Above 40 MVA, the submerged electric transformer must be fitted with a recovery tank with a capacity of at least 20% of the quantity of dielectric fluid contained in the transformer, usually equipped with an EXTICOV™ or LHD® type extinguishing blanket to guarantee rapid, natural extinguishing of the liquid dielectric fluid should the oils become trapped in it. This recovery tank must be connected to a separate storage tank, commonly known as a "remote pit", with a capacity at least equal to that of the highest-capacity transformer, when it is common to several transformers.
Description of the DEPOSIT-MV standard range:
Double-walled, fiberglass-reinforced: robust, reliable and corrosion-resistant.
Pressure gauge to detect any leak or loss of watertightness. In the event of a rupture in one of the walls, the pressure drop between the two thicknesses enables the problem to be identified from the surface.
Connections to the network are made using either nozzles (concrete, steel-cement), flanges or sleeves. Other types of connection can be studied according to your needs. The size of these connections and their diameter can be adapted on request to enable you to handle any water flow.
Standard pits are available in single volumes from 10 to 80 m3.
