GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PF
MODULAR ENCLOSURES FOR
TRANSFORMER SUBSTATIONS
IG-021-GB
version 07
29.08.2008
Preferably, the truck used to transport the components should have a bed height no more
than 900 mm; there are two possible cases:
200/2015 Series panels
The maximum height of these panels when transported vertically is 3000 mm, enabling
them to be transported on low loaders up to 900 mm high without requiring a special
permit.
When this is not possible, a special transport permit should be obtained. In this case, the
truck bed height should be no more than 1400 mm, in order not to exceed the maximum
permitted height of 4500 mm.
300/3015 Series panels
[3]
The maximum height of these panels when transported vertically is 3,400 mm, as a result
of which they exceed 4000 mm in height both when carried on 900 mm high low loaders
and in other types of truck. Therefore, a special permit is required to transport them, and
the maximum permitted height of 4500 mm must never be exceeded.
3. INSTALLATION
Assembly and installation of PF TS must only be carried out by qualified personnel with
sufficient experience and training. All safety rules for unloading and handling elevated loads
must be observed. Operators must use the obligatory personal protection equipment,
helmets and protective footwear.
3.1. LOCATION
The site location should be defined exactly, indicating the levels of alignment and height to
reference points, such as: roads, kerbs, milestones, pavilions, fences, electricity pylons, etc.
It is recommended, although it is not essential, to get a drawing or sketch with the customer’s
letter head and stamp and/or signature, indicating these distances.
3.2. PLANNING
On the location sketch or drawing (or on another one), mark out the spaces available for the
crane and the transport truck.
In addition, indicate the existence of any circumstance or object that could impede or
obstruct the smooth operation of the installation (posts, cables, ditches, walls, pipelines,
etc.), marking their positions on the drawing with the corresponding measurements.
[3]
The maximum height limit for vehicles, including the load, is specified in the Spanish Royal Decree 2822/1998
dated the 23rd December, which approved the General Vehicle Regulations (Article 14, Annex IX).
