Six Month's RuleReport on Voting14(CO)7514(CO)7776-1 © IEC: 1993- 7 -INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSIONPOWER TRANSFORMERSPart 1: GeneralFOREWORD1)The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardizationcomprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is topromote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical andelectronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards.Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested inthe subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental andnon-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IECcollaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance withconditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.2)The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees onwhich all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly aspossible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.3)They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, technicalreports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.4)In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC InternationalStandards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Anydivergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearlyindicated in the latter.5)The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for anyequipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.This International Standard has been, prepared by IEC by technical committee 14: Powertransformers.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1976 as well as thefirst edition of IEC 76-4 published in 1976.The text of this standard is based on the following documents:Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the reporton voting indicated in the above table.IEC 76 consists of the following parts, under the general title: Power transformers.SIST EN 60076-1:1997

76-1 © IEC: 1993-11 -POWER TRANSFORMERSPart 1: General1 Scope and service conditions1.1 ScopeThis part of International Standard IEC 76 applies to three-phase and single-phase powertransformers (including auto-transformers) with the exception of certain categories of smalland special transformers such as:-single-phase transformers with rated power less than 1 kVA and three-phasetransformers less than 5 kVA;-instrument transformers;-transformers for static convertors;-traction transformers mounted on rolling stock;-starting transformers;- testing transformers;-welding transformers.When IEC standards do not exist for such categories of transformers, this part of IEC 76may still be applicable either as a whole or in part.For those categories of power transformers and reactors which have their own IECstandards, this part is applicable only to the extent in which it is specifically called up bycross-reference in the other standard.*At several places in this part it is specified or recommended that an `agreement' shall bereached concerning alternative or additional technical solutions or procedures. Suchagreement is to be made between the manufacturer and the purchaser. The mattersshould preferably be raised at an early stage and the agreements included in the contractspecification.1.2 Service conditions1.2.1 Normal service conditionsThis part of IEC 76 gives detailed requirements for transformers for use under thefollowing conditions:a) AltitudeA height above sea-level not exceeding 1 000 m (3 300 ft).Such standards exist for dry-type transformers (IEC 726), for reactors in general (IEC 289), for tractiontransformers and reactors (IEC 310), and are under preparation for static convertor transformers.SIST EN 60076-1:1997

76-1 © IEC: 1993- 13 -b) Temperature of ambient air and cooling mediumA temperature of ambient air not below -25 °C and not above +40 °C. For water-cooledtransformers, a temperature of cooling water at the inlet not exceeding +25 °C.Further limitations, with regard to cooling are given for:-oil-immersed transformers in IEC 76-2;-dry-type transformers in IEC 726.c)Wave shape of supply voltageA supply voltage of which the wave shape is approximately sinusoidal.NOTE - This requirement is normally not critical in public supply systems but may have to be consideredin installations with considerable convertor loading. In such cases there is a conventional rule that thedeformation shall neither exceed 5 % total harmonic content nor 1 % even harmonic content. Also note theimportance of current harmonics for load loss and temperature rise.d)Symmetry of three-phase supply voltageFor three-phase transformers, a set of three-phase supply voltages which areapproximately symmetrical.e)Installation environmentAn environment with a pollution rate (see IEC 137 and IEC 815) that does not requirespecial consideration regarding the external insulation of transformer bushings or of thetransformer itself.An environment not exposed to seismic disturbance which would otherwise requirespecial consideration in the design. (This is assumed to be the case when the groundacceleration level ag is below 2 m/s2.)*1.2.2 Provision for unusual service conditionsAny unusual service conditions which may lead to special consideration in the design of atransformer shall be stated in the enquiry and the order. These may be factors such ashigh altitude, extreme high or low temperature, tropical humidity, seismic activity, severecontamination, unusual voltage or load current wave shapes and intermittent loading. Theymay also concern conditions for shipment, storage and installation, such as weight orspace limitations (see annex A).Supplementary rules for rating and testing are given in other publications for:-Temperature rise and cooling in high ambient temperature or at high altitude:IEC 76-2 for oil-immersed transformers, and IEC 726 for dry-type transformers.-External insulation at high altitude: IEC 76-3 and IEC 76-3-1 for oil-immersedtransformers, and IEC 726 for dry-type transformers.See IEC 68-3-3.SIST EN 60076-1:1997

For amulti-winding transformer there are several values of load loss corresponding to the different two-windingcombinations (see clause 6 of IEC 606). A combined load loss figure for the complete transformer isreferred to a specified winding load combination.

In percentage notation:Zz = 100 ZrefwhereU2Zref=Sr(Formula valid for both three-phase and single-phase transformers).U is the voltage (rated voltage or tapping voltage) of the winding to which Zand Zref belong.Sr is the reference value of rated power.The relative value is also equal to the ratio between the applied voltage during a short-circuit measurementwhich causes the relevant rated current (or tapping current) to flow, and rated voltage (or tapping voltage).This applied voltage is referred to as the short-circuit voltage [IEV 421-07-01) of the pair of windings. It isnormally expressed as a percentage. [IEV 421-07-02, modified]3.7.2 voltage drop or rise for a specified load condition: The arithmetic differencebetween the no-load voltage of a winding and the voltage developed at the terminals ofthe same winding at a specified load and power factor, the voltage supplied to (one of) theother winding(s) being equal to:- its rated value if the transformer is connected on the principal tapping (the no-loadvoltage of the former winding is then equal to its rated value);- the tapping voltage if the transformer is connected on another tapping.This difference is generally expressed as a percentage of the no-load voltage of theformer winding.NOTE - For multi-winding transformers, the voltage drop or rise depends not only on the load and powerfactor of the winding itself, but also on the load and power factor of the other windings (see IEC 606).[IEV 421-07-03]3.7.3 zero-sequence impedance (of a three-phase winding): The impedance,expressed in ohms per phase at rated frequency, between the line terminals of athree-phase star-connected or zigzag-connected winding, connected together, and itsneutral terminal. [IEV 421-07-04, modified]NOTES1 The zero-sequence impedance may have several values because it depends on how the terminals ofthe other winding or windings are connected and loaded.2 The zero-sequence impedance may be dependent on the value of the current and the temperature,particularly in transformers without any delta-connected winding.3 The zero-sequence impedance may also be expressed as a relative value in the same way as the(positive sequence) short-circuit impedance (see 3.7.1).SIST EN 60076-1:1997

76-1 ©IEC: 1993- 33 -3.11 Kinds of tests3.11.1 routine test: A test to which each individual transformer is subjected.3.11.2 type test: A test made on a transformer which is representative of othertransformers, to demonstrate that these transformers comply with specified requirementsnot covered by routine tests.NOTE - A transformer is considered to be representative of others if it is fully identical in rating andconstruction, but the type test may also be considered valid if it is made on a transformer which has minordeviations of rating or other characteristics. These deviations should be subject to agreement between themanufacturer and the purchaser.3.11.3 special test: A test other than a type test or a routine test, agreed by themanufacturer and the purchaser.3.12 Meteorological data with respect to cooling3.12.1 monthly average temperature: Half the sum of the average of the daily maximaand the average of the daily minima during a particular month - over many years.3.12.2 yearly average temperature: one-twelfth of the sum of the monthly averagetemperatures.4 Rating4.1 Rated powerThe transformer shall have an assigned rated power for each winding which shall bemarked on the rating plate. The rated power refers to continuous loading. This is areference value for guarantees and tests concerning load losses and temperature rises.If different values of apparent power are assigned under different circumstances, forexample, with different methods of cooling, the highest of these values is the rated power.A two-winding transformer has only one value of rated power, identical for both windings.When the transformer has rated voltage applied to a primary winding, and rated currentflows through the terminals of a secondary winding, the transformer receives the relevantrated power for that pair of windings.SIST EN 60076-1:1997

76-1 © IEC: 1993- 35 -The transformer shall be capable of carrying, in continuous service, the rated power (for amulti-winding transformer: the specified combination(s) of winding rated powers) underconditions listed in 1.2 and without exceeding the temperature-rise limitations specifiedin IEC 76-2.NOTE - The interpretation of rated power according to this subclause implies that it is a value of apparentpower input to the transformer - including its own absorption of active and reactive power. The apparentpower that the transformer delivers to the circuit connected to the terminals of the secondary winding underrated loading differs from the rated power. The voltage across the secondary terminals differs from ratedvoltage by the voltage drop (or rise) in the transformer. Allowance for voltage drop, with regard to loadpower factor, is made in the specification of the rated voltage and the tapping range (see clause 2 ofIEC 606).This is different from the method used in transformer standards based on US tradition (ANSI/IEEEC57.12.00), where 'rated kVA' is 'the output that can be delivered at . rated secondary voltage .According to that method, allowance for voltage drop has to be made in the design so that the necessaryprimary voltage can be applied to the transformer. In addition, ANSI/IEEE specifies, under 'Usual serviceconditions': 'load power factor is 80 % or higher' (quotation from 1987 edition).4.2 Loading cycleIf specified in the enquiry or the contract, the transformer may, in addition to its ratedpower for continuous loading, be assigned a temporary load cycle which it shall becapable of performing under conditions specified in IEC 76-2.NOTE - This option is to be used in particular to give a basis for design and guarantees concerningtemporary emergency loading of large power transformers.In the absence of such specification, guidance on loading of transformers complying withthis part may be found in IEC 354 and in IEC 905.The bushings, tap-changers and other auxiliary equipment shall be selected so as not torestrict the loading capability of the transformer.NOTE - These requirements do not apply to special purpose transformers, some of which do not needloading capability above rated power. For others, special requirements will be specified.4.3 Preferred values of rated powerFor transformers up to 10 MVA, values of rated power should preferably be taken from theR10 series given in ISO 3 (1973): preferred numbers: series of preferred numbers.(.100, 125, 160, 200, 250, 315, 400, 500, 630, 800, 1 000, etc.).4.4 Operation at higher than rated voltage and/or at disturbed frequencyMethods for the specification of suitable rated voltage values and tapping range to copewith a set of loading cases (loading power and power factor, corresponding line-to-lineservice voltages) are described in IEC 606.Within the prescribed value of Um*, a transformer shall be capable of continuous servicewithout damage under conditions of `overfluxing' where the ratio of voltage over frequencyexceeds the corresponding ratio at rated voltage and rated frequency by no more than5 %.Urn the highest voltage for equipment applicable to a transformer winding (see IEC 76-3).SIST EN 60076-1:1997

76-1 ©IEC: 1993- 37 -5 Requirements for transformers having a tapped winding5.1 General - Notation of tapping rangeThe following subclauses apply to transformers in which only one of the windings is atapped winding.In a multi-winding transformer, the statements apply to the combination of the tappedwinding with either of the untapped windings.In auto-connected transformers, tappings are sometimes arranged at the neutral whichmeans that the effective number of turns is changed simultaneously in both windings. Forsuch transformers, the tapping particulars are subject to agreement. The requirements ofthis clause should be used as far as applicable.Unless otherwise specified, the principal tapping is located in the middle of the tappingrange. Other tappings are identified by their tapping factors. The number of tappings andthe range of variation of the transformer ratio may be expressed in short notation by thedeviations of the tapping factor percentages from the value 100 (for definitions of terms,see 3.5).Example: A transformer with a tapped 160 kV winding having altogether 21 tappings,symmetrically placed, is designated:(160±10x 1,5%)/66kVIf for some reason the tapping range is specified asymmetrically around the rated voltage,we may get:+12x1,5%160 _8x1,5%> /66kVNOTE - This way of short notation is only a description of the arrangement of the tapped winding anddoes not imply actual variations of applied voltage on that winding in service. This is dealt with in 5.2and 5.3.Regarding the full presentation on the nameplate of data related to individual tappings,see clause 7.Some tappings may be 'reduced-power tappings' due to restrictions in either tappingvoltage or tapping current. The boundary tappings where such limitations appear arecalled 'maximum voltage tapping' and 'maximum current tapping' (see figure 1).5.2 Tapping voltage - tapping current. Standard categories of tappingvoltage variation. Maximum voltage tappingThe short notation of tapping range and tapping steps indicates the variation range of theratio of the transformer. But the assigned values of tapping quantities are not fully definedby this alone. Additional information is necessary. This can be given either in tabular formwith tapping power, tapping voltage and tapping current for each tapping, or as text,indicating 'category of voltage variation' and possible limitations of the range within whichthe tappings are `full-power tappings'.SIST EN 60076-1:1997

76-1 ©IEC: 1993- 39 -The extreme categories of tapping voltage variation are:-constant flux voltage variation (CFVV), and-variable flux voltage variation (VFVV).They are defined as follows:CFVVThe tapping voltage in any untapped winding is constant from tapping to tapping. Thetapping voltages in the tapped winding are proportional to the tapping factors.VFVVThe tapping voltage in the tapped winding is constant from tapping to tapping. The tappingvoltages in any untapped winding are inversely proportional to the tapping factor.CbVV (Combined voltage variation)In many applications and particularly with transformers having a large tapping range, acombination is specified using both principles applied to different parts of the range:combined voltage variation (CbVV). The change-over point is called `maximum voltagetapping'. For this system the following applies:CFVV applies for tappings with tapping factors below the maximum voltage tappingfactor.VFVV applies for tappings with tapping factors above the maximum voltage tappingfactor.Graphic presentation of tapping voltage variation categories:CFVV figure 1a) - VFVV figure 1b) - CbVV figure 1c)Symbols:UA , IATapping voltage and tapping current in the tapped winding.UB , /BTapping voltage and tapping current in the untapped winding.SABTapping power.AbscissaTapping factor, percentage (indicating relative number of effective turns intapped winding).1Indicates full-power tappings throughout the tapping range.2Indicates `maximum-voltage tapping', `maximum current tapping' andrange of reduced power tappings.SIST EN 60076-1:1997

Full-power tappings - reduced-power tappingsAll tappings shall be full-power tappings, except as specified below.In separate-winding transformers up to and including 2 500 kVA with a tapping range notexceeding ± 5 % the tapping current in the tapped winding shall be equal to rated currentat all minus tappings. This means that the principal tapping is a `maximum currenttapping', see below.In transformers with a tapping range wider than ± 5 %, restrictions may be specified onvalues of tapping voltage or tapping current which would otherwise rise considerablyabove the rated values. When such restrictions are specified, the tappings concerned willbe `reduced-power tappings'. This subclause describes such arrangements.When the tapping factor deviates from unity, the tapping current for full-power tappingsmay rise above rated current on one of the windings. As figure la) illustrates, this appliesfor minus tappings, on the tapped winding, under CFVV, and for plus tappings on theuntapped winding under VFVV (figure 1 b)). In order to limit the correspondingreinforcement of the winding in question, it is possible to specify a maximum currenttapping. From this tapping onwards the tapping current values for the winding are thenspecified to be constant. This means that the remaining tappings towards the extremetapping are reduced-power tappings (see figures 1 a), lb) and lc)).SIST EN 60076-1:1997

76-1 © IEC: 1993– 45 –Under CbVV, the 'maximum voltage tapping', the change-over point between CFVV andVFVV shall at the same time be a 'maximum current tapping' unless otherwise specified.This means that the untapped winding current stays constant up to the extreme plustapping (figure 1c).5.4 Specification of tappings in enquiry and orderThe following data are necessary to define the design of the transformer.a)Which winding shall be tapped.b)The number of steps and the tapping step (or the tapping range and number ofsteps). Unless otherwise specified it shall be assumed that the range is symmetricalaround the principal tapping and that the tapping steps in the tapped winding are equal.If for some reason the design has unequal steps, this shall be indicated in the tender.c)The category of voltage variation and, if combined variation is applied, thechange-over point ('maximum voltage tapping', see 5.2).d)Whether maximum current limitation (reduced power tappings) shall apply, and ifso, for which tappings.Instead of items c) and d), tabulation of the same type as used on the rating plate may beused to advantage (see example in annex B).The specification of these data may be accomplished in two different ways:–either the user may specify all data from the beginni
