Application
●The products comprise of directional oil-gushing to prevents contaminated from the transformer oil, and
protect environment.
●The products that coupled with electrical alarm signal realize remote control.
●The products are apt for electrical equipments such as gas or liquid insulate transformer, instrument
transformers, on-load tap-changer, high voltage switch etc.
●Once there’s something wrong in such electrical equipments, valve open and relieve the pressure to avoid
oil basin from metamorphose and blowout.
●With the pressure reduced the valve automatically closed to prevent water and impurity got in from
outside.
Working conditions and install mode Model Specification
● Environment temperature
- 30℃～40℃.
● Installation site

Attention: When total oil weight more than 23 tons,
The quantity of release valve that chooses should be:
Total oil weight(tons) /23=Φ130 calibers of pressure release valve quantity(decimal fraction up to integer)
● selection of opening pressure
a）The opening pressure of pressure release valve should be equal to or slightly less than 0.6～0.7 safe
pressure in oil tank;
b）Use product specification and basic parameter to assure the opening pressure.

Install 、Using、Debugging
● Install: Pressure releasing valve and tank connect with the stud bolt
Attention:
1）The bottom of pressure releasing valve assemble to seal well;
2）When connect the pressure releasing valve and tank, tighten the bolts equality, avoid that valve
pedestal rupture.
●Using: With latching that must be removed before equipment circulate, insure the normal work of the
pressure releases valve.
●Debugging: Electric alarm switch,should manual debug deferent signal of switch whether exactitude、
sensitive，before the equipments circulate .
Method ：1）Measure export signal of switch when pressure releasing valve actionless by multimeter to
see whether in accordance with the signal mark of the switch.
Viz.: (a) “Common” towards “Normal open” normal open.
(b) “Common” towards “Normal closed” normal closed.
2）Experiment of simulate releasing valve’s action,checkout whether inching switch accurate export
behavioural signal.
Method: Raise the small red hat of the pressure releasing valve,then releasing valve turn on, check

whether the switch measure of the electric signal change.
Viz.: (a) “Common” of switch towards “Normal open”: “Normal open” should turn to “Normal
closed”;
(b) “Common” of switch towards “Normal closed”: “Normal closed” should turn to “Normal open”;
(c) Examine the signal switch and control circuit connect whether right and good.
Attention: The small red hat must be replacement after test over, insure that the pressure releasing valve

Crucial hint
●Latching should operate strictly according to caution requirement, insure that the pressure releasing valve
normal working.
●When install, accessory、 parts of the pressure releasing valve shouldn’t be arbitrium teardown.
●When equipment run, as if releasing valve turn on result in the instruction pole up, replace the instruction
pole by hand before find out reason, unchain warning alarm.
Maintenance and Inspection

Make use of the power-off time during maintenance of the pressure releasing valve:
●If turn on action sensitive? If there is block or stop up should eliminate.
●If the sealing gaskets are aged or deformed or damaged?
●If accessory、 parts whether metamorphose or wear off?
●If the signal switch whether operate sensitive?
How to Make Order
●The customer should be appropriate prepare several pressure releasing valve to switchover during
maintenance.
●Product every examine and repair, after teardown should change new sealing element,the sealing after
teardown do not suitable continue to use.
●Please specify the model, opening pressure, caliber of oil-gushing, mode of signal, using environment,
quantity and switch down-lead length(If no indication, then no down-lead.)
Spare parts and maintenance are available, also special designs asked and manufactures.
