A.1 How to Operate a Transformer

NOTICE

When operating a transformer, ensure that the transformer is in the no-excitation


state, that is, the high and low voltage sides of the transformer are not powered
on.

A.1.1 Adjusting the Off-Load Tap Changer


The off-load tap changer can be used to adjust the transformer output voltage.
When operating a changer, ensure that the transformer is in the no-excitation
state, that is, the high and low voltage sides of the transformer are not powered
on.
When the voltage at the low-voltage side remains unchanged, the output voltages
at the high-voltage side at different levels are as follows:
● Level 1: standard voltage x 1.05
● Level 2: standard voltage x 1.025
● Level 3: standard voltage
● Level 4: standard voltage x 0.975
● Level 5: standard voltage x 0.95

as the surface coating color of the equipment.

Step 4 Apply paint evenly to the damaged area based on the damage degree of the paint
using a spray bottle, brush, or painting gun until all damage traces are invisible.

NOTICE

● Ensure that the painting is thin, even, and smooth.


● In the case that a container pattern has different colors, to prevent undamaged
areas and those with different colors as the damaged area from being polluted
during repainting, cover such areas using white paper and adhesive tape before
repairing paint.

Figure A-7 Repainting a damaged area

Step 5 Wait for 30 minutes and check whether the painting meets the requirements.
NOTE

● The color of the repainted area must be consistent with that of the surrounding area.
Use a colorimeter to measure the color difference (ΔE), which should be less than or
equal to 3. If a colorimeter is unavailable, ensure that there is no visible edge between
the repainted area and the surrounding area. The paint should also be free of bulges,
scratches, flaking, or cracks.
● If you choose to spray paint, it is recommended that you spray paint three times before
checking the result. If the color does not meet the requirements, paint more times until
the painting meets the requirements.
