care is taken to ensure a level and secure mounting configuration;
the product is mounted within 5 degrees of plumb and level on both axes;
the product is mounted in such a way as to support the total weight of the
product;
the product is mounted to an area of the tank body with minimum vibration,
such as close to a corner or the stiffeners;
guidance on inlet and outlet oil supply lengths and configuration is followed.
If mounting to the body of a transformer, GE’s recommendation is to do so with
the top half of the GE-supplied mounting stand. If there is concern about
extreme vibration on a transformer, GE strongly advises against mounting the
product to the body of a transformer. Furthermore, should damage occur to
the product that is attributable to the mounting arrangement and/or excessive
transformer vibration, such damage will not be covered under warranty. Care
should be taken at all times to ensure that damage does not occur to the
transformer or the product during installation.
The chosen location should take account of the potential requirement for
testing an onsite water deluge system (if applicable), such that the product is
not located in the direct line of water jets. While the product provides IP55-level
water spray protection, a water deluge system could exceed IP55 thresholds
depending on the location, pressure and direction of the water jets. See the
relevant product User Guide for further recommendations around testing a
water deluge system.
