Transformer Protective Cover

Built around the bushings and radiators, where loose covers tear

The problem it prevents

Transformers sit outdoors for months waiting for a substation to be ready.

Water sitting on bushings and in radiator fins causes problems that only show up at testing, when the whole project timeline depends on that unit.

A unit that fails its pre-commissioning test does not delay a delivery. It delays a substation.

Transformer bushings capped and taped against ingress before shipment

The bushings are capped separately from the body.

What it is

Transformers are heavy, awkwardly shaped, and are often stored outdoors or in unprotected yards before installation. Covers are made to the unit's profile, including the bushings and radiator projections, in materials chosen for the storage time and the exposure expected.

Key features

  • Made to the transformer profile including bushings and radiators
  • Suitable for long outdoor and yard storage
  • High tear resistance for handling by crane and forklift
  • Weather resistant and UV resistant material options

How we build it

The difficulty is the shape. Bushings and radiators are exactly where a loose cover tears and where water collects. We build the cover around those projections and add reinforcement where crane slings and forklift forks make contact.

Built to your specification

Every one of these can be changed for your application, and a sample is supplied for trial fitment before bulk production.
