Accessories Checking
Check all the accessories are available
Cross arms
Lightening - Arresters
Insulators
Drop out or Cut out Fuse( with proper Fuse Links)
Earthing rods & copper conductors.
Fused Box ( with proper HRC Fuses)
Conductors
And other accessories as show on the picture
Check all the accessories are in appropriate size and rate
The rating of Lighting arrester, drop out fuse and HRC fuse
has to match to the transformer rate.

Erection
Pole Selection(for wooden pole)
Pole Erection
The pole shall be plant 2m deep.
The diameter of planting hole shall be kept minimizing but not lessthan50 cm.
The H-pole shall be exact plumb (i.e. Absolutely vertical)
Both the pole shall be buried to exactly at the same level(not as shown on the
picture)
Properly Stamped according to the nature of soil
Installation of transformer cross-arm
It has to be erected at height of 2.2m from ground level.
It shall be fixed on poles exactly horizontal.
The level shall be checked with spirit level.
Contd
Installation of drop-out fuses.
It shall be erected at least a height of 7.2 m from ground.
It shall be checked for proper alignment and matching.
It shall also be connected to earth wire provided
Installation of Surge Arrestors
It uses to protect the transformer against lightning over-
voltage.
They are three in numbers and connected at the top of the Hpole structure.
The earth terminal at the bottom of all the three lightning
arrestors are joined together and connected to the earth wire
provided.
