This article analyses the damages transformers suffer due to handling and transportation that are considered most harmful to the equipment. The article identifes the types of damage and their causes, outlining special tests which should be performed during Factory Acceptance Tests and Site Acceptance Tests to help detect the non-visible damages that may have occurred.
