SOAK PIT
1.0.0
1. To size 1 no. Soak pit for 4 nos. GTs of capacity 50 MVA each.
2. To size one no. Soak pit for 1 GT of capacity 50 MVA and 2 Power Transformers
of capacity 31 MVA each.
2.0.0
To size one no. Soak pit for 2 Tie Transformers of capacity 37.5MVA each.
CONSIDERATIONS
3 nos. soak pits have been considered in the transformer yard. The capacity of each
soak pit is calculated taking the largest transformer oil capacity.
3.0.0
DESIGN DATA
Soak pit 1 (Located on the western side of s/s28 Building):
Rating of Generator transformer is assumed as follows:
Rating : 50 MVA
Rating : 50 MVA
Rating : 31 MVA
Soak pit 3 (to be located near the tie Tie Trafo yard suitably):
Rating of Tie transformer is assumed as follows:
4.0.0
DESIGN CRITERIA
Soak pit volume shall be 125 % of the oil volume of the largest transformer.

CALCULATION
H1
1
Soak pit 1:
Soak pit volume
= 1.25 * 18000
H2
= 22500 litres
If the drain pipe (150-mm dia.) from the transformers individual oil pits are to be
connected to the soak pit with a slope of 1 in 100.
H1
For a volume of 22.5 cubic meter, assuming length as 4.5 m and breadth as 3.5 m
H2
= 22.5/(4.5 *3.5)
= 1.43 metre.
= H 1 + H2
= 0.65 + 1.43
= 2.08 metre
= 1.25 * 18000
H2
= 22500 litres
If the drain pipe (150-mm dia.) from the transformers individual oil pits are to be
connected to the soak pit with a slope of 1 in 100.

SOAK PIT
For a volume of 22.5 cubic meter, assuming length as 4.5 m and breadth as 3.5 m
= 22.5/(4.5 *3.5)
= 1.43 metre.
Total height of soak pit
= H 1 + H2
= 0.65 + 1.43
= 2.08 metre
Soak pit 3:
Soak pit volume
= 1.25 * 29000
= 36,250 litres
If the drain pipe (150-mm dia.) from the transformers individual oil pits are to be
connected to the soak pit with a slope of 1 in 100.
H1
For a volume of 36,250 cubic meter, assuming length as 5 m and breadth as 4.75 m
H2
= 36.250/(5x4.75)
= 1.53 metre.
= H 1 + H2
= 0.23 + 1.53
= 1.76 metre
SUMMARY
Soak pit sizes are thus calculated.
