Westinghouse Transformer Insulation Type
Westinghouse Transformer Insulation Type
(OP)
Hello:
We have Westinghouse Power Centers in one of our buildings. These centers have ASLR dry type transformers (12.47kV,500/666kVA, 150 degree C rise, Sharon Plant, 1978)). Recently one of these transformer caught fire and released a lot of smoke over a period of 1/2 hour. Our fire dept. did manage to extiguish the fire. Our environmental branch asked for a MSDS sheet detailing the insulation flash point and other info. In the absence of an MSDS sheet they asked for the insulation material type.
I was wondering if any one has any information on this type of transformer.
Thank you!

If they can't help, much of the old Westinghouse Services Division was absorbed by Siemens Industrial Services, they have a lot of the old Westinghouse drawings and project data archives.
