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.
This manual describes the construction, installation, commissioning and monitoring for safe use of a high-voltage instrument transformer insulated by oil-paper. SCOPE OF APPLICATION/ The manual applies to the following transformers: › Capacitive Voltage Transformers, DDB Series, Models: DDB-72..170. › Capacitive Voltage Transformers, DFK Series, Models: DFK-245..765. › Coupling Capacitors, DDN Series, Models DDN-72..170.
Attach pictures of the damaged transformers with 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. ›...
