Customer wondering why the panels are warm?

That pic is from an old building that has a transformer wired like that on every second floor.

Wonder if the same guys installed this one. Can you read the warning label on the panel? :laughing:

That's one thing I liked about IE.

You mean to zoom? You using Firefox? Hit "Crtl +"

I use Ctrl + sometimes. I just liked how IE had preset zoomies. There might even be an add on but it hasn't bothered me enough to look.

The Canadian Electrical code was changed due to this problem.
Following is quoted from the "CSA CE Code Handbook 2012" (C22.1HB-12)

"Rule 26-240 Transformers — General
Subrule (3) recognizes that the temperatures in the enclosure of an air-cooled (dry-type) transformer can exceed 30 °C, and the surface temperatures of the core-and-coil assemblies can exceed 90 °C. If the conductors enter the transformer enclosure through the top, conductor insulation and electrical equipment problems can occur from overheating. Conductors used to connect air-cooled (dry-type) transformers are not allowed to enter the transformer enclosure through the top, unless the transformer is marked to permit top entry."
