ANSI C57.12.13

Description / Abstract: This standard covers conformance tests and requirements for liquid-filled transformers. Such transformers may be remotely or integrally associated with either primary and secondary switchgear or substations, or both, and rated not greater than 2500 kVA, with voltages not exceeding 38 kV (35-kV voltage class). Insulating liquids are limited to those specified in ANSI/IEEE C57.12.00-1980 unless otherwise noted herein.

This standard does not cover the following types of liquid-filled transformers:

(1)Overhead-type distribution transformers, including those mounted in surface enclosures

(2)Pad-mounted compartmental-type transformers as described and defined in the following standards:

American National Standard Requirements for Pad-Mounted Compartmental-Type Self-Cooled Single-Phase Distribution Transformers with High-Voltage Bushings (High-Voltage, 34 500 GrdY/19 920 Volts and Below; Low-Voltage, 240/120; 167 kVA and Smaller), ANSI C57.12.21-1980

American National Standard Requirements for Pad-Mounted Compartmental-Type Self-Cooled Three-Phase Distribution Transformers with High-Voltage Bushing (34 500 GrdY/19 920 Volts and Below; 2500 kVA and Smaller), ANSI C57.12.22-1980

American National Standard Requirements for Pad-Mounted Compartmental-Type Self-Cooled Single-Phase Distribution Transformers with Separable Insulated High-Voltage Connectors, High-Voltage 34 500 GrdY/19 920 Volts and Below; Low-Voltage, 240/120; 167 kVA and Smaller, ANSI C57.12.25-1981

American National Standard Requirements for Pad-Mounted Compartmental-type Self-Cooled Three-Phase Distribution Transformers for Use with Separable Insulated High-Voltage Connectors, High-Voltage, 24 940 GrdY/14 400 Volts and Below; 2500 kVA and Smaller, ANSI C57.12.26-1975

(3) Subsurface or submersible-type transformers as described and defined in the following standards:

American National Standard requirements for Underground-Type Single-Phase Distribution Transformers, with Separable Insulated High-Voltage Connectors, High Voltage 24 940 GrdY/14 400 Volts and Below, Low Voltage 240/120, 100 kVA and Smaller, ANSI C57.12.23-1978

American National Standard Requirements for Underground-Type Three-Phase Distribution Transformers, 2500 kVA and Smaller; High Voltage 24 940 GrdY/14 400 Volts and Below; Low Voltage 480 Volts and Below, ANSI C57.12.24-1982

American National Standard Requirements for Secondary Network Tranformers, Subway and Vault Types (Liquid Immersed), ANSI C57.12.40-1982

(4) Rectifier transformers

(5) Mobile transformers

(6) All transformers for use in ships and other watercraft, railway rolling stock, aircraft, and automotive vehicles other than mobile home and recreational vehicles

(7) Transformers used in mines

(8) Transformers installed in railways for the generation, transformation, transmission, or distribution of power and used exclusively for operation of rolling stock, or transformers installed in railways and used exclusively for signaling, or communication purposes

(9) Instrument transformers

(10) Step-voltage regualors and induction voltage regulators

(11) Arc furnace transformers

(12) Transformers installed with communication equipment under the exclusive control of communication utilities, located outdoors or in building spaces used exclusively for such installations

(13) Transformers that are used under the exclusive control of electric utilities for the purpose of communication or metering, or for the generation, control, transformation, transmission, and distribution of electric energy and that are located in buildings used exclusively for such purposes or located outdoors on property owned or leased by the utility, or on public highways, streets, roads, etc, or by established rights on private property
