Transformers are one very essential aspect of our
everyday lives, as this equipment is responsible
to help us so conveniently get electricity within
our homes and offices. But, it is essential to
ensure that the transformers get smoothly and
correctly installed to ascertain proper
electricity usage, and several years of service
from the transformer. Following the best
practices, while also taking safety precautions,
is critical when installing a transformer. Thoroug

though a genuine transformer manufacturer will
always check every aspect of the transformer
before delivering it to the client, there could
be damages caused during transportation. It is
thus wise to check the transformer thoroughly
for any such damages after accepting delivery.
Any broken parts or loose connections must be
checked for. Also, any contaminants like water,
dirt, and moisture must be identified. If any
signs of equipment mishandling or damage is
encountered, a complained must be immediately
filed. Strict adherence to manufacturer
guidelines Depending upon the type and purpose, a
transformer can be installed in several ways.
For instance, a transformer to be installed at
ground level will have a different process than
one that needs to be installed on a concrete pad.
Similarly, a transformer to be installed inside
a facility will also have a different

process than one that needs to be installed
outside. One thus needs to be aware of, and
implement, the required procedures, along with
following safety precautions, when installing a
transformer. This, can be achieved successfully,
when the manufacturer guidelines are thoroughly
followed for each type of transformer
installation. If not done as per the guidelines,
it may lead to transformer damage, poor
performance, weak and risky electrical
connections, and at the worst, fire hazards or
damage to your appliances. Essential precautions
before setting the transformer live Once
installed, youre all set to go. But, hold on!
There are certain essential precautions that
need to be taken care of also before setting the
transformer live. You must ensure that the
grounding is in place, so that any static charges
can be eliminated. Ensure that there are no
breaks or gaps in the windings. The space
requirements must be adhered to, which is
specified by the manufacturer for installing
cables. Every protection requirement specified by
the manufacturer should also be followed. Also,
perform an insulation resistance test to assess
the transformers capability to accept the
applied voltage. finally, conduct a final
inspection of the transformer before sending it
live and energizing the unit. To conclude,
thorough inspection of the transformer after
delivery, following the manufacturers
guidelines, and taking care of every precaution
before, during, and after the installation is
essential for successful and error-free
installation of any transformer. But even before
that, comes the responsibility of purchasing the
right kind of transformer. Never should one
compromise on the quality of the transformer
only for a mere sum of money. One mistake during
the purchase can cause a huge mishap after
installation. It is thus always advised to
purchase any three phase or single phase
transformer in India from a genuine manufacturer
like Miracle Electronics. Here, every transformer
