The document discusses mounting line traps directly on top of capacitor voltage transformers (CVTs) using Trench's line trap pedestal mounting arrangement. This reduces space requirements in substations while facilitating electrical connection between the two units. Trench assumes specific load and force calculations to ensure safety, maintaining a minimum safety factor of 2, and will perform calculations for specific mounting combinations to advise suitability.

strength of Trench’s Capacitor Voltage Transformers and Trench’s air core Line Trap unique Line Trap Pedestal mounting arrangement allow most Line Traps to be mounted directly on top of the Capacitor Voltage Transformer or Coupling Capacitor. Pedestal C/W stainless steel Hardware supplied This type of mounting scheme re- by Haefely Trench duces space requirements in most substations, while facilitating the electrical connection between the Line Trap and CVT. The mechanical connection between the two units also serves as the electrical connect- ion.
In assessing the suitability of this
mounting scheme, Trench assumes a 300lb. (136kg) horizontal terminal load at the top of the CVT. Also, specific wind load and electrody- namic forces are calculated. A minimum safety factor of 2 on por- celain breaking strength is main- tained in all calculations. Typical Trench Due to the plurality of Line Trap Line Trap mounted on and CVT designs, it is not practical a Trench CVT or CC to list all possible mounting com- binations. Please consult Trench for specific mounting requirements. Trench will perform all calculations and advise suitability in each case.
