This is a window looking into our transformer room. The window is made of a composite material called Pyroglaze. It is fire rated to withstand very high temperatures.
Inside the transformer room you can see the first of our transformers. It is a 1MW transformer and it is filled with oil (which is used for cooling).
The room is designed to take a total of three 1MW transformers.
The window serves as an inspection window for the transformer room, obviating the need to enter the room in the event of an incident which is a significant safety advantage.
