Is the transformer dry type or oil-filled transformer, is it an open type or is it metal-clad, is it connected with a switchgear or the room is destined for transformer only?
For different clearance from live parts see IEC 61936-1 ed2.0
" Power installations exceeding 1 kV a.c. - Part 1: Common rules"
Minimum clearance phase-to-earth for 10 KV is 120 mm indoor and 150 mm outdoor. This is also the minimum distance
to keep from the live part to fixed barrier.
