It's basically up to the AHJ. Oil filled transformers are more reliable, but you may have to use a nonflamable oil in a basement application. They may also generate less heat and noise. Subpanels will typically use the dry type of transformer if needed. e,g, a Machine Shop or if some weird voltage is required for imported equipment. |
