Turnkey transformer relocation service - professional

Transformers are not only equipment weighing tons but also the “heart” that supplies lifeblood to the entire plant. A safe relocation requires experience, high technical expertise, and specialized equipment.

The question is: How can you relocate and install transformers without disrupting production while ensuring absolute safety?

This article will give you an in-depth look at the professional transformer relocation process, helping your business overcome this challenge as smoothly as possible.

2./ Situations that require relocating the transformer

Hoisting the new transformer into position

In the course of a business’s development, relocating transformers can arise from many reasons:

  1. Expanding production scale: As the business grows, increased power demand requires purchasing additional, higher-capacity transformers.
  2. Relocating factories: Moving production and business facilities to a new area.
  3. Upgrading technology: Replacing old transformers with more modern equipment.
  4. Optimizing production space: Rearranging the factory layout to increase operational efficiency.
  5. Requirements from regulatory authorities: Complying with new regulations on electrical safety and the environment.

Mr. Nguyễn Văn Minh, Thibidi Technical Department, shared: \"Over our 10 years of experience, we have seen many businesses delay relocating transformers because they worry about production downtime and technical risks. In reality, with a professional process, the relocation can be completed quickly within 1 day and with absolute safety.\"

3.1. On-site survey and assessment

The first and most important step is a detailed site survey. Tiến Phát’s technical team will:

  1. Accurately determine the size, weight, and technical specifications of the transformer (how many kVA)
  2. Assess the transport route from the old location to the new one, or from the container unloading point to the transformer installation position
  3. Check obstacles, pits, accessibility, and the required height of the mounting pedestal (how many cm).
  4. Determine the vehicles and equipment needed for the relocation process.

Important note: A thorough survey helps develop an optimal relocation plan, minimizing power outage time and ensuring absolute safety.

3.2. Developing a detailed relocation plan

Based on the survey results, we develop a relocation plan that includes:

  1. List of equipment and vehicles to be mobilized (crane trucks, forklifts, semi-trailers, etc.)
  2. A detailed schedule for each implementation stage
  3. Measures to ensure occupational safety and electrical safety
  4. Procedures for dismantling, packing, transporting, and re-installation
  5. Contingency plans in case of special or unexpected situations

3.3. Dismantling and preparing for transport

Before proceeding with the relocation, the transformer needs to be thoroughly prepared:

  1. Completely disconnect the power and implement electrical safety measures
  2. Disconnect electrical and mechanical connections according to the technical procedure
  3. Drain insulating oil (if necessary) and store it properly
  4. Pack and protect sensitive components
  5. Secure and fix the transformer on the lifting equipment

Engineer Trần Văn Hùng, Technical of GEX Group in VietNam said: “The dismantling process requires meticulousness and strict adherence to technical procedures. Each type of transformer has its own characteristics, and the technical team needs to have experience to handle it correctly.”

3.4. Safe transportation

Transporting the transformer to the factory location

This is a step that requires smooth coordination and specialized equipment:

  1. Use specialized cranes to lift and lower the transformer
  2. Transport using trailers and trucks suitable for the weight and size
  3. Securely fasten to avoid impacts and vibrations during transport
  4. Choose the optimal route, ensuring clearance and safety
  5. Adhere to appropriate speed, especially when passing through populated areas

3.5. Positioning and operational testing

After arriving at the new location, the installation process is carried out meticulously:

  1. Accurate positioning according to technical drawings
  2. Installing electrical and mechanical connections according to standards
  3. Thoroughly checking the cooling and insulation systems
  4. Conducting electrical safety tests
  5. Trial operation to ensure the transformer operates stably

Important: Mayxaydungvn always has engineers supervising the entire process and only hands over when the transformer operates perfectly.

4./ Challenges in relocating transformers and solutions

4.1 Challenges related to the weight and size

Industrial transformers typically weigh from 1 ton to several dozen tons depending on KVA, with bulky dimensions. Moving them requires specialized equipment and special lifting techniques.

Mayxaydung's solution: We own modern crane trucks from 5 tons to 200 tons, specialized trailers, and hydraulic jacks, ensuring safe handling of all types of transformers.

4.2 Challenges related to the installation location of the transformer

Relocate the transformer to a platform 20cm high

Transformers are often placed in separate rooms, narrow entrances, and positioned on platforms 10 - 20 cm high. Therefore, moving the transformer into position is a significant challenge for units without expertise in transformer relocation.

Solution from Mayxaydungvn: The technical team surveys the site meticulously, devising a detailed plan. For rooms where the transformer cannot be accessed by crane, a manual relocation plan must be developed, using hydraulic jacks to lift the transformer onto the platform.

4.3 Time Challenges

Many businesses are concerned about the prolonged downtime when relocating transformers.

Solution from Mayxaydungvn: With over 10 years of experience, we optimize the process, working 24/7 if necessary to minimize relocation time, reducing the impact on production activities.
