Abstract :
This 100,000-kva transformer, product of the Westinghousc Electric Corporation, is said to be the largest self-contained unit of its type ever built. The complete unit stands 21 1/2 feet high, weighs 124 tons, and required 185,100 pounds of steel for its construction. In order to ship it in an ordinary flat car, the oil-cooled transformer had to be turned on its side and its radiators and bushing removed.
