    10 metres or less from oil supply or return valve to product connection point, and on transformer oil supply valve volumes of 200 ml or less. For oil temperatures colder than −10 ºC, GE recommends the use of heat trace cabling on piping. Low oil viscosity reduces oil flow.
  • Page 8 Note: The weight depends on the order specification. The stated weight is for a base product without packaging and excludes options such as a mounting stand. Check the shipping document for the exact packaged weight. Note: Maximum DC breaking capacity for a resistive load. Note: Use only the approved and recommended fuse to ensure continued fire protection and compliance.

  • Page 21: Air Filter Cleaning

    AIR FILTER CLEANING The product draws air from the left-hand side and expels it on the right. The intake air is filtered to remove the largest particles, so depending on environmental conditions the air filter as shown in Figure 8-1 and may need occasional cleaning. The outlet filter may also require attention.
  • Page 22: Oil Filter Cleaning

    OIL FILTER CLEANING The oil is filtered to prevent particles from entering the product, or to prevent particles from being returned to the transformer. Therefore, this filter may need occasional – cleaning. Figure 9-1 and Figure 9-2 show the oil filter housing and oil filter respectively. Note: A non-critical error in the product data file, such as error code 18 or 20 can be suggestive of such action.
