1. Verify nameplate data of transformer is in accordance with job specifications.

Y1 Internally grounded

2. Inspect for oil leaks and any external damage to the transformer and bushings. Take oil
sample and send to Saudi Aramco lab for testing and evaluation.
3. Verify the correct bushings are used and terminations are correct.
4. Verify the exterior painting/coating is per Saudi Aramco specifications.
5. Perform visual inspection on feed through bushing and precipitator grid and
connections.
6. Make sure the man-way covers are open, place the off/on push button at the vessel in
the off position and lock and tag out the circuit breaker.

7. Make sure there is no combustible gas or vapor mixture inside the vessels.
8. Make sure no one is inside the vessel; post a guard or assign a safetyman outside the
vessel.

ELECTRICAL TESTS
Yes

No

1. Measure and record the resistance of each winding primary, secondary, and tertiary.
2. Measure and record the insulation resistance of each winding primary, secondary, and
tertiary.
3. Using primary voltage injection measure and record the induced voltage in the
secondary tertiary and the phase relationship between the secondary and the primary
and secondary.
4. Perform and record insulation resistance, ratio and magnetization tests on each C.T.
5. Megger, then perform high potential test on grid to test for dielectric breakdown.
6. Megger and high potential test feed through bushings
7. Perform impedance test on secondary and tertiary by energizing the primary with the
secondary and tertiary each separately short-circuited.
