Three Phase Transformer With the Shroud Removed

We were having issues with power where I work, so I snapped some photos before the electricians got back.

P.S. sorry for potato quality.

There's no banana for scale

sorry, no bananas in the electrical room. The whole thing is probably 5'x5'x5' including the shroud.

there are lots of connectors, wires and electrical boxes, I estimate not more than a 15 kva continous duty

Props for someone actually using deductive reasoning

Not a bad guess at all. The Transformer currently supports about 350 KW at 240V on the low side. High side is 480V.
