Maintenance Cycle Daily Maintenance: Daily inspection of dry-type transformers. Minor Repair Cycle: Eliminate defects found during equipment operation. Major Overhaul Cycle: Annual major overhaul. V. Maintenance Items


1. Routine Maintenance Items:


(1) Observe that the voltage on the high-voltage side of the transformer is 10±5% KV, the current does not exceed the rated current value, and the three-phase current imbalance does not exceed ±5%.


(2) Observe that there are no signs of local overheating in any part of the transformer, and the temperature controller shows that the transformer temperature does not exceed 80℃. Under balanced three-phase load conditions, the three-phase temperatures should not differ significantly (usually phase B is slightly higher, with a difference of no more than 10℃ from the other two phases).


(3) Pay attention to the sound of the transformer during operation. When the transformer is running normally, there is generally a uniform "humming" electromagnetic sound. The sound should not be too loud, and there should be no abnormal noise.


(4) Check that the transformer is fixed stably and firmly, without tilting, local deformation, or vibration, and that all bolts are secure.


(5) Check that the transformer casing is intact, all connections are secure, and the casing is not damaged.


(6) Check that the transformer environment is clean, free of water accumulation and items that may hinder safe operation.


(7) The transformer must have good ventilation. (8) Check the dry-type transformer fan for severe vibration, abnormal noise, or failure to rotate.


(10) When the transformer temperature exceeds 80℃, confirm the fan is running. If the temperature gradually rises after the fan starts, check the load size and three-phase balance, and take appropriate emergency measures.


(11) In case of drastic weather changes, conduct special inspections on the indoor transformer:


a. After thunderstorms: Check for discharge sounds and traces in all parts.


b. In extremely cold or hot weather: Check the temperature change of the transformer body.


(12) Under overload conditions, check the transformer every half hour and record the overload value, time, temperature, etc., in the operation logbook.


(13) All inspection items should be recorded in detail, and defects should be eliminated promptly.


2. Minor Repair Items:


(1) Check that the transformer grounding device is intact; observe that the transformer lead wire position is normal, the support is firm, and the lead wire insulation is good.


(3) Check the wiring and tighten any loose bolts. (4) Inspect the ventilation and heat dissipation system and clean the dust.


(5) Repair the deformed transformer casing and nameplate.


(6) Inspect the neutral point grounding system and tighten loose bolts.


(7) Tighten the fixing bolts of the voltage regulating connecting plate.


3. Overhaul Items:


(1) Transformer dust removal.


(2) Inspect the iron core.


(3) Inspect the coils.


(4) Inspect the insulators.


(5) Inspect the incoming and outgoing leads.


(6) Inspect all insulating components, fasteners, and connectors.


(7) Transformer high-temperature protection test.


(8) Preventive test of dry-type transformer.


(9) Inspect the ventilation and heat dissipation system.


VI. Overhaul Process and Quality Standards


Item Overhaul Process Quality Standard


1 Transformer Dust Removal Clean the transformer iron core, coil gaps, and fan dust with compressed air. Surface free of dust and impurities


2. Inspect the Iron Core


a) Check if the iron core is flat, if the insulating varnish has peeled off, and the tightness of the laminations.


b) Check the tightness of the upper and lower clamps, square iron, and pressure plates of the iron core, and tighten each bolt of the clamps, square iron, and pressure plates with a wrench.


c) Measure the insulation resistance of the iron core to the clamps and ground using a 2500V insulation resistance meter.


d) Tighten the through bolts of the upper and lower iron cores with a special wrench and measure the insulation resistance of the through bolts to the iron core and ground using a 2500V insulation resistance meter.


a) The iron core should be flat, with no peeling of the insulating varnish, and the laminations should be tightly stacked. The silicon steel sheets on the sides should not be warped or wavy. All surfaces of the iron core should be free of dust and impurities, and free of rust and corrosion. There should be no short circuits or overlaps between the laminations, and the joint gaps should meet the requirements.


b) Bolts are tightened securely; the positive and negative pressure pins and locking nuts on the clamps are not loose, and there is good contact with the insulating washers without any signs of discharge burns.


c) The insulation resistance of the core to the clamps and ground is ≥5MΩ.


d) The through bolts are tightened securely; the insulation resistance of the through bolts to the core and ground is ≥5MΩ.


3. Coil Inspection


a) Check the coil deformation and insulation for integrity.


b) Check the air duct between the high-voltage and low-voltage coils.
