1. Safety guidelines
A cast resin transformer is an electrical equipment. It must be installed, protected and used in compliance
with the existing national and international Standards and Regulations. The possible improper installation
and use of a cast resin transformer may cause risks of electric shock or re.
Please, read this installation manually carefully before: lifting, moving or energising the transformer.
Every operation on the transformer must be performed when the transformer is not energised..
Before operating on the CRT, make sure that the transformer cannot be put under voltage without your
permission..
Do not energise the transformer before having connected the core to earth..
Do not energise the transformer before having carefully and completely inspected it.
Do not get close to the cast resin transformer before having connected the windings to earth.
Do not access the transformer operation area or remove the protection devices when the transformer is
under voltage..
Each transformer generates a magnetic eld. For this reason, any carrier of metallic devices as pacemakers
should not get closer than 3 m to an energised transformer.
This transformer must be installed according to the installation directions and preferably by a skilled and
qualied HV electrician.
Do not open, disassemble, alter or modify the transformer with the exception of special indications reported
in the Installation Manual.
All Legrand products must be opened and repaired only by personnel trained and authorized by Legrand.
Legrand is not responsible for any non-authorized opening or repair.
When moving the transformer or its components, always be aware of the risk of crushing.
When lifting the transformer, do not stand under suspended loads.

3. Rating plate
3.1 Conditions for the correct operation of the transformer
• Respect of all the instructions reported in this manual.
• Operation of the transformer in accordance with the rating plate data.
• Earth connection of the transformer with the correct terminals.
• Protection of the transformer against: chemical agents, pollution, atmospheric pollution, sun radiation, vegetation and
animals that could influence the normal operating conditions.
• Protection of the transformer against mechanical damages during installation and operation.
• Protection against overvoltages.
A rating plate showing nominal values and serial number is applied on each transformer.

Cast Resin Transformers
Installation, use and maintenance manual
During transport, the transformers must be adequately fixed as indicated in the explanatory images. HV and LV connec-
tions must not be stressed by the retaining straps.
4. Transport, receipt and storage
Any non-conformity must be recorded on the delivery note and notied to the forwarding agent or to Legrand.
It has to be verified that the data on the rating plate are the same data reported on shipping documents and test reports
of the transformer.
It has to be verified that each transformer is provided with contractual accessories such as rollers, temperature sensors,
control thermometer, etc. …
Once the transformer is at its destination, it is highly recommended to carefully examine it.
In particular the following details have to be verified: HV and LV terminals and connections, presence of scratches and/or
cracks on the windings of HV and their centering with respect to the windings of LV, integrity of the protection enclosure
(if present), presence of impurities, dirt, foreign body, moisture or water.

4.1 Lifting the transformer
Do not stand under suspended loads.
Move the transformer only in vertical position
Use all 4 eye bolts during lifting. Do not allow that the angle between the ropes to exceed 60°.The attachment point must
be at least equal to the distance between the eyebolts.
Gradually increase the tension on the lifting cables to avoid sudden shock or stress to the transformer.
If the transformer has a protective enclosure, remove the centre panel of the roof to allow the eyebolts to be attached.
max 45°

Cast Resin Transformers
Installation, use and maintenance manual
Lift the transformer avoiding improper lifting (that may cause it to tip over): be careful about the high centre of gravity
of the transformer.
It is forbidden to lift the transformer by inserting the forks of the forklift under the upper yoke of the core.
