Loads above 50 KW require a transformer and L.T. room.
The following points should be considered while planning the location of the
transformer place and L.T. room.
- Location of an electrical transformer/L.T. room, for a group of buildings, should be at the nearest convenient place on the ground floor.
- The floor level of the transformer/low tension room shall be above the highest flood level of the locality.
- The availability of nearby power lines may also be kept in view while deciding the location of the transformer/low tension room.
- In the L.T. Room, provision for cable trench, for passing cables from the transformer room should be provided.
- Plinth for the transformer should be constructed in rubble masonary, at the required height and size.
- The capacity of the transformer depends upon the load of the building.
- The load should be calculated from the electrical points in each flat and each building.
