12. Check that the LV terminal box internal face of the cover is
provided with a metallic plate with the schematic diagram of
windings and of their terminal markings.
13. Check that the terminals in terminal block in LV terminal box is
non-captive pan head screw type.
14. Check the external earthing copper conductor connected of
240mm2 connected to metal base.
15. Check earthing secondary windings and cable screens.
