I searched this forum and was unable to find an answer to the following...
In 450.27 the NEC ask for space separations between oil filled transformers and buildings. How do you determine the proper distance? I checked the 2005 handbook, ANSI C2-2007 (which is referenced in the article) and found nothing. Our fire code expert was recenlty laid off due to the economy, but in his last report on a similar situation he used the IBC (table 602). I don't have a copy of the IBC but am obtaining one, is this the proper place to look for this information?
