Hello Guys,

I am tasks to put inside to an offshore conatiner the following equipment: High Volatege transformer, Control Cabinet where the high volgate connetion must be terminated, and Fans for the air-cooling of the equipment.

My problem are the available space. What would be the standard clearance that is considered to be safe from each of my equipment? like what woul be the safe distance and what particular standard that I must read for me to make sure that my equipemnt lay out will be approved by the DNV during Testing and Certification. This is my first project and I am kind of new in this job.

I hope you will helpme guys.
Thank you so much.

What voltages are your "high volt" transformer leads and connections?

How the high volt sides shielded, or are they "open copper" within the box?
