All exposed interfaces are sealed, and sensitive internal components are safeguarded against moisture ingress and contamination. Accessories such as radiators, bushings, conservators, and control cabinets are removed when necessary and packed separately using reinforced crates with internal cushioning and moisture-resistant liners.
The transformer main unit is mounted on a heavy-duty transport base engineered to distribute weight evenly and minimize structural stress. Shock-absorbing materials and rigid securing systems are applied to protect against vibration, impact, and tilting during transit. For extended transportation periods, oil preservation measures and desiccants are used to maintain internal insulation conditions. External protective coatings are inspected to ensure resistance to abrasion and environmental exposure.
Shipping methods are selected based on transformer dimensions, weight, route limitations, and site accessibility. Depending on project requirements, transportation may be arranged via flat-rack containers, open-top containers, or break-bulk cargo. All packing materials comply with international export standards, including ISPM-15 regulations for wooden packaging. Clear markings for lifting points, center of gravity, and handling instructions are applied to ensure safe loading and unloading.
Each shipment is accompanied by comprehensive documentation, including packing lists, quality certificates, drawings, test reports, and operation manuals. Upon arrival, customers are provided with guidance for inspection, storage, and installation. Optional services such as on-site supervision, oil filling, commissioning assistance, and technical training can be arranged to ensure smooth project execution and reliable commissioning.

170kV 4–40MVA Oil-Immersed High-Voltage Power Transformer
Progress test
Progress testing for the 170kV 4–40MVA power transformer is conducted through structured inspections at key manufacturing stages. Raw materials, including magnetic steel, copper conductors, insulation materials, and insulating oil, are verified against technical specifications before production begins. During core assembly, checks focus on lamination alignment, clamping integrity, and magnetic circuit continuity. Winding production is monitored for conductor placement accuracy, insulation thickness, and dimensional tolerances.
After winding completion, the active part undergoes vacuum drying and controlled heating to achieve specified moisture levels. Interim electrical inspections, including resistance measurement and turns ratio verification, are performed prior to tanking. Tank fabrication is inspected for dimensional accuracy, weld quality, and surface treatment consistency. Before oil filling, leak tests and internal cleanliness inspections are carried out. All progress test results are documented to ensure traceability and quality compliance before final testing.
Design Tests
All transformers will be tested after finishing the production test items as follows:
♦ Leak testing with pressure for liquid-immersed transformers
♦ Test of transformer oil
♦ Measurement of voltage ratio and check of phase displacement
♦ Measurement of winding DC resistance
♦ Measurement of d. c. Insulation resistance between each winding to earth, and check of the core and frame insulation
