Table 9 –Periodic maintenance procedures

10.2 – MAINTENANCE PRIOR TO RE-ENERGIZING

If  the  transformer  is  operated  in  a  discontinuous way,  before  re-energizing, 

especially after a long stop, it is necessary to perform all the checks prior to 

commissioning  listed  in  Paragraph  6.  If  during  the  operation the  transformer 

withstood exceptional events such as short circuits, atmospheric or operational 

over-voltages, overflowing, etc. please consult our service before re-energizing.

IMPORTANT: IN CASE OF ANY DEFECTS

NATED, PLEASE CONTACT OUR ASSIST

 WHICH CANNOT BE ELIMI-

ANCE SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.

in uniform way

• Reset the tempera-ture-

monitoring device or

replace it if faulty

• Replace the faulty sensor

• Check the position of the

connection on the tapping

IMPORTANT: ANY INSPECTIONS AND OPERATIONS ON THE TRANSFORMER 

CAN BE PERFORMED ONLY IF IT IS COMPLETELY DE-ENERGIZED.

        IMPORTANT:  Any Inspections and operations on the transformer 
can be performed only if it is completely de-energised.

Only qualified, and properly trained personnel equipped with all necessary protection devices, according to local 

regulations, should perform such works or inspections. 

Whilst Bowers Electricals Ltd, are 

NOT

 responsible for the installation of the transformer, If a problem persists or is not 

listed below, please contact us.

1.

Overheating.

General overheating

 High ambient temperature.

 Poor ventilation of 

    installation room.

 Check the room ventilation 

    system (damaged fans,
    obstructed air louvres, 
    faulty protection devices)

 Increase cooling of the 

    installation room.

Overheating of one or more windings

 Failure of the temperature

   monitoring device.

 Faulty temperature 

    sensor on the winding.

 Load is not distributed 

    in uniform way.

 Reset the temperature 

    monitoring device or replace
    it if faulty.

 Replace the faulty sensor.

 Check the position of the

    connection on the tapping.
