3.1.2 Maintaining the device
The instrument transformer is maintenance-free.
To ensure the safety of the transformer, carry out a visual inspection
at least once a year: This includes the following steps:
1.
Proceed according to the five rules of electrical engineering!
2.
Check the pollution level of the transformer.
è
If necessary, clean the transformer. Surface protection is not
required, see
Chapter 3.1.1 Cleaning the device on page 24.
3.
Check the insulator surface for cracks and any other damage
especially on and between the insulator shields.
è
Any cracks in the insulator as well as severe damage to the
insulator shields necessitate replacing the transformer!
4.
Inspect the terminal box for cracks, damage and leaks.
5.
Inspect the condition and fit of the primary and secondary
terminals.
6.
Inspect possible covers and seals for cracks, damage and leaks.
7.
Check the oil level using the oil level indicator on the head of the
transformer. You can see here how to correctly interpret the
result:
CAUTION
The oil level indicator on RED
» If the oil level indicator is in the upper or lower red area,
please inform the manufacturer immediately,
7 Contact / customer service on page 47
» Always mention anomalies such as oil leaks and excess
voltages.
