Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse the structure of a transformer subjected to the seismic impact, determine the state of critical stresses on the structure, but also to ensure that the structure remains undestroyed after the impact of seismic forces. The numerical calculations, in particular those related to the structure load states, were based on the standard: IEEE Std 693-2005, IEEE Recommended Practice for Seismic Design of Substations.
