A.1 How to Operate a Transformer

When operating the transformer, ensure that the transformer is in the no-excitation state, that
is, the high and low voltage sides of the transformer are not powered on.

A.1.1 Adjusting the Off-Load Tap Changer

The off-load tap changer can be used to adjust the transformer output voltage. When operating
the changer, ensure that the transformer is in the no-excitation state, that is, the high and low
voltage sides of the transformer are not powered on.
When the voltage at the low-voltage side remains unchanged, the output voltages at the
high-voltage side at different levels are as follows:
 Level 1: standard voltage x 1.05
 Level 2: standard voltage x 1.025
 Level 3: standard voltage
 Level 4: standard voltage x 0.975
 Level 5: standard voltage x 0.95
Step 1 Adjust the off-load tap changer to the level you need.

wait until the paint has dried, and then apply acrylic acid top coating.
 Select epoxy zinc-rich primer or acrylic acid top coating with a color the same as the
surface coating color of the equipment.

Step 4 Apply paint evenly to the damaged area based on the damage degree of the paint using a spray
bottle, brush, or painting gun until all damage traces are invisible.

 Ensure the painting is thin, evenly, and smooth.

 In the case that a container pattern has different colors, to prevent undamaged areas and
those with different colors as the damaged area from being polluted during repainting,
cover such areas using white paper and adhesive tape before repairing paint.

Figure A-10 Repainting a damaged area

Step 5 Wait for 30 minutes and check whether the painting meets the requirements.

 The color of the repainted part should be the same as surrounding areas without bulging or traces of
damages, and the paint should not flake off.
 If you choose to spray paint instead of applying paint using a brush, it is recommended that you
spray paint three times before checking the result. If the color does not meet the requirements, paint
more times until the painting meets the requirements.
