Substation Transformer Standard Approved

subscribe

The IEEE has approved IEEE C57.12.36, Standard Requirements for Liquid-Immersed Distribution Substation Transformers, which covers selected electrical, dimensional and mechanical characteristics of these transformers.

It clarifies requirements for this class of transformers by combining selected distribution requirements from IEEE C57.12.34 and selected product specifications from IEEE C57.12.10 so users and manufacturers have a single location for all requirements.

The IEEE Standards Association, a globally recognized standards-setting body, develops consensus standards through an open process that brings diverse parts of industry together.

These standards set specifications and procedures based on current scientific and technological consensus. The IEEE-SA has a portfolio of over 870 active standards and more than 400 standards under development.

The heads of TransAlta Corp. and Capital Power Corp. are proceeding with strategies to convert existing coal-fired power generating facilities to use natural gas in the coming years.

Calgary-based TransAlta first announced in 2017 that it would make the switch,…
