This article describes the disassembly and repair of oil-immersed self-cooled, oil-immersed air-cooled, and forced oil-circulation air-cooled transformers, as well as the maintenance of dry-type transformers. Figure 1 shows the oil-immersed self-cooled and oil-immersed air-cooled transformers. Transformer structure.

Preparation work for transformer overhaul
- Personnel Organization
The preparation of personnel, tools and consumables, the specific number of personnel should be determined according to the actual situation - Conduct a comprehensive survey of the main transformer
Conduct a comprehensive survey of the main transformer:
① Reasons for overhaul
②Last overhaul report and remaining issues
③Recent maintenance report, test report, oil chemical test report
④Main transformer 3 years operation record
⑤Operation record of on-load tap-changer and no-load tap-changer maintenance test report
⑥Model parameters of main transformer, on-load external switch and main accessories, shape and size of main key components
⑦Whether there is a renovation project, if so, a renovation plan should be made
