Rod, Tube or flat) to withstand the mechanical stress due to electrical short circuit. ‘@ Secondary Winding : This is torroidal winding. The core (either of High quality Silicon steel or of Mu-Metal) is wound in a ring form. The secondary winding of enamelled copper wire is uniformly distributed over the circumference of the core. The Uniform distribution minimises the reactance of the secondary winding and in tur helps the accurate transformation of primary current to secondary side. The relevant leads of the secondary winding are brought to terminal block through the Aluminium tube. ‘@ Insulation : Major insulation between primary and secondary winding and that between winding to earth is of high quality Insulation kraft paper. The complete assembled CT is dried and filled with specific quantity of oil under vacuum. The drying and oil fling is carried out in specially designed autoclaves. The insulation on the tube thru' which secondary leads are passed, Is with condenser grading. This helps in achieving optimum and consistent impulse withstand capability. '@ Porcelain Insulator : Hollow porcelain insulator serves two purposes |. e. it insulates H. V. side from base and also it houses the insulated tube carrying secondary leads. Cast aluminium alloy flanges are cemented at both the ends of insulator; providing adequate mechanical strength. ‘@ Hermetic Sealing : The oil filled metallic Bellows compensates for the oil volume variation due to ambient changes .The CT is hermatically sealed by using these bellows. Due to this, the insulating characteristics of the dielectric will be maintained during the operation.1.3 Terminal Details : Primary Terminals : Normally the terminals are of types shown in fig. 2, 3, 4 & 5.

Ensure that VA values given on the rating plate are adhered to.ean SCR NUCHily iv) vy) “The CT secondary winding, if left open circuited, will lead to CT explosion; hence secondary windings not in use should be short circuited." Primary Connections : Before starting with primary connections, please ensure that - @ The base is correctly mounted on the structure. @ Earthing is correctly done as stated above and @ Secondary connections are in position as explained earlier. Now connect main H. V. line to primary terminals P1-P2 (Item 4 fig. 1) while doing H. V. connections please ensure - Pull on primary terminals does not exceed limits specified in relevant IEC standards. In order to avoid contact corrosion do not connect aluminium terminals with Copper cables/tubes directly. Use weather resistant protective ‘coating in transition region. (we recommend GTZ 8785 of Dowells.) As screw/bolts shall be used with correct washers in order to ensure the clamping pressure. The connections must be mechanically firm. The connections shall be checked and if required tightened during first few weeks of operations. Also the connections to be checked after exposure of the transformer to mechancial force resulting from a rope strike, storm or earthquake. Periodic plan for this shall be prepared.4.0 COMMISSIONING 41 Pre - Commissioning checks : Check the following points before charging the CT and tick-mark in column B after having completed the check. Table No. 1: Sr. No. A B 1 Tightness of all Secondary connections. Qa 3 Porcelain insulator is clean. Qa 3 Base structure is firmly earthed.

Hence observe this level at the intervals stated in Table No. 1 and interpret the health as per Table No. 2 Table No. 2 ‘Sr. Bellows Position Results & Measures No to be taken 1 |AIlCTs in the same substation | CTs are OK have approximately same bellows position 2 | At approximately 20+ the bellows] CTs are OK. position is approximately halfway between min. & max. position. ‘Inform CGL immediately. 3 Extremely different bellows — Observe CT continuously position in one of the identical + _ Itmight become necessary CTs in the same substation. to switch off the CT Check the CT for leakage. 4 | Bellows at minimum position. \ Inform CGL. * The CT is no longer 5 _ | Bellows position is independent hermetically sealed. of the temperature. «Bellows is jammed «Inform CGL. * Pressure in the CT due to 6 | Bellows exceeds the maximum gas generated by partial permitted limit "MAX" discharges or excessive temperature rise. «Disconnect CT immediately. «Inform CGL. 145.3 5.3.1 2) n Delta" of CT : This measurement is to be done on CT in position but disconnected electrically from the transmission line. The procedure for such measurement is as below. Procedure Disconnect CT primary terminals from transmission line. Disconnect Cx terminal in secondary box from earth. Tan Delta measurement is to be conducted between primary terminal P1 and Cx terminal provided in secondary box. Use a separate power source which can develop between 2KV to 20kV voltage. Use portable capacitance & tan delta test set. Do connections as recommended by the manufacturer of capacitance & tan delta test set. Measure capacitance & tan delta by applying a voltage more than 2 kV & less than 10 kV. (Tan delta measurements at a voltage below 2 KV are not accurate.) Disconnect CT from tan delta test set & source & reconnect primary in the transmission line & Cx must be earthed. (Caution - During normal operations always ensure that Cx is firmly connected to earth.) Capacitance & tan delta measurements at site are most sensitive & can also be affected by the atmospheric conditions & electrical environment are carried out under dry atmospheric conditions. We recommend the CT to be tested for tan delta before commissioning and the value obtained shall be considered as a reference value for further monitoring during service. Tan delta should be 0.005 before commissioning.3) 4) 5.4.4 5.4.2 CT is to be tested for tan delta after 10 years. Limiting value of tan delta is 0.010. In case tan delta exceeds this value, contact CGL factory. CT is tested at factory for capacitance & tan delta under controlled conditions & to the test voltages specified in standards. Dissolved Gas Analysis of Oil The oil sample from CT is to be collected at the frequency mentioned in Table No. 1. The complete procedure for testing of samples is as below. Taking out oil sample from CT : il sampling valve is provided on base structure. Break the sealing wire and remove the steel plug from oll sampling valve. Use oil sampling device to take out sample from CT. (Approximately 250 cc of oll is required for this test in complete.) Utmost cleanliness is essential when taking out oil sample as the test result can also be affected by atmospheric conditions & electrical environment at site. Replace the sampled oil quantity with a freshly filtered new oil of BDV higher than 60 kV. (The oil used in the CT is Napthene based uninhibited mineral oil, hence it is recommended to use oil of same quality.) Di G is of OS i We recommend DGA of oil sample done after every five years of service period. The limits to be used for analysis shall be as specified in "Reliability, Surveillance & Maintenance of High Voltage Insulations in Power Systems" State of Technique Report of Study Committee 15, published by CIGRE Study Committee 15 in 1991. 16G Smart solutions.
