3. TRANSPORTATION
Distribution transformers are shipped completely sealed. Core and coils are assembled in a
tank with the insulating liquid covering the coils.
This method of construction preserves the quality of insulation, the cooling and insulating
liquid by preventing contamination from external sources.
3.1 TRANSPORTATION BY TRUCK
The transformers must be tightly secured at the top and bottom on the truck. At the bottom
by nailing down the base for the rollers or carriage. Fixed rollers should be clamped. The top
of the transformer must be tightly secured via the lifting lugs or via special transport clamping
lugs. If securing straps are used, make sure they do not pull on the lips or lip reinforcements.
