Notes:

  1. Minimum values of low-voltage windings for both single-phase and three-phase transformers are intended to limit the current.
  2. Low-voltage winding shall not have a BIL rating greater than 30 kVA.
  3. Efficiency values shall apply for the fundamental 60 Hz frequency only
  4. Reference winding temperature 75oC.

Requirements for the Energy Efficiency Report, as Listed in Schedule IV of the Regulations

  • type of product (dry-type transformer);
  • brand name;
  • model number;
  • manufacturer;
  • name of the organization or province that carried out the transformer verification and authorized the verification mark that will be affixed to the transformer;
  • kVA rating;
  • single- or three-phase;
  • low-voltage winding in volts;
  • high-voltage winding rating of
     (i) 1.2kV Class, or
     (ii) BIL 20-150 kV;
  • whether it is a three-phase with high-voltage windings and a voltage ratio that, between the highest and lowest of their rated voltages, is other than 2:1;
  • tested efficiency in percent;
  • the loss, in watts, when under load (load loss);
  • the loss, in watts, when not under load (no-load loss).

APPLIES TO

(a) is either single-phase with nominal power from 15 to 833 kVA or three-phase with a nominal power from 15 to 7500 kVA,

(b) has a nominal frequency of 60 Hz, and

(c) has a primary voltage of 35 kV or less

but does not include,

  • an autotransformer,
  • a drive (isolation) transformer, with two or more output windings or a nominal low-voltage line current greater than 1,500 A,
  • an instrument transformer,
  • a rectifier transformer,
  • a sealed transformer,
  • a non-ventilated transformer,
  • a testing transformer,
  • a furnace transformer,
  • a welding transformer,
  • an encapsulated transformer, or
  • a transformer with a nominal low-voltage line current of 4,000 A or more.
