Packing and Shipping

250MVA 330kV High-Voltage Oil-Immersed Distribution Transformer for Grid & Substation
The 250MVA 330kV High-Voltage Oil-Immersed Distribution Transformer is packed and shipped following strict international safety standards to ensure the unit arrives in perfect working condition. Before packing, the transformer undergoes a full inspection, tank sealing, and moisture removal process. All bushings, valves, radiators, and accessories are securely protected with shock-absorbing materials and protective caps. The external surface receives a corrosion-resistant coating, while moisture-proof desiccants are placed inside necessary compartments to maintain dryness during long-distance transport.
The main body of the transformer is mounted onto a reinforced steel skid or wooden base designed to support its heavy weight and prevent movement during handling. Multi-layer wrapping, waterproof covers, and high-strength tension straps are applied to safeguard the unit from impact, vibration, and weather exposure. Sensitive components such as OLTC control panels, gauges, and sensors are either removed for separate packaging or reinforced with dedicated protective housings.
For domestic transport, heavy-duty trucks equipped with air-suspension systems are used to minimise vibration. For international shipping, the transformer is loaded onto flat-rack or open-top containers using certified lifting points and cranes to avoid structural stress. All loading operations follow IEC, ISO, and marine transport regulations. Shock and tilt sensors may be installed to monitor transport conditions in real time.
Upon delivery, the unloading process is coordinated with the receiving team to ensure safe handling. A final inspection is performed before removing the protective packaging. This comprehensive packing and shipping procedure guarantees that the 250MVA 330kV oil-immersed transformer arrives safely, intact, and ready for installation.

Routine Test - Lightning Impulse

Purpose of Testing
The purpose of the lightning impulse test is to simulate the performance of the equipment when it is subjected to lightning or high voltage transient pulses, so as to evaluate its lightning resistance and insulation performance.
Testing Equipment
Lightning Impulse Tester. Usually a high voltage DC power supply, used to simulate lightning impulse waves. The voltage range can be adjusted according to the test standards and equipment requirements. Common voltages are 200 kV, 500 kV or higher. The specific voltage is customized according to customer requirements.
Pre-Test Preparation
Disconnect the device from the power supply and ensure that the device is properly grounded and discharged.
Check all terminals and connections to ensure they are secure and free of contamination.
Perform the test under suitable environmental conditions: relative humidity less than 75%, temperature between 20-30°C, no rain.
Test Progress
Connect the Test Instrument: Connect the lightning impulse test equipment to the high-voltage terminal or bushing of the device under test. Apply Test Voltage: According to the rated voltage of the equipment and the test standard, select the appropriate test voltage.
Measure and Record
Start the test and record the following parameters: Applied impulse voltage (kV)
Current waveform Impedance
Reaction voltage waveform
Ambient temperature and humidity during testing
Temperature Correction
The measured test data is temperature corrected according to the ambient temperature during the test, usually with a reference temperature of 20°C, to ensure the accuracy of the test results.
Repeat Testing (if necessary)
Repeated testing of different windings (high voltage, medium voltage, low voltage) or bushings under different test conditions ensures that the insulation performance of each part meets the standards.
Evaluation Criteria (Reference)
The lightning impulse test did not produce breakdown or irreversible damage: qualified
The voltage waveform meets the standard requirements, and the equipment does not have abnormal discharge or local breakdown: good
Obvious damage or non-standard waveform during the test: Further inspection or corrective measures are required
*These comprehensive tests ensure that each transformer meets performance standards and operates reliably under various conditions.
