SOAK PIT

1.0.0

1. To size 1 no. Soak pit for 4 nos. GTs of capacity 50 MVA each.
2. To size one no. Soak pit for 1 GT of capacity 50 MVA and 2 Power Transformers
of capacity 31 MVA each.

2.0.0

To size one no. Soak pit for 2 Tie Transformers of capacity 37.5MVA each.

CONSIDERATIONS
3 nos. soak pits have been considered in the transformer yard. The capacity of each
soak pit is calculated taking the largest transformer oil capacity.

3.0.0

DESIGN DATA
Soak pit 1 (Located on the western side of s/s28 Building):
Rating of Generator transformer is assumed as follows:

Rating : 50 MVA

Oil capacity: 18000 litres.( As per BHEL Recommendation )

Soak pit 2 (Located on the Eastern side of s/s28 Building):

Rating of Generator transformer is assumed as follows:

Rating : 50 MVA

Oil capacity : 18000 litres.( As per BHEL Recommendation )

Rating of Power Transformer is assumed as follows:

Rating : 31 MVA

Oil capacity: 12500 litres .( As per BHEL Recommendation )

Soak pit 3 (to be located near the tie Tie Trafo yard suitably):
Rating of Tie transformer is assumed as follows:

4.0.0

Rating : 37.5 MVA

Oil capacity : 29000 litres.( As per BHEL Recommendation )

DESIGN CRITERIA

Soak pit volume shall be 125 % of the oil volume of the largest transformer.

CALCULATION
H1
1

Soak pit 1:
Soak pit volume

= 1.25 * 18000

H2

= 22500 litres
If the drain pipe (150-mm dia.) from the transformers individual oil pits are to be
connected to the soak pit with a slope of 1 in 100.
H1

= 0.15 + (1/100)*50, where 50 is the distance of

soak pit from the transformer oil pit
= 0.65 metre

For a volume of 22.5 cubic meter, assuming length as 4.5 m and breadth as 3.5 m
H2

= 22.5/(4.5 *3.5)
= 1.43 metre.

Total height of soak pit

= H 1 + H2
= 0.65 + 1.43
= 2.08 metre

Dimension of Soak pit 1 (L * B * H) is 4.5m * 3.5m * 2.08 m

Soak pit 2:
Soak pit volume

= 1.25 * 18000

H2

= 22500 litres
If the drain pipe (150-mm dia.) from the transformers individual oil pits are to be
connected to the soak pit with a slope of 1 in 100.
H1

= 0.15 + (1/100)*50, where 50 is the distance of

soak pit from the transformer oil pit

SOAK PIT

For a volume of 22.5 cubic meter, assuming length as 4.5 m and breadth as 3.5 m
= 22.5/(4.5 *3.5)
= 1.43 metre.
Total height of soak pit

= H 1 + H2
= 0.65 + 1.43
= 2.08 metre

Dimension of Soak pit 1 (L * B * H) is 4.5m * 3.5m * 2.08 m

Soak pit 3:
Soak pit volume

= 1.25 * 29000
= 36,250 litres

If the drain pipe (150-mm dia.) from the transformers individual oil pits are to be
connected to the soak pit with a slope of 1 in 100.
H1

= 0.15 + (1/100)*8, where 8 is the distance of soak

pit from the transformer oil pit
= 0.23 metre

For a volume of 36,250 cubic meter, assuming length as 5 m and breadth as 4.75 m
H2

= 36.250/(5x4.75)
= 1.53 metre.

Total height of soak pit

= H 1 + H2
= 0.23 + 1.53
= 1.76 metre

Dimension of Soak pit 2 (L * B * H) is 5m * 4.75m * 1.76m

SUMMARY
Soak pit sizes are thus calculated.
