Answer / rajeshsan
There are many reasons for using gravel stones of 60mm size below transformer. Few are:-
1. During oil spillage from transformer or during sprinkler system act the water draining from soak pit it will be easier.
2. To avoid the grown of grass and entry of animals etc.,
3. To reduce the step potential
You can please refer the NFPA 850 for details.

because reduce the step potential while short circuit timing
Is This Answer Correct ? | 8 Yes | 10 No |
Answer / suresh babu
first to prevent the stagnent of water under the transformer
second vibration withstand
third low resistivity i mean rock stones forms low
resitivity path

What will be the impact on motor performance if a LT motor is rewound with changed motor winding data as given below:- Original winding data: total 04 wires = 02 wires of 17 SWG + 02 wires of 16.5 SWG. Changed Winding data: total 03 wires of 15.5 SWG wire size Motor rating: 160KW, 740RPM, 415V, ID FAN application. Normal Running Current = 95% of FL Current.
we all know that corona is nothing but ionization of air around the conductor and there by allowing current to pass through ionized air.but we are not getting any short circuit in between the respective phases though the air turned as a conductive media between them??

We normally make oil soak pits under Transformers. Oil from soak pit goes to collection pit. We provide granules/pebbles under transformers. My question is weather granules/ pebbles to be filled in soak pit or not? if yes upto what level?
