Hello All,

  I have a question about securing the large transformers (large green
boxes) to the slab they sit on.  The power company says it does not bolt
these to the slab even though the box  does have bolt flanges at the bottom
for bolting.  I'm trying to find something (code or otherwise) that states
the requirement to actually use the supplied bolt holes to secure the
transformer to the slab.  The power company just says that because it weighs
2,000 lbs it's not going anywhere and thus they don't bolt it.  I guess
using that rationale then we don't need to bolt houses down to the
foundation.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.
