The equipment should be individually packed onto treated wood or plastic pallets in a way
suitable for transport, in such a way as to avoid any damage to equipment. The packing should
be suitable for introducing equipment into standard transport industry containers. All additional
elements of the equipment should be packed into a single crate.

Transformers should be transported with their complete oil load and accessories in place. The
transformer should be completely secured in its packaging.

Wood should be treated according to international plague control requirements, avoiding

compounds dangerous to human health or the environment, such as “pentachlorophenol” and
“creosote”. The treatment should consider at least: high toxicity to xylophagous organisms, high
penetrability and staying power, chemical stability, and substances which are non-corrosive to
metals and which do not affect the physical characteristics of wood.

A visual inspection of the equipment will be carried out upon receiving it, checking for possible
damage occurred during transport and the warehousing process. In addition, the p
resence of the complementary elements should be verified (clamps, grounding bolt, fuses, etc.)
Packaging should be able to withstand the weight produced upon stacking up to 3 single-phase
and 2 three-phase transformers of normal capacity no higher than 150 kVA.

A list of the packaging brands should be submitted for the Client’s comments and final approval.
The country of manufacture should be included in the packaging information.

In case of several transformers with same insulation level, but different rated voltage levels, it is
possible to perform type and special test on only one transformer for each of the following
families, provided that the all transformers are made using the same technology.

• Family 1: Transformers with Um= 24 kV and rated power between 50 and 250 kVA, both
included.
• Family 2: Transformers with Um= 24 kV and rated power between 400 y 1000 kVA both
included.
• Family 3: Transformers with Um= 36 kV and rated power between 50 y 250 kVA both
included.
• Family 4: Transformers with Um= 36 kV and rated power between 400 y 1000 kVA both
included.

For other transformers, the manufacturer must demonstrate that the constructive method allows
to extend the validity of the above tests to the rest of the range or if additional testing is
required.
