Ustawishi na Uhamisho wa Mabadiliko ya Kiwango cha 10kV Chafu

Na James, na Nne miaka ya kutunza vifaa vya umeme

Habari kila mtu, mimi ni James, nimekuwa naajiri katika uhalifu wa vifaa vya umeme kwa miaka minne.

Kwa miaka minne iliyopita, nimefanya kazi katika viwanda, steshoni za umeme, na chumba cha upatikanaji, ukubalika, utunza, na kutafuta matatizo ya transforma zisizokuwa na maji. Transforma zisizokuwa na maji ni moja ya vifaa vyake vya umeme vinavyotumika siku kuu.

Leo, rafiki mzuri aliuliza:

“Tumepokea transforma mpya isiyokuwa na maji – jinsi njia ya kunakili na kuanzisha? Ni nini nitakayofanya?”

Swali hili ni la muhimu sana, hasa kwa wale wanapoanza katika eneo hili – ni kama suala lenye lazima kujua. Hivyo nitaelezea kila kitu kwa njia rahisi, kutokana na tajriba yangu ya kutosha, ili uweze kuelewa vizuri na kufanya kazi bila wasiwasi.

1. Ni Nini Transforma Isiyokuwa Na Maji?

Hebu tuanze kwa ufafanuli mdogo:
Transforma isiyokuwa na maji ni transforma inayohutumuwa na kuwa na insulation ya resin ya epoxy, inayotumiwa kwa wingi katika ofisi, hospitali, vitanda, data centers – maeneo ambayo ni muhimu kwao kuwa salama dhidi ya moto.

Tofauti na transforma zenye maji, haitumii maji ya insulation, hivyo ni salama zaidi na ya kijani. Lakini pia ni ya kuvunjika zaidi – hasa kwa maji, hewa, na ubora wa nakilisho.

2. Nini Kutayarisha Kabla ya Nakilisho

Kabla ya kuanzia nakilisho, kutayarisha ni muhimu. Usijikatahele – hakikisha kuwa mambo yafuatayo yamekubali:

1. Utekelezaji wa Pakiti

• Angalia iki pakiti ni safi;

• Thibitisha kwamba cheti cha bidhaa, maneno, na ripoti ya majaribio ya kiwango ni kamili;

• Thibitisha parametra za nameplate (capacity, voltage ratio, wiring group) yanayofanana na mahitaji ya kujenga;

• Angalia kuna changamoto ya kimwili, kubadilika, au kuguruka;

• Hakikisha windings, busbars, fans, na temperature controllers ni safi.

2. Utekelezaji wa Mazingira

• Eneo la nakilisho linapaswa kuwa kichwachu na kilicho na hewa, ikisiteko jua;

• Safi gases zenye kuharibu au vifaa vilivyovimba;

• Mtaa ni sawa na uwezo wa kusimamia uzito unayofaa kwa vifaa;

• Maji katika switch room yanapaswa kuwa chini ya 60% ili kupunguza ukimbiaji wa insulation;

• Ikiwezekana, installe dehumidifiers au heaters.

3. Zana na Maneno

• Nakilisho drawings, wiring diagrams, manuals za teknolojia ya wakala;

• Torque wrench, multimeter, megohmmeter, infrared thermometer;

• Ground resistance tester, insulating mat, personal protective equipment;

• Zana za kukukua (e.g., crane, hoist, lifting straps).

3. Hatua Muhimu Wakati wa Nakilisho

Hapa ni hatua standard ya nakilisho nimehifadhi kwa miaka mingi:

Hatua 1: Kuweka Transforma

• Weka transforma isiyokuwa na maji kwenye msingi uliyoprekwa;

• Tumia leveler ili kuhakikisha ni sahihi;

• Funga bolts na mark them for future inspection of looseness.

Hatua 2: Wiring Primary na Secondary Side

• Weka high and low-voltage cables kulingana na wiring diagram;

• Tumia torque wrench kufunga terminals kulingana na specifications;

• Hakikisha phase sequence ni sahihi ili kutekeleza reverse rotation au short circuits wakati wa power-up;

• Wrap exposed parts with heat-shrink tubing or insulating tape;

• Tumia multimeter kuhakikisha continuity baada ya wiring.

Hatua 3: Installation ya Grounding System

• Enclosure na core ya transforma yanapaswa kuwa grounded;

• Tumia copper grounding wire ≥50mm²;

• Pamoja na ground points zaidi ya mbili zinazoweza kuwasiliana na main grounding grid;

• Test ground resistance ≤4Ω using a ground resistance tester.

Hatua 4: Temperature Controller na Fan Wiring

• Insert temperature probe into designated hole and secure it;

• Pay attention to fan motor phase sequence to ensure correct airflow;

• Set alarm and trip temperatures (typically 130°C alarm, 150°C trip);

• Test fan start/stop function.

Hatua 5: Cleaning na Covering

• Clean internal dust and debris;

• Double-check all fasteners are tightened;

• Close cabinet door, label with device number, capacity, and purpose.

4. Nini Muhimu Wakati wa Kuanzisha

Nakilisho si mwisho – kuanzisha na kutest ni muhimu kwa uhakika na kufanya kazi salama.

1. Insulation Resistance Test

• Use a 2500V megohmmeter to measure insulation between windings and ground, and phase-to-phase;

• Low-voltage side insulation ≥100MΩ, high-voltage side ≥500MΩ;

• If value is low, could be due to moisture – dry and retest;

• Record R15 and R60 values, calculate absorption ratio (R60/R15 ≥1.3).

2. DC Resistance Test

• Measure DC resistance of each winding;

• Detect open circuits, shorts, or poor connections;

• Three-phase imbalance should not exceed ±2%.

3. Voltage Ratio Test

• Verify voltage ratio matches nameplate;

• Identify turn-to-turn short circuits or incorrect wiring;

• Tolerance within ±0.5%.

4. No-Load Test

• Keep low-voltage side open, apply rated voltage on high-voltage side;

• Measure no-load current and losses;

• Determine if there's core damage or local short circuit.

5. System Integration & Trial Run

• Power up temperature controller and fan control system;

• Observe normal fan startup/shutdown;

• Run under light load for at least 2 hours;

• Use infrared thermography to monitor connection temperatures;

• Ensure no abnormal heating, noise, or vibration.

6. Mawazo Yangu na Mchakato wa Tafakari

Kama mtu anayena tajriba ya miaka minne katika kutunza vifaa vya umeme, mara nyingi ninasema:

“Nakilisho ni hatua ya kwanza, kuanzisha ni muhimu, na kutunza huwahudumia uhakika.”

Transforma isiyokuwa na maji inaweza kuonekana rahisi, lakini ufanisi wake unawezesha ustawi na usalama wa mfumo wako wa umeme.

Hivyo hapa kuna mapendekezo yangu:

Nakilisho Tips:

Follow manufacturer instructions and technical standards strictly;

• Pay attention to details like torque, phase sequence, and grounding;

• Better to spend an extra 30 minutes checking than to face emergency repairs later.

Commissioning Tips:

• Don’t skip any test steps, especially insulation and ratio tests;

• Keep complete records for future analysis;

• Closely monitor during trial operation and address issues immediately.

Maintenance Tips:

• Regular cleaning, especially around windings and air vents;

• Check fans, temperature controllers, and terminal blocks;

• Monitor hotspots with infrared thermometers;

• Maintain equipment logs and track performance trends.

7. Mawazo Ya Mwisho

Nakilisho na kuanzisha transforma isiyokuwa na maji inaweza kuonekana teknikal, lakini mara tu uweze kuelewa hatua za msingi na hatua za kijani, hutakuwa rahisi.

Kumbuka ujumbe huu muhimu:

“Details determine success or failure; safety comes first.”

Ikiwa una shida kama haya kwenye eneo lako na usisemeje jinsi ya kufanya, usisite kuwasiliana – tutaweza kufanya kazi pamoja na kupata suluhisho bora.

May every time you close the breaker bring a smooth “click” – not a sudden “bang!”
