the ground. Then securely attach both ends of the mounting stand (in the same manner

Direct Mount Cradle

The product can be directly mounted to the body of a transformer using the specially

designed GE Direct mount cradle as shown in Figure 7-4 (ordered separately). The cradle

reduces the effects of transformer vibration on the product and provides an alternative

space-saving secure mounting solution to the mounting stand. See Appendix K for

vibratory guidance on when the GE Direct Mount Cradle should be used. See Appendix L

for the Direct Mount Cradle installation instructions.

The cradle lock is distinct from the PGA lock and must be installed in addition to the PGA

lock, where the product is mounted to a transformer and then transported as a unit. This

is necessary for all mobile transformers (those that get moved from site to site), or in any

situation where the product is fitted to a transformer and then transported.

All locks must be removed prior to powering on the product to take measurements. All

locks must be refitted if there ever is a requirement to transport the product (or if the

product is ever to be laid horizontally). See Appendix M for more details on all locking

mechanisms and how to attach or remove the locks.
