Transformer Wrench

[Peter Plein]

Does anyone know where I can purchase a five sided socket or wrench so I can
open utility pad mounted transformers. I need to do this to conduct a
infrared inspection. www.certifiedinfrared.com

Have you tried asking the utility for the wrench? After all, it is their
transformer.

The bigger question is... are you qualified to do this? Are you trained to
work in proximity to medium voltage conductors and do you have the
appropriate personal protective equipment and knowledge of how to use it?

There is a reason for those bolt heads!

The transformers I want to open are usually owned by the facility I'm
