Issue:
Received a transformer with the core strap broken Part number EXN112T3H
Product Line:
LV Transformers
Environment:
Applies to all Low Voltage Transformers by SquareD/Schneider Electric
Cause:
Broken transformer Core strap assembly
Resolution:
Those bands hold the core during production and are not necessary once the tie bars are installed.
The plant usually leaves them in place since there is no need to remove them.
They also get weak during shipment
But yes, they can be removed and discarded, being careful not to get cut on a sharp edge. When doing this, we strongly suggest that the operator has gloves and safety glasses on during removal and disposal.
