Receiving A Transformer And Installing It Correctly - Miracle Electronics

A transformer’s performance and success depends highly upon how it is designed and how it is installed. The design should be prepared well in advance keeping every aspect in mind by experts; the best quality materials should be used; and every care should be taken to install the transformer properly. Every transformer comes with a manufacturer’s guide that thoroughly describes the installation and testing procedure; and it is crucial to follow these guidelines to ensure safety to both the equipment and the personnel.

Acceptance testing

Before the transformer is shipped to you, it is important that you contact the transformer manufacturer in India to know about the acceptance tests that need to be followed. Every test comes with a specific objective that describes the transformer’s applicability for various uses.

Packaging inspection

Once you have received your transformer, the very first step is to check the packaging first, before even taking it out of the truck or any other vehicle that it is delivered to you in. If the packaging itself is damaged, you must return it immediately, or speak to the manufacturer as to what should be done about it.

Unloading and handling the transformer

Every transformer has a different weight, size, and mechanical configuration; and these aspects decide upon how the transformer should be handled – how it should be removed from the vehicle, how it should be lifted, and how it should be moved. Make sure your unloading people are well aware of all these things, and are capable of handling the transformer with care.

Deciding upon the location of installation

Before you plan on opening up your package and installing your transformer, it is essential that you choose a proper location that is apt for the installation, one that fulfills all the safety codes without affecting the normal movement of the equipment, material, or personnel. The location you choose must keep the transformer prevented as much as possible from harsh environmental factors like rain, wind, and heat; and also exposure to any kind of damage from trucks, cranes, or moving equipment.

Inspecting the transformer

Now that you have unloaded your parcel, and have also decided upon the location where your transformer should be installed, you are all set to go. But, hold on! Before you blindly install the transformer, it is absolutely crucial that you inspect your transformer thoroughly. Any flaws, defects, or errors in the transformer can be repaired or replaced there and then by speaking to the manufacturer. Once you install the transformer, this option may have lesser chances. However, if you have partnered with Miracle Electronics, there would be zero worries about any damages or errors, as they are the most reputed and experienced transformer manufacturer in India, who has been successfully manufacturing and delivering a variety of transformers to clients across the globe.

Installing the transformer

So, everything’s right, and you’re all set to install the transformer. It is absolutely important to carefully abide by the guidelines mentioned on the nameplate or on the connection diagram. Other than this, be very careful while considering the grounding of your transformer, as it is extremely important to eliminate the static charges that may accumulate. You must also safeguard the transformer windings so that it does not accidently get in touch with the core or enclosure. Also, after installing the transformer, do a final inspection to check for every assembling and connection.
