2. TRANSPORT, RECEPTION, UNPACKING
AND STORAGE
2.1. Transport
The transformer shall be transported in
the position indicated by the
manufacturer in an appropriate
packaging.
In general, the CVT with maximum
voltage up to 245 kV is transported in a
wooden box containing the assembled
base unit (EMU and CD). For CVT above
245 kV, the equipment is transported in
such a way that the upper modules of
the CD are separated from the lower
module and EMU but transported in the
same package together with all the
necessary hardware for the assembly of
the complete unit (see 5.1). The CD
modules must be placed in an upright
position. Depending on the product
version, OTCF-245, OTCF-420 and OTCF-
550 may be transported at horizontal
position. Even for these cases, the units
cannot be stored in a horizontal
position for more than 4 months. It the
time of transportation and storage
exceeds this period, it is mandatory to
unpack and put the transformer in a
vertical position, anchoring its basetank
to the ground.
The user must carry and handle the CVT
carefully. The correct shipping position is
marked on the packaging as shown in
the following examples.
Example of vertical packaging
Example of horizontal packaging
IMPORTANT: The OTCF must always be
transported with the top modules
disassembled from the EMU. When
originally it was transported in
horizontal position, all components in
an upright position, apart from versions
that are transported in a horizontal
position. Also, it shall be transported in
its original packaging or in an
appropriate packaging.
OTCF vertical packages cannot be
stacked. For horizontal packages, the
stack limit is one.
