 WHAT IS A TRANSFORMER?
• TRANSFORMER IS A STATIC
DEVICE WHICH
TRANSFORMS A.C.
ELECTRICAL POWER FROM
ONE VOLTAGE TO
ANOTHER VOLTAGE
KEEPING THE FREQUENCY
SAME BY
ELECTROMAGNETIC
INDUCTION.
PARTS OF TRANSFORMER
• MAIN TANK
• RADIATORS
• CONSERVATOR
• EXPLOSION VENT
• LIFTING LUGS
• AIR RELEASE PLUG
• OIL LEVEL INDICATOR
• TAP CHANGER
• WHEELS
• HV/LV BUSHINGS
• FILTER VALVES
• OIL FILLING PLUG
• DRAIN PLUG
• CABLE BOX
 REASONS OF FAILURE AND
REMEDIAL MEASURES
• CAUSE : OVERLOADING

• ITS REMEDIAL MEASURES :

• 1. Maintaining proper record of the total no. of
consumers along with connected load.
• 2. Maintaining proper record on loading of xmer.
• 3. DTR Metering
• 4. Augmentation / Addl DTR
• 5. Disconnection of illegal connections
 CONTD.
• CAUSE : IMBALANCE LOADING

• ITS REMEDIAL MEASURES :

• Maintaining the record of the phase wise loading
and regular load balance accordingly.
• Service connection to be given from the
appropriate phase(s) only after taking proper
shutdown .
• Phase conversion
 CONTD.
• CAUSE : POOR EARTHING OR ABSENCE OF
EARTHING

• ITS REMEDIAL MEASURES:

• Periodical checking of the soil resistivity .
Renovation of earth pit or making a new earth pit
• Periodical checking of earth connections of earth
connections . Tightening of the terminal
connections
• Watering earth pit in the dry season
 CONTD.
• CAUSE : EXTERNAL SHORT CIRCUIT

• ITS REMEDIAL MEASURES :

• Place spacers where necessary and maintain
safety clearance between conductors
• Maintain sag of conductors as per standard
• Cleaning of bushings
• Regular jungle clearing

 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
1. Sludge, dust, dirt ,moisture can be removed by
filtration.
2. Oil when topped up shall be of the same make. It
may lead to sludge formation and acidic contents.
• Insulation resistance of the transformer should be
checked once in 6 months.
• Megger values along with oil values indicate the
condition of transformer.
• Periodic Dissolved Gas Analysis can be carried
out.
 MAINTENANCE
• Periodic checking of any loose connections of the
terminations of HV & LV side.
• Breather examination. Dehydration of Silica gel if
necessary.
• Explosion vent diaphragm examination.
• Conservator to be cleaned from inside after every
three years.
• Checking of cable / DO fuse / LA / SECONDARY
PROTECTION
• Earthing
• Cleanliness in the Substation yard with all nets,
vines, shrubs removed.

Advantages of over head
Electric system

2 7
 Why do we need change ?
Uninterrupted power supply is needed in modern days.
Less space available for overhead line erection.
To avoid outages  during high wind thunderstorms or heavy
snow or ice storms
Clearance form buildings in narrow streets.
Obstruction to transportation.
Shifting needed during Road widening/Bridge construction/
Building construction.
Ground clearance becomes lesser when road height up comes.

 Advantages of Under Ground Electric system-

1. Supply reliability increases.

2. Underground cables pose no hazard to low flying aircraft or to wildlife.
3. Much less subject to conductor theft, illegal connections, sabotage, and
damage from armed conflict.
4.Burying utility lines makes room for more large trees on sidewalks, which
convey environmental benefits and increase property values
5.Less subject to damage from severe weather conditions (mainly lightning,
wind and freezing)
6.Reduced range of electromagnetic fields (EMF) emission, into the
surrounding area. However depending on the depth of the underground cable,
greater emf may be experienced.
7. Underground cables pose no hazard to low flying aircraft or to wildlife

Disadvantages of Underground electric system-
1. Undergrounding is more expensive parallel
standby arrangement is required.
2. High cost of maintenance.
3. Difficult breakdown maintenance finding and
repairing overhead wire breaks can be
accomplished in hours, underground repairs can
take days or weeks
Underground cable locations are not always
obvious, which can lead to unwary diggers
damaging cables or being electrocuted.
4. Dry weather required for cable jointing.

 We Can Classify the Accidents as given below
so far as work on lines is concerned
• Accidents that occur due to falling of poles while
stringing of conductor, during erection of poles in
non-aligned condition.
• Due to non use of proper stay or due to lack of
proper earthing, the charging of line may lead to
accident to persons or animals.
• Due to lack of provision of guarding at Road-crossing
points and crossing of H.T./ L.T. lines may result in
accident.
• The line coming to AB Switch or D.O. fuse is not
connected at proper place and in a proper way.
• Accident may occur when service connection is not
provided properly as per standard practice.
 WAY OF AVOIDING
ACCIDENTS
General Responsibilities of Supervisory
• staff
Danger signs or barriers as may be necessary may
be displayed to warn the public and others of the
danger zones and to prevent them from entering the
same, before taking the work in hand.

• Defective tools, materials and working methods are

not employed.

• There is co-operation and co-ordination between the

operation and maintenance staff.
 WAY OF AVOIDING
ACCIDENTS
General Responsibilities of Supervisory
• staff of the workmen remain
Person in immediate charge
on work site till the work is over and normal
conditions are restored.

• All employees of the working party are trained in

first-aid and use of fire fighting equipment.

• various safety devices, first aid kits, fire

extinguishing equipment are maintained in
serviceable conditions and the workmen are made
aware of the location of the same. 
 SAFETY OF EQUIPMENT
SUB-STATION PANELS:

• The regular maintenance of relay and control panels

should be carried out.

• Care should be taken to avoid loose connection,

unnecessary openings to panel.

• The vermin proofing should be done.

• The Earthing nut-bolts should be tightened.
