Benefits of technology

This patent describes a transformer casing that has a hinged cover that doesn't have to be opened very high, making it lighter than other covers. The front and side panels can also be opened more fully because of hinges on an additional side panel. This allows air to flow through while still giving a technician access to the components inside the cabinet.

Problems solved by technology

Routine maintenance on transformers can be difficult due to the side panels and covers that must be moved out of the way.

Abstract

A transformer casing is disclosed that allows access to the front and side of the transformers while providing a lighter cover.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 794,251, filed Mar. 15, 2013, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention is generally directed toward a cabinet for transformers.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Routine maintenance on transformers can be difficult due to the side panels and covers that must be moved out of the way.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]We disclose a padmount transformer casing having a hinged cover that does not have to be opened as high as other covers. The cover, therefore, is lighter than conventional covers. The front panels and side panels are also able to open more fully than traditional cabinets due to hinges located along an additional side panel. This allows sufficient airflow while allowing a technician to access the components within the cabinets.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS[0005]Further advantages of the inv...
