8 Important Checks To Do Before Powering Up The Dry-Type Transformer (on photo: TRIHAL transformer by Schneider Electric)
8 Obligatory Checks
The transformer should be powered up only after checking the following 8 items:
Make sure all connections to cables or bus bars are properly connected and well positioned.
ONLY after these checks are made, the transformer can be connected to the system. Voltage shall be applied while the transformer is set to no load, and such voltage shall be measured at the secondary winding to check for the corresponding output ratings. Operations
under voltages other than the rated one can cause saturation significant loss increase, which could lead to over-heating and noise above the standard levels.
Warning! If the transformer is set to an improper tap, noises above the standard levels are to
be expected. The load should be applied progressively until the rated power .
