IEEE to Develop Power Transmission Standards - IEEE PC57.154, IEEE PC57.12.37a
May 31, 2009 // Published as a news service by IHS
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is developing two standards in the power transmission field.
IEEE PC57.154 - Standard for the Design, Testing and Application of Liquid-Immersed Distribution, Power and Regulating Transformers Using High-Temperature Insulation Systems and Operating at Elevated Temperatures will provide requirements and guidance in the design, testing and application of transformers incorporating high-temperature insulation systems or systems that use a combination of high-temperature and conventional insulation.
IEEE PC57.12.37a - IEEE Standard for the Electronic Reporting of Distribution Transformer Test Data - Amendment: Updating to Include Efficiency Fields will amend the existing standard, updating the definition to conform to U.S. Department of Energy efficiency levels.
IEEE also approved a revision to IEEE C57.12.23 - Standard for Submersible Single-Phase Transformers: 167 kVA and Smaller; High Voltage 25000 volts and Below; Low Voltage 600 volts and Below.
The standard covers electrical, dimensional and mechanical characteristics and certain safety features of single-phase, 60 Hz, liquid-immersed, self cooled, submersible distribution transformers.
