and submerged in dielectric liquid from 3150 kVA

Transport 

3.  Transport

Despite the robust design and construction of the 

transformers manufactured by 

Ormazabal

, their integrity 

depends critically on the safety and protection measures 

taken during transport and unloading. The transformer 

can be severely damaged in these operations if shaking, 

vibrations, impacts or knocks above normal for goods of 

these dimensions and weight occur.

3.1.  Preparing the load for transport

The transformer must be fixed by means of slings, chains 

and other elements suitable for the mass of the transformer, 

as shown on its nameplate.

The protection tools and equipment provided or 

recommended by 

Ormazabal

 (

according to the agreement 

with the customer

), such as anti-vibration mounts and 

suitable elements for pulling (braces) or fastening the load, 

must be used for transport.

The transformer has specially designed lashing/fastening 

elements to secure it during transport/handling operations.

• 

Top fastening elements:

 when provided, there are 

four in total, located on the same structure as the 

lifting elements (Figure 3.1) It is essential that chains, 

hooks and pulling or lashing elements 

NEVER

 interfere, 

collide or exert force on the cooling fins or radiators. 

For this reason, they must be mounted at an angle 

that prevents the collisions or interference described.
