necessary to provide a device for collecting dielectric liquid or to install fire
extinction systems. These transformers should be installed in such a way that the heat
generated does not represent a fire risk for the materials nearby.
7.2.4 Protection from overvoltages

To protect the transformer from industrial frequency overvoltages and those of an atmos-
pheric origin, variable resistance lightning arresters should be used. The characteristics of
the lightning arresters will depend on the level of insulation of the transformer and char-
acteristics of the mains system. They will be earthed in accordance with H.V. Regulations
from each country.
At this point it is essential to receive the collaboration of the Electricity Company to
whose system the transformer is going to be connected.

8. Connections
8.1 Coupling
When the transformer is connected to the H.V. and L.V. circuits, connecting should be
carried out in such a way that it does not apply any strain on the terminals and should
have a large enough section to prevent excessive heating. Connections should also be
able to dilate.
It is important to ensure a suitable connection and tightening of all the bolts.
Important
Check that the tap changer is in the correct position and, in case of multi-voltage
transformers, that the H.V. winding is connected at what is going to be the working
voltage.
The tap changers should always be manipulated without voltage!
- Use an ohmmeter to check the continuity of the circuit with the tap changer in
all of the positions and check that the bridges are correctly fixed in the work-
ing position.
- The enclosure or lower flange of the transformer should be securely and per-
manently connected to earth by means of the earthing screws on the bottom
right of the two larger, lower, opposite faces of the enclosure or flange. The
earthing conductor should be of the dimensions indicated in the H.V. Regu-
lations from each country and in accordance with the characteristics of the
transformer.
8.2 Parallel Coupling

If the transformer has to be parallel-coupled to other transformers, check that it fulfils the
voltage compatibility conditions established by the standards, check the position of tap
changer, impedance voltage and connections unit. See standards no. IEC 60076-4 y IEC
60606-4.
- Identical rated voltages and frequencies (voltage tolerance 0,5%).
- The transformers should belong to the same vectorial group.
- Identical short-circuit voltage (tolerance ±10%).
- Power ratio of (maximum) 3/1 at continuous load.

Instructions Manual
9. Prevention of noise and electrical breakdown discharges
9.1 Noises
- When the transformer is connected to the mains, check that the position of the
tap changer and the H.V. winding connection (if there is more than one) is that
of the working voltage. Otherwise the magnetic circuit may become over satu-
rated and the noise level will increase notably.
- Check that the transformers four wheels are firmly resting on the ground.
- Do not attach grids or guards to the metallic walls of the transformer.
- Fit flexible L.V. cables, held in place by means of insulating brackets.

The acoustic power level values indicated in the table are the maximum admissible and
are determined based on the acoustic pressure values measured in the transformer axles
in four positions at 0.3 m according to standard UNE-EN 60076-10.

9.2 Electrical Breakdown discharges
To prevent electrical breakdown discharges, maintain the distances indicated in the table,
between H.V. and L.V., or metallic parts.
These distances are:
Highest voltage for equipment (kv) Distance (x) (mm) From insulated parts
12 50
24 120
36 200
(L .V.)
x
H.V.
It is very important to maintain the minimum distance x from the insulated parts High
Voltage windings or connections to the metallic parts or Low Voltage, to avoid a possible
breakdown.
For distances between High Voltage non-insulated parts and Low Voltage metallic parts
the suitable values in the High Voltage regulations or applicable standards in each coun-
try will be taken.
Asea Brown Boveri does not accept any liability for possible failures if this dis-
tance is not respected.
Very important
The insulation of the coils does not guarantee the safety of persons in the event of
accidental contact. For this reason these transformers should not be installed in eas-
ily accessible places.
Warning and danger signs that are easily visible should be placed on the coil covering.

Instructions Manual
10. Checks to be carried out before putting the transformer

into operation
10.1 Checks
- The transformer is supplied ready for installation but before proceeding to put
it into operation the following checks should be carried out:
- All of the recommendations indicated in Chapters: 7. Installation, 8. Connec-
tions, and 9. Prevention of noise and electrical breakdown discharges should
be checked.
- The transformer should also be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner to eliminate
any dust.
- Check the thermal protection device (see Chap. 14 “Accessories”).
- Check insulation resistance according to the following table:
Insulation between Test Voltage Minimum Value in MΩ
A.T./B.T. 5.000 v 1 per kV A.T.

A.T./Earth 5.000 v 1 per kV A.T.
B.T./Earth 2.000 v 2
10.2 Putting the transformer into operation

Once the transformer has been connected to the H.V. mains:
- Voltage will be applied in a non-load state and observed for one hour. No
anomalies should occur during this period of time.
- After storage or disconnection for a longer period, it is recommendable to
connect the transformer during four hours in no-load in order to dehumidity
through core heating. After this period it can be put into a normal operation.
- The voltage will be measured at the L.V. terminals to check the corresponding
output voltage depending on the transformation ratio.
- Apply the load progressively until the rated power is reached and check the
increase in temperature.

11. Maintenance
11.1 Frequency of checks

Annually: transformers in normal environments.
Quarterly: transformers in environments that are contaminated with dust or industrial
fumes, or placed in windmills and exposed to vibrations.
11.2 Precautions
All the precautions defined by current legislation must be taken. The following measures
are amongst the most important ones.
Before examining or carrying out maintenance work on the transformer:
- Disconnect the H.V. and L.V. switches so that the transformer is de-energised
and out of service.
- Using an insulating rod the transformer bushings should be earthed to ensure
that there is no remaining static charge.
- The bushings are then short-circuited and earthed.
11.3 Checks
- Check and tighten screws, connections, voltage change bridges and coil sup-
port blocks.
- Clean any dust surfaces using a vacuum cleaner or by blowing with dry air or
nitrogen (maximum pressure 3 Kg/cm²). Nitrogen bottles as normally supplied,
equipped with a pressure reducer, can also be used.
- Check the thermal protection device that includes the sensors (Pt100 type or
thermistors) and the measuring control unit (see chapter 14 “Accessories”).
Attention!
This is a low-maintenance transformer

When one or both of the bars to be joined together are aluminum, the layer of alumini-
um oxide must be removed by brushing or sandpapering. This layer is practically invis-
ible and extremely resistant, so its presence prevents making a good contact. This opera-
tion must be repeated if the connection bars are dismounted for any reason.
Once clean, apply a very fine coat of special grease for electrical contacts.
Aluminium/copper joints must have a bi-metal plate.
The grip torques, indicated on the table, correspond to greased bolts.
Greasing oil or white vaseline grease can be used, in order to not soil the area around
the connection.

12. Environment
12.1 Introduction
Asea Brown Boveri, S.A., has implemented and certified at its plant in Zaragoza, an En-
vironmental Management System as per standard UNE-EN-ISO 14001 and Regulation CE
761/2001 (EMAS) and it has identified the possible accidents, incidents and situations that
could produce environmental effects that are detrimental to the Environment.
The environmental management system is applied both in the manufacturing processes
and in the product operation as set out in the environmental policy.
Our commitment is for continuous improvement and within this context we offer our
customers environmental information concerning the product laid out in points 3, 4 and
5 of this chapter. This information is based on our current knowledge and with the com-
mitment to improve it as our knowledge increases.
We inform you, too, that the existing legislation is broad and extensive and is continu-
ously evolving, which makes it difficult to offer an updated overview of it. However, you
will find legislation of the European community, of the country itself and of the autono-
mous communities and Town Councils in several pages of Internet.
The Quality and Environment Dept. of Asea Brown Boveri Zaragoza places itself at the
disposal of its customers to answer any queries or give assistance on Environment-related
issues.

Instructions Manual
12.3 Environmental impact of the transformer in use
Environmental impact
This is any action, whether it be harmful or beneficial, that transforms the environ-
ment; said action being caused directly by the activities, products and services.
Environmental impacts identified with the transformer in use:

- Electricity consumption.
- Noise emission.
- Increase of surrounding temperature.
12.3.1 Electricity consumption

The transformer is a static electrical machine, which has an efficiency of approximately
98%. This 2% power is inverted into losses in its magnetic circuit and in the windings.
These losses are dissipated into heat in the surrounding environment and they are lim-
ited and subject to compliance with Standards and/or specifications of our customers.
12.3.2 Noise emission

The transformer has a magnetic circuit, which, due to the effect of magneto-striction
caused by the magnetic flow, issues a noise, which may be troublesome for people, as
well as vibrations, which are transmitted through the floor or structure causing noises in
places close to the location of the transformer.
The sound level of the transformers is regulated by the relative UNE-EN/IEC standards, as
well as by town council regulations, which depend on whether it is located in urban or
industrial areas.
We can limit its impact if we follow the instructions given in chapter 9.

12.3.3 Increase of the surrounding temperature
The dissipation of losses in the magnetic core and in the windings gives rise to an in-
crease in the temperature around the transformer, which, in turn, dissipates into the me-
dium preferred by the lowest surrounding temperature.
The non-existent emission of gases or losses of coolant make the environmental impact
minimal.
12.4 Environmental aspects in emergency situations

The dry-type transformer doesn't contain any cooling liquid and it isn't necessary any
liquid retention device
Electricity consumption.
Causes: Excessive voltage or current supply.
Excessive noise level.
Causes: Excessive voltage supply. Slackening of the magnetic core. Foreign objects
close to the transformer, bad location of the transformer near reflecting objects. Bad
support. Rigid connection in L.V.
Excessive heating.
Causes: Excessive voltage or current supply, nearby objects that prevent the natural
cooling and/or foreign bodies are blocking the cooling channels.
Fire.
Causes: Faulty operation of the transformer. Internal short-circuit.
The trafo is self-extinguishing.
Combustion gases.
Causes: Fire.
These gases are not harmful for health or environment.

Instructions Manual
12.5. Waste
This type of transformer does not generate waste in normal operation.
The packaging and/or the palets that are included in the transformer delivery are wood-
en and can be recycled or used again according to its condition. Standard packaging are
made of recyclabel plastic as well.
¡Please be respectful with the environmental.

Use again or recycle these products!
During their maintenance they do not generate waste and at the end of their lifespan the
following can be generated:
- Encapsulated windings. Any aluminium or copper scrap can be recovered if
the resin coating is destroyed. The resin is managed in the same way as inert
urban waste and the copper or aluminium can be recycled.
- Copper or aluminium L.V. windings. They can be recycled by eliminating the
insulating coating adhered to its surface.
- The magnetic plate can be eliminated as scrap or to retrain.
- The flanges, casings, wheels, nuts and bolts and in general the metal parts can
be eliminated as scrap or to retrain.
12.6. Fire
This transformer is self-extinguishing and resistant to burning; nevertheless, the following
measures must be taken into account to extinguish it:
WARNING!
Do NOT use WATER to try to fight the fire

13. Repairs
- If an anomaly in the operation of the transformer is observed, this should be
reported to the manufacturer who will then advise the appropriate actions.
- If, having checked the transformer, it is found that it has to be repaired or al-
tered, these operations will be carried out by the manufacturer.
WARNING!
If you receive the transformer in damaged conditions, you should contact the factory
immediantely Please bear in mind that it might also be important to take pictures of
the anomalies before unloading the transformer and to make anote of them in the
carriers CMR.
Note:
If these instructions are not followed, the original manufacturer is no longer respon-
sible for the functionality of the transformer and its reliability. This responsibility falls
on the person who has carried out the repair.
