Handling, Inspection, and Storage of Medium Voltage Line Filter Capacitors

Step 2:

Inspect the LFCs

Remove the top cover from the shipping crate, remove the capacitors (see Figures
2 through 4), and inspect the capacitors for damage – i.e. cracks or chips in the
porcelain bushings, impact or cracks in the LFC case, or leakage of oil.

WARNING: Do not handle the LFC by the bushings. The bushings are fragile.
Handle the LFC using the side mounted lifting/mounting brackets as shown in
Figure 2. Due to the weight of the LFC (approximately 150 lbs. / 70 kgs.), use
proper and safe lifting techniques, preferably with a lifting device or manually
with more than one person.
