1. This document provides design data and calculations for the design of a transformer foundation, including material properties, design loads, and checks for stability, overturning, and soil pressure. 2. Key dimensions of the foundation and transformer are provided, along with dead loads from the transformer, footing, pedestal, and soil.
For most substation equipment support structures and line support structures, the foundations are required to resist moderate shear forces and overturning moments. For A-frame and lattice-type line support structures, shear, uplift, and compression are typical design loads.
In the first case (A) of the new power plant foundation, according to design data prepared by the foreign design office, and delivered by the main contractor of the power plant building, the main boiler house foundation represented one large slab which equals 80×50 m in plane and it was from 1.8 m to 2.6 m thick.
Install anti-vibration pads if required. This approach ensures a stable, durable, and code-compliant foundation for transformers in any application. Designing a transformer foundation involves considering the transformer's size, weight, dynamic forces, and environmental conditions to ensure safety and stability.
