12 2 General requirements for a traction transformer
13 Replace Subclause 2.2 by the following:
14 2.2 Checking of the capability of the transformer to sustain the stipulated load cycle
15 2.2.1 General
16 The temperature rise test shall be carried out in accordance with either EN 60076-2 or EN 60076-11
17 as applicable.
18 The current basis for determining the temperature rises shall be the rated service current (the
19 approximate relationship between the rated current and the rated service current is given in
20 Table C.3).
21 The resulting temperature rises after long-time overloads shall be within the limits of the temperature
22 rises prescribed in EN 60076-2 and EN 60076-11 under the stipulated ambient conditions and altitude.
23 The winding temperature rise after short-time overload conditions may exceed by 15 K the applicable
24 temperature rise limits according to EN 60076-2 and EN 60076-11.
25 When determining the temperature rises the effect of the harmonics should be considered as follows.
26 2.2.2 Temperature rise measurement for liquid immersed transformers
27 The procedure of 5.2.2 of EN 60076-2 is applicable with the exceptions mentioned here below. The
28 specified duty class or load cycle shall be taken into account. For transformers designed according to
29 a duty class the test cycles given in Figure A.1 to Figure A.3 apply.
30 The transformer in short circuit conditions shall be injected with a current causing the total losses. In
31 case of a traction converter transformer, the total losses are intended as the sum of the no-load loss
32 and of the total load losses determined according to Annex C.

33 Total losses calculated on the service current in basic load condition (I ) are injected as long to reach
BG
34 temperature steady-state conditions and then the long-term overload current is injected, for the
35 specified duration of said overload according to the duty class or load cycle. The final top oil
36 temperature rise shall be recorded.
37 For determining the temperature rises of windings, the transformer shall be subsequently loaded by
38 service currents representing the basic load (including the effect of harmonics), for the time necessary
39 to reach steady temperatures of the windings, and, for the respective durations, the service currents
40 corresponding to long-time overloads, and, when practicable and agreed between purchaser and
41 supplier, service currents corresponding to short-time overloads.
42 Measurements shall be taken at the end of the long-time overload duration and, when applicable, at
43 the end of the short-time overload duration. When actual measurements are found impossible, it is
44 allowed to agree to carry out calculations on temperature variations along the short-time load duration,
45 performed according to conventional methods.
46 IEC 60076-7 gives some guidance for such a calculation.
47 2.2.3 Temperature rise measurement for dry-type transformers
48 The requirements given in Clause 23 of EN 60076-11 apply taking into account that in the second part
49 of the test the losses attributable to the various stages of the current demand shall be calculated and
50 successively applied and the overloads for the respective duration. Annex C allows to determine total
51 load losses.
52 Measurements shall be taken at the end of the long-time overload duration and, when applicable, at
53 the end of the short-time overload duration. For transformers designed according to a duty class, the
54 test cycles given in Figure A.1 to Figure A.3 apply.
55 When actual measurements are not possible, it may be agreed to carry out calculations on
56 temperature variations along the short-time load duration, performed according to conventional
57 methods.
58 IEC 60905 gives some guidance for such a calculation.
59 2.2.4 Alternative criteria for determining temperature rise limits
60 On agreement between purchaser and manufacturer temperature limits and thermal ageing according
61 to IEC 60076-7 and IEC 60905 may be applied.
62 If the purchaser is able to define the load cycle in an extensive way as current demand, the capability
63 of the transformer to sustain this current demand shall be checked as follows:
64 – temperature rise and loss measurements shall be performed at sinusoidal load with rated service
65 current;
66 – based on these measurements, the top-oil temperature, the hot-spot temperatures of the
67 windings and the relative loss of life for the given current demand shall be calculated. The loss of
68 life calculation procedure of IEC 60076-7 can be used;
69 – the temperatures at the beginning of the load-cycle shall be set equal to those at the end of the
70 load cycle to consider a steady state condition; the maximum service temperature shall be taken
71 into account;
72 – the calculated relative loss of life for the load cycle shall be lower than 1;
73 – for oil immersed transformers, the maximum occasional hot-spot- temperature shall be lower than
74 140 °C and the maximum top oil temperature shall be lower than 115 °C during the load cycle;
75 – the influence of harmonics shall be considered as described in Annex C.

82 Replace Clause 4 by the following:
83 4 Traction converter transformers
84 4.1 General
85 The EN 61378 series specifies requirements for converter transformers for industrial use. This clause
86 specifies additional requirements for traction rectifier transformers of most common use in substations
87 with semiconductor diode rectifiers. Traction converter transformers for controlled converters need
88 additional considerations and are subject to special agreement between purchaser and supplier.
89 Transformers for 6-pulse three-phase bridge connections have one primary and one secondary
90 winding.
91 Transformers for 12-pulse rectifier connections have one or two primary windings and two secondary
92 windings with a 30° phase shift between the secondary windings. One secondary winding is commonly
93 star connected and the other is delta connected. Three types of rectifier transformers are preferably
94 used for 12-pulse traction rectifier groups:
95 a) three-windings transformer with one primary winding and two closely coupled secondary windings:
96 coupling factor K ≥ 0,9;
97 b) three-windings transformer with one primary winding and two loosely coupled secondary windings:
98 coupling factor 0,2 ≤ K < 0,9;
99 c) four-windings transformer with two primary windings and two uncoupled secondary windings:
100 coupling factor K < 0,2.
101 Three-windings transformers with closely coupled secondary windings are the preferred type for
102 12-pulse series connections and they are also used for 12-pulse parallel connections. The 12-pulse
103 parallel connection needs an interphase transformer between the two rectifier bridges.
104 NOTE 1 At low secondary voltages as for example for series connected rectifier groups for nominal voltage 750 V d.c. it is
105 practically impossible to reach a coupling factor K ≥ 0,9 due to the inductance of busbars.
106 Three-windings transformers with loosely coupled secondary windings are used for 12-pulse parallel
107 connections with interphase transformer where certain requirements regarding vo
