The core and coil assembly is anchored to the enclosure through a vibration dampening system to reduce noise levels. Units through 600 kBA are provided with neoprene isolating pads while larger units are furnished with three layer rubber and cork pads. A flexible grounding conductor is installed between the core and coil assembly and the transformer enclosure.

Front accessible wiring compartments are approved for 90°C cable. Terminals are sized to carry the full current capacity of the transformers.

The major components that allow for this 220°C rating are Nomex® paper, resin-glass laminates, silicon rubber, and polyester varnish. This combination of materials and the care taken in construction and workmanship, not only give these transformers a long operating life, but helps insure their quiet operation.
