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.

HALIFAX - For the first time, electricity has been sent between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia through the new Maritime Link.

The 500-megawatt transmission line — which connects Newfoundland to the North American energy grid for the first time — was tested Friday.

"This changes not only the energy options for Newfoundland and Labrador but also for Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada," said Rick Janega, the CEO of Emera Newfoundland and Labrador, which owns the link.

"It's an historic event in our eyes, one that transforms the electricity system in our region forever."
