Disconnect external wiring and measure the insulation resistance to ground of the dry-type transformer coil using a 2500V megohmmeter. The standards are shown in the table below: Voltage Rating: 0.4, 3.0, 6.0, 1035; Humidity: 85%; Temperature: 5, 15, 25, ...5, 15, 5, 15, 5, 15, 5, 15, 5, 15, 5, 15, 5, 15, 5, 15, 5, 15, 5, 15, 5, 15, 5, 15, 5, 15, 5, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 1 VI.

1. Adjust the parameters of the protection device according to the inrush current situation, disconnect the secondary side wiring, and perform [number] impact closings under rated voltage. After the first energization, run for no less than [number] minutes, and then every [number] minutes thereafter, each run for no less than [number] minutes. The transformer should show no abnormalities.
1. Dry-type transformer: After successful initial impulse closing, run under no-load for 30 minutes. If no abnormalities are observed, gradually increase the load to the rated load and run continuously for 24 hours. If no abnormalities are found, handover can be carried out according to relevant regulations before formal operation. Load testing:
Monitor the sound and temperature of the transformer during operation for any abnormalities.
Monitor and inspect the appearance of the coils, core, and sealing wires for damage, discoloration, dust accumulation, and dirt.
Monitor the functionality of the air-cooling device, tap changer, and temperature measuring device.
Prevent water droplets from falling onto the transformer.
Maintain accurate transformer operation records. VII. Operating Procedures:
Transformer energization operation steps, instructions, and remarks: Pre-energization checks:
Perform a visual inspection:
Cooling fan should be operating normally; Transformer body should be clean, free of dust, foreign objects, cracks, etc.; conductor connections should not be overheated; grounding should be good. Transformer No-Load Energization
Check that the transformer load-side switch is in the open position.
Close the transformer power-side switch to energize the transformer.
To prevent the transformer from being energized under load, which would generate a large inrush current, the transformer must be energized under no-load conditions.
Even with no-load energization, there will be a short-term inrush current of 5-8 times the rated current, which will recover to the no-load rated current value after a transition process. Check the transformer no-load operating parameters. Verify the transformer's no-load current value and whether the three-phase current is balanced. The no-load current is generally 2%-10% of the rated current.
Transformer Under Load
Close the transformer load-side switch. Verify that the transformer load-side voltage is balanced.
Transformer De-energization Operation Procedures
Operating Instructions
Remarks
Disconnect the transformer load-side switch
Reduce the transformer load to the minimum value.
After opening the load-side switch, verify that the load side is de-energized. Record the transformer no-load parameters. Record the transformer no-load current, whether it is balanced, and whether there are any changes compared to previous no-load currents.
Disconnect the transformer power-side switch.
After opening the transformer power-side switch, verify the switchgear indication to confirm that the transformer is indeed de-energized.
