Abstract
An assembly for mounting a transformer in a tank, comprising a top and bottom frame, the transformer being located between the top and bottom frames. A plurality of slots are disposed in a row in the top frame. L-shaped brackets are provided for securing the transformer to the tank. The brackets include a toggled end disposed on one end and a shear lug located interior of the toggled end. The toggled end and the shear lug are each disposed in one of the plurality of slots to secure the transformer with the tank. The plurality of slots allow relocation of the brackets along the top frame. A bore is also disposed in the L-shaped bracket. A mounting screw extends through the bore and through one of the plurality of slots in the top frame to further secure the top frame to the tank, the mounting screw maintaining electrical continuity between the top frame and the tank. The shear lug bears any lateral forces which would be otherwise received by the ground screw.
