    Containment requirements for transformers with oil include:

    Secondary Containment: Installation of bunds or containment basins around the transformer to capture any oil leaks or spills.
    Leak Detection Systems: Monitoring systems to detect and alert operators to any leaks.
    Proper Storage: Ensuring that the oil is stored in leak-proof containers and that transformers are installed in areas with proper drainage and containment to prevent environmental contamination.
    Regular Inspections: Routine inspections of the transformer and containment systems to ensure they are functioning properly and that no leaks are present.
    Emergency Response Plans: Procedures for quickly addressing spills or leaks, including the use of spill kits and trained personnel.
