PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS OBSERVATIONS/ Keep the instruction manual in a safe and accessible place ARTECHE is not liable for accidents due to causes unrelated to to ensure that any operation or maintenance task can be our guidelines. performed quickly and easily when necessary.
User Manual INTRODUCTION FOREWORD/ This manual describes the construction, installation, commissioning and monitoring for safe use of a high-voltage instrument transformer insulated by SF for Auxiliary Services. SCOPE OF APPLICATION/ The manual applies to the following transformers: › Gas Insulated Voltage Transformers, UG Series, Models UG-72..550. DESIGN/ At the base of the transformer is the densimeter with temperature Gas insulated voltage transformers are manufactured with a...
Attach photos of the damaged transformers to the report. etc. Any anomaly must be indicated on the transport › Possible damage to the packaging: Dents on the outside, open company’s receipt sheet and communicated to ARTECHE or packaging, etc. the equipment supplier. ›...
The handling of the gas, of the containers under pressure in which it is supplied and of the pressure regulation instruments For more details, please refer to the ARTECHE gas filling manual. must be carried out by trained and certified personnel, and using appropriate means, to reduce the risk of emission and of possible damage due to incorrect handling of the containers.
User Manual ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS/ Primary connections A faulty contact or a bad connection can lead to rapid transformer deterioration Do not use the secondary terminal block as a step To make or check the primary connections, a lifting platform or a ladder should be used, CAUTION maintaining the necessary safety conditions for work at height.
