mxslick: Thanks for the reply. I know that transformers (all transformers?) produce heat in some manner, which, I assume, increases proportionally with the load imposed on it. I guess I didn't realize that these big boys produced that much heat.

Glad to hear that all this is being relocated to the OUTSIDE of the building! The picture reminds me of one posted some time ago where a single transformer was sitting on a wood pallet in the bottom of a concrete pit and covered with an old piece of plywood [Linked Image].
