Transformer in Toilet Room
Transformer in Toilet Room
(OP)
I have a 60 KVA transformer that is being hung below a supspended acoustical ceiling. The install will be in a single occupancy, non-public, ADA restroom. The overall clearances are there, and the bottom of the unit will be above 7'-0" AFF, but is there any conflict with installing in this room since it will be above a sink? thanks

The room with the transformer will have a toilet and sink.

I don't think it would violate the NEC, but seems like a really poor place for it.

General public? Are you going to have people who pass their idle time with rubber bands and paper clips trying to shoot paper clips in the opening at the top?
Will it need tamperproof screws? Can I take a cup of water and throw it inside the transformer?

It's not a code issue, but there has be another alternative. Maybe break it down into two smaller panels and put the transformers up in the ceiling space where they belong.

You realize how much waste heat is going to pour out of that 75KVA? That room may get, (unacceptably),toasty.
I cannot begin to imagine a wall that wasn't designed for it supporting a 445lb transformer.
And the wall sound-boarding of the acoustical noise.

Hey, one good aspect; it will limit the amount of "study time" spent on the throne! I would want to finish my business as quickly as possible and be out of there!
