Earth Transformer
Grounding transformers are essential for providing a ground reference point in ungrounded or delta-connected power systems, and they often serve to manage unbalanced loads and fault currents. To accommodate various installation environments and operational requirements, grounding transformers can be equipped with several optional features. An optional low-voltage winding can be added to supply auxiliary loads, enabling the transformer to function not only for grounding but also as a station service power source. For system protection and current monitoring, bushing-type current transformers (CTs) can be integrated into the high-voltage bushings to detect fault currents and support relay coordination. A winding temperature indicator (WTI)—mechanical or electronic—may be included to monitor the winding temperature, with options for alarm or remote signaling. To support underground or indoor cable connections, a cable box or terminal box can be provided, with configurations available for single-core or three-core cable entry, ensuring secure and sealed terminations.
High-voltage bushings are also customizable, with options including porcelain or composite (silicone rubber) bushings, selected based on environmental exposure and user preference. Additionally, the orientation of the bushings (top-mounted, side-mounted, or angled) can be adjusted to suit the installation site layout, facilitating easier cable connections and minimizing bending stress. These flexible configuration options make grounding transformers highly adaptable and practical for a wide range of utility and industrial applications, ensuring improved system reliability, safety, and ease of maintenance.

The transformer is securely packed in a robust, weather-resistant wooden crate or steel container, with appropriate cushioning materials like foam or bubble wrap to absorb any shocks or impacts during transport.
The packing is carefully designed to protect the transformer from moisture, dust, and other environmental factors that could potentially affect its functionality.
For shipping, the transformer is typically delivered via road, rail, or sea, depending on the destination. It is properly secured to the shipping platform or pallet using straps or tie-downs to prevent any movement during transit. The packaging is clearly labeled with handling instructions and safety warnings to ensure that all involved parties handle the equipment with care.
Shipping documentation, including customs clearance forms, certificates of origin, and any necessary permits, are included to comply with international shipping standards. Upon arrival, the transformer is inspected for any potential damage before installation. This thorough packing and shipping process ensures that the Grounding Transformer reaches its destination in optimal condition, ready for installation and long-term operation.

Earth Transformer
Progress Test
NPC Electirc manufacture Grounding transformers have the strict quality control,The Progress Test for Grounding transformers is carried out during the manufacturing process to ensure that the transformer meets all design and quality requirements. These tests include verification of the core insulation, winding resistance, and dielectric strength of the transformer. Additionally, electrical components such as bushings, tap changers, and protection devices are tested for proper functionality. The progress test also checks the transformer’s ability to handle operational loads and voltage fluctuations. Any issues identified during these tests are addressed before moving on to the final testing stages, ensuring that the transformer is reliable, safe, and ready for commissioning. These tests are essential to confirm the transformer’s performance under real-world conditions and compliance with industry standards.
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
♦ DC Insulation Resistance Test
♦ Transformer Turns Ratio/TTR (All Tap Voltages)
♦ Impedance Voltage & Load Loss (Rated Voltage)
♦ Excitation & No-Load Loss (Rated Voltage)
♦ Applied Voltage
♦ Induced Voltage
♦ Lightning Impulse
♦ Insulation Resistance (Rated Voltage)
♦ Temperature Rise
Transformer Factory Acceptance Test
NPC Electric will tests made for quality control by the manufacturer on every device or representative samples, or on parts or materials as required, to verify during production that the product meets the design specifications.
The Transformer Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for Grounding transformers is an essential procedure conducted before shipment to ensure the transformer meets all required standards and performs optimally. During the FAT, several critical tests are carried out:
Visual Inspection: Ensuring the transformer’s physical appearance, including the enclosure, bushings, and labeling, meets design specifications.
Electrical Testing: This includes measuring winding resistance, insulation resistance, and verifying the turns ratio to confirm proper electrical functionality.
Protection Device Testing: Confirming that safety features such as surge arresters, tap changers, and other protective components function properly.
The FAT ensures the 30kVA three-phase Oil immersed transformers is reliable, safe, and ready for installation, guaranteeing compliance with industry standards before being dispatched to the customer.
