IEEE Guide for Tank Rupture Mitigation of Liquid-Immersed Power Transformers and Reactors

Measures that may be taken to help mitigate tank rupture of energized liquid-immersed power transformers and reactors due to internal electrical faults are described in this guide. The release of insulating fluid or insulating fluid mist due to failure of the following components are not covered in this guide: load tap changer compartments, bushings and their turrets, conservator tank, piping, valves, pumps, and radiators.
