5.1
Unloading, lifting by crane
GEAFOL/CARECO transformers must be lifted by the lifting
lugs provided on the upper core frames (Fig. 5.1). The
transformer must be lifted and transported with four indi-
vidual chain strands in the correct angle.
The instructions on the labbels at the lifting lugs must be
observed (see Fig. 5.2, 5.3). If the transformer is delivered
with the housing fully assembled, the relevant information
on the housing must be observed
CAUTION!
Do not push or pull on the high-voltage windings or their
connecting tubes.
5.2
Transport by road and sea
The transformer is designed for accelerations of 10 m/s2 or
1.0 g in all directions during transport. For this purpose,
the transformer must be fixed as described below.
To fix the transformer on the loading area, use an anti-slip
mat or fix the transformer at the crossbar on the floor of
the loading area. Tension belts must then be attached to
the lashing eyes of the upper press frame from the inside
(see Fig. 5-4).
The tensioning straps must not be in contact with the win-
dings of the transformer or the rejections. When
tightening the tensioning straps, make sure that the ten-
sion is applied evenly to the opposite tensioning straps.
CAUTION!
Pulling on the tensioning straps from one side can gene-
rate a permanent skewing of the transformer!
