Product Uses

Pad-mounted transformers are ground-level, enclosed electrical transformers commonly used in urban and suburban power distribution systems. Their key applications include:

  1. Underground Power Distribution Networks
    Widely deployed in areas with underground cables (e.g., residential neighborhoods, commercial districts) to step down medium voltage (e.g., 15–35 kV) to low voltage (120/240V or 480V) for end users.
  2. Commercial & Industrial Facilities
    Provide localized power transformation for shopping malls, office buildings, factories, and data centers where aesthetics, safety, and space efficiency are priorities.
  3. Residential Subdivisions
    Serve as distribution nodes in housing developments, ensuring safe and reliable power delivery while minimizing visual and noise impact.
  4. Renewable Energy Integration
    Used in solar/wind farms to step up or down voltage before feeding into the grid or supplying nearby communities.
  5. Public Infrastructure
    Support hospitals, schools, airports, and street lighting systems by integrating seamlessly into urban landscapes.
  6. Temporary Power Supply
    Deployed for construction sites or emergency power restoration due to their modularity and quick installation.
Product Operate Guide

1. Shipment, Handling, Rigging & Storage

  • Inspect the transformer for shipping damage upon arrival. Report any issues to the carrier immediately.
  • Use only designated lifting lugs and appropriate rigging equipment rated for the transformer’s weight. Never lift by bushings or radiators.
  • Store the transformer upright on a level, dry surface. Protect from weather and flooding. For long-term storage, seal all openings and monitor silica gel breathers.

2. Transformer Installation

  • Crane Lifting & Rigging: Attach slings to marked lifting points. Use spreader bars if needed to avoid tank deformation.
  • Jack & Skid: For short moves, use jacks and skids under the base. Move slowly and avoid sudden movements.
  • Foundation: Place transformer on a flat, solid, non-combustible pad with proper drainage. Anchor as required by local codes.
  • Compartment: Ensure HV and LV compartments are accessible and free of debris. Check gasket seals for integrity.
  • Grounding: Connect tank and neutral points to a reliable earth ground per IEEE/NEC standards.
  • High Voltage & Low Voltage Connections: Clean and torque all cable terminations to manufacturer’s specifications. Use proper lugs and insulation.
  • Dielectric Fluid: Check oil level and top up with approved fluid if necessary. Sample oil for moisture and dielectric strength if required.
  • Transformer Pressure: Verify pressure relief device is operational. Check for correct internal pressure or vacuum as specified.
  • Other Aspects: Install required signage and barriers. Confirm all accessories are installed and functional.

3. Pre-Energization

  • Perform insulation resistance and turns ratio tests. Confirm all connections are tight and correct.
  • Verify tap changer is set to the correct position.
  • Check oil level, absence of leaks, and operation of gauges and alarms.

4. Post-Energization

  • Monitor for abnormal noise, vibration, or temperature rise.
  • Check for oil leaks and monitor gauges for pressure and temperature.
  • Record initial load and voltage readings.

5. Switching Operation

  • Operate switches only under no-load conditions unless rated for load-break.
  • Follow lockout/tagout procedures before maintenance.
  • Use insulated tools and wear appropriate PPE.

6. Protection

  • Ensure fuses, surge arresters, and relays are installed and rated correctly.
  • Test protection devices per manufacturer’s recommendations.

7. Accessories

  • Check operation of temperature gauges, pressure relief devices, oil level indicators, and gas relays.
  • Maintain and calibrate accessories as required.

8. Maintenance

  • Perform periodic inspections for leaks, corrosion, and proper operation of all devices.
  • Sample and test dielectric fluid annually or as recommended.
  • Clean bushings and compartments regularly.

9. Field Acceptance Test Guidelines

  • Conduct insulation resistance, turns ratio, and winding resistance tests before energization.
  • Compare results with factory test reports and standards (e.g., IEEE C57.12).
  • Document all test results for future reference.

10. Tables and Procedures

  • Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for torque values, oil specifications, and test limits.
  • Maintain a log of all inspections, tests, and maintenance activities.
  • Follow standard operating procedures for all field operations.
