3300 / 440V TRANSFORMER MAINTENANCE
PROCEDURE

HTCB – VCB (TOSHIBA MAKE)

LTCB – ACB (TOSHIBA MAKE)

1. Obtain work permit from operations for

the required transformer with proper tag Follow
number.
2. Check all the parameters on both HV/LV
side and both LV & HV are closed. Check
both transformers are in service.
3. Prepare caution notice/permit to work
and display it on HV & LV panels.
4. Switch off LV side breaker (ACB), and
then switch off HV side breaker (ACB) of
current tag number. Make sure that there is
no power interruption.
5. Open the HT breaker panel. Lift the latch
pin upward on both the handles pull the breaker outward from service
position to test position.
6. Switch off control supply and remove control plugs and the front o
‘CB’. Remove the stopper plate, pull the VCB outside breaker
compartment
7. Open LV (ACB) breaker panel.
8. Lift the flapper (Middle of breaker – right hand side) upward and insert
rack out/in handle into the slot.
9. Rotate the handle anti-clockwise till it reaches disconnected position.
Pull the ACB outward after lifting the stopper levers on both sides of ACB
10. Position the trolley carrier and move it inside, below the lifting pins or
both sides of ACB. Lift the trolley upward will it carries breaker. Pull the
trolley outside and place the breaker on floor.
11. Release charged spring by manually operating on/off of VCB and ACB.
12. Put the earthing hand le of 3.3 KV side earthing switch compartment
which is above VCB cubicle.
13. Slide the stopper plate towards right hand side, lift earthing leaver and
release the stopper plate.
14. Remove the castle key from ACB, insert in the earthing breaker operate
the key to release the locking pin.
15. Insert the rack-in handle to the slot (right side) and turn it clockwise if
it reaches service position.
16. Remove handle and switch on control supply of earthing switch.
17. Close panel door and turn earthing switch on. Observe earthing
indication.\provide barrier caution tape on both sides of transformer of
correct tag number.
18. Clean whole transformer. Open LV & HV side terminal boxes. Inspect
and tighten terminations hi-speed bushings.
19. Clean and tighten all earthing connections. Popular Posts
20. Measure insulation resistance of primary and secondary windings with
earth and between windings. For HT winding use 2.5KV megger. For LV MECHANICAL FITTER INTERVIEW
winding use 500V megger. Remove LT side neutral link before meggering. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
