ERMCO safety standards for three phase pamounted transformers

ERMCO sets a new standard for safety in three phase padmounted distribution transformers. Our patented cabinet enclosure includes standard features that offer superior protection against arc flash hazard, back injury, torn clothing, and cuts or scrapes.

The following documents explain and offer instruction on transformer safety. The first summarizes the safety features of the ERMCO transformer. The remaining documents provide detailed information to support the summary document.

DOE 10 CFR Part 431 energy efficiency for liquid filled distribution transformers

The rule applies to certain single and three phase oil filled distribution transformers manufactured after January 1, 2010. Transformers manufactured prior to this date that are in inventory will not be affected.

ERMCO has prepared a document to assist utilities with proper wording to specify DOE energy efficient transformers.

ERMCO makes double stacking of single phase pads the standard shipping method

Double stacking is now the standard method for shipping ERMCO single phase pad transformers. In an effort to save our customers storage and handling expenses as well as to avoid a price increase that offset rising transportation costs, ERMCO has developed a unique patented method of double stacking single phase pad transformers.

• No special tools are required to disassemble the stack.
• It's a one person job that only takes minutes.
• The bracket can be recycled back to ERMCO.
