Auxiliary Transformer Seals

Additional Information

(Contact us to receive information in hardcopy form.)

 

Problem:
Auxiliary transformers contain oil.  During an abnormal event, oil can flow down conduits and enter the substation basement.

SRE Solution:

Auxiliary Transformer Seals are installed with a patented process using foam and caulk materials preventing oil leakage into cable space and by nearby equipment.  The conduit firestop also provides a seal against damaging contaminates such as dirt, yard stone, and water.  If oil filled equipment is within 10 feet of a building, be safe and prevent leakage!

 

The below picture depicts the aftermath of an auxiliary transformer fire.
