Abstract
A tank, mountable to an opening formed within a mounting pad, includes a front plate, at least one sidewall panel, a pedestal base, and a cover. The at least one sidewall panel is coupled to the front plate to form the tank sides. The pedestal base is coupled to the front plate and a lower portion of the sidewall panels. The cover is coupled to the upper portions of the sidewall panels. The sidewall panels are configured into a first shape which forms a gap between the opening and at least one of the sidewall panels when the sidewall panel lower portions are positioned adjacently above the opening. The pedestal base is configured into a second shape where the outer profile of the coupled pedestal base and the front plate completely covers the opening when disposed over the opening. The tank encloses an electrical device and a dielectric fluid.
