ABSTRACT:
A pad for supporting a transformer is described, which comprises: a molded polymer body having front, rear, left and right surfaces, canted top surfaces, a sill adapted to engage a transformer cabinet door, and a pedestal to support and elevate a transformer tank. In one embodiment, the sill is formed integrally with the body, the sill being generally U-shaped, including a front section and left and right side sections and extending between about 0.5 and 6 inches above said top surface of the body. The pedestal may also be formed integrally with the body, the pedestal being generally rectangular in shape, incorporating transformer mounting flanges, and extending between about 0.5 and 6 inches above said top surface of said body. The body includes a first opening inside of the sill capable of allowing the passage therethrough of electrical cables for connecting the transformer, a second opening sized to provide drainage for a portion of said canted surface that is under the transformer and within the boundaries of the pedestal when the transformer is in place on said pad, and canted surfaces surrounding the sill and pedestal that provide drainage off of the exposed top surfaces of said pad.
