Requirements; Pre-Installation; Handling & Storage - GE Kelman TRANSFIX 1.6 Installation Manual

3 REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Pre-installation

Ensure that the mains selection switch in the product is set to the relevant voltage range.
The product can be safely connected to an energised or non-energised transformer.
However, if installation personnel are required to work in an energised environment they
must be made aware of this prior to work commencing and must observe all health and
safety practices, especially when working with conductive materials such as stainless
steel installation tubing. If either of the oil supply or return valves to be utilised brings
personnel within restricted approach boundaries then the transformer must be de-
energised and isolated before such work is performed.
To ensure success, careful planning and proper execution of the tasks outlined in this
manual are essential. In addition, the GE Customer Service Centre representative will
need specific information in order to provide recommendations for a trouble-free
installation. If GE is to perform the installation, the installation will not be scheduled until
all pre-installation tasks outlined in this manual are complete (as performed by the
customer and GE).
The appendices to this manual contain additional information, such as drawings, forms
and checklists that need to be reviewed and completed prior to the installation. This
relates to materials and facilities that need to be ordered, acquired and in place well in
advance of the scheduled installation date. Confirmation of this needs to reach GE as
soon as possible, at a minimum four weeks prior to the installation date, unless prior
arrangements have been made with the installation group. This aids in planning and
supporting the installation thereby ensuring a trouble-free commissioning process.
3.2 Handling & Storage
For short-term storage (defined as less than one week), it is acceptable to store the
products in the open air, provided that they are protected from wet weather and direct
sunlight by a suitable customer-supplied waterproof covering and also provided that the
outside temperature does not exceed 45 °C or fall below 0 °C. For storage periods
exceeding one week, customers are requested to store the product in a fully enclosed
building that is free from damp and extremes in ambient temperature (defined as above
30 °C or below 2 °C).
Note: TAPTRANS packages do not include a mounting stand top section, so are unsuitable for stacking.
Note: Customers are fully responsible for ensuring that stacked pallets are stable and, if necessary,
providing additional external support. Damage incurred as a result of poor customer handling or storage
will not be covered under the GE warranty.
