Packing and Shipping
Each transformer is clearly labeled with relevant information, including model number, weight, and handling instructions, to ensure proper identification and care throughout the shipping process. Depending on the shipping method, the transformer may be wrapped in weather-resistant plastic or shrink-wrapped to protect it from environmental factors such as moisture, dust, or dirt. For international shipments, the transformer is also accompanied by the necessary shipping documents, including customs clearance paperwork, safety certificates, and inspection reports.
During transportation, the transformer is carefully handled using specialized lifting equipment to avoid any damage, and it is often transported by road, sea, or rail, depending on the destination and urgency. Upon arrival at the destination, the transformer is unloaded with caution and undergoes another inspection to verify that no damage occurred during shipping. Once the transformer passes the final inspection, it is ready for installation. The packing and shipping process ensures that the NPC Electric 1600kVA Dry-Type Transformer reaches its destination safely and is ready for operation without issues.


Manufacturer Test

Progress Test
NPC Electric manufactures high-quality three-phase dry-type transformers under strict quality control protocols. The Progress Test for the NPC Electric 1600kVA Dry-Type Transformer involves a series of essential checks to ensure the transformer's performance and safety standards are met before delivery. The test starts with an insulation resistance test to verify the integrity of the insulation system. Next, the winding resistance test checks for any irregularities in the primary and secondary windings. The dielectric withstand test ensures the transformer can handle overvoltage conditions. The temperature rise test is conducted to monitor the temperature during full-load operation, ensuring it remains within safe limits. The load test evaluates the transformer’s performance under various load conditions, while the short-circuit impedance test ensures it can safely handle fault situations. A noise level test ensures the transformer operates within acceptable sound limits, and a mechanical integrity test checks the structural stability of all components. Lastly, a visual inspection is carried out to confirm proper assembly. Upon successful completion of these tests, a test report is prepared to certify the transformer’s compliance with required standard.

Design Tests
All transformer will be test after finished the production, test items as below:
♦ Insulation Power Factor
♦ Winding Resistance
♦ Impulse Tests
♦ On load Loss Test
♦ No Load Loss Test
♦ Leak Test

♦ Insulation Resistance (Rated Voltage)
♦ Temperature Rise

Transformer Factory Acceptance Test
NPC Electric conducts rigorous quality control testing on every transformer or representative samples, as well as on specific components and materials, to ensure compliance with design specifications throughout the production process.
The Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for a 1600kVA three-phase dry-type transformer is a critical step performed before shipment to verify that the unit meets all applicable standards and delivers optimal performance. The FAT includes the following key procedures:
Visual Inspection: Evaluates the transformer’s physical condition, including the enclosure, terminals, and labeling, to ensure conformance with design and safety requirements.
Electrical Testing: Involves measuring winding resistance, insulation resistance, and performing turns ratio tests to validate electrical integrity and functionality.
Dielectric Strength Test: Applies high voltage across the insulation system to ensure it can endure both normal and transient operating voltages without failure.
Load Testing: Simulates real-world operating conditions to assess the transformer’s voltage regulation, temperature rise, and overall efficiency under load.
Protection Device Testing: Verifies the proper operation of integrated protective components such as thermal sensors, temperature relays, and tap changers (if applicable).
Routine Test - DC Insulation Resistance Test
Voltage source (usually 500V, 1000V, 2500V, or customized according to customer requirements)
Temperature and humidity meter (used to record the ambient temperature and humidity during the test to ensure that the test conditions meet the standard requirements.)
Perform the test under suitable environmental conditions. It is recommended to have a relative humidity below 75%, no rain, and a temperature range of 20-30°C to avoid moisture or temperature fluctuations affecting the test results.
Connect an insulation resistance tester to the high voltage terminal of the device under test and to ground.
Apply Test Voltage:
Select an appropriate test voltage based on the rated voltage of the equipment .
Insulation resistance value (MΩ)

Ambient temperature and humidity during testing
500 MΩ ≤ Insulation resistance < 1000 MΩ (good)
100 MΩ ≤ Insulation resistance < 500 MΩ

What is a Transformer?A transformer is an electrical device used to change the voltage of alternating current (AC). It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction, converting high-voltage current into low-voltage current or low-voltage current into high-voltage current. Transformers are widely used in power transmission, distribution systems, and various electronic devices.
-
What are the main uses of a transformer?The main use of a transformer is voltage conversion. Transformers are used in power transmission systems to help transfer electricity from power plants to consumers. In addition, transformers are also used in electronic devices such as chargers, televisions, power adapters, etc., to adjust the voltage to meet the requirements of different devices.
