1. A rupture resistant system, comprising: a tank comprising a single-piece top member, a sidewall member and a bottom member;a component situated within the tank and susceptible to creating increasing pressure within the tank when under a fault condition, wherein the top member is connected to the sidewall member and the sidewall member is connected to the bottom member, each in a manner to decrease weld stress pressure and so as to cause an increase in inner volume of the tank under increased pressure conditions, wherein the single-piece top member comprises a top plate and surfaces extending perpendicularly from the top plate to define an overlapping portion wherein an inner portion of the overlapping portion overlaps an exterior of the sidewall member about a complete perimeter of the tank; anda radiator coupled to the tank, wherein the radiator comprises an inner panel, an outer panel, and a spacer coupled to the inner panel and the outer panel, wherein the spacer is configured to detach from the inner panel or the outer panel under increased pressure conditions, wherein the inner panel comprises a rear surface, and wherein the outer panel couples to the rear surface of the inner panel. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the component is a transformer. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein the radiator is configured to increase an inner volume under increased pressure conditions. 4. The system of claim 2, wherein the top member, the bottom member, or both are connected to the sidewall member using at least one joint that facilitates the top member and the sidewall member to flex outward to increase the inner volume of the tank while remaining connected. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein the top member comprises a curved member extending over a portion of the sidewall member. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the joint comprises a flange extending from the sidewall member and at least one weld. 7. The system of claim 4, wherein the bottom member extends beyond the sidewall member, the sidewall member includes a bevel facing away from the tank, and the at least one joint between the bottom member and the sidewall member comprises a full penetration weld. 8. The system of claim 2, comprising at least one support beam coupled to the bottom member to reduce bending of the bottom member under increased pressure conditions. 9. A transformer system, comprising: a transformer;a transformer tank housing the transformer and comprising a single-piece top member, a sidewall member, and a bottom member, wherein the single-piece top member is connected to the sidewall member and comprises a top plate and surfaces extending perpendicularly from the top plate to define an overlapping portion, wherein an inner portion of the overlapping portion overlaps an exterior of the sidewall member about a complete perimeter of the transformer tank and the sidewall member is connected to the bottom member, each in a manner to decrease weld stress pressure and so as to enable an increase in inner volume of the transformer tank under increased pressure conditions;a radiator comprising an inner panel, an outer panel, and a spacer coupled to the inner panel and the outer panel, wherein the spacer is configured to detach from the inner panel or the outer panel as the radiator increases in volume under increased pressure conditions; anda header pipe connecting the radiator and the transformer tank, wherein the header pipe comprises a flow restrictor configured to reduce the flow of a fluid between the tank and the radiator during normal operating conditions. 10. The transformer system of claim 9, wherein the top member, the bottom member, or both are connected to the sidewall member using at least one join that facilitates the top member and the sidewall members to flex outward to increase the inner volume of the transformer tank while remaining connected. 11. The transformer system of claim 9, wherein the inner panel couples to the header pipes and the outer panel connects to the inner panel such that the inner panel and the outer panel flex outward to increase the inner volume of the radiator under increased pressure conditions. 12. The transformer system of claim 11, wherein a cover member is provided to keep the radiator in a sealed condition after the spacer detaches from inner panel or the outer panel. 13. The transformer system of claim 11, wherein the inner panel and the outer panel are connected by a circumferential joint. 14. The transformer system of claim 9, wherein the header pipe is configured to permit sufficient flow of gas from the transformer tank to the radiator under increased pressure conditions. 15. A rupture resistant system, comprising: a tank comprising a single-piece top member, a sidewall member and a bottom member;a radiator comprising an inner panel and an outer panel connected to the inner panel such that the inner panel and the outer panel flex outward to increase an inner volume of the radiator under increased pressure conditions, and a spacer coupled between the inner panel and the outer panel, wherein the spacer is configured to detach from the inner panel or the outer panel under increased pressure conditions;a header pipe connecting the tank to the radiator; anda component situated within the tank and susceptible to creating increasing pressure within the tank when under a fault condition; andwherein the single-piece top member is connected to the sidewall member and comprises a top plate and surfaces extending perpendicularly from the top plate to define an overlapping portion wherein an inner portion of the overlapping portion overlaps an exterior of the sidewall member about a complete perimeter of the tank and the sidewall member is connected to the bottom member, each in a manner to decrease weld stress pressure and so as to enable an increase in inner volume of the transformer tank under increased pressure conditions. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein a cover member is provided to keep the radiator in a sealed condition after the spacer detaches from inner panel or the outer panel. 17. The system of claim 15, wherein the inner panel and the outer panel are connected by a circumferential joint.
