What are the requirements for cleaning the transformer enclosure?

Cleaning the transformer core is a crucial step to ensure that the transformer achieves the desired electrical performance and reliability during operation. Both users and manufacturers have strict requirements for cleaning the transformer core, especially during the assembly process and the installation of key components and insulation parts. The following are the detailed requirements for cleaning the transformer core:

●Selection of Cleaning Tools

The cleaning process of the transformer core primarily relies onthe appropriate tools and methods. Typically, cleaning tools include vacuum cleaners andclean white cloths. When using a vacuum cleaner, it should be equipped withan efficient filtration system to ensure the effective removal of fine dust and impurities. For some hard-to-reach areas, clean white cloths can be used for wiping. The use of white cloths ensures that no fibers or other contaminants are left behind during the cleaning process.

●Implementation of Cleaning Methods

During the actual cleaning process, the core should first be subjected to a thorough preliminary cleaning using a vacuum cleaner to remove surface dust and debris. Next, clean white cloths should be used for meticulous wiping to ensure that all areas are free from dust. For areas with oil stains, the "tackiness method" is a simple and effective approach. This method involvesusing adhesive materials to pick up oil stains and fine particles, followed by further cleaning.

●Key Areas for Cleaning

Special attention should be given to the cleanliness of critical areas and insulation components during the cleaning process. The cleanliness of these areas directly impacts the electrical performance and operational reliability of the transformer. For example,the area between windingsandinsulation materials must be completely free of dust to prevent electrical breakdowns and short circuits.

●Standards for Cleaning Results

The cleaning results should meet the standard where metal debris, particularly non-metallic debris, is not visible to the naked eye. To ensure this requirement is met, adetailed visual inspection should be conducted after cleaning to confirm that all surfaces are free from visible contaminants. If necessary, magnifying glasses or microscopes can be used for further inspection to ensure that the cleanliness meets the required standards.

●Post-Cleaning Inspection and Confirmation

After cleaning, additional inspection and confirmation are required.Static dust removal devices orspecialized cleanliness testing equipmentcan be used for rechecking the core to ensure the effectiveness of the cleaning. The cleaned transformer core should comply with relevant technical specifications and standards to ensure that no faults occur during operation due to cleanliness issues.

In summary

By following these stringent cleaning procedures, the transformer core can achieve the desiredelectrical performance and reliability during operation. This not only helps extend the transformer's lifespan but also reduces the risk of faults caused by contaminants, thereby enhancing the safety and stability of the equipment. The high standards and strict requirements for cleaning the transformer core are essential for ensuring the efficient operation of the transformer.
