Transformers are used to decrease voltages for services and can come as singles, in groups bolted separately, or as transformer banks bolted together. Transformers and transformer banks require a series of annotations, each with 3 clicks, and by default, they both work similarly:
The first marker should be placed at the top bolt.
The next marker is placed at the bottom of the equipment. This would be the lowest point of the transformer can itself. You will want to look out for situations involving a lot of parallax. Remember, equipment facing towards the camera operator will appear higher in the photo than it is in real life, equipment facing away from the camera will appear lower.
The third marker will be the lowest point of the drip loop. Again, watch for parallax here as it could affect your make ready clearances.
Depending on your pole loading software, you may or may not have specs for transformer banks. If not, you may use the transformer equipment type and should annotate each transformer can individually.
Katapult Pro should prompt you to input the transformer spec on the "bottom of equipment" marker. It's always a good idea to add this as you go but later in the process, Hardware Details will catch any missing specs and prompt you again then. Specs are required for pole loading analysis.
*If exporting to OCALC, a fourth marker will be included in the routine prompting you annotate at the center of the equipment.
Transformers are used to decrease voltages. In Katapult Pro transformers and transformer banks will require three annotations: at the top bolt, at the lowest part of the transformer can, and at the lowest point of the drip loop.
Transformers can come as singles, in groups bolted separately, or as transformer banks bolted together (shown here).
