poles.
Conventional open ventilated dry-type
transformers have a bottom screen for air convection.
When transformers are mounted above the ground
surface a catcher plate should be installed under each
transformer as a safety precaution against any hot
particles that may fall through the screen in the event
of a faulted condition. Refer to Appendix B (page 8).
2) Sound Isolation Pads
All dry-type transformers have rubberized sound
absorbing pads mounted internally between the core
and coil assembly and the enclosure.
For maximum absorption of vibration and
emission of sound, additional sound isolation pads are
recommended for installation between the transformer
and the mounting surface.
These molded neoprene and steel plate
assemblies virtually eliminate vibration noise between
the transformer and the mounting surface.
Consult the manufacture's catalog for the part
number of the correct isolation pad required
3) Connectors
Connectors for the installation of dry-type
transformers are readily available. These connectors
are suitable for either copper or aluminum cable.
Connectors should be sized and installed in
accordance with your local electrical code
requirements using the best practices to ensure safe
and reliable operation. Cable surfaces should be
cleaned and electrical compound should be used for
all joints.
Selecting Connectors
a) Determine the primary current for the required
transformer from the Appendix A.
b) Similarly, determine the secondary current rating
for the transformer from Appendix A.
c) For 120/240 voltage connections the current
should be based on 240 volts.
d) For 240/480 volt connections, the current should
be based on 480 volts.
AMPACITY RATINGS FOR CONNECTIONS
A.
For a single phase transformer
Line Amperes = volt-amperes
B.
For a three phase transformer
Line Amperes = volt amperes
