Consideration of Standards and Recommendations for Selection,
Installation and Maintenance of Substation Transformers_Final
Draft_021120
Abstract
This paper will discuss the key applicable North American Standards
defining performance, testing, installation and routine field
maintenance of liquid-immersed distribution substation transformers.
These transformers, typically applied in commercial and industrial power
systems, can be installed either in outdoor or indoor locations, applied
as remote or close-coupled to either primary or secondary switchgear, or
both. Recommendations based on these standards for selection,
installation and factory/field testing industry users should specify to
maximize reliability, operational efficiency and safety will follow.
