2.1 Handling ofanunpocked transformer
The vehicle used for transportation must be fitted with a horizontal wooden floor.
uring carrying, the capacitor voltage transformer s disassembled, Ihe units of the capacitor
voltage transformers must be carried on vertical pasition till their final destinatian.
Tha capacitor voltage transformer parts are fastened on wooden beams of the crate, The
complete packing should be covered with tarpaulin & tied during transit.
During the transport, check the fastenings and the protection around the CCV.

CONTROL &UNPACKING
Before UNPACKING
The crates will be exomined to evaluate the possible damages which could be due to knocks,
shocks orefallduring transport.
Itis required te check the good externalaspectofthecrates
Note: Traces of oil on the crates may le due to rough handling or due to leakage. They should
bercported
iFone of the apparatus shows a bad state, itis possible that the good have been partially or
totally damaged. In case, please contact the supplier in order to define all future disposals to
betaken,

After UNPACKING
The porcelain insulators will be examined to evaluate the importance of the damage and o
reportwillbe made whether:
Porcelain petticoats are damaged.
- Main porcelain insulator bodyis cracked.
- TheHV.head, the fixing flanges, the cover of the tonk and the low veltage terminal
boxare stained with oil
NOIE: Atrace of oi| might be due to improper cleaning of the capacitor voltage transformers
before dispatching. They should be clecned with grease remover and, when dry, the
suspected parts dusted with talcum powder for easy visual checking. Any oilleak darkens the
talcum powder
Any trace ofoil on the HV. headis probably due to a damaged expansion bellows.
Inthe eventofdamage on the insulator, the colurnn should be protected against moisture with
adhesive tope ofter thorough cleaning with grease remover, or protected with o polyethylene
plastic bag until further repairinstructions are received,
Shouldthe expansion bellows be damaged. reportta GE forfurtherinstructions
= Should HV or L¥terminalsbe damaged, report to GE for further instructions,

Remove the metallic cover which protects the head of the unitagainstenvironment,
Set the four lifting eyesatthe 4 corners ofthe tankof the bottom unit.
Fasten the slings through the 4 lifting eyes at the 4 corners of the tank, Don't forget to bind the
bottom part with a rope which also binds the lifting cables under the higher flange of the
insulator.
Put thelower elementon the structure and fasten it with bolts provided.
Note: It is very important that the surface on which the CCV'is placed is absolutely flat ond

ji, Itisnotrecommended ta corry out Capacitance and tan delta measurementatsite,
11, Amega-ohmmeteror any other meesuring instrument having aservice voltage equal
to orlower than 2 kV shouldbe used tocheck the insulation resistance values.
- Check that the connection diagram is the correct one and that it corresponds to the
characteristics shown on the name plete.
- The insulation resistance value measured between primary and secondary windings
shouldbe greater than 100 M0.
~ After disconnecting the earthed terminals, the insulation resistance between low
voltage windings should be greater than 25 MO with S00Vmegger.
~The insulation resistance between LW. windings and earth should be greater than
25 MOwith S0OV megaer.
NOTE: AFTER TESTING, THE CONNECTIONS TO EARTH MUST BE RECONNECTED.
Physical CHECKS
Check that the H.F. terminal is earthed by a copper strap on the terminal beard or if,
Cartier Frequency Current’ injection duties are called for, itis earthed via HLF. carrier

MAINTENANCE
A visual inspection during the first weeks of service is requested, followed by
inspection once in & months later and then at least every 2 years in light to medium polluted
coreos, annually in heavily polluted areas, and every six months in very heavily polluted ares,
Excessive build up of pollution material on the equipment can accelerate corrosion. The finish
will give protection providedithe conditions listed beloware adheredto.

~ Appearance of the insulator, clean it f the pollution build up is high. The equipment can
bewoshed down with a mild detergent and wermwater and then rinsed with clean water,
~The appearance of the metallic components parts are designed to be low corrosion
and do not require painting. Stoinless steel! nuts and bolts will become discoloured
groduolly overtime which should notibe token as corrosion.
~ Weather proofing and proper ventilation of the terminal box, clean inside ifnecessary,

= Inspector signs af oilleakage.
~ Check for the physical appearance of the terminal blocks ond the voltage limiting device
‘after opening the terminal baxcover, oncein 6 months/ whenever the shut down is taken.

Connections
All electrical connections should be checked periodically and tightened within 1 month of
charging.
Keep all termincls and other ports, clean and free from corrosion. Ifit is necessary to remoke
connections this should be done in accordance with the recommendation in the Section
“Handlingand mounting’
columnimpregnant.
The insulating quid used in capacitive columnsis based an synthetic aromatic hydrocarbons
{tupe M/DBT according to IEC 867). This kind of impregnant guarantees very high dielectric
performances but is very sensitive to atmospheric moisture, Consequentiy, in order to keep
the volume of the liquid adjusted to the temperoture, capacitor voltoge transformers are
equipped with a stainless steel bellows, This minimizes exchanges between the impregnant
andthe ambientatmosphere.
—_ Uocument No UWI =IM-01 ITIS FORBIDDEN TO DRAW SAMPLES FROM THE CAPACITOR UNIT.
Following the principle af its functioning, the cell exerts a slight pressure on the column. The
pressure denends on the cuantity of liquid exchanged between the column part and the cell part. Thus.
a continuous balance is maintained among the three factors: temperature, volume and pressure.
