Universal Tank Mount Frame

100kVA to 750kVA – designed to be installed safely in less than 30 minutes

Hiko’s low voltage universal tank mount frame (UTMF) builds on its extensive range of low voltage switchgear frames for transformers. The UTMF fits typical transformers including 100 to 750 kVA Etel Minipad, 200 to 500 kVA Hitachi / ABB Mini as well as the 300 and 500 kVA Tyree cubicle transformers.

Key to installing the UTMF and its universal fit is the two-rail system devised by the Hiko engineering team. These stainless steel rails are simply bolted to the mounting bosses on the transformer and the Universal frame is then lifted onto the rails where the open clamps on the frame make positioning easy. The frame is then secured in place with a long nut driver tightening the spring-loaded clamp bolts. Because of the tank mounting, there is no need to drill the concrete pad. This speeds up installation, but it can be bolted to the concrete if required. The earth bar is on the right-hand side close to the neutral bushing and earth stud, making it easier to connect the earth. This frees up access to the neutral bar for testing and results in a quicker install.
