IEEE Standard for Standard for Standard General Requirements for Liquid-Immersed Distribution, Power, and Regulating Transformers

Timothy L. O'Hearn, PE

Course Outline

This 5-hour course presents the electrical, mechanical, and safety requirements for liquid-immersed distribution and power transformers, and autotransformers and regulating transformers; single and polyphase, with voltages of 601 V or higher in the highest voltage winding. This standard is a basis for the establishment of performance, limited electrical and mechanical interchangeability, and safety requirements of equipment described; and for assistance in the proper selection of such equipment.

The course materials are based entirely on IEEE C57.12.00-2006, Standard for Standard General Requirements for Liquid-Immersed Distribution, Power, and Regulating Transformers. It will be necessary for the student to obtain a copy of IEEE C57.12.00-2006. This is a very useful resource and is recommended that all practicing electrical or project engineers involved in the specification, design, installation, and maintenance of liquid-immersed distribution, power, and regulating transformers should be familiar with and up to date with the requirements provided in this standard.

This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
