PPM for Transformer: Informing department and getting Approval . Ensuring incoming & outgoing breakers in off position. Applying LOTO Tags . Using proper PPE while carrying out PPM. Cleaning T/F with dry cloth . check & Reticify Oil leakages.  check silica gel condition. check OTI & WTI control wiring & tightness . check OLTC Belt condition . Checking Manual operation of oltc . checking buccholz's relay alarm & trip test. checking for damaged nuts & bolts. check Neutral to Earth Resistance . HT To LT Megger values need to check .  2500 KVA TRANSFORMER

          Capacitor Bank      Capacitor bank can be connected in LT or HT side    In   Industries it is connected in HT side due to High rated motors   installed and requirement of Reactive power is more.   Where as in commercial Buildings Capacitor banks of smaller capacities are placed in LT room .          Why we need Capacitor Bank?     Capacitor Bank improves power Factor gives Leading PF, helps   industry from getting low PF penalties from Electricity Board.     Reduces losses.       Improves motor performance.     P= V I cosǾ, PF inversely proportional to voltage & current.  HT Capacitors in Industrial Sector   In industries HT Capacitors are used & are placed at Switchyard.   HT capacitors placed in between Series reactor & Residual voltage Transformer.    ...
