It is recommended to use a forced cooling system by Bowers Electricals Ltd 

(Figure 10) specially designed to ensure proper air circulation inside each 

coil  of a  three-  or  single-phase  transformer.  Forced  ventilation  can  be 

fitted  at Manufacturer’s works or after installation of the transformer at 

site. Please consult  Figures  11  and  12  and  Table  3  for  different  models
