For your own safety and to avoid any accidental damage of the transformer, please be sure to read carefully and follow all the
instructions in this manual. The transformer’s technical characteristics specied in the rating plate, such as the rated power and
voltage, must be strictly respected during commissioning and energising. All connection works must be carried out by compe-
tent sta, equipped with all necessary protective devices according to the local safety rules. Please pay attention to proper pro-
tection of the transformer during uploading, positioning, installation and operation. Over voltage and external agents (pollution,
water, sun radiation, plants and animals) may aect the correct operation of the transformer.
5.1 RECEIVING
The transformer is generally supplied fully assembled and ready to be connected to the
medium and low voltage lines. For the purposes of protection, the transformer is wrapped
in polythene lm or packed into a wooden box with moisture absorbers to provide extra
protection against shock, vibrations and excessive dampness, especially for shipping by sea.
On receipt of the transformer, it is necessary to carry out the following checks:
•Check the package and fastenings for signs of damage, which might have occurred during shipping.
•Check the transformer, its parts and accessories for signs of damage, which might have occurred during shipping.
•Check if the characteristics of the transformer detailed in the rating plate coincide with those in the shipping
documents and in the test report attached to the transformer.
• Check if each transformer is complete with the accessories specied in the contract (wheels, thermo-controller, etc.).
In cold weather, to avoid water condensation on the windings, resulting from temperature uctuations during outdoor / indoor
operations of uploading and handling, it is recommended to wait between 8 to 24 hours before unpacking the transformer, so that
it reaches the temperature of the room.

Installation of the transformer must be done in full compliance with the
applicable local regulations and all work must be carried out by properly
trained and qualified personnel.
6.1 – SITE PREPARATION
The transformer is designed for indoor installation. It should only be
operated in a clean, dust-free environment, protected from direct sunlight,
rain, snow and any kind of contamination.
Ensure that the floor of the room is properly leveled and capable of
supporting the weight of the equipment. Sufficient space should be left
around the perimeter of the transformer to ensure:
• Easy installation, cable connections, inspection and maintenance;
• Adequate natural ventilation (circulation of free cooling air);
• Minimum electrical clearance in line with the local safety standards.
Special attention should be paid to choice of the installation place if noise
level is a factor of particular importance. Sound waves generated by the
transformer during normal operation may be amplified or reflected by the
walls or building structure. Noise level may be reduced by using flexible
terminations and anti-vibration pads
IMPORTANT: If the altitude of the place of installation and/or the
ambient temperature values are higher than the ones specified
above, it should be stated at the ordering stage since these values are
taken into account for transformer design and dimensions.
6.3 – WORKING TEMPERATURE
The maximum altitude of installation must not exceed 1000 m above sea
level. When the transformer is in service, the ambient temperature of the
room must be within -25°C ÷ +40°C limits.
Electric current passing through the windings and magnetizing of the core
are accompanied by certain electrical losses and temperature rise in the
core and windings. The transformer is designed so that natural air cooling
is sufficient to maintain its temperature below the maximum values
foreseen by the standards. In order to avoid temperature accumulation in
the room where the transformer is installed, it is necessary to
provide suitable ventilation. The working temperature of the

For optimal use of the transformer’s full rating, it is essential that the
losses (heat) produced by the core and the windings are effectively
removed. The installation room must be ventilated well in order to
guarantee stable operation and the expected service life of the
transformer. Obstructions around the transformer or close to the
enclosure ventilation openings restricting natural airflow must be avoided.
In order to guarantee standard service conditions and to prevent the
transformer from exceeding its temperature limits, it is necessary to
install air louvers in the installation room. The air louvers must be
located on 2 opposite walls (one in the bottom part and the other in the
upper part) and be big enough to dissipate the heat generated by the
transformer during the service.
Figure 8 – Natural ventilation of the installation room
The minimum size of the openings to guarantee sufficient airflow inside
the installation room (considering average annual temperature of 20°C)
can be calculated using the following formulae:
A1 = lower opening surface (m²)
A2= upper opening surface (m²)
P = total no load losses / load losses at 120°C (kW)
H = difference in height between the top opening and the central line of the
transformer (m)
dT = temperature difference between incoming and outcoming air
temperature of the room (C°)
In case the natural ventilation is not sufficient, the openings may be
equipped with fans in order to increase the airflow inside the installation
room. In air-conditioned rooms, to avoid water condensation and possible
damage of the transformer, it is highly recommended not to blow the fresh
air directly on the transformer.
6.4.2 – FORCED VENTILATION OF THE TRANSFORMER
Forced cooling is necessary in the following cases:
• Short-time overloadings
• Low-dimensional room
• Scarcely ventilated room
• Medium daily temperature higher than 30°C

6.4.1 NATURAL / FORCED VENTILATION OF THE INSTALLATION ROOM
For optimal use of the transformer’s full rating, it is essential that the losses (heat) produced by the core and the windings
are eectively removed. The installation room must be well ventilated, in order to guarantee stable operation throughout the
expected service life of the transformer. Obstructions around the transformer or close to the enclosure ventilation openings,
restricting natural airow, must be avoided.
In order to guarantee standard service conditions, and to prevent the transformer from exceeding its temperature limits, it may
be necessary to install air louvres in the installation room. The air louvres must be located on 2 opposite walls (one in the bottom
part and the other in the upper part) and be big enough to dissipate the heat generated by the transformer during the service.
The minimum size of the openings to guarantee sucient airow inside the installation room (considering average annual

P = total no load losses / load losses at 120°C (kW)
H = dierence in height between the top opening and the central line of the transformer (m)
dT = temperature dierence between incoming and outcoming air temperature of the room (C°)
In case the natural ventilation is not sucient, the openings may be equipped with fans in order to increase the airow
inside the installation room. In air-conditioned rooms, to avoid water condensation and possible damage of the transformer,
it is highly recommended not to blow fresh air directly on to the transformer.

enclosure ventilation openings restricting natural airflow must be avoided.
In order to guarantee standard service conditions and to prevent the
transformer from exceeding its temperature limits, it is necessary to
install air louvers in the installation room. The air louvers must be
located on 2 opposite walls (one in the bottom part and the other in the
upper part) and be big enough to dissipate the heat generated by the
transformer during the service.
Figure 8 – Natural ventilation of the installation room
The minimum size of the openings to guarantee sufficient airflow inside
the installation room (considering average annual temperature of 20°C)
can be calculated using the following formulae:
A1 = lower opening surface (m²)
A2= upper opening surface (m²)
P = total no load losses / load losses at 120°C (kW)
H = difference in height between the top opening and the central line of the
transformer (m)
dT = temperature difference between incoming and outcoming air
temperature of the room (C°)
In case the natural ventilation is not sufficient, the openings may be
equipped with fans in order to increase the airflow inside the installation
room. In air-conditioned rooms, to avoid water condensation and possible
damage of the transformer, it is highly recommended not to blow the fresh
air directly on the transformer.
6.4.2 – FORCED VENTILATION OF THE TRANSFORMER
Forced cooling is necessary in the following cases:
• Short-time overloadings
• Low-dimensional room
• Scarcely ventilated room
• Medium daily temperature higher than 30°C

6.9 MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL CHECKS
Before energizing the unit, an inspection should be carried out in order to guarantee a proper installation and connection of
the transformer.
The following steps must be carefully fullled:
•Clean the MV and LV windings, and the channels from dust by blowing dried compressed air and wiping them with a
dry cloth.
• In case of condensation, pre heat the transformer with a seperate heater to dry out or by energizing at no load.
• Check proper tightening of xing elements of the MV and LV windings, terminal connections and the adjustment
plates.
•Check the position of MV and LV windings. They must be aligned perfectly to the magnetic core.
18

• Check the tie rods to the core or to the ground.
• Check all the protection devices of the transformer against possible over voltage.
• Check the position of the adjustment plates on the tapping board. This must be the same on all the three MV wind
ings, and must coincide with the specied feeding, and loading voltages. If the voltage is higher than allowed by the tap
ping intake, the no load losses and the noise will be higher.
• Check all the metallic parts to be at a safe insulation distance from all active parts of the transformer.
• It is absolutely forbidden to put metalic parts and /or MV / LV cables in contact with the windings.
• Check proper tightening of the bolts, nuts and tie rods in case the goods have been loaded and unloaded multiple
times during shipping. For proper mechanical tightening.
See information included in Paragraph 6.7 of this manual of use.
IMPORTANT: If the transformer is put into service after a long
storage or de-energized period, it is necessary to clean the MV and LV
windings from dust and condensation with a jet of dry compressed
air and a dry cloth. It is highly recommended to carry out a visual
check of the transformer in order to verify any unlikely presence of
parts on the surface and inside the cooling ducts.

6.10 MEASUREMENT OF WINDINGS EARTH RESISTANCE
Check the general condition of the transformer, and proceed with measurement of the insulation resistance, by means of a
Megger up to 5000 V.
The MV / LV windings must be switched o from the electrical system during the measurement procedure. The measured
values should be close to the following:
• MV terminals / LV terminals grounded >= 20 MΩ
• LV terminals / MV terminals grounded >= 10 MΩ
• LV and MV terminals / ground >= 10 MΩ
If the measured values are much lower, the transformer must by dried. If necessary please contact Bowers Electricals Lim-
ited.
6.11 EARTHING CONNECTIONS, TAPS AND PROTECTION POSITION
The Manufacturer is not responsible for the transformer installation. The installation must be carried out according to the
local standards in force, to the applicable laws, and to the present instructions.

6.12 – MV AND LV CONNECTIONS
The cables and the bus bars which are connected to the transformer must be
duly fixed to avoid any mechanical stress on the LV and HV transformer
terminals. Both upper and bottom cable connections are acceptable provided
the configuration showed in the Figure 12 and 13 is respected. In case the
connections arrive from the bottom please ensure that there is sufficient depth
for the minimum radius of curvature of the cables.
6.13 – TRANSFORMATION RATIO ADJUSTMENT
When it is necessary to adapt the transformation ratio to the feeding voltage
proceed according to the following instructions:
• Disconnect the unit from the mains on both medium and low voltage
and connect it to the ground;
• Connect the tapping plates in the most suitable position according to the
feeding voltage;
• Re-connect the transformer to the mains.
6.13.1 – MV WINDING ADJUSTMENT ON SINGLE VOLTAGE
If after energizing the primary side of the transformer, the secondary voltage
does not correspond to the rated value it is possible adjust it acting on the
primary winding adding or taking off turns. See Figure 15 for standard
transformer tapping. The plate shown on the right is fitted on the transformer to
indicate the proper position (for example +5% of the primary voltage
corresponds to a variation of -5% in the secondary voltage) The chosen
positions must be identical in all the three phases.
Figure 15 – Tapping regulation with single voltage
6.13.2 – MV WINDING ADJUSTMENT ON DOUBLE VOLTAGE
In case of two primary voltages – e.g. 10-20 kV – adjustment is required on both
parts of the winding. The voltages variation is obtained by putting the windings
in line or parallel as shown in Figure 16.
Figure 16 – Tapping regulation with double voltage
Figure 14 - Cables coming from the bottom.
The following actions must be performed during the installation:
•Connect the earthing conductors to the relative grounding points on the metallic parts of the transformer and enclo-
sure.
• Connect the LV neutral point to earth if required by the protection system.
• Connect the thermal protection relay to the control system according to the thermal protection relay manual.
•Ensure the connection of the primary windings are safely connected.
• Ensure that the voltage regulation taps are safety connected, and if required, modify the position according to the
supply voltage.
• For transformers with double ratio, please ensure that the link corresponding to the voltage of the transformer sys-
tem feeding is properly connected.
6.12 MV AND LV CONNECTIONS
The cables and the bus bars which are connected to the transformer must be duly xed to avoid any mechanical stress on
the LV and HV transformer terminals. Both upper and bottom cable connections are acceptable provided the conguration
showed in the (Figure 12 and 13) is respected. In case the connections arrive from the bottom please ensure that there is suf-
cient depth for the minimum bend radius of curvature of the cables.
