Handling of Our Products

1. Installation site Use condition of our transformers is "standard use condition"defined in Standards. Please confirm that installation environment is appropriate to use condition before installation.

Below is abstract from section 3, JIS C 1731, issued by Japanese Standards Association.

Standard condition for use

1. Ambient temperature : between - 20℃ and 40℃. (average temperature: less than 35℃)
2. Altitude : less than 1000m.
3. Place does NOT conform "special condition" as below.

Special condition for use

1. Places where exposed by sea breeze, rain, snow, and sunlight.
2. Places where moistness, excessive water vapor, and dew may occur.
3. Places where oil vapor, explosive fumes, flammable gas, hazardous gas, and corrosive gas occur.
4. Places where excessive foreign matter and dust exist.
5. Places where abnormal vibration and shock may happen.
6. Use under other special conditions.

 * Please confirm us when your installation place is "special condition for use.

2. How to install
   1. Do not apply load of cable/bus bar etc. on products when installation.
   2. Separate primary lead wire and bus bar, except connecting terminals, from mold surface to avoid corona occurrence.
   3. Connect secondary lead wire to terminal correctly. Do not get close to mold surface.
   4. Work wire connection accurately according to terminal marks, wire drawing on name plate etc.
   5. Connect terminal of primary grounding side of earthing voltage transformer to ground surely.
   6. Connect terminal of secondary grounding side and frame for installation of main unit to ground surely.
   7. Tighten up bolts and nuts to fasten cable bus-bar and lead wire etc. for sure.
   8. For wire size, use appropriate material and wire diameter for circuit voltage and rated current.
   9. Use appropriate wire size for crimping terminal. Use of inappropriate wire size will cause burnout and fire.
3. Maintenance/inspection Maintenance and inspection are necessary to operate transformer safely and to prevent accident from occurring. It is recommended to operate maintenance and inspection based on JEM-TR 164 "Guideline for maintenance and inspection of transformer", issued by The Japan Electrical Manufacturer's Association(JEMA).
   1. To have daily check minimum of 1time/month is recommended to detect abnormal sound, abnormal odor, abnormal noise, abnormal overheat, corrosion, and undue defacement.
   2. Cut power 1time/year at least, inspect regularly and mainly current-carrying part where daily checking can not cover. Confirm no abnormality of apparent condition/looseness of iron core, screws, bolts etc. Clean up surface with dry cloth before insulation performance evaluation by insulation resistance measurement.
4. Recommended renewal period of products Recommended renewal period is determined in "Guideline for maintenance and inspection of transformer", JEM-TR 164, issued by The Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association(JEMA). We recommend to renew based on this guide line. Below recommended renewal period is premised on having daily and periodical checks.
