    The document outlines isolation and oil drainage requirements for transformers. It states that circuit breakers or switches must be installed on both sides of the transformer to isolate it from the system and carry/break all phase currents. The linked switch on the primary side only needs to carry full load current and break magnetizing current, while the secondary switch carries full load and interrupts short circuits. Isolating devices must be accessible only to authorized persons. Transformers over 2,000L of oil inside buildings must have oil soak pits to contain spills. Soak pits can be under or outside the transformer room and must hold the full oil capacity of the largest transformer.

    3.5 Isolation- A circuit-breaker or a linked switch of requisite breaking


    capacity shall be installed on both sides of the transformer, unless specifi-
    cally exempted by the authorities, so as to carry and break the current on
    all phases and to isolate the transformer from both sides. The linked
    switch on the primary side of the transformer may be of such capacity as
    to carry the full load primary current and to break only the magnetising
    current of the transformer, provided the linked switch or circuit breaker :
    on the secondary side is of such a capacity as to carry the full load
    secondary current and interrupt the system short-circuit currents. All the
    isolating devices shall be placed in an accessible position for operation by
    authorized persons only ( see also 4.5).
    NOTE -The cases of exemption by authorities referred above relate to cases such as
    rectifier built-in transformers, furnace transformers, etc.
    3.6 Provisions for Draining of Oil - Transformers installed inside buildings,
    where the oil capacity exceeds 2 000 litres of oil, shall be provided with
    oil soak pits. Typical designs of oil soak pits are shown in Fig. 1. Oil
    soak pits may also be made of RCC tanks.
    3.6.1 For indoor transformers, oil soak pits shall be provided either under
    the transformer or outside the transformer room.
    3.6.2 If two or more transformers are installed side by side, they shall be
    separated by fire-separation walls. Fire separation walls are deemed to
    be adequate from fire-safety point of view, even if oil capacity of individual
    transformers do not exceed 2 000 litres, and total capacity of all transfor-
    mers installed side by side exceeds 2 000 litres.
    NOTE - Reference shall also be made to 4 of SP: 7 ( Part IV )-1970. and
    IS : 1641-19607.
    3.6.3 The capacity of the oil soak pit shall be such that to soak the entire
    oil content of the transformer, it is intended for individual soak pits for
    each transformer ( wherever necessary) with capacity as above or a
    common soak pit to contain the entire oil content of the biggest of the
    transformers shall be adequate.
    3.6.4 Soak pits shall be designed in such a way to provide for safe
    draining of liquids to soak pits.

    4. DESIGN

    4.0 The following clauses cover installation design features of transformers.


    Special requirements may have ‘to be complied with and special features
    might have to be built into the design of transformer by the manufacturer
    *National building code of India.
    tCode of practice for fire-safety of buildings (general ) : General principles and fire
    grading.
