Standards relevant to transformers – Part I

P. Ramachandran ; ABB

Abstract

Standards are formulated to meet the generally recognised demands, minimum performance and safety requirements, as well as to make sure that the product from different manufacturers is similar and consistent. A survey is done on the evolution of national standards for transformers and of the range of IEC / IEEE standards available today for transformer engineers. Of course, standards are dynamic and are under continuous revisions and additions. Hence, no claim is made that the listings provided are the latest or include all relevant standards connected with transformers. A listing of standards, if made, as in this contribution in groups – viz. Application guides, Specification, Testing, Transformer Oil, Accessories, Raw Materials, Installation, Operation, Maintenance and Protection, with relevant IEC and IEEE standard numbers for each subject – will be useful as a quick reference for transformer engineers engaged in the selection, procurement, manufacturing, testing, installation, operation, maintenance, and protection of transformers. A list of CIGRE technical brochures relevant to transformers is also included.
