Good luck because windings may be aluminum.

there may be a reason why it looks like it's built like a tank........outdoor pad mounted distribution transformer
aluminum windings would be the least of the problem. if my quick search info is correct the cs-csp is a rating for oil-filled transformers
above the tag in the picture is a pipe plug
heres a close-up of the tag info
I guess I should have said I have no plans on buying this. I just thought it was interesting

agree 100% on the interesting part, thats why i tried to dig a little deeper for more info about itOriginally Posted by ron22
1440 pounds tagged as the shipping weight.....what they dont show in the picture or description is what kind of oil
is in this beast, old school with pcb's or the newer stuff.
either way the oil becomes the bidders headache when the auction ends
some more info about pcb's in old transformers : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_oil

From the document at this link: http://www.nj.gov/drbc/library/docum...ansformers.pdfthere may be a reason why it looks like it's built like a tank........outdoor pad mounted distribution transformer

It looks like this transformer could contain PCBs. First two digits of the serial number indicate it was manufactured in 1969. Third character indicates it was not manufactured at a plant that did not manufacture pcb containing devices. (You'll probably have to read that sentence a couple times for it to make sense.)
Copied from the document:
(Since the Jefferson City, MO plant was opened after 1972, any
pre-1972 transformer with a letter other than “A” as the third digit
cannot be assumed PCB non-contaminated.”)
