OIL FILLING PROCEDURE FOR A CONSERVATOR

EQUIPPED WITH A FLEXIBLE SEPARATOR

 Close the conservator side shut-off valve between main transformer tank and the conservator. Fill
the oil in transformer under vacuum up to the level of the buchholz relay.
 Inflate the air bag slowly through pressure gauge connection valve as to maintain a positive pressure
of 0.07 to 0.1 KG/CM (1 to 1.5 psi) read by a pressure gauge. The air bag must remain in an inflated
condition during the oil filling procedure.
 Open the air release valves/plugs provided on the top of the conservator.
 Slowly pump transformer oil into the conservator through the conservator drain valve or through the
main transformer by opening the conservator shut-off valve. Stop filling operation for the time being
when oil starts coming out from all the vents on the conservator. Close these vents after ensuring that
no air bubbles come out through them.
 Continue oil filling till oil starts coming out from air release vent on the air bag connection flange on
the conservator. Stop filling oil and close this vent after ensuring that no air bubbles come out of it.
 Release the air pressure inside the air bag through the breather connection arrangement and continue
oil filling until M.O.G. indicates the desired level.
 Remove oil pump and connect the air bag to the breather from breather connection flange. Also
close the pressure gauge connection valve and remove the pressure gauge along with air pump
connection.
 The system is now properly filled Air pressure vents are to remain closed during normal operation.

IMPORTANT WARNING

 Oil filling in the conservator and also draining operations whenever required must be carried out
very slowly. During oil filling pressure in the air bag must never exceed 0.1 KG/CM (1.5 psi).
 If a pressure or vacuum is required to be applied anytime to the main tank .The conservator must
be is connected and a blanking plate fitted on the shut off valve.
  No wielding operators shall be carried out on the conservator with the air bag fitted in order to avoid
damage to the air bag.

Once all the air has been removed from the conservator during oil filling operations do not open the air release
vents as otherwise air will be sucked inside the conservator.
