Maybe the guy with the pointy ears is behind this?

Dam, I must be hard up for something to do!!!!!!!!!!!

Baseball is boring.

I'm too tierd to play guessing games.

Who, what or where is smock. Give us half a clue!

What do u mean by smock??

Putting a smock on a transformer could be a fire hazard which could produce smoke

No, no, no. The transformer is coming to smock. The transformer is the one in motion, not the smock. So the transformer is not likely to be connected to any significantly large power grid. Now maybe, just maybe, smock is a verb in this question and not a a noun. In that case the question asks what are the problems of transporting an uncovered transformer to the cover (smock, noun) that are waiting to be used to cover (smock, verb) the transformer. Presumably the cover is less massive than the transformer. So it will take more energy/effort and time to move the transformer. However, having a simple step in your process that must take a fixed amount of time in the final production run can be useful if this transport time could also be a curing time for something else.

All joking aside, this is just another cryptic question from a new CR4 user that likely has English as a second or third language. If rghatge76 comes back to us with more information, we will gladly help in answering the real question in their mind. Often just getting a person to properly state the question immediately solves the confusion and problem.

Welcome to CR4 rghatge76!

Ah, I stand corrected.

That having been said, if this transformer is going to be traipsing all over the countryside perhaps a smock is in order

rghatge76 - We are just having fun with some Friday morning CR4 humor.

By all means, come back with additional information and we will advise you on this.

"That having been said, if this transformer is going to be traipsing all over the countryside perhaps a smock is in order"

Yes, we mustn't have naked transformers traipsing. I think that was a line removed from the "Twelve Days of Christmas" song. The last line originally was "Twelve Smockless Transformers Traipsing..." but the mental imagery of scantily clad transformers running around the countryside was unhealthy for children.

These transformers don't need a smock.

Do you mean smoke?

Smoke, bad!

If so, this transformer is probably self-cooked (as opposed to self-cooled).
