P980 - Guide for Containment and Control of Oil Spills in Substations

This guide discusses the significance of oil spillage in electric supply substations; identifies the sources of oil spills; discusses typical designs and methods for dealing with oil containment and control of oil spills; and provides guidelines for preparation of a typical spill prevention, control and mitigation plan. This guide applies only to non-polychlorinated biphenyl (non-PCB) insulating oil. It is not the intent of this guide to interpret governmental regulations or the applicability of the oil-containment systems presented with respect to compliance to those regulations. Interpretation is left to each individual user.
