Assembly
WARNING:
This pod contains voltages in excess of 650Vac. Follow appropriate
safe working practices to ensure that all hazards are minimised. All
connecting cables should be disconnected prior to opening the pod.
Transformer Pod Removal
It is important to keep the contents of the pod dry; hence any major work
conducted on the pod should take place in a dry workshop. Great care should
be taken when working with this pod, as there are electronic modules and
cabling attached to the underside of the top-cap.
To remove the pod from the frame:
1. Firstly ensure the power is removed from the system, and appropriate
action is taken to prevent accidental energisation,
2. Remove all the cables from the pod’s connectors,
3. Remove the nuts on the back of the ‘U’ shaped clamps round the vessel of
the pod,
4. Remove the clamps from the vessel,
5. Move the pod in from the side, so that it is not under the side bars of the
frame,
6. Check that all the top-cap bolts are present and tight,
7. With an appropriate hoist positioned in from the side of the frame, attach
the hook to the lifting eye, hoist the pod up and lift it out of the frame.
If the pod is to be opened simply to perform visual inspection of cabling or any
other such operation, the pod can be left clamped to the frame, and the top-
cap removed for access. Any more serious problems such as replacement of
the transformer require full removal of the pod to a dry workshop.
Warning: The Power pod is very heavy. Always use appropriate
lifting apparatus and follow safe working practices to ensure that
all hazards are minimised.
