    High Voltage Circuit Breaker Factory Acceptance Tests and Inspections

    Thank you for the reminding. Yes, please exclude the OCB, SF6 only.

    High Voltage Circuit Breaker Factory Acceptance Tests and Inspections

    Thank for all responses. Breakers I am discussing here are 100kV-230kV, OCB or SF6 insulation type...Thanks

    High Voltage Circuit Breaker Factory Acceptance Tests and Inspections

    Hello, We are quite familiar with the transformer factory acceptance tests, but know very little about high voltage circuit breaker's. Anyone can provide such information? If you have the source document, that will be really good.

    Replacement cost of a transformer conservator bladder

    THank you smallgreek. We are the utility co in the US. We have the tank trucks that can handle large amount of oil. Yes our crew are in union. We plan to do it in the summer, which typically is around 75-80F. It's not a GSU, but a quite critical transformer. We are the winter peak, so the...

    Replacement cost of a transformer conservator bladder

    One of our 1966 ASEA, 75MVA transformer has a damaged conservator bladder. If you have the experience about the transformer conservator bladder replacement, could you share with me what is the ballpark cost of such replacement? Thanks

    How to define "Fully Loaded Substation", & "Fully Loaded Tran

    IS based on nameplate rating, or based on the IEEE 57.91?

    How to remove the power transformer thermal trip function?

    Is there a switch inside the mechanical gauge that can turn the thermal trip "off"?

    How to remove the power transformer thermal trip function?

    Hi Scott, The trips were always caused by wrong setting or the mel-function of the old mechanical gauges. So we decide to remove the automatice thermal trip function, replace with manual trip. Normally, industry wide, the thermal trip is set at 140C, but we were seldom to load the transfomrer...

    How to remove the power transformer thermal trip function?

    DO you disconnect at the end of Hot Spot Winding temmperature gauge, or at the relay end? Is the transformer outage required? Thanks

    What's the definition of "Transformer Bank"?

    In my company, all Bank # = Transformer # = Unit #, except one pair (which have same Bank # but different Transformer #).

    Consequence of Leak from main transformer tank to DETC Compartment

    prc, You're right. I was wondering why it's called Tap Selector Compartment, not "OLTC" compartment.

    Consequence of Leak from main transformer tank to DETC Compartment

    This is a 1956 transformer. I thought OLTC was for much newer transformers.

    Consequence of Leak from main transformer tank to DETC Compartment

    Thank you Steven, Yes you're right, the "On Load Tap Changer" is on the X side. It's my mis-understanding to identify it as the DETC. So we may put in this way? - The compartment of OLTC is much less sealed. There is no much acr generated in that compartment (not much comtamination), since...

    Consequence of Leak from main transformer tank to DETC Compartment

    I attach the picture. The compartment is called: Load Ratio Control Mechanism - Tap selector Compartment. THe Liquid Lvl Gauge is for this compartment.

    Consequence of Leak from main transformer tank to DETC Compartment

    Yes it is. And it's with a liquid level gauge (always pointed to the max). SInce DETC is in the main tank for some models, does this indicate it will be ok if liquid leaks from main tank to the DETC compartment?

    Consequence of Leak from main transformer tank to DETC Compartment

    The leak has been lasted for many years. And the DGA result shows normal.

    Consequence of Leak from main transformer tank to DETC Compartment

    I am sorry, I made the typo, it's DETC, not LTC compartment.
