Abstract

Transformer pits are conventionally filled with rocks in order to achieve passive fire safety in the event of an oil leak from the transformer. Other solutions also exist but there is no well defined test method that allows an assessment of the fire performance. In this brief article, such a test is presented together with test results for an alternative system where profile planks are used instead of rocks.
