    A bit more information.

    <ul type=”disc”>

  • Storage, Transformers are stored in open outdoor areas, with the
    exception of some in Orari St and Ellis St that do actually sit in/on a
    bund.
  • We kind of know what oil is in them and have MSDS information on
    the oil.
  • I think Etel should actually identify what oil type/ model is on
    every Tx. If we get FR3 installed then they do label the Tx as such.
  • Many years ago, we often debated the bunding concept of Tx while in stock, New or Used, with some thinking they should be bunded, but we don’t bund them in the installation. So why in storage.

    When draining Tx for recycling, this is done in a controlled bunded area or in a workshop.
