A tank for use in liquid filled transformer or reactor comprises a pair of substantially parallel flat side plates 1a, a pair of substantially semi-circular end plates 1b connected to respective ends of the side walls, and reinforcing members, which may be in the form of gas chambers or beams, having end portions 10 connected to the tank near the joints between the flat side plates and the semi-circular end plates and disposed to be tangential to the end plates. This construction decreases the stress at the joints thus making it possible to decrease the thickness of the tank plate. <IMAGE> |
