(OP)
Where can I find guidelines as to what rating transformers require how much spatial separation to avoid blast walls.
Thanks.

RE: Transformers - Fire separation - Blast walls
I am looking for some guidelines like transformer rating vs separation required between the transformers. In addition similar guidelines for fire-resistant barriers (blast walls) and fire suppression systems.
I have referred IEEE Std 979 Guide for Substation Fire Protection, IEEE 850 and NESC. But the guidelines are a bit general.
In India, there are guidelines issued by TAC (Tariff Advisory Committee of Insuarance compenies). But, the place I work now there is no such institution. Hence, I am looking for any such European or American guidelines.
Thanks.

The code has a table, Transformer oil volume vs required separation distance and is exactly the info I was looking for.
Surprise that the same is not available in IEEE codes!

The separation prevents spread of transformer fires to adjacent units or critical buildings.
Same information is found in some Factory Mutual Engineering guidleines. Both of these organizations are insurance companies.
