Embodiment Construction

[0060]The illustration in the drawing is schematically.

[0061]FIG. 1 shows a transformer chamber 1 with an explosion safe tank 2 in a perspective view. The transformer chamber 1 surrounds an oil-filled transformer 3 only the top of which is visible. Air may flow through a first opening 4 into a cooling channel system of the transformer chamber 1, where it may absorb heat generated by the oil-filled transformer 3. The hot air may then leave the cooling channel system of the transformer chamber 1 through a second opening 5.

[0062]The bottom section of the transformer chamber 1 up to the height of the first opening 4 may be formed as an oil pit 6. Leaking oil from a damaged oil-filled transformer, e.g. after an explosion of the oil-filled transformer, may be collected within the oil pit 6. An explosion plate 7 made of aluminum may work as a predetermined breaking point and may reduce the damages in case of an explosion of the oil-filled transformer 3.

[0063]An upper side of the transforme...

Abstract

A transformer chamber for a wind turbine is described. The transformer chamber includes a liquid-tight tank for receiving a liquid-filled, in particular oil-filled, transformer, a wind turbine structure component includes a component bedframe adapted for receiving such a transformer chamber and a wind turbine includes such a transformer chamber and such a wind turbine structure component. Furthermore, a method for assembling a wind turbine is described.
