Abstract

A container arrangement for power transformers that are constructed from individual components. The components are releasably connected to one another in such a way that simple mounting/demounting and separate transportation is made possible. At least some of the components are arranged in containers, wherein each container contains a predetermined type of components in such a way that the components necessary for intended construction variants of the power transformers at the use location are contained in a corresponding selection of containers. This renders possible the correct and efficient mounting of power transformers.

Claims (8)

1. A method of mounting a power transformer as a temporary replacement for a failed transformer, the method comprising:

in a first step, determining a construction variant of the power transformer to be assembled at a use location;

subsequently selecting certain containers in accordance with the construction variant determined in the first step;

dispatching the selected certain containers and remaining components to the use location; and

mounting the power transformer in the predetermined design variant at the use location; and

performing the step of mounting the power transformer in the predetermined design variant at the use location before removing the failed transformer.

2. The method according to claim 1 , which comprises placing and arranging the containers at the use location to thereby minimize cost and complexities of a mounting operation.

3. The method according to claim 1 , which comprises: after the power transformer has been mounted and is functioning, replacing the failed transformer with a transformer.
