9- Transportation, Storage, Installation and commissioning

It is essential that the transport, storage, installation and commissioning of current transformer be
performed in accordance with instructions given by the manufacturer.
The instructions for the transport and storage should by given before delivery.
The instructions for the installation and commissioning should be given by the time of delivery at the
latest.

9.1- Transportation
If current transformer not designed for horizontal transportation it shall be transported vertically. In this
case maximum allowable deviation angle shall be 60 degree.
If current transformer which shall be transported vertically, placed horizontally, it shall not be energized,
because nitrogen gas exists on top of expansion chamber, may be reached active part region of
transformer and in this situation, with energizing current transformer danger of explosion of CT exists.
 13 Transportation, Storage, Installation and Commissioning

9.2- Storage
Current transformer can be stored in a covered or open air condition according to manufacturer
instructions. If current transformers are stored in open air, at least they shall be covered with plastic
tissues. These plastic tissues shall not be put directly on galvanized surfaces and an air channel shall be
mounted to prevent any infiltration of water.
Storage is called to a place that:
- It has a ceiling
- Its floor is firm and uniform.
- Air humidity shall be less than 50%
- Air temperature 20 ± 10 C°

To prevent water from reaching the current transformer, it shall be stored in an elevation upper than floor
level. To prevent any corrosion caused by the infiltration of water, the plastic cover shall be removed (not
for spare parts).
After receiving of each current transformer the following items shall be checked:
- Current transformer delivery is according to order documents.
- There is no damage or shortage in the delivered current transformer
If there is any damage, all damages shall be photographed. These shall be reported. Storage of a current
transformer in moist and not well ventilated air may cause the change of color of galvanized surfaces.
This change of color is generally named white corrosion and is not a reason for rejecting the goods.
All parts shall be stored in away are always accessible. The surrounding ambient of current transformer
shall be clean of any dust, smoke, flammable or corrosive gasses, steam or salt. In this condition, the
storage shall be cleaned before storing process.
Spare parts shall be kept in their original boxes and stored in storage. This is specially important for
plastic parts (for water proofing and etc). These parts shall be kept away from sunlight to prevent them
drying. Spacer washers can be stored for just a short time in the storage.

In the case of tank type transformer, Because of center of gravity is placed on bottom and transformer
has a relatively high weight, additional equipments for tightening transformer to the floor is not required.
 Technical Specifications of Current Transformers 14

9.3- Checking and erection

Current transformers must be checked carefully after to be carried to destination. Insulators must be
checked for external damages.
Transformer case must be checked for non existence of oil, specially on the insulator- to- expansion
chamber connection part and on oil chamber.
During unpacking CTs, cotton string must be used. For transformers lifted horizontally this cotton string
must be tied with top section of insulator. For transformers lifted vertically, this cotton string must be tied
with lugs placed in the bottom of transformer.
For lifting transformer, chains must not be used.

9-3-1- Erection stages

1. Before erection, in situation which transformer placed in vertical position, oil level shall be checked.
2. After ensuring of non-oil leakage and non-damaging of transformer due to lifting, transformer placed
on related structure vertically. Tightening transformer in unbalance situation could lead to oil leakage.
By using some metal sheets, it could be possible to perform corrections for balancing the transformer.
3. Secondary terminal connections must be performed carefully. Every secondary winding must be
earthed from one-end. Secondary windings not to be used, must be short circuited and earthed. If one
tap of secondary is used, its not required to short circuit other taps.
4. Primary connection shall be performed in such a way that mechanical static load on primary terminal
is minimized. It shall be possible with a flexible connector. A non-flexible connection could lead to
oil leakage in primary terminals.
5. For connecting primary terminal of CT to other equipments, at first conductor shall be connected to
other side and after that it could be connected to primary terminal of CT. This procedure performed
for avoiding of applying a non-allowable bending moment to primary terminal.
When it's specified for connecting conductor to primary terminal at first, firstly connecting bolts shall
be tightened completely and secondly, until one end of conductor placed on the other side, conductor
shall be kept from bottom by a base or from top by a rope.
If a height difference exists between primary terminal of CT and equipments which shall be
connected, it's essential for conductor having appropriate bending, this deformation shall be
performed on the conductor before installation. After connecting conductor to primary terminal,
applying force to deform the conductor is not allowable.
 15 Transportation, Storage, Installation and Commissioning

6. Ground terminal of CT shall be earthed. Capacitive terminal which come through a bushing from oil
chamber If not to be used shall be connected to oil chamber case.

9.4. Commissioning
After a current transformer has been installed and all connections have been completed, commissioning
tests are recommended to be performed to confirm that transportation and storage have not damaged the
current transformer.
The manufacturer shall produce a program of site commissioning checks and tests. Repetition of the full
program of routing tests, already performed in the factory, shall be avoided as the purpose of
commissioning tests is for confirmation of
- Existence of no damage
- Compatibility of separate units
- Correct assembly
- Correct performance of the assembled current transformer.
For this purpose the commissioning tests shall include, but not limited to the following items:

- Measurement of insulating resistance with 5000 V MEGGER

- Polarity test
- Measurement of secondary winding resistance
- Measurement of secondary circuit burden
- Magnetic characteristics test
- Measurement of turn ratio
The results of the tests shall be recorded in a test report.
