GSU Transformer Clearances
GSU Transformer Clearances
(OP)
Hi,
We are replacing GSU transformers. The new ones are taller than existing. I am wondering if anybody is aware of issues related to GSU tansformers clearances to the HV line.
The new transformers contain also more gallons of oil. I am wondering if anybody is aware of issues related to the oil containment curb.
Thanks,
Yigo.

RE: GSU Transformer Clearances
Oil containment is generally sized to contain the entire volume of oil for the largest transformer in the yard. But this is not a Code issue in the US. You generally don't even have to have oil containment - just have a plan (and money) to deal with the consequences of a spill.
