Transport
General instructions
transforma
.bst-pm: Distribution transformers, hermetically
sealed, immersed in dielectric liquid from 16 to 100 kVA
(single-phase) / from 25 to 315 kVA (three-phase)
3.2. Transport agents
All agents, companies and personnel involved in
transporting and handling the transformer must
demonstrate preparation, training, procedures and
experience in the transport of heavy equipment and
equipment susceptible to damage due to violent transport
conditions, and must count on suitable accreditations and
certificates in order to drive the means of transport used.
3.3. Selecting the route for road transport
The route chosen for road haulage must be the one with
the best conditions for transporting heavy loads which are
sensitive to damage from impacts, bangs, vibrations and
accelerations.
Routes that reduce the effects of accelerations, vibrations,
impacts and bangs caused by winding roads, changes of
gradient and the cant of the road should take precedence
over shortest distance.
As far as possible, priority should be given to the highest
category of motorways with minimum slope, maximum
linearity and best road surface condition.
The transformers are prepared for transport on flat, paved
roads without significant potholes.
As a general rule, a "pothole" is understood as any deficiency
in the terrain greater than 200 mm, whenever the terrain
has angles of attack of less than 30° (i.e. no abrupt changes).
On uneven road sections, transport speed should be
reduced in order to ensure the load does not suffer sudden
acceleration and deceleration.
Traffic and transport rules in the corresponding
country must be respected in all cases.
If transport for the transformer is to include road
surfaces that are not asphalted, the customer must
indicate this circumstance in the order sent to
Ormazabal
. Following this communication, the best
solution for transport will be decided between the
customer and
Ormazabal
.
