Is there any suggested anchoring component for Square D transformers?

Product Line:

Energy Efficient Transformers

Environment:

Low Voltage Transformers

Cause:

Documentation on what size anchoring component can be used on 225kVA EX transformers.

Resolution:

Due to the almost infinite variations in mounting locations, Square D/Schneider Electric cannot advise which specific anchoring components that are to be used external to our enclosures. Details required to mount a transformer in conformance with applicable Code requirements need to be specified by a local structural or civil engineer.

The knowledge of a building’s structural components, the features of a building’s locale, and familiarity the Code(s) which apply are the province of the customer’s engineer. The engineer will need to specify the anchoring components, housekeeping/vibration pads and any other components that might be part of the load path which restrains the installed transformer at its hard mounting points.

Our online drawings provide mounting dimensions, mounting hole dimensions, overall dimensions, unit weight and approximate center of gravity location.
