Hi all,

We are extending an existing transformer yard which is going into the 3.0 PSIG blast radius from a nearby plant (200 ft).

We are looking into placing blast walls but am curious if the post insulators, disconnect switches, liquid immersed power transformers can withstand that pressure.

We have no data available for this and hence getting some tips or directing me to any site may help.

The yard system nominal voltage is 72kV

Thanks
