25.4.2. Check for proper packing and preservation of accessories like radiators,
bushings, dehydrating breather, rollers, buchholz relay, fans, control cubicle,
connecting pipes, conservator etc.
Each transformer when prepared for shipment shall be fitted with a shock indicator
or recorder, which shall remain in situ until the transformer is delivered to Site. In
the event that the transformer is found to have been subjected to excessive shock in
transit, such examination as is necessary shall be made in the presence of KSEBL.
Where practicable, transformers shall be shipped with oil filled to cover core and
windings but when shipped under pressure of gas shall be fitted for the duration of
delivery to Site and for such time thereafter as is necessary, with a gauge and gas
cylinder.
25.4.3. Check for proper provision for bracing to arrest the movement of core and winding
assembly inside the tank.
25.4.4. Gas tightness test to confirm tightness and record of dew point of gas inside the
tank. Derivation of leakage rate and ensure the adequate reserve gas capacity.
The Contractor shall provide a detailed inspection and testing program for field
activities covering areas right from the receipt of material stage up to
commissioning stage. An indicative program of inspection as envisaged by the
KSEBL is given below. However, it is contractor's responsibility to draw up and
carry out such a program duly approved by the KSEBL. The program chart
including site inspection /testing shall be submitted for approval from KSEBL.
25.6.1. Check and record condition of each package, visible parts of the transformer etc. for any
Damage.
1. Check and record the gas pressure in the transformer tank as well as in the gas cylinder.
1. Visual check for wedging of core and coils before filling up with oil and also check
conditions of core and winding in general.
1. Check and record reading of impact recorder at receipt and verify the allowable limits
agreed during engineering.
2. Installation Checks
1. Inspection and performance testing of accessories like tap changers, cooling fans,
etc.
2. Check the direction of rotation of fans and pumps and Check the bearing
lubrication.
7. Measure and record the dew point of gas in the main tank before assembly.
8. Commissioning Checks
2. Check the oil level in the breather housing, conservator tanks, cooling system,
condenser bushing etc.

5. Check for the adequate protection on the electric circuit supplying the accessories.
6. Check resistance of all windings on all steps of the tap changer. Insulation
resistance measurement for the following:
i) Control wiring
ii) Cooling system motor and control
iii) Main windings
iv) Tap changer motor and control
2. DGA of oil just before commissioning and after 24 hours energisation at site.
