To  depressurize  the  transformer,  slowly  open  the  air 

test  valve  until  the  vacuum-pressure  gauge  reads  zero  psi. 
If  the  transformer  does  not  have  these  items  SLOWLY 
loosen  the  filling  connection  until  pressure  is  equalized. 

9.9  Some  internal  accessories  such  as current  transform­

ers,  bushings,  or  fuses  that  are  under the  insulating  fluid 

can  be replaced without completely  draining  the  tank. In 
such  cases,  only  that  fluid necessary  to  expose  the  acces­
sory should be drained. There may also be occasions when 
complete draining of the transformer  tank  may  be neces­
sary.  Before  partially  or  completely  draining fluid  from 
the  transformer  tank, refer  to  "Maintenance" Section 8.4

When  working  inside  a  transformer  tank,  extreme  care 
must be exercised to avoid dropping tools  or other objects 
into  the  core and coils  or  into the  tank.  Objects dropped 
on  the coils  or  left  in  the  tank can  cause  a  failure  to the 
transformer. 

9 . 1 0   The  core  and  coil  assembly  can  be  repaired  or  re­
placed by  Westinghouse  personnel  at either  the factory or 
at a  Westinghouse  Repair Plant. Contact the nearest West­

inghouse Sales Office  for more details.
