 Parts and function
Lifting lug
The arrangement of lifting the active part of the
transformer along with the cover of the tank by means
of lifting lugs without disturbing the connections. Also
complete transformer lifting lugs shall be provided.
 Cooling:
Natural air cooling

Ventilation
dry type transformers typically have a fan-cooled
rating that is 1.33 times the self-cooled rating. Some
transformer designs can provide ratings of 1.4 to 1.5
times self-cooled units. If you have such requirements,
you should prepare a carefully written specification.
 Rollers:
4 Nos. bi-directional type roller shall be provided to the
transformers on cross channels to facilitate the
movement of transformers in both the directions.
 Temperature Indicator:
Winding temperature indicator with contacts
for operating trip circuits as well as for alarm
shall be provided. Also suitable thermistors
or RTD sensors shall be provided in all three
windings.
 Diagram and rating plate:
One diagram and rating plate indicating the
details of transformer, connecting diagram
vector group, tap changing diagram etc. shall
be provided.
 Cast resin
Class of Insulation: Type H.
This resin system is ideal for transformers in
meeting the following requirements
Low moisture absorption
High dielectric strength
High bond strength
Excellent mechanical properties
Stability at high temperatures
Excellent thermal shock properties
Longevity of life at maximum transformer
temperatures
 DETERMINE (IP20) OR ENCLOSURE
The transformer must always be installed in a metal
enclosure, inside a cage or in a room with doors
enabling access only when the transformer is de-
energized.
inside this electrical enclosure the transformer has to
be positioned complying with minimal insulation
distance from the walls. they are related to the
insulation class shown in the rating plat
 Enclosures
Dry-type transformers come in enclosures
that have louvers or are sealed. Here,
subcategories include different methods of
insulation such as conventional varnish,
vacuum pressure impregnated (VPI) varnish,
epoxy resin, or cast resin insulation systems.
Steel enclosure with screens of metal at top
and bottom for indoor type transformer and
ventilation required from the top.
 Painting:
The interior of transformer enclosure and
internal structural steel work shall be painted
with heat resistant insulating varnish after
thorough cleaning of all scales and dust.

present on the LV side whereby C
 DETERMINE LIFTING ROLE
Lifting the transformer
Do not leave the transformer elevated for prolonged periods.
Move the transformer only in vertical position.
Lift the transformer avoiding improper lifting (that may cause it to tip
over): be careful about the high centre of gravity
of the transformer.
It is prohibited to lift the transformer by inserting the forks of the forklift in
the upper part of the core.
Use all 4 eye bolts during lifting. Do not allow that the angle between the
ropes to exceed 60.
Gradually increase the tension on the lifting cables to avoid sudden shock
or stress to the transformer.
If the transformer is supplied with an enclosure, remove the top window
for the attachment of the ropes.

 RECOMMENDED TORQUE VALUES
Below are recommended torque values for the
different types of
Bolted connections found on dry-type
transformers. All electrical connections
should be checked prior to the energization
of
a unit.
