Indoor oil insulated transformers should be separated from other areas by fire barriers and installed in a vault or transformer room. Larger transformers over 100 gallons of oil or rated over 35kV require stronger fire barriers without suppression and can be reduced with suppression. Groups of large transformers require a 3-hour barrier and suppression.

i. Capacitor units located indoors, which contain flammable dielectric fluid, should be separated from adjacent areas by a 3-hour fire-resistance-rated barrier. ii. If a transformer is to be indoors, dry type (Air-cooled) transformers are recommended to be installed indoors. iii. When oil-filled equipment or transformer is installed indoors, it should be installed in the transformer /Capacitor vault or room. iv. Oil insulated transformers having more than 100 gal oil capacity shall be separated from adjacent areas by 3-hour fire-resistance-rated fire barriers without a fire suppression system and 1-hour fire-resistance-rated fire barriers if protected with automatic fire suppression as per Table 14.1.b. v. Oil insulated transformers having a rating of more than 35 kV shall be separated from adjacent areas by 3-hour fire-resistance-rated fire barriers without an automatic fire suppression system and 1-hour fire-resistance-rated fire barriers if protected with automatic fire suppression as per Table 14.1.b. vi. Where multiple oil insulated transformers having more than 100 gal oil capacity are installed adjacent to each other in a group, the group shall be separated from adjacent areas by a 3-hour fire-resistance-rated fire barrier and automatic fire suppression shall be provided as per Table 14.1.b.
