Followed up action
• Both the core coil assembly (Tr 2 and Tr 4) were sent to factory for
investigation and replacement.
• Healthy transformers (Tr- 1 and Tr-3) were taken for shutdown one
after another. Coil surfaces were cleaned thoroughly with vacuum
cleaners.
• Additional heater were installed inside transformer rooms. The
exhaust fan were switched OFF for light load operation.
• Louvers were provided with coarse filter.
• Regular inspection of enclosure internal and core coil assembly
was undertaken.
• Both the transformer along with repaired ones are operating till
date .
