Manual No/Rev Operators Instructions for
W61-001E / 9 Transformer Oil Pumps
1.1 SPP Pumps Limited Type AT pumps are designed for installation in the oil
cooling circuits of electrical transformers and converters. Installations can be
either static, or mobile, e.g. locomotive applications. Do not use for any other
purpose without permission from SPP Pumps Limited.
A Pump Data Plate is fitted to each unit and must not be removed. Loss
of this plate could make identification impossible. This in turn could affect
safety and cause difficulty in obtaining spare parts. Should accidental loss
or damage occur, contact SPP Pumps Limited, immediately.
1.2 Check that all personnel installing, operating or maintaining Type AT pumps
are adequately qualified, trained and issued with the correct tools. Limit
access to those persons only.
1.3 The above persons must study the instruction manual BEFORE any work is
done. They must first confirm that the manual is the correct copy by
comparing the serial number on the Pump Data Plate with that on the
manual. Personnel must also comply with all local and industry based
safety instructions and regulations, in addition to those in this manual.
1.4 Always wear ear protection where the equipment noise level exceeds locally
defined safe limits. Use eye and other protection when working with
pressurised systems and hazardous substances. Use any other personal
protection equipment where local rules apply.
1.5 Do NOT wear loose or frayed clothing or jewellery that could catch or
become trapped in any moving parts.
1.6 Note the 'Limits of Product Application - Permissible Use' specified at the
beginning of the manual. If the equipment is operated outside these limits
there will be an increased risk to safety and premature and hazardous pump
failure.
1.7 Do NOT touch surfaces that may be hot. Surfaces known to be hot in
normal running will be marked with a HOT warning symbol. Be cautious,
high surfaces temperatures can also occur where hot fluids are being
pumped, or a fault is developing.

1.9 Type AT pumps are designed to be installed using specific mounting points.
When pumps are not mounted take care that units are safely chocked and
supported, with no risk to the pumps themselves and no hazard to people.
1.10 Ensure that the equipment to which the pump is mounted is sufficiently
strong to withstand all static and dynamic loads. In the case of axial (in-line)
pumps this will be the pipework itself.
1.11 Safety instructions within this manual are marked with symbols, as follows:
ATTENTION This symbol gives warning of a hazard to the pump itself, which in turn
could cause a risk to personal safety.
Type AT pumps are despatched fully assembled. They are protected against
corrosion and the ingress of internal contamination and packed for transport
by normal road, rail and sea carriers.

2.3 Storage
If the pump unit is not used immediately store it carefully in a sheltered, dry
location with as uniform a temperature as possible. It must be completely
isolated from vibration. Preferably store the unit in the vertical position.
Ensure that the unit is sufficiently well chocked that it presents no risk either
to the pump itself or to people nearby.
ATTENTION Do not remove the covers fitted to the pipe flanges until immediately
before connection. These provide protection from the ingress of dirt. It is
essential that the pump remains absolutely clean internally.
For storage longer than 3 months, or where abnormal conditions prevail, e.g.
adverse environments, damp, corrosive atmospheres, vibration or other
physical forces etc., please refer to SPP Pumps Limited.

Transformer Oil Pumps W61-001E / 9
SPP Pumps Limited Type AT pumps are ranges of axial (in-line) and
centrifugal end-suction (elbow) oil pumps designed to pump oil within the
cooling circuits of electrical transformers and converters. These may be
static or mobile, e.g. locomotive traction transformers. The casing material
can be either cast iron or lightweight aluminium.
ATOGA1.CDR
The axial (in-line) pump consists of a pump impeller and driving motor,
mounted on a common shaft, with the transformer oil flowing through the
windings. This eliminates the need for a shaft seal. The oil serves to cool
the motor and lubricate the shaft bearings. Some pump types are also fitted
with an impeller/shaft locking device. Pumps can be mounted vertically or
horizontally, and are both compact and weatherproof.
The pump suction and delivery branches both end in drilled flanges. These
are suitable for bolting directly into the pipework. In some cases the suction

and discharge pipework support the pump; in others lugs, or tapped bosses,
act as mountings.
Pumps with single phase motors usually have the capacitor carried in an
enlarged terminal box, but with larger pumps it may be arranged for
separate mounting.
The pump Data plate is stamped with the pump capacity in litres/second at a
stated head in metres. Additionally, the Data plate states the motor full load
current and speed.
Avoid sharp bends, abrupt changes in pipe sections, etc., particularly close
to the pump.
Our policy is one of continuous improvement and we reserve the right to alter specifications without giving notice.

Shearing Hazard
DO NOT put fingers or hands etc. into the suction or discharge outlets.
Keep the protection covers in place until removal is necessary for
installation. Always replace the covers after inspection.
If any damage is found on receipt, notify the carrier and SPP Pumps Limited.
as soon as possible. Do not use the pump until cleared to do so by SPP
Pumps Limited.
Before installation carefully check that the pump was not damaged during
delivery or storage.
Make sure the entire oil circuit is perfectly clean and free from moisture and
foreign matter. The motor and bearings are designed for working in clean oil
only. Any contact with contaminants will cause serious damage.
Before installation, check that the pump mounting location is suitable for
accepting the pump unit, if in doubt refer to installation drawings. Ensure
that the equipment to which the pump is mounted can safely withstand all
static and dynamic loads.
that no damage occurs to the bearings or any other part of the pump
because of the drying process.

Both axial flow (in-line) and centrifugal end suction (elbow) pumps
should be mounted using the lugs, or tapped bosses where these are fitted.
The suction and discharge flanges should then be bolted up to the pipework
ensuring no strain is placed on the pump. Use gaskets between the pump
and pipe flanges. Where the pump is not provided with specific mounting
points the suction and discharge pipe flanges are designed to act as
mountings, in turn fully supported by the pipework.
Note: Install the pump with the terminal housing and cover positioned so
that the cable gland is on the underside and the vent hole points
downwards.
Tighten up mounting fasteners to the correct torque for the Strength Grade
and Size of bolts and nuts used. A guide is included in Section 8.0. Correct
pre-loading of fasteners is essential.
Check that the power supply available is suitable for the pump. Electrical
details are stamped on the Pump Data Plate.
Some pumps are fitted with an earth terminal next to the terminal box. Use
this for connecting earth bonding cables.

Visually check through the suction branch that the rotation is as shown on
the casing.
The visual indicator, fitted to some pumps, will also show the direction of
rotation when filled with oil.
Note: Do not rely on the direction of oil flow. Some types of pump will give
the same direction of flow whatever the rotation.

Hot Surfaces
Do NOT touch any surface marked with a HOT symbol either during
running or after stopping, until the unit has cooled down. Be cautious
and aware that surfaces can become hot as a result of pumping hot
fluids or where a fault is starting to develop.
Ensure the system is filled with oil. Bleed air from the pump by releasing the
uppermost vent plug until air-free oil escapes. Re-tighten the plug.
Note: Type AT pumps are not self-priming and must be flooded to pump
effectively.

Transformer Oil Pumps W61-001E / 9
Ensure that the pump is left with all system valves and power supplies set in
the correct mode for future operation.
Type AT pumps are glandless and lubricated by the pumped liquid. They
require no regular maintenance other than periodic checks on operating
behaviour (temperature, noise or vibration) and current consumption.
Sample and analyse the system oil for compliance with the maximum
contamination requirement of ISO 4406 17/13. The oil should then be
changed or filtered as indicated by the test results.

Please quote the pump Type, Serial No. and Customer Ref. No. detailed on
the SPP Pumps Limited Pump Data Plate.
Isolate the electrical power supply and position a warning notice to prevent
the supply being accidentally re-energised.
Remove the terminal box cover, tag the supply cables for later reconnection,
and then disconnect.
Close the pump isolating valves in the pipeline. Drain the oil from the pump
by removing the pump drain plug, if fitted. After draining, refit the plug.
Where no drain is provided on the pump, the oil will need to be drained via
the system drain valves. In this case the pump isolating valves should be
open.
Attach lifting slings to the pump unit as described in Section 2, and carefully
take the weight with the lifting device. Take care not to strain the pipework.
Remove the bolts from the pump/pipe flanges and remove the pump unit
from the system. Immediately fit protection covers to the exposed pump and
pipe flanges. Dispose of old flange gaskets in the correct manner. New
gaskets should always be fitted on re-assembly.
