Pre-Installation Preparation Precautions for 80 kVA Dry-Type Transformer (Indoor)
Adequate pre-installation preparation is the foundation of standardized indoor installation for the 80 kVA Dry-Type Transformer, and all checks and preparations must be completed before unpacking and installation to avoid construction delays and installation errors:
- Installation Space & Environment Check: Ensure the indoor installation area (power room/ distribution cabinet) has a minimum space of 1.5m×1.2m (L×W) with a 0.8m maintenance channel reserved on all sides; the space must be dry (relative humidity ≤70%), well-ventilated and free of direct sunlight, corrosive gas and heavy dust (install a dustproof net if in a semi-dusty workshop).
- Foundation & Load-Bearing Check: The indoor installation foundation (concrete platform/ metal rack) must have a load-bearing capacity of ≥500kg to bear the weight of the 80 kVA Dry-Type Transformer (≈450kg); the foundation must be level (deviation ≤±2mm) and equipped with anti-vibration rubber pads to reduce operation vibration and noise.
- Product & Accessory Unpacking Check: Unpack the transformer in a clean indoor environment and check the integrity of the core body, windings and insulation parts; verify all standard accessories (fixing bolts, grounding terminals, wiring lugs) are complete, and confirm the product nameplate parameters match the indoor power supply design requirements.
- Power Grid & Auxiliary Equipment Check: Check the indoor high/low-voltage distribution lines, circuit breakers and protection devices are matched with the transformer's rated parameters (10kV/6kV input, 0.4kV output); prepare dedicated grounding wires (≥35mm² copper cable) and insulation tools for installation.
Key On-Site Installation Precautions for 80 kVA Dry-Type Transformer (Indoor)
The on-site installation process directly determines the operation safety and stability of the 80 kVA Dry-Type Transformer in indoor scenarios, and every step must follow electrical installation standards with no random operation allowed:
Fixed Installation Precautions: Use the original fixing bolts to secure the transformer on the leveled foundation/rack; the fixing force must be uniform to avoid structural deformation of the transformer casing; the anti-vibration rubber pads must be fully attached to the bottom of the transformer and the foundation to eliminate vibration transmission.
Wiring Connection Precautions: Connect the high/low-voltage wiring terminals in strict accordance with the phase sequence (A/B/C) marked on the transformer; the wiring lugs must be crimped and tightened firmly to avoid poor contact and heating; the wiring distance must meet the indoor electrical safety standard (≥100mm for low-voltage, ≥300mm for high-voltage), and the wires must be fixed with cable clamps to avoid shaking.
Grounding System Precautions: The transformer's casing and core must be connected to the dedicated indoor grounding grid with a double grounding method; the grounding resistance must be ≤4Ω to ensure timely leakage discharge and avoid electric shock hazards; the grounding terminal must be painted with anti-rust paint after connection to ensure long-term grounding effectiveness.
Protection & Insulation Precautions: Install a dedicated protective cover for the transformer's exposed wiring terminals (especially in public indoor areas such as commercial buildings); wrap the connection parts with insulating tape of F/H class to enhance insulation performance; avoid placing any metal objects or flammable materials around the transformer within 1m.
Post-Installation Commissioning & Daily Protection Precautions (Indoor)
Installation is not complete without strict commissioning and protective measures, which are critical for the initial operation and long-term maintenance of the 80 kVA Dry-Type Transformer in indoor closed environments:
- No-Load Commissioning Check: Conduct a 30-minute no-load test after installation-power on the transformer and check the operation noise (≤50dB), no abnormal buzzing or crackling sound; verify the output voltage is stable (0.4kV±1%) and the phase sequence is correct, with no overheating of the wiring terminals.
- Indoor Ventilation & Temperature Control: Ensure the indoor installation area has natural ventilation or exhaust fans (air volume ≥500m³/h) to keep the ambient temperature ≤40℃; avoid installing the transformer near high-temperature equipment (e.g., air conditioners, heating radiators) to prevent overheating caused by poor heat dissipation.
- Daily Inspection & Dustproof Protection: Install a detachable dustproof cover for the transformer in indoor dusty environments (e.g., hardware workshops); conduct weekly visual inspections to check the wiring terminals for loosening and the insulation parts for yellowing or damage; clean the transformer surface and heat dissipation ports with a dry soft cloth regularly to avoid dust accumulation.
- Fault Protection & Alarm Check: Ensure the indoor overcurrent, short-circuit and over-temperature protection devices are connected and set correctly; the protection parameters must match the transformer's overload capacity (120% rated load for 2h) to realize automatic power cut and alarm in case of faults, avoiding fault expansion.
