IEEE STD C57.12.01-1998: STANDARD GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DRY-TYPE DISTRIBUTION AND POWER TRANSFORMERS INCLUDING THOSE WITH SOLID-CAST AND/OR RESIN-ENCAPSULATED WINDINGS

IEEE STD C57.12.01-1998: STANDARD GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DRY-TYPE DISTRIBUTION AND POWER TRANSFORMERS INCLUDING THOSE WITH SOLID-CAST AND/OR RESIN-ENCAPSULATED WINDINGS
IEEE standard C57.12.01-1998 on distribution transformer

Abstract: Electrical, mechanical, and safety requirements of ventilated, nonventilated, and sealed dry-type distribution and power transformers or autotransformers, single and polyphase, with a voltage of 601 V or higher in the highest voltage winding, are described. Information that can be used as a basis for the establishment of performance, interchangeability, and safety requirements of equipment described, and for assistance in the proper selection of such equipment, is given.

Introduction: This standard, together with its companion standards documents, represents a new milestone in standards for dry-type transformers, which are becoming increasingly more important with the elimination of askarel insulating fluids in new transformers. This standard is the result of an effort encompassing the interests of users, manufacturers, and others dedicated to producing voluntary consensus standards primarily for dry-type transformers.

This revision was developed to recognize dry-type transformers with solid-cast and resin-encapsulated windings. The Working Group that developed the revision identiÞed requirements for IEEE Std C57.12.01-1989, incorporating dry-type transformers with solid-cast and resin-encapsulated windings in 3.1 through 5.10, 5.12, and 6.52 of this standard. In addition, new materials and coil design techniques necessitated a revision that recognizes factors that differ from conventional design of dry-type transformers.

Previous editions of this standard used a constant 30 ¡C difference between hottest-spot and average winding temperature rises for a kVA range from 1Ð20 000 kVA. Since the last revision of this standard, a Working Group reviewed hottest-spot and average temperature-rise data. Several manufacturers of different transformer designs conducted extensive test programs.

The Working Group concluded that the difference between the hottest-spot and average temperature rise was dependent on the size and design of the transformer. For some large transformer designs the difference may exceed 30 ¡C, however, for small units, the difference is considerably below 30 ¡C. The Working Group recommended a constant ratio of hottest-spot to average winding temperature rise for the various insulation temperature classes.

This approach improves harmonization with international standards such as IEC 60050-726:1982. The revision of this standard clarifies the requirement that hottest-spot temperature rise is a performance criteria to be met by the manufacturer. Calculation of hottest-spot temperature rise is required by this revision; however, future study is planned to develop test procedures to verify hottest-spot temperature rise.

PARTS OF A POWER TRANSFORMER

What are the name of the basic parts of a Power Transformer? We can not deny the fact that only a handful of electrical engineering students are presently familiar with power transformers especially on what it looks like. Unlike a transformer we found in our homes, a power transformer’s appearance and construction is somewhat more complicated. It is not just a simple winding with a primary and secondary terminal although basically any transformer has one. The function that a power transformer plays in an electrical system is very important that an electric utility can not afford to loss it during its operation. Our discussion here will focus more on the basic parts and functions of a power transformer that are usually tangible whenever you go to a substation . Although not all power transformers are identical, nonetheless they all have the following listed parts in which the way of construction may differ.

ELECTRIC MOTOR NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS

How do we interpret an electric motor nameplate? Motor standards are established on a country by country basis.Fortunately though, the standards can be grouped into two major categories: NEMA and IEC (and its derivatives). In North America, the National Electric Manufacturers Association (NEMA) sets motor standards, including what should go on the nameplate (NEMA Standard MG 1-10.40 "Nameplate Marking for Medium Single-Phase and Polyphase Induction Motors").

DISADVANTAGES OF Y-Y CONNECTION IN THREE PHASE SYSTEM

What are the disadvantages in using y-y connection? The Y-Y transformer connection was poorly understood in the early days of power engineering and it received a very bad reputation when it was first used; in fact, this connection was avoided for a long time until its limitations were overcome by good engineering practice. Some of the inherent disadvantages of the Y-Y connection are discussed below:
