Package, Transport And Storage; Disposal; Voltage Transformer Handling - ABB TDO 6 Instructions For Installation, Use And Maintenance Manual

7. Package, transport and storage

Admissible temperature range for storage and transport of voltage
transformers is -40°C to +70°C. Voltage transformers must be
protected from exposure to direct sunlight during transport and
storage. Voltage transformers shipped for domestic customers
are packed in wooden crates or according to customer's
specification. Voltage transformers shipped for abroad customers
are packed in wooden crates. Voltage transformer should be
shipped in position according to symbols and marks indicated on
its packing case and protected against weather conditions. They
should be stored in dry and clean places, protected from direct
exposure to precipitation and solar radiation

8. Disposal

Materials used in instrument transformers are considered as
materials without dangerous environmental impact and materials
are not toxic. Disposal of instrument transformers is controlled by
national legislation of communal waste.

9. Voltage transformer handling

Voltage transformers equipped with eye bolts may be handled by
means of chains and crane. Screw the eye bolts directly to the
U profile or the baseplate and attach to the crane's hook using
chains. This handling method is recommended for the majority
of voltage transformers equipped with baseplate and weight
exceeding 25 kg, mainly types: TDO 6, TJO 6, TJO 7, VOG-24,
VOL-24, VOL-40.5 (see figure 17).
