Merci, Antoinette!
| Thanks to you all. At this point however I think this is the best solution. I will wait a bit longer before closing the question to see if anyone else has any other comments to add. |

Hi Tony. I had rather assumed that this referred to removing the transformer oil, but 40 t corresponds to about 50 m^3, which is a lot of oil, and therefore a very big transformer. Maybe you're right. In the event of doubt (which there is), Bashiqa's "remove" solution is suitably neutral.

: I can't help thinking that they're talking rather about the mass of the trafo, which mustn't exceed 40 t if it is hanging from the lid...?

untanking weight
Core, coils and tank lid are the components of the transformer untanking weight. Such untanking takes place for inspection, maintenance or repair of power transformers.
