Vacuum Oil & HYOSUNG Operation § & Maintenance Processing Procedures Section 5 Vacuum Oil Processing Procedures Quality Issues: ‘* Processing, dry-out and oil impregnation are all affected by temperature. Follow the appropriate procedures for the specific ambient temperature conditions during installation ‘+ The transformer cover and walls will flex inward when the transformer is under full vacuum. All cable and bus connections to the top of bushings must be disconnected to ensure that they are not damaged from the movement they will experience. + No workers may stand on the transformer cover when the transformer is under vacuum. + No electrical tests may be performed while the transformer is under vacuum ‘+ Failure to observe the stand time requirement may cause incomplete insulation impregnation, leading to transformer failure upon energization Equipment Required: ‘* Processing trailer with hoses, fittings, filters, vacuum chamber and sufficiently rated heaters. © Vacuum pumps should have a minimum 4300 liter/minute and must be capable of attaining a 0.1 Tort blank-off vacuum pressure. © Connections from the pump to the transformer tank must be as short as possible and a diameter of three inches. There should be no low spots in the vacuum line in which oil or water can collect, The vacuum system (pumps and hoses) must be capable of attaining a blank off pressure of 0.1 Torr or less. + Vacuumvpressure gauge © The pressure in the tank during vacuum operations must be measured through a connection to the top section to the section of the tank above the oil level. Do not take pressure measurements at locations other than the tank itself. We recommend measuring the pressure in the tank with a properly calibrated aneroid gauge or manometer. + Hi-Pot Oil Test Set (ASTM 877 or ASTM 1816) Copyright - 2018 NANTONG HYOSUNG All rights reserved.
